Recalling how we Used to guard and love it ;
From its sweet dust fresh fancies may awakc
Till a new dream its genuine semblance take.
Though passionate tears fall fast as Simmer

“’here the dead Love lies in eternal sleep ;
Though life and joy may never wear again
The glory buried with it, dark and deep ;
Just for that dead thing’s uuforgozteu bliss.
A cha itened charm may sooth:- a watch like

“Old Hill.”
.._._.——
DEAF. (iA‘!!£‘l"IF. :—A‘:l hills are old, and
whether “Old Hill" is older than. its neigh-
boring hills is more than we can say. And if
it is, how was the fact found out? Those
wise men caller “geologists,” and who would
make us believe that one “forever" has
already passed since “God created the heav-
ens and the earth," have all come into exist—
ence since “Old Hill" was baptised. There
can be no doubt, however, but that it is old;
and though old it is not gray, but green and
fresh as if still in its youth.
We have alwayshad as great a veneration for
this same “Old 11.11,” which we are inclined
to think was born in us; and among the first
words that we tried to utter must have been
“Old Hill.” No matter how dull and sleepy
we were in our boyhood days, the very men-
tion was sufficient to wake us up, and there
was no place that we liked so much to visit;
and the reason no doubt was, because it was
a saintcd mother’s birthplacc,aud because we
were always sure of a warm welcome when—
ever we crossed the threshold of Stephen
Hauford’s home. This m'an whom we took
pride in calling “grandfather,” is now known
to but a few, even of those to whom the
name of the “Hill” is familiar. Forty—two
years ago he was gathered to his fathers at
the age of ninety, and the house in which he
lived and died, still stands and is in a good
state of preservation, though a hundred and
twenty—two years old.
_, But though he has been so long dead, his
l looks and his peculiarities are still fresh in
our memory. We are of the opinion that he
liked children; certain we are that he liked
to tease them. “Do you go to school?” he
would ask. “Yes sir.” “Do you write ?"
“No sir.” “Then you wring altogether do
you i" The old gentleman was very fond g
cats, perhaps more so than he was of chi -
dreu; We are inclined to think that he tend-
ed the latter in his old age more than he did
the last in his manhood. He would often
ask how many of the feline race we had at
at home, and when told, his reply would be,
“I think you have enough for a potpie.”
This was somewhat mortifying to us for we
thought it was a reflection on our livmg.
But the good grandmother would always
take our part, saying, “Do let the boy
alone.” Occasionally we were trusted to
ride a very ancient and probably a very lean
horse to“Old Hill,” and when about snu-
down we mounted him to return home, the
grandfather’s farewell words would be, “See
that the crows do not get him away from
ybu.” This so stirred up our shame that we
finally came to the conclusion that it was bet-
ter to visit “Old Hill" afoot than to hear the
old horse slaudcrcd. The grandfather had a
plenty of pride even in his old age, and a
poorhorse and a small one, were both alike
an abomination to him. His favorite and
only mode of riding was on horseback. He
despised horse blocks to the very last, as
'much as he did blockheads, and con.
sidered it ‘vcry undignificd to use such a help
in mounting his high steed. He must do
this from the ground, though with the great-
est difiiculty and the risk of a fall. He pri—
ded himself, as we well remember, on his
fine axe halves, and said that he “could make
the bedof any one in town when all the rest
were out.”
The old gentleman was a staunch whig
and in the. days of his second childhood
would oft .say, “General Jackson ought to
have'becn lung when he shot those seven
men to deat .” But the General died in his
bed and was more of a patriot, we presume,
than many thought him to he; certainly
more so than many of his worshippers who
belong to the rank and file of the spotless
democracy.
-This grandfather of ours belonged to that
most indispensable and worthy class that
cultivated the soil. He had a farm crowalug
“Old Hill," and it was well kept and cultiva-
ted, Staggering and dilapidated fences he
could not toleratc, and bushes and weeds re—
ceived no mercy’at his hands. ills garden
was kept scrupulously clean, and the
best of all that a garden should contain could
be found in it in its season. In the northwest
corner of his dooryard stood a famous pine
tree through whose branches we now can
hear the wind pour forth its deep, solemn
bass,like the sound .of the sea. This tree,
the turkeys were wont frequently to mount,
ascending from branch to branch to its very
top. We were told that they did this in
order to get a good view of Westport. This
tree was to them a tower of observation ;
and if the “village” looked as well then as it
does now, no wonder that the turkeys want-
edto see it. Sensible turkeys, surely. But
if these same turkeys were living now, a bet-
Ierpost of observation would be the top of
the Westport Bank, from thence they could
take in all the glory of the place. Turning
their'keen eyes eastward what a magnificent
sightwould greet them! From the famed
“Empire House,” up to where the ocean
steamer “James K. Polk” quietly rests at
low tide on her (his?) pebbly bed, what. an
array of magnificent buildings they would
lee! Stores and dwellings of brick, granite
and marble, of Doric, Grecian, Egyptian, and
Corinthian architecture, in beauty and rich-
ness surpassing anything to be 'found in the
new world, or the old, or in any world. Ah,
those turkeys were born too soon, or died too
soon for their own good! As for our-
selves glad are we that we were born in
Westport and on the east side of the
ri'veri where its glory culminates. All other
places'arc as nothing in comparison. And
we herewith take the liberty which our birth-
right give us to invite all nations and tribes
to come and take their stand, not on the roof
of the aforesaid Bank, but in front of it, and
then tell us whether at; .hbmc or abroad, in
Europe, Asia or Africa, or the islands of the
sea, they ever saw so much of beauty and
grandeur crowded into so small a compass.
But these turkeys of old died as turkeys usu-
ally do, and there being no further use for
tree that died also.
'But we return from our digression.
The family of Stephen Hauford was 1""76
old: children in all, five sons and five .. Jrh-
m, just enough to make a stirring and
cheerful household. Two of the sons were
educated at Yale. One, Enoch Hauford,
studied law with Roger M. Sherman, of
Fairfield, and then went to Chemw, South
Catalina, where he quickly gained distinction
in his profession, but died early with the,
yellow fever. The other studied medicine
with Dr. Richmond, of Westport,‘aud com—
menced practice in liliddletown, New York,
where after years of successful business, he
died, beloved and lamented by all that knew
him. Another 8011, the father of the sole oc-
cupant of the Hanford estate, passed away
when he had hardly crossed the threshold of
manhoodffinother was a farmer and lived
near the old homestead. He died in middle
life, and his four children, three sons and one
daughter, have all followed him. The re—
maining son sought his fortune in the West
and there he died full of years. Only two
of the daughters married; one, Hannah, was
the wife of William Richards, of WestpOrt,
and the other, Mary, was the wife of Zslmon
Barr, (f Greens Farms. The three remain-
ing linked their fortunes together, and ripe in
years and in quick succession went homc,and
side by side in “God’s Acre" they now sleep.

