1t Aroused Threats Against His Life and
Against His Church..
Mrs. Henry Ward Bcechcr. in Il graph
ic, reminiscent article entitled ''When
Mr.. Bcechcr Sold Slaves In Plymouth
Pulpit i'll The Ladies' Home Journal.
tells of the peril i'll which the famous
preacher placed his life by his fearless
advocacy of the abolition of slavery. Gin
1S47 Mr.. Bcecher became the pastor of
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, and i'll his
inaugural sermon She says, she frank
ly stated the position that he intended
to hold in opposition to human slavery.
The majority of the church members
agreed with him. but the majority of
the people of New York and Brooklyn
were southern s~ympathizers. OF the re-
alities of slavery they knew nothing.
They regarded it sentimentally as a pa
triarchal institution that had come down
from Biblical times and that gave the
southern people ample leisure to develop
into charming ladies and eloquent poll
ticians.
"Mr. Eeecher came to open the eyes
and arouse the consciences of these sen
timentalists, and he encountered as bit
ter an opposition as that which he had
faced i'll Cincinnati. He was abused as
u negro worshiper, no was threatened
with personal violence, q mob was
formed i'll New York to tear down the
church i'll which he preached. 1 have
known him, i'll response to my entreat-
les to be careful, to walk in the middle
of the streets of Brooklyn, with his
hand on the revolver i'll his pocket, lest
he should he suddenly attacked. Letters

chimes to our house We're often received

box came by express after the receipt of
such IL letter. Twas afraid to open it and
equally afraid that Mr.. Beecher, who
never knew fear, would open it MS soon
as he returned, sol sent for a policeman,
and, after being thoroughly soaked, the

Tho True Test Of Oysters.

"The best oyster experts that I know
of" said the captain of an oyster boat,
Judge an oyster by the smell, instead
of by the taste. There is something
about the smell of any oyster that indi-
Gates its condition to me much palmer
than does the taste. People buy them
and eat them probably Oh account of
their taste. So also do they buy tea,
coffee and the various grades Of whisky
and brandy for their taste, but all ex-
perts on those things pass upon them
entirely by their smell. The professional
tea faster or whisky faster, so called,
never tastes them, but simply arrives at
their taste by their peculiarities of fla
vor, or, to speak plainly, smell.
II can tell what price u load of oys-
tiers will be rated at when they arrive at
the wharf here by opening up the hold
of the boat and smelling. III eight cases
out of ten ] am right. 1t strikes oyster
men as strange when they see persons
going about from boat to boat, as they
lie at the wharf, tasting oysters before
they conclude to buy. Taste is all right,
but if they don't smell right they will
never taste right. Washington Star.

party for years, and whose support is
the kind that amounts to something,
is one of the many who have become
disguised with the conglomeration
that captured the state last fall. He
closes one of his pungent editorials
with this sentence: 1.-The Review
would suggest that by the time the So

who represent the conservative ele-
ment along with Senator Kyle, are dis
owned by the radicals and read out of
the party, the radicals will feel pretty
lonely about the time the ballots are

SONG OF THE BURDEN BEARER.

Over the narrow footpath
That led fron, my lowly doc,
I went with n thought of tho Master,
As oft / had walked before.
My heart was heavily laden,
And with tears my eyes were dim,
But / knew / should lose the burden
Could / get u glimpse of him.
Over tho trodden pathway,
To the fields all shorn and bare,
] went with "a step that faltercd
And u face that told of caro-.
] had lost the light OF the morning,
With its simmer of sun and dew,
But a gracious look of the Master
Would the strength of morn renew.
While yet my courage wavered
And the sky before mo blurred
] heard u voice behind mo
Saying - tender word,
And / turned to see the brightness
OF HEAVIER upon the o u
And suddenly lost the pressure
OF the weary, crushing load.
Nothing that hour was altered
had still the weight of care
But bore it now with gladncss
Which comes of answered prayer.
Not II grief tho soul can fcttcr
Nor cloud its vision when
The dear Lord gives the spirit
To breathe to his will amen.
