BEECHER's REPLY TO HIS CLERICAL.
CRITICS s

Boston, Oct 27.-Rev Henry Ward
Beecher, invited by the Iraoeler to express
his views of the criticisms of various min
listers of New England upon his recent
withdrawal from the Congregational body,
writes the following letter:
BROOKLYN, Oct 90, 1882
My Dear .Sir: I thank YOU for the let
tiers and papers, / have read somewhat
largely the expressions of these many and
excellent men in regard to my orthodoxy
consistency influence and general merit
without wishing for a moment to re-
ply, as you kindly request me. When
a dead man is lying on the dis
secting table under the hands
of experts, it would be unbecomming for
him to rise up suddenly and discuss with
his surgeons the propriety of their meth
DDS and the truth of the results. It is
not often one can see himself as other see
him, and especially as Boston sees him;
and, more than all, as Boston clergynlen
see him. l am reduced to pulp, but.
thank heaven, not to ashes. When you
suggest reply to these, | am sure you can
have no. conception of the subdued and en-
hghtened state of my mind | am bent on
improvement. Laying aside all my old
notions of my beliefs of my standing,
| am carefully putting together the real
man that now am taught I am. When
get my new personal identity together
and in working shape, / intend to study
theology somewhere, though in my pres
emit confusion / cannot yet see whether I
shall study at Andover or Boston. New
Haven is nearer, but DR. Smyth has been
settled there, and / fear laxity of doctrine
in his neighborhoeG. Princeton is not far
to the south of me, but DIR. McCosh is a
Christian evelatioRisty and it would be
folly after what have suffered to come
under the malarial influence of that phi
losophy. On the whole, incline to study
at Park street. but, wherever l may go,
am determined before I die to find theol-
ogy which win pass muster at Bangor. at
Andover, at Cambridge, at New Haven, at
Princeton, at Allegany, at Oberlin, at Chi
cago and ats Park street. Then shall
die. Yours,

A Curious snuf-box.


Shortly after the breaking7out OF the
French revolution, its advocates de-
noslnced our premier as IAN enemy to
the sHuman race that man, $50 easy
to live with, y who sung the song about
himself, called BILLY Pitt, The Tory ;
His secretary one day told him that a
foreigner, who spoke English tolerably
well, had twice or thrice asked TO see
him; but, not looking like a proper APP
plicant, had been sent away, the great
mans time being too precious for him
to admit every stranger who, on frivol-
Gus pretexts, might seek to crafty an
idle curiosity. This person, however,
had said he should return in an hour;
the secretary, therefore, thought it his
duty to inform Mr.. Pitt of such inten-
ton, and asked his further orders in the
affair.

There will be no danger, thank
you; but you may be within call, if you

Accordingly the Frenchman, on his
return, was ushered into the room
where William Pitt sat alone-a loaded
pistol in one hand, the miniature in the
other.

calmly, ''you see am in every way pre-

The intended assassin stood paralyzed
and dumb at the cool reception.
But" continued Pitt. there is an
other alternative-pe safety and
high rewards are in your power. Sell
your services to Great Britain; make
your market of whatever secret informal
ton you can procure that may guard us
against the Vaccinations of Your coun-

lis which policy forces us to use in des-
perate cases; do what no honorable man
could do to save Yourself from speedy
death; your conscience is stained by