A New Departure in Common
SchOois.
Hartford Couraut.
Whether our elaborate school system is
worth what it costs, or is doing the work
expected of it, are questions more and more
discusud, We propose to—day to speak in
some detail of a “new departure" in the
schools of Quincy, Massachusetts, which has
attracted much attention among those intcr>
cstcd in this subject. The story is told by
Charles Francis Adams, Jr., in a recent ad—
drss. publis iu'an interesting pamphlet,
entitled "The ublic Library and the Common
Schools,” by Estes S: Lauriat, Boston. The
three addresses of the Pamphlet are so im-
portant that we trust they may come into the
hands of every school committee man and
teacher in the Slate.
Quincy is one of the twenty chief towns in
Massachusetts; it has as good schools as
any which cost the tax payers heavily, and
the cost was growing year by year. Fortu-
nately, it happened to get an intelligent
school committee, who had no political inter-
est to serve; audit was assured it continu-
ance- in oflice long enough to undertake the
investigations and reforms needed. The
committee found that the sflools were not
what they should be, and they began certain
experiments, the object of which was to se—
cure a thoroughly good common-schoool edu-
cation, at a not unreasonable cost; the two
points of excellence and economy were to be
subordinated to the other. The taxes were
already as great as could be borne.
The committee in their report of 1873 said
that there had been no change in the schools
in ten years; they were in a condition of im.
mobility; the children read and wrote and
spelled as well as ten years ago, and the fun-
damental rules of arithmetic were as well
taught. But the pupils in grammar could
not spell or speak the language very perfectly
nor read and write it well. The schools
seemed to have reached the natural term of
such force as our present school system can
exert.
This was a very mild statement of the con-
dition of schools which compared favorably
with any in the State, and which stood very
well the test of the formal examinations.
These examinations were a study for the
humorist. The scholars were in their best
clothes; the parents and friends filled the
hall; the examiners sat in dignified silence on
the platform; and the teachers conducted
the examinations over safe and familiar
ground to a triumphant conclusion in an un-
natural bit of childish declamation. Then
the committee were asked to make a few re—
marks, which were always commendatory.
The whole thing was a sham. The commit-
tee knew nothing more about the school than
they did before.
This was all changed in 1873. The ex-
amination was of a new character. A spe-
cial branch was assigned to each committee
man, and the schools were taken out of the
hands of the instructors. The result was
disastrous. The schools went to pieces. It
was found that A and B grammar scholars
could parse and construe sentences, point out
the various parts of speech, and give glibly
the rules of grammar applicable; but they
were unable to write correctly an ordinary
letter, or to form sentences or to follow any
rule of composition. As to reading thege—
sult was the same. The scholars could read
very well by rote the familiar pieces in the
Reader, but they broke down entirely on
anything they were not familiar with. After
eight years schooling, the children could nei-
ther write with facility nor read fluently. In
too many cases they could neither read nor
write at all.
The schools had fallen into a rut. The
means of education were set up for the end.
The object of the teacher was to drill the
pupils to pass an examination, they became
mere parrots. Certain motions were gone
through; real resultswere notsought. It
cram.
There was a great waste of public money;
not fifty cents out of each dollar was efiect.
ively spent. This waste could only be reme-
died in one way. The cost: of schools could
not be reduced, but the quality could be im-
proved. The committee could not see to this
themselves, but they succeeded in getting a
superintendent of schools appointed who
would work with them and who had ideas of
his own. They were fortunate in securing a
young man who had taken up the subject
with the enthusiasm of a specialist, and had
carefully studied methods in Germany. To
secure the services of a higher grade of
teachers was not possible on account of the
cost, but the town could afford to hire one
extra man who could infuse his spirit into the
others.
The experiment began in the primaries.
The old “dame school” disappeared. The
alphabet was no longer taught. Instead of
the old listless school marm pressing into
he minds of listless children the significance
of certain hieroglyphics, there were“ young
women full of energy surrounded at the
blackboard by groups of little ones learning
to read almost without. knowing it; learning
to read as they had learned to walk and to
speak, by practice. The instruction was
varied with games and plays, and the result
was that school ceased to be a drudgery, and
the children went to it with pleasure.
The plan after four years trial is no longer
an experiment; its success is questioned by
none, least of all by teachers and parents.
In the primaries the change is complete. In
the higher grades the reformers found this
system a protest against the whole system in
vogue from the grammar school to the uni—
versity. That is against the tendency to mul-
tiply studies, which leads directly to super-
ficiality, and makes'smattcr the order of the
day. The new Quincy system sets its face
against this. It reduced the number of stud-
ies. It brought education to first principles:
not much was to be attempted, but that was
to be thoroughly done. Instead of seven
studies, Only three were permitted,,rcading,
writing and arithmetic. Reading and wri-
ting were taught by incessant practice, hook
and pencil in hand, and instruction in read-
ing, writing, grammar, spelling, and in a con.
siderable degree geography and history were
combined in two exercises—reading and wri.
ting. The old Reader having disappeared,
the teachers used, for practice, geographies,
histories or magazine articles, and having
first read them the scholars might write them
afterwards to show that they understood them
Their attention was secured,the pen was con-
stantlyin hand, they wrote as readily as they
spoke, and spelling came by practice.
The result in‘ the progress of the scholars
has been more than the most sanguine ex—
pected. , And as Mr. Adams says, the theory
which has succeeded is “a complete nega—
tion of the whole present common school
system, founded on afaith in tlIE infinite
capacity of children to know at an early age
a little of everyth'u." The committee had
saidiu 1873 that ‘ studies pursutxl in our
common schools course should be so pursued
that they may result in something of direct
uscin the ordinary lives of New Euglahd
men and women.” The faculty of writing
an ordinary business letter, correctly spelled
and properly expressed, is ‘of everyday utili-
ty. This ability has been acquired in the
Quincy schools, after the grammar was
thrown overboard,with the other routine text
books. -
We cannot go into details, it is sufficient
to say that the improvement in the Quincy
schools has been enormous. The schools are

