1 Near the close of bis sermon in Ply
mouth Church, Brooklyn, last Sunday,
Henry Ward Beecuer said:
I hold in my hand what is known as
THB CaMBRIDOK CONVERglOV,
and is the platform of faith of the New
England Conitregational ehurches. It
wai the faith of our fatherc; it 'waithe
confession of faith which wag accepted
in Boston ten yeari azo. - Mr. Beecher
read several clauses ol this confession.
Tim first ended with the sentence, " By
the decree of God and for the manifesta
tion of His elory some men and some
angels are predestinated to everlasting
rain and some are foreordained to ever
lasting death." "Thatis rather rough,
is it not?" asked Mr. Beecher. The sec
ond had this concluding sentence:
" These an&els and men thus predes
tinated and foreordained are fixed to an
unchangeable destiny; their number is
certain and denned, and cannot Do in
creased ! or .diminished. I bat is
what you k may,' call I rather' a tight
fit,'' said Mr. Beecher. ILaugh
terl The next article read was that
rolntinir to the decrees of Uod. in
this regard being in accordance with the
unsearchable counsel of God, in which
Ua ikiii .hnm Ha will, and Basses bv
those whom He passes by, ana ordains
them to dishonor lor tneir sins or to ma
praise- and glory. Now, what is there in
bla hut what, if It were said of an abso
lute monarchy, and that of the worst
type, would not arouse the su pre meat in
dignation. If I were to be left to choose
between absolute infidelity and atheism,
and the acceptance of a Uod who has
preordained and predestined an innum
erable host of His creatures to torments,
to pains, and to eternal death for His
glory, why rather than accept such an
infernal Deity I would be an atheist, and
I would glory therein. Suppressed ap
plause. Mr. Beecbor quoted a clause
from a sermon that he said his ears had
heard delivered from, that Plymouth
pulpit, in which Dr. Binney had said
that there were those iiuing before him
who in the eternal ages would suffer
more of ,
THE TORMENTS OK THE DaMKED
than had been suffered by those who
were already suffering, and thii torture
would (O o from that period, the wail
increasing and increasing, the horrors
intensifying and intensifying. '. There
was set before the people such a paraly
sis of despair by that peachcrthat it was
positively sickening. Is it to a Being
like this wa are to say "Our Father?'
Why, if tbre was one soul that was pre
destined to such a hopeless Inheritance
of woe, I would gay "Our fiend," and
not "Our Father." is Uiif the God who
gent His Son into the world, by whom
men are to be saved? Is this the God
who l represented in the parable of the
prodical as not waiting for this son to
come to Him, but who goes forth to meet
hitn, ani who falls upon his neck and
kisses him? My Cod j. not a butcher;
He is my Savior; Ho u not de;.'0'irer,
but an eternal shepherd. To teach
ojherwiEe would be to turn this world
into yest penitentiary. Let us see
how this tbcuiy ij as we see it in human

