Kneeling beside her 'mid ‘neeling throng
In the dim twilight of the maple, where ~
. ., The Euter~buds,-scent-laden,filled,the air
With sweet sroma, 7!“. the solemn song,
Low'chanteddioated through the holy place,
I watched the'curtains of her melting eyes
Veil their soft radiance,and o'er that fair
face
Stole reverent stillness, as with gentle sighs
_ Sins from her ainles's lips were all confessed.
(Ah. forest saint, were all sins but as thine!)
’ Then liftingl‘lier' white forehead from its
pillowed rest, _
Turning. her iad, sweet visage, pure with
- .A't'hdught divine,
She murmured, bending toward me as I sat,
“Charles, Mrs. Smith yet wears her winter

Florence, the Actor.
A relative of the well-kn'bwn comedian,
William J .1 Florence, tells, the following :
Many yesrs ago, while Florence was under
an engagement at the Winter Garden Thea-
tre, New York, he formed the acquaintance
of a young girl who played in minorparts in
the dramas then represented. One day,
after rehearsal, he invited her to dinner at a
Broadway restaurant. Both were hungry,
and they ordered a plentiful supply of food.
When their appetites were satisfied, Florence
called for the' bill, and to his utter 'dismay
discovered .that he had no money. In
changing his clothing in the morning, be
neglected to take the money from his discard-
ed pantahons. He told the girl of the fix he
was in, and asked her for a loan. Mortified
and chagrined, she answered that all she had
was just sufficient to pay her fare home.
The the actor called the restaurant keeper
and told him the truth about the money.
The quickly excited man raved and stormed
at Florence, saying that he had resolved not
to be swindled by any one, and that he should
send for the polica -
At this time a short, 'stout old gentleman
stepped up to the proprietor and firmly
said : ~ ,
, “How dare you speak to a gentleman in
the way you have done ? His mistake is a
perfectly natural one, and such as might
occur to any man. I am ashamed of you!
I’ll dine no more in your house nor permit
my friends to do so in the future. Here,
take this i" and the‘ old gentleman tack a
fifty-dollar note from a fat wallet and handed
it to y discomfitedlandlord,saying,“Deduct
the amount of the young man’s bill and return
me the change.”
The proprietor's apologies were unhecded.
He handed the old gentleman $47.60, and
again essayed apologies.
When in the street Florence handed his
benefactor his professional card and address,
adding that he should certainly reimburse
him. The old gentleman’s indignation quick-
ly passed away, and beginning to smile he
added :
“That's all right, young man; I’ve been
tryingio pass that counterfeit- bank note all
day.” -
The trial of Rev. Martin Hoerlein, :1 Lu-
theran clergyman of Holland N. Y., was
commenced Thursday, on a. charge of setting
'fire to his house on July 7th, 1876.
“Do try and talk a little common sense i"
exclaimed a sarcastic young lady to a visitor.
“Oh l’_’ was the reply ; “but wouldn't tint
be taking an unfair advantage of you i”

The merchant's face grew long and blue ;
His dreams were troubled all the night,
\Vith sheriff’s bailiffs all in sight,
At length his wife unto him said,
“‘Rise up at Once. Get out of bed ;'
And get your paper, ink and pen,
And say these words unto all men :
My goods I wish to sell to you,
And to your wives and daughters too ;
My prices are so very low
That you will buy before you go." _

And in the paper advertised;