was, in a word, all .smatter, veneer-lug and'
interesting-the pupils learn? the things they
set out to learn, they can read fluently and
comprehend what they read, andica'uiwrlte
with facility. ' ‘
The strongest part of this story, however,
is thefact—iu which the tax pupils of Hart-
ford may be interested, if they “I?!“ in the
improvement of our machine catholic—that
the cost has been reduced. In 1875 the an-
nual cost per child was $19.25. In 1878
(after three years of the experiment) it was
315.68. While the quality of instruction was
immeasurably improved, its, cost has been
reduced one-fifth.
lndlan Views of Immortality.
The physical ability of the red man is
coupled with'the assumption of his untamed
ferocity. He is called a savage, while the
record shows that the Narragansetts of New.
England, the Dclawares of New York, the
Pawnees and Winnebagos of the northwest,
have faithfully kept their faith and have
The,
popular impression holds fast ground that
the Indian has neither religion, morals nor
honor. In spite of the fact that modern g
treatits have been shunts, and that Sitting
Bull was simply emphatic when he said to
General Terry 'that he would make peace
“when he saw a white man who did not
lie," there are some facts of a different na—
ture which dignify the Indian and teach the
Christian white man a lesson. These facts
go farther than this, and instruct skeptics
that their notions, professedly scientific
would be despised by the Indians of the
northwest, Ingersoll’s dogmas would be con-
sidered foolishness, and a sensible Indian
would cry out, “Wiskea ”—“Out of my
path ;" “I despise you."
Afew leading thoughts as to the reigious
views of the Sioux, PaWnuees, Arrappahoes
and Northern Cheyeuncs, will illustrate the
ider now presented. It is strange that the
commissioners who have interposed in be-
half of the Indians have sought to teach
them the Christian faith without seeking to
find out what they held as a spiritual faith.-
Interviews with chiefs of all these bands
bring to light some startling facts as to their
views upon some quite orthodox questions.
Three are noted: fiprofanity ,2, future re-
ward ; 3, future punishment.
The Indian holds that the profauatiou of
the Great Spirit (God) is vile. An old Indi-
an called upon the writer of this article and,
pointing to a child only five years old, said:
“Pappoose wiskeat anteus” (puppoose . curse
father); pappoose wiskest :autrara”~(pap—
poose curse mother). Wheuremonstrated
with, he answered: “Great Spirit gives us
white chief this pappoose.” “Not so bad for
psppoosc to curse white chief as for white
chief to curse the Great Spirit.”
Thus while the Indian may borrow ex-
pletives from the white man, he has not tol-
ereuce of the idea of using in vain thehholy
name of the Great Spirit. This is a lesson
from the Indian to the white man,
As to a future state, his views are best re-
flected from a simple statement of facts.
The battlefield after the Phil. Kearney
massacre was a horrible scene. Three offi—
cers and seventy-eight men were brought
into the fort for burial. The mutilation was
never before, never since equaled. On one
rock was a half skull, cut through at the
mouth, cleared of brains and filled with eye-
balls, toe and finger joints. The calves of
the leg, the muscles of the thigh, breast,
arm and back were taken out, so that if
the victim had mental consciousness he
could not move his body. Earnest inquiry
of some Cheyenne chiefs developed this
explanation of this mutilation. The expla—
nation was the more impressive because the
victims had not been killed by rifle or- pistol
balls, but had been slowly tortured to death
after their ammunition was spent. Every
body was stripped, every body was full of
arrows, more than a hundred were taken
from three bodies, and many fiafts had to
