a Famous woman's childhood.

NEW YORK, March 31.-Mrs. Henry
Ward Beecher was born in a small vii
Iage in Vermont, the daughter of the
village doctor, who was richer in chill
dren than this worlds goods, and this
little daughter had to be his helper in all
the little operations where her deft fin
gers could aid him. She unconsciously
learned in those years of training all
those needed accomplishments in the
way of caring for the sick and minor
surgical operations that helped her SO
greatly in after life as pastors wife in the
small towns where Mr.. Beecher was first
called. And she had mother the very
embodiment of neatness, economy and
systematic order, added to industry, and
these qualities she instilled into her
daughters mind until the little Eunice
was almost as capable as her mother.
These habits of system enabled her in
after life to plan for her husband and
keep his work systematized, so that he
accomplished hundredfold more work
than he could have done if left to him.
self, and few know how much of his
fame was due to the care and system of
Mrs. Beecher.
When Mrs. Beecher was little girl
at home she studied, helped her mother,
learned to sew in the neatest manner, to
cook and keep house, besides which,
every evening she worked "stent' of
straw braiding. She was never allowed
to waste anything or to be idle mo-
ment, and she grew into a pretty,
healthy girl, who even to this day is
lovely woman