A CHEERFUL FnsxcnimN——P01.ITI('.iL———-
BEECHEI:~—-LO'I‘TERIES.
New Yonx, April 2, 1877
A minimum. rnsxcmux.
A Frenchman named Pellcticr, who sent
his wife to New York a month or two ago to
take care of herself, came over after-her three
weeks ago. Mons Pelletier joined her, and
found her living in comfort, sllc having estab—
lished a very fair connection as a seamstress.
But the gentleman fancied that she had not
been as faithful to him, since her" arrival in
New York, as he could wish, and some gos-
sips in the neighborhood added fuel to his
jealous flame, and he proceeded to ariangc
matters in a decided French way, He bound
her on a sofa in her room, and heated a poker
to a white heat, with the purpose of branding "
her, but he changed his mind. He procured
a quantity of sulphuric acid, and smeared one
side of her face, burning it in such a manner
that she is disfigured for life. The wo—
man screamed but. there was no one to hear
her, and the fiend completed his work. When
he had finished he remarked to her that he
had marked her so that she would never have
any more lovers, and walked away and has
”not yet been found. The woman was very
pretty, and those who know her best say that
she was exceptionally honest and true to the
beast who so} cruelly marked her. Mons
Pelletier ought to be tried by a jury of wo-
men.
POLITICAL.
'The bourbon democracy are making a tre-
mendous effort to stem the popular tide, and
keep up the feeling that has unfortunately
existed for fifteen years. The support that is
being given to the policy of the President, by
the southern dcmocracymlarms the bourbons.
What they are afraid of is that the South
will rally to the support of Hayes to an ex-
tent that will give the Republicans the con-
trol of the House, and make the nucleus of a
white Republican party in the South. When
this happens down goes the democracy, for if
Hayes can divide them in the South, on
something besides the color line, thereis an
end of the trouble. I predict that it will be
done. The South has been made the tool of
the northern democracy, and may properly
charge all their woes to its malign influence.
The New York democrat has been howling
to the southern democrat for years to “stand
firm.” butwhcncvcr it came to a struggle, the
South has received “moral support” only,
and very little of that. The South has had
hard work to do, and the sacrifices to make,
while northern democrats stood ready to
scoop the profits if any should accrue. It is
beginning to get through the wool of the
more enlightened men of the South, that it
would be better to ally themselves to a party
which has some power at the North, and thus
get something in the way of material aid.
They wtlnt railroads, levees, and all sorts of
help, which they will never get so long as
they fight the only party that has any power.
Lamar, Hill, and a score of other sensible
men in the South are ready to make an alli-
ance with the Republican party, which will
give that country peace. President Hayes is
working to that end, and he will bring it
about. The negro will have his rights assur-
ed, the color line will be wiped out, the re-
sults of the war will be acknowledged, and
the whole country united,and reallyiri accord
will go on to prosperity again. This is what
President Hayes is trying to do, and that is
what the democracy of the north. and the
lower orders of the south,‘ are trying to pre-
vent. They can survive anything but peace.
BEECHER. '
The name of the great divine of Brooklyn
has not been in the newspapers much lately,
for the memory of his troubles is fading out
gradually. Whether guilty or not, Mr.
Beecher has recovered his partially lost stand-
ing.‘ His church is crowded regularly, as of
yore, and his recent lecture tour was the
grandest ovation ever given a man. ' Every
where his balls were crowded, people coming
hundreds of miles to see him. He stands as
well as ever lle’did, in the popular estimation,
though the loss of friends worries hii‘n im-
mensely. .Tilton is lecturing in California,
with no remarkable success. Mrs. Tilton is
keeping boarders with her mother, and is
very poor; Bessie Turner is entirely forgot-
ten and is, no one knows where; Frank
Monllon has gone back to his old business,
suit trade, to rc-build his fortunes which were
terribly impaired by his standing by his
friend, and Carpenter is painting pictures.
The great scandal is (lead, and is never
thought of except when divines like Dr. Bud-
dington refuse to affiliate with Mr. Beecher,
as he did last week. Beecher is older than
he was, and has .changed for the worse. His
hair is whiter, and there is a. worried, anxious
look in his face, which shows that the trials
of the last five years have told on him. Bilt
the indomitable spirit of the man keeps him
up, and he will. doubtless live longer than
many of his opponents who were younger.
People differ as to his goodness—no one
doubts his greatness. His sermons have the
old flavor, though he sees that they are taken
with many grains of allowance by his ,liéar-
ers'. The scandal hurt him, if it did not de-
stroy him. And by the way, who was there
in it that it did not hurt. -
LOTTEBIES.
Tile raids that are being made by the police
under the direction of Mr. Anthony Com-
stock, on the lottery shops, is developing
some very curious things. One thing is made
very plain, that there is not. and never was,
an honest drawing of any regular lottery in
the country. The books of one concern show"
that the practice was to send money in small
amounts to such men as, from the tone of
their letters, they considered the .
best advertising mediums with which to rope
others id. For instance, to a man from
Smithboro who had bought tickets twice, and
expended iii the concern $20. they W011”
write that he had drawn a prize of $50,:and
send it to him in good money. Infiamcd at
hisgood fortiinc,'aiici crazy to get one of the
big prizes, the poor dupe would send back a
hundred which, as there never was any draw-
ing would be $70 clear profit. And besides
there was the direct advantage of his com-
municating the fact,of his showing the money
to all his fricnds,and acting the most effective
Every
lars and schemes of all kinds of lotteries,
located everywhere, which they were sending
out miscellaneously, and gathering in money
from all sources. He" has demonstrated that
there is, nor can there be, anything honest in
it, and that every one, no matter how advcr-
tiscd, is a fraud, and a fraud of the worst
kind. The simpletons who send their money.
take the chance of having their names known,
for their names and post office addresses are
all registered, for use in other ways. Conse-
quently when the police capture the books,
they capture also a complete list .of the
concern’s victims; Keep out of the lotteries.