be cut off before the dead men could be loud-
ed iu wagons, when their remains were res!
cued.
This seemed horrible; but the philosophy
of Indian torture brings to light a strange
indorsemcut of the pervasive ideas which
mankind entertain as to eternal rewards and
punishments. _ .
What is the Indian heaven i’. It is a happy
hunting ground where every physical taste
or lodging is promptly or fully satisfied. If
he wants food, it is ready for his hand.
Horses, game and all luxuries abound.
Blossoms and fruit grow upon the same tree,
at the same time. All is perennial and per-
petual. What is the Indiau's hell? It is the
same place and profussou of luxury, but
the bad cannot partake. Like Dives, who
beheld Lazarus in Abraham's bosom, he sees,
craves and pants for relief, but he cannot
grasp. .
It‘is in the light of these facts that the
tortures referred tozhave significance. With
the muscles of the arm cut out, the victim
could not pull a bow string; a trigger, or
throw a spear; with the muscles of the leg
and back out out, the victim could not
stoop for water or put a foot in the stirrup
with hunger and thirst wrought up to
agony, with water at his feet and meat
ready cooked, within reach, he cannot reach
it. .
A grander idea still grows out of this In-
dian philsosophy, and that is this, that as a
man ends his life so he begins a how life-
aud that in proportion as he is crippled here,
so he will be feeble for the future.
Thus it is that bad habits. physical or men-'
tal eufeeblemeut lesseg the fitness for enjoy?
meat of the happy hunting grounds.
This much of Indian religlion is suggest-
ive to the average Christian, and demon-
strates, so far as itzzgoes, the great law of
accountability and responsibility, which
no dogma of the infidel and no affectation
8: science, falsely so-called, can long com—
Herocs in Journalism.
Memphis presents a fresh example of the
faithfulness of the journalist. The city is
literally dead, there is positively nothing in
the way of business,yct the papers appear as
regularly as ever, and it has, of course, never
occurred to the editors to suspend publica-
tion, and, like the merchants of the place,
close their est iblishments. Certainly they
go on at aloss, for all the sources of their
profit are shut. The newspaper is ever the
last to succumb. If its office burn down it is
out next morning with “a full account of the
coufiagratiou.” The fires which destroyed
Chicago and Boston only scorched the news-
papers though their buildings were laid low.
The war record of the Memphis Avalanche
cannot be forgottou—how it carried its pres-
ses from point to point as the Union armies
advanced, and printed its edition everywhere
and anywhere, but always somewhere. The
religion of the journalist is his trade. To
him it is a sin to fly frOm his desk at the ap-
pcarauce of danger. Like the general at the
head of his army, he would be forever dis-
graced in his own eyes if the enemy, coming
in what shape it might. did not find him in
command. The income of the Memphis
editor stops, but his expenses do not. He
fights for others and pays for the privilege.
He urges courage. He is so little frightened
by Yellow Jack that he takes him by the
buttouhole and laughs with him. He tells
his afiiictcdfcllow citizens never to lose hope
He sifts out the truth from the wild stories
flying about, and kills despairby showing
how things could be a great deal worse than
they are. He points gleefully to the future,
and declares that Memphis must and ‘ will
recover her old time prosperity-v Imagine,
if you can. Memphis in this hour of its sore
trial without its press. Think of the ravages
of the dread visitor, unrecorded, with only
the alarmed people to tell one another who
still lived; with the whole world silent, with
no word of encouragement to reach the pair
lic ear. ~