- Lacy Ann' Little Temptation.
From Hearth and Home. , .
Lucy Ann was the little girl. Jane
Maria was the doll, Lucy Ann said to
Jane' Maria, one day, " Wow,1 you ve
gone and got the mumps, and 1 m go
ing to doctor you np right smart; or
you'll be having ear ache or something
all the winter; and like as not yon will
be down sick when the winter comes,
and I shall just have to stay at home
aud take care of you."
Lucy Ann went into the kitchen to
make a poultice (poultices were the thing
for the mumps she thought), and Jane
was left alone." " " i
Only the cat listened to poor Dolly's
doleful words. " Oh! it's dreadful to be
a doll," she said. " I am all twisted up.
Lucy Ann tells folks the rhemauties did
it; but 1 know 'twas herself pulling me
so, and twitching me when she gets mad.
Wish I could get mad too, sometimes;
but I guess I wouldn't tell folks a story'
about it. Oh ! it's awful to be a doll,
and have a new head put on; and I
know I've got to, if she puts that thing
on; for it s just going to stick fast and
pull all the red off my face, I know it
"Dear me! how loud you do purr!"
said Lucy Ann to the cat, going into her
room and taking up Jane Marie in, her
arm. Kittie followed them into the
kitchen. , . , '
l' Now, there s no use in your making
one bit of fuss, for you've got to take it.
Castor-oil is always good for babies, if
they're sick or anything," said Lucy!
Ann, .when the bread and milk poultice
was bound on Dolly's cheek, and the
cat licking the milk from the dish. The
spoon wits full, A knock at the kitchen
door startled Lucy Ann, - The spoon
shook, and down spread the oil over
Dolly, Lucy Ann s dress, and the cat s
lur.
"I thought 'twas mother come home,"
said the child, springing up to hide her
" doctoring:" from sight. 1 ' !
' " No! it's just me, said Sarah Burns
and I come to see if your mother s got
any castor oil. Mrs. isrown s baby has
been taken sick, sudden, and they can't
wait to send to the doctor. -
, "Yes, here it is," said Lucy Ann;
" rieht here.
Sarah Burns took the bottle'and run
with it to Mrs. Brown.
' " Isn't it lucky for me," thought Lucy
Ann, "that she came; for what would
mother say to all this! And now she'll
think I spilled it out, getting the bottle
for Mrs. Brown." After a while the
darkness began to gather in the tall ever
greens by the kitchen-windows, and Lucy
Ann began to teel very unhappy, bhe
had burned np the poultice, put away
the dish in which it had been made, and
hidden Jane Maria, so that no one should
ask any questions about the cheek that
bad no paint on u. the evidence was
out of sight, but the little actor did not
feel one bit better. '
At last her mother came home. As
soon as the lamps were lighted she saw
the oil on the child s dress.
" Lucy Ann, what is that on your new
dress r she asked.
"It is castor oil, mamma.
"How come it there?"' i. .: i
Lucy Ann hung down her head, and it
as still in the room for a minute. Then
the little girl looked up, and a twitching
about her lips disappeared with the
words: ' ,r.l
" I smiled it I was playing give Jane
Maria some for the mumps.
rlaying with castor oil and in your
new dress!" exclaimed her mother, who
knew nothing of the temptation her lit
tle girl had resisted. "oa shall go to
bed for that without any light.
Lucy Ann went slowly up stairs. The
big round moon looked into her room,
and lit it up while she undressed. The
pat aA followed her. It iumned nnon
the bed and cnrled itself close beside the
little girl. j . .
"I dont care pussy if I am sent to
bed."' said Lucy Ann sobbing. "I told
the truth anyhow, and I'm real glad I
did. And won t mamma be glad, too,
when I tell her about it to-morrow?
Pussy didn't answer, but Lucy Ann
was comforted just the same.. . . , ,

HIGHEST PF.IIEI AT UTf
. THE POPE.
What II Hald to th Prince and
. Prlneaaa r Wales
' The recent audience of the Prince and
Princess of Wales with the rope was
granted at the desire of the Prince, who
sent his request through the usual chan
nel. The King of Italy offered the
Prince hit carriage for the visit, but the
Prince excused himself on the plea that
hit visit to Rome was purely incognito.
The reception by the Pope is described
at most cordial, and the bearing of the
royal couple deeply respectful. I he
Princess was attired very simply in dark
blue. . The Prince wore a black dress
coat and lavender gloves. The Pope
was attired in his usual long white robe,
with a small silken cap on the back of
his head. The Pope began the conver
sation by expressing the highest admira
tion for the public and private character
of the Queen of England, aid, with the
slightest tinge of satire, expresssed bis
acknowledgments to those English min
isters who more than once had in the
Queen's name offered him an asylum in
British territory. He said:
" I have not left Rome as soon , as
some of vour statesmen thought. In
my life I aranroUably a great deal more
happy than some who think they ought
to be more masters at Koine than my
self. I am not afraid of my dynasty.
Who has charge of my dynasty is God.
He has charge also of my inheritage
and my family. Do you know what they
are? Tho Church. I can speak with
out offense to the Prince of Wales about
the instability of royal houses. ' Yours
is safely insured in the affections-of a
wise people. I can respect the English
fieople because they are really more re
igious in heart and conduct than many
a people calling themselves Catholic.
When some day they return to the fold,
how gladly we shall welcome these er
ratio but not lost sheep. : ,
The Prince and Princess smiled, and
Blightly shook tbeir heads. Oh, my
children," resumed the Pope, " the fu
ture has always strange surprises in
store for the world. Who, two years
ago, would have imagined that we should
see a Prussian army in France? I ven
ture to say your wisest heads thought it
a thousand times more likely that the
Popo would be at Malta than the Empe
ror Napoleon in London. I am stripped
of my territories, but God, who tempo
rarily takes away dominion, can return
it a hundred fold.' I may b driven out
for a time, hut when your children and
your grand-children come to make visits
to Home, tuey win still see, as you ao
to-day, an old man, robed in white,
pointing the way to heaven to hundreds
of millions of human consciences."
Tho Pope relerred to Ireland, and
spoke in warm praise of the fidelity of
the Catholics of that country.
, . "You see, Prince, what persecution
does. , It does not make us worse Cath
olics. Your Royal mother is now pur
suing a different course from her prede
cessors toward that country, and she and
you will find that good Uathoitcs are
always loyal subjects." He added
" Ireland would require all the watchful
enerzv of her devoted prelates; for," said
he, ''the wolf, not of Protestantism, but
anarchy and inudelity, is abroad, l tear,
m the West.
The International was alluded to by
the Pope and the Princess, the latter
with great warmth. It was agreed that
no association tending to uproot religion
and the ties of family had any chance of
taking root in Ireland.
The audience was more protracted
than the Pontiff usually gives, isotb
sides seemed charmed with the inter
view. The Prince wag made to promise
another visit before leaving Kome.

