A story of the Suicide Beecher

Prom the New York Times.
Mr.. Beecher used to preach to the natives
in his school house on every Sabbath day and
the country for miles around turned out to
listen to his teachings. For years he never
missed but one Sunday, and the way IN which
he happened TO miss that single appointment
gives the text for good story. When he
first moved into the wilds he kept the run
OF time by cutting notch into stick
as each day went by. OF course this required
good deal OF care, but Mr.. Beecher
was sure that he was careful. One morning
he started for his school house TO preach his
usual Sunday sermon when he came to the
cabin OF one of the most devout members of
the flock to find the housewife hard at work
over her wash tubs. The shocked man Of
God promptly, and somewhat energetically
probably, reproyed her for her open desecra-
ton of the Sabbath. The woman rubbed
her eyes and scrutinized him half suspicious.
ly, to break out finally:
So La, Mr.. Beecher, this amt Sunday it's
Monday"
And she convinced hin. that she was right
whereupon he calculated
"T Then Pun the culprit, for 4 never did
bigger days work In my life than yester-
day." He had missed ono notch In that al
manac stick.

Now the propensity for wsding which is
deeply implanted in the female bosom is in
explicable. Unless a girl has the influenza
or bunion, she cannot resist the temptation
to paddle about in the salt water and get her
clothing uncomfortably wet. This is sub
ject full of interest to me from the casting
aside of the shoes and stockings to their re-
sumption. 1t is a fact pretty generally
known in male circles that ladies' prefer sit
ting on the ground when pulling on and OIL
their stock ings to occupying chair or bench.
But having my doubts as to the infiexibility
OF this rule, i had determined to convince
myself by experiment After the setting of
my traps, to wit, the benches, l had not long
to wait a bevy OF young ladies', one or two
Of whom j recognized, came trooping down
the beach, chatting and laughing merrily.
They evidently wondered who had been
kind enough to place the benches there for
their accommodation, took possession OF
them at once gleefully, confessed that they
were just too delightful for anything, and
seemed perfectly and unrestrainedly happy.
1 was rejoiced at having disproved moldy
theory, but alas, my satisfaction was short
lived. When my guests made up their
minds that 1t was time to wade they sprang
from the benches. sat on the beach aud
fugged away at shoes aud stockings in the
old fashion. On the following day, resolving
to give my experiment every chance, had
my hireling bathman strew quantity of
broken bottles, empty oyster cans and rub
bish OF various kinds along the beach and sat
under my umbrella and watched. The girls
came down about the same hour, seemed q
little dismayed at first, but rsllying set to
work industriously and soon had clear
space upon which they squatted, not taking
the least notice OF the benches this time.

Teaching the Nurse Girl by An Object Lesson.

From the Phlladetph1a Gail.
A lady overheard a nurse girl talking to
the little child she was putting to sleep, aud
among other legends OF the nursery in which
she INDUCED WAS this 4" II you don't go
right to sleep this very minute a great big,
awful black bear, with eyes like Goals of fire,
aud sharp, white, cruel teeth, will come out
from under the bed aud e-a-t-y-ou.a-ll.u-p,"
The poor little thing nestled down under the
clothes to dream OF horrid bears eating her
up. That night when the stolid nurse had
composed herself in her own comfortable bed
and had put the lamp out, there came a sud
den rap at the door, and the voice of the mis-
tress called loudly through the panels
" Maggie Maggie get up as quick as you
can There's a burglar under your bed 90
At the word burglar" " the girl sprang
screaming from the bed, tore open the door
and fell into Mysteries in the hall. The lesson
was more Instructive than the mistress de-
signed, but when the girls fears had calmed,
she said to her 4" Y ou did not hesitate to
tell my little delicate child, who could not
possibly know that 1t was a lie, cruel story
OF bear under her bed now when treat
you TO the same kind of story you are nearly
frightened 10 death. Tomorrow you can go

Murder Charged to swinburne's Poetry.

Bessie Bramble in Pittsburg Dispatch.
1t seems from latest accounts, that Swim
burne's poetry is to be held responsible for
the murder of Genevieve Kahler by her hus-
band, Win. Thompson, and his own suicide.
He had read Swinburue, says a garrulous
friend, and was imbued 10y his sentimental,
poetic views of death and love, and love and
death TO such an extent that death became to
him beautiful thing, passionate thing
that death was the end of love, the freedom
from love, aud yet the never ending thrall OF
love. Now, ii this isn't twaddle, what is it ?
And II respectable, intelligent, talented
young men are to be INSPIRED to murder and
sudden deeth by such romantic gush, it is
very evident that Swinburne should be la
helied dangerous, and only be issued from
Libraries and sold from book stores on pre-.
scrlption of competent physician. Ii a
young man OF good education and fine talents
VINO has reached the age OF %, has not gump-
tion enough to go to work and earn a living
Tor the woman he loves, but prefers love in
death and death III love, and all that sort OF
stun through having soaked his mind in
Swinburnes sensuous poetry, then 1t must
be evident that Swinburne Is a dangerous
poet to have around. \ good dose OF Samuel
Smiles "Self Help would have been much
more to the point
If he had not had such "a wealth of poetic
feeling," and if he hadn't written Swim
purnean verses, and II ne nau not wanted
''to love and be loved and then have death
wrap us both up together andcarry us where
tnere Is no forgetting" and If he had had
That much more desirable common sense, he
would have brayely baltled with the world
Tor MS love rather than have murdered her
A wealth of poetic feelings is all very we'll
but 1t doesn't furnish bread and butter, nor
pay house rent and taxes. 1T it had not been
Tor the Swinburnean poetry the supposition
Is that as all the beautiful stories end up, this
loving young couple would have gone to
housekeeping in everyday style, and lived a
happy humdrum life, and perhaps in a few
years have gone TO sunday school picnic on
Fourth OF July Juggling huge basket of
good things, and passed around shooting
crackers and lemonade TO the small fry
This would not have been ''a lite of passion
and beauty and drift, drift with the rope
cut" but Genevieve would probably rather
have chosen it than to be murdered by the
man she loved in cold blood. To all such
romantic young men it should be said that il
they read Swinburne, if they must lose their
minds through love and financial embarrass-
ment, II they must die rather than do their
duty, they should in all fairness shoot them
selves first.
