DR.. LYMAN BEECHER.
The Great Preachers Peculiar Habits In
Preparing His Sermons.

DR.. Lyman Beecher's peculiar habits,
shown by his method of preparing ser
mons, are illustrated in Annie Field s
latest book, "The'L Life and Letters of
Harriet Beeoher Stowe In her words
''If he was 20 preach in the evening,
he was 10 be seen all day talking with
whoever would talk, accessible TO all,
full of everybody's affairs, business and
burdens, till an hour or two before the
time. when he would rush up into his
study (Which he always preferred should
be the topmost room of the house,, and,
throwing off his coat, after swing or
two with the dumbbeIls to settle the
balance of his muscles he would sit
down and dash ahead, making quanti-
ties of hieroglyphic notes on small stub
bed bits of paper about as big as the
palm of his hand. The bells would be-
gin to ring, and still he would write.
They would toll loud and long, and his
wife would say, He will certainly be
late, and then would be running up
and down stairs of messengers to see
that he was finished, till, Just as the
last stroke of the bell was dying away,
he would emerge from the study with
his coat very much awry and come
down the stairs like hurricane, stand
impatiently protesting while female
hands that ever lay in wait adjusted his
cravat and settled his coat collar, call
ing loudly the whilo for pin to fasten
together the stubbed little bits of paper
aforesaid, which being duly dropped
into the crown of his hat and, hooking
wife or daughter like satchel ON his
arm, away he would start on such a
race through the streets as left neither
brain nor breath till the church was
gained. Then came the process of get
ting in through crowded aisles wedged
up with heads, the hustle and stir and
hush to look at him as, with a matter
of fact, busiDesslike push, he elbowed
his way through them and up the pulpit
stairs. -

Lord Lytton when viceroy of India
was seated one day at dinner next to O
lady whose name was Birch, and who,
though very good looking, was not over.
intelligent. Said she to his excellency
Are You acquainted with any of the
Birches?"
"Oh. yes, - replied Lord Lytton, al
knew several of them most intimately
while at Eton-indeed more intimately
than l cared TO. -
MY lord. - replied the lady, "you
forget the Birches are relatives of
mine. -
And they cut me, " said the viceroy,
"but, and he smiled his wonted smile,
II have never felt more inclined to kiss
the rod than do now. F."
Sad to say, Mrs Birch did not see
the point and told her husband his ex-
cellency had insulted her.-Exchange
