In the June number OF Hdrpsr's Montlsl,
George William eGfa5 writes: lt=R
twenty years since Mr.. Lincoln died, and
General Grant lies Smitten unto death.
They were the greatest civil and the
greatest military figures Of the war.
They were both essentially Ameri-
can, both what are called self
made mon, which means only that they
made the best Of their opportunities.
they had each the same sturdy, honest,
simple character, and they both per
formed the highest Office by the choice
and affection Of the people without
the least selfish or dangerous
ambition. This is the unprecedented
praise Of the three Presidents whose
names will be probably most conspicuous
to our annals. They held the supreme
place. Two Of them had been victorious
soldiers. One of them had guided the
State througha fierce and long civil war.
But each lett liberty more secure.
General Grants name as President viii

Young married people are surprised
when they d scuyer that the honeymoon
IL not entirely composed of honey. Even
the first year Of married life is not always
the happiest. though it ought always to be
very happy. Living together happily is
an art winch the most a1ectionate couple
cannot ordinarily learn in year, Each
hiss to make some unpleasant discoveries
and to overcome some fixed fnclinations.
Thus happiness begins when these dis
coyer;es have been made, and each is
thoroughly resolved 10 make the other as
happy as possible for all time.
Marriage Is sometimes said TO be the
door that leads deluded mnItals back to
earth; but this need not aud ought not to
be the case. Certainly love may end with
the honeymoon il people marry TO crafty
t'gunpoSdsr passion, " or for the sake Of
mere outward beauty, which is like a
glass soon broke. OF course the enthusi-
astic, tempestuous love OF counting days
will not as q rule survive marriage. A
married couple soon get to feel towards
each other very much Us two ehulns at
college, or two partners in business who
are at the same time old and well-tried
friends. Young married people often
think those who have been in the holy

Mr.. Beeeher hasa strongly marked up.
pearanee. He Is robust Asplendid con.
stitution has been sedulously guarded.
His face in the upper part Is intellectual
and spiritual. The lower Is heavy, and Il
not relieved by the eyes and front would
be gross and linpleasiug. But when the
countenance lights up with the glowing
feryor Of the orator, il affords field on
which al the passing emotions are de
pieted. He Is wide student, has read
much, and observed nature and human
life keenly. He loveschildrenand flowers.
Heis connotsseur Of art-a keen critic Of
men and manner. His theology Is of no
school, and Is to come strangely and per.
plexingiy Inconsistent. He Is humorist,
attimes carrying the grotesque beyond the
limits not merely Of pulpit law, but even
those Of general good taste. he evidently
represses much that bubbles up to his lips
to say. What he says might sometimes
be better kept within the ''white bounds
Of the teeth" He deals with Scripture in
very free and unconventional manner.
He Is rich in illustration, drawn from
nature, history, art, and human LIE. His
dramatic powers are great. His preach
ing Is partly delivered from notes, but
amongst these he interpreted freely
spoken passages, some OF which at times
are of the highest order Of incisiFe ad-
dress, eloquent, rich in suggestion, full Of
the largest sympathy, the noblest sent.
ment Of deyout aspiration and human en-.
thusiasn1.
Il would be impossible to characterfze
Mr.. Beecher's preaching. It is go varied,
so multiforn. We might more easily say
what be is not than what he is. He fur
nishes illustrations Of all styles, and he
continues, even now that he has passed
the SEVENTEEN year Of his life, fresh,
vigorous, young as ever. The distinguish
ing qualities Of his stvle are radiance and
joyousness. His sermons are like floods
Of sunshine, in which there is perpetual
stir and stress Of life. There Is no preacher
in our time-perhaps there hiss been
never preacher-who has pressed into
the service Of tho pulpit SO vide range
Of treatment, sympathy and method. It
would not be excessive il we should en-
title him the Shakespeare OF the pulpit, SO
rich, so varied, 80 manifold has been the
spirit and manner Of his work.
