married n minister, so that before my
marriage l understood the life | was
entering on.
81 made it my first effort to spare Mr..
Bcechcr's time by attending to his cor
respondence and to financial matters.
Our desks stood in adjoining windows,
and it was only with the most impor-
tant letters that troubled him. Some
of these he answered, on others he
would write four or five words as q
guide to me. The checks for his salary
were made payable to me, and if he
wanted money he came to me for it, ex-
cept that he retained the proceeds of
his lectures, making himself fund of
spending money
II saw all callers who came to the
house, so many of them only curiosity
seekers When he was in the house I
never left it, and so his energies were
not drawn on except in cases of impor-
lance and urgency.
II was not able to do in addition n
great amount of parish visiting, though
did what was possible. In my early
married life l was asked to lead the
female prayer meeting, but it was very
hard for me and did not continue.
ut was in the war days that we werc
lifted out of ourselves completely.
remember the dispatch that came to us
one day at Peekskill, where Mr..
Beccher was recuperating from hay
fever, saying that his boys-tho Brook
lyn phalanx- the other regiments
at Fort Schuyler were without food and
without clothes.
81 came down to the city Immediate
~ and crossed to Fort Schuyler to sec
the condition of things / wouldn't
think of being pulled across the Mar
rows in a rowboat now, but thon one
hadn't time to think of being afraid.
Then l went about to the bakers for
their stale loavcs, and with an express
wagon to the shops for mattresses and
blankets and-but / can't talk about
ministers wives. If l had thought the
"reminiscences 1 have been writing
would have taken me back through SO
many years of my life 1 could not have
begun them" and Mrs. Beechcr's face
beneath her white hair became thought
full.
The wife of Rev. DR.. Theodore l..
Cuyler,' whose influence through his
books has been worldwide, believes
that the work of the minister's wife can
be done most gently and efficiently in
her own home.
"a minister" she says, sometimes
marries before he fixes on his profess
sion and usually narries to suit himself
rather than his congregation. If his
wife makes him happy in his home and
leaves him as free as possible to pursue
his work untrammelcd, she aids him
most cffectually.

me for my portrait for n memorial they

pany with two friends, Mir, Hnd Mfs Minter, being famed by tho gentle zephyrs of May. Mir. Richardson sug- gested to Mrs. Woodin that they drive out on this beautiful prairie and get married. Mrs. Minter being of rather a romantic nature aud possessing good persuasive powers, thought this capital idea, so she turned at once with all her charming forces upon her subjects with the above result. Preliminaries were qaickly arranged, license, preach CT aad buggies procured All in the course of half an hour. The party proceeded at once to the edge of the prairie and under the spreading branchs of two majestic oaks, with their faces toward the setting sun, J Richardson and Jennie F. Woodin were pronounced man and wife by "a mo { beautiful and impressive ceremony.
 We wish for them all the joys of q married life, happiness and prosperity and a happy, happy future. May god speed attend them on their journey through life.
