WHY HE WITHDREW.

Mir. Beecher's withdrawal from the colossal and grand aggregation of con- gregational churches was received with much surprise and declarations of 'f said so.r The dwarfs throughout the country who weekly hand out swiveled pictures of much abused and long suf- fering gospel. have for years expressed themselves in warmth of denunciation when speaking of Mir Beecher- Believing ,ha, popular prejudice was against the man. the small preachers. ever ready to pander. have stood on the hind legs of their ministerial architecture and prayed solemn warning into the ears of the deaf old gentleman who snoozes in the pew. and the giggling girl who grins at the snug young ignoramus who loiters in the neighborh ood of benches just beyond.
 The cause of MT. Beeeher's withdrawal has gwen rise to much speculation. Some say that the reverend gentleman. suddenly discovered that he really did not know anything of the average situation held by the soul after death-whether II would engage in agricultural pursuits, run news papers or gain social prominence in the hide and tallow business, expressed him. self to this effect and was requested by the executive committee to come down from the ticket But the true cause is only known to us. and of course to the distin- guished gentleman himself; and now. after the compostors and proof reader are compelled to know the cause, we shall give it to the public. ..

Some of the finest newspaper and mag
 axine articles that the world has ever seen have been written during moments ofin- tense pain. Hood often wrote while he suffered intensely. and in ali ages II seems that the pangs of hunger have urged the mind to brilliant flights. Goldsmith often wrote when he was so hungry that he could have eaten a parboiled hedge hog. and Johnson produced his heaviest work while his stomach was lightest. With these facts in view, young Hopson, an Ar kansaw newspaper man entered his ofdce one night to write an editorial on ''The

 was not genius. He did not know the
 value of money, and boasted that it was
 impossible for him to carry any change

THE PATH OF. SAFETY. There is but
one road to happiness and prosperity, for
either an individual or nation, and that ia
economy and faithful persistence in the le.
gitimate paths of business. The riches that
come in an hour, generally go in an hour,
and do more harm than go)d Hence we
call upon all good people to unite in an eff.
fort to stay the tide of wild excess. Let a
man be frowned upon in society when it is
known that he is living beyond his means.
And so shall the nation be saved from the
milestone that has dragged other republics
to destruction so shall our young men find
larger and nobler devotion than that of
money.