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a. Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best; Safes now
made.
1st. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT Worm”
consists in placing the bolts and locks on.the
inside of the door (as shown in the out show?
where they are at all times acces‘sible, on
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you"
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the looks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves, breaking them open.
2d. Our "PATENT HINGED CAP" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
«hinges, and fastened by a. thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL Looxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED msmn,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, prev
v'ents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have Turin
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion refidyas was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we ,owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a. complete list of our Safes exposed,those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal-
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they wouldonly assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that. Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
-added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we flow
manufacture a. Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to. accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. . Send for descriptive catalogue.

She Wasn’t Married.
. 'Thc New York Sun relates the fol—
lowing about one of the young ladies of
“Rice’s Surprise Party,” The lady in
question went into a Brooklyn (N. Y.) tele-
graph office, and wrote a messag! to her
mother, wholivcs in New York city. The
message written was: “Have received no
letter; am worried.” The next night she
went into the office and demanded to see
the operator who had sent the dispatch. She
had received a letter from her mother filled
with reproachcs for having married without
her consent, and threats to disown her. The
operator confessed that he had read the last
word in the dispatch “married,” and had
accordingly sent that information to the
“Well since you
took the liberty to marry me by telegraph,
please unmarry me in the. same way quick as
possible; I don’t like that kind of matri-
mony,” said the young woman. The opera—
tor accordingly wired the information to the
mother that her daughter was “worried” not
‘ ‘married. ”

Don’t use Tobacco.
I would have no dealings with tobacco,
in any form,‘ if I were a. boy again. My
friend Pipes tells me hc,is such a martyr
to cigar—boxes that this life is a burden.
The habit of smoking has become such a
tyrant over him that he carries a. tobacco
bowsprit at his damp, discolored lips every
hour of the day, and he begs me to warn
all the boys of my acquaintance, and say
to them emphatically, “Don’t learn .. to
smoke 1” He tells me, sadly, that his head
is sometimes in such a dizzy whirl, and his
brain so foul, from long habits of smoking,
which he can not break off,that he is compell-
ed to forego much that is pleasant in &istenee
and-live a tobacco-tortured life from year to
year. Poor Pipes! he is a and warning to
young fellows who are just learning to use
the dirty and unhealthy weed—James T
Fields.

“I’ve known you for a long time.”
“Yes, Jamie.”
“And—I’ve thought I’d always like to be
with you, Jennie.”
“Y—c—s—J» a—m—i—c. ”
“So—that——when—”
“Yes—Jamic—Yes.”
“We’re dead we can lay our bones to—

The fool had gone and bought a. lot in a

She knew her man well—after fourteen years
she ought to—and s‘o shc said gently:
“Jamie." _
“ch, Jennie.” _
“Don’t you think ’twould be better to lay '
oufiboues together while we’re yet plivc ?”
ow tell me all my fate, Jennie,—
‘Why need I plaincr speak ?
For you see my foolish heart has bled
It’s secret in my cheek.
You must not leave me thus, J enuicé
You will not, when you know,
it is my life you’re treading on
At every step you go.
Ah, should you smile as now, Jennie, -
When the wintry weather blows,
The daisy, waking out of sleep,
Would come up through the snows.
You need not try to speak, Jenny,
You blush and tremble so,
But kiss me, darling, if it’s yes, .
And kiss me if it’s no. —A lice Cary.

Tremont Temple was a theatre converted
intoa church. ‘Its object was to save the
city from immoralitics of the stage. Dr.
Lyman Beecher preached a sermon of praise
to God for its rescue the day it was deliv-
ered out of the hands of the wicked, and
probably such a hallelujah of triumph was
never sent up in Boston as that which the
Christian people who heard him added their
amen. Not many years later Kalloch was
settled over the society. The wretch made

but seemed actually to exalt in hypocrisy,
and would go to its orgie after having
stirred the hearts of his followers against the
especial sins he was about to commit. I
went over, moved by curiosity to see what
the man was made of, to hear him preach
the Sunday after his trial in the criminal
court. I found him representing himself as '
one martyred for Jesus‘s sake. He conclud-
ed his exercises that day by reading the
hymn ‘Rock of Ages cleft for me,’ in the
most horrible spirit of blasphemy I ever-
witnessed. Such is the man'just shot in
San Francisco. The jury failed to agree
when he was tried here, not that any of
them doubted his guilt, but because part of
them feared injury to the church, and an-
other part had sympathy with 'his family.
There were people who had confidence in
him to the last. Nothing can exceed the
credulity of the ”followers of a popular,
preacher.” _