It is an nndeniable fact that each year
these church anniversaries are more uni

getting more religious, far from it, but
religion is far more fashionable than it
was. Every day in the calendar has now
a signibeance that used only to crown

The musical services are only surpassed
by the Academy operas, in our different
churches. Ihe High-Church hoiscona-
lians have got so high that they outshine
the Catholics in candles and costumes,
and acolytes and other lights.
At one church in this city a somewhat
theatrical effect is produced by the altar
boys all marching out, down stairs and
under the entire building, singing
" Nearer my God to thee " (and farther
away from you), until their voices are
lost in the distance.

' thy tuecess pf the Suej Canal aqd of
the Mont Ceui Tunnel has brought for
ward numerous proposals for the- im
provement of the meant of crossing the
English Channel. One of these is to
construct a tunnel one hundred feet be
low the bed of tbe sea, in the clay that
underlies tbe chalk, and so avoid all the
trouble and accidents that might arise
from the eakaTe of sea-water into the
tune. pe psurnateu; expense pi mis
operation it forty millions of dollars.
MEMPHIS FAP-CCLO AND
The question of ventilation which is a
serious matter in such a scheme, it is
proposed to meet either by shafts of iron
rising at suitable intervals to a sufficient
bight above the level of the sea, or by
propelling the trains by atmospheric
pressure, and thus while introducing
fresh air avoid the formation of foul air
by the tires ol locomotives. Other pro
jects consist in laying tubes of iron or
masonry on the bed of the sea and ven
tilating these by shafts 'communicating
with the air. In one of these plant it is
proposed to use the shafts as light-houses.
A tube-like corridor or roadway floating
at a depth of forty feet below the level
of the sea, and kept in place by great
chains and anchors, has also been pro
posed. Floating bridges, with gigantic
draws, and bridges of eifJrmous spau,
with arches of sufficient bight to permit
the passage of ships in all weathers,
have also heen suggested. Last, and
perhaps the most practicable of all, is
the scheme of employing enormous ves
sels or flat-boats which may take a whole
train on board and deliver it safely oh
the opposite shore. - "

The Condition of the oath. '
Henry Ward Beecher in Christian talon.
It is needless here to trace the politi
cal history of reconstruction, or to ap
portion the blame for its mistakes. It
is enough to say that in point of fact the
State governments of the Sooth have
very largely fallen into the hands of ig
norant and knavish men. Public money
has been wasted and stolen by wholesale.
A proud nnd high-spirited populatoin
have seen their places of trust and honor
filled by foreign adventurers and unedu
cated freedmcn. The old political lead
ers in whom the people had confidence
and who alone had experience in the
conduct of affairs, have been excluded
by Congress. , The course of politics has
tended to deepen the autaaonism be
tween the former masters and the blacks,
and to still further alienate the former
from the national authority. This is a
gloomy picture. One feature remains
to be added. Into this weakened and
distracted community there has been no
infusion of new, healthy blood. It was
hoped that immigration would renovate
the South. But there has been no im
migration, or but little. The old ele
ments are left to work out their way un
assisted. Of the present duty of the
nation at large toward the South we
shall here say but a word. The best ser
vice that can be rendered to the South
ern people politically is to let them alone.
Disabilities should be swept away at a

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Atmospheric Diseases. The air, without
which no creature could live, U tho source of
diseases of which millions die. -At this sea
sea, especially, the atmosphere is full of the
germs of many kinds of sickness. Every
globule of the mist and fog which cloud the
earth and sky in spring holds in solution its
portion of miasmatic poison.
The evil effects of this aerial virus can only
be certainly averted by increasing the vital
activity of the system and securing the full
and free exercise of all it natural functions,
and hence it Is, that Hestetter's Btomach Bit
ters, the great nerve strengthener, regulator
and antidote to malaria, is imperatively re
quired in the spring month.
It is at this time, too, that Dyspepsia as
sumes it most distressing types, and that
persons of biliout habit usually suffer most.
There I an influence In the air which de
presses the spirits as well as the physical en
ergies, and in order to restore their elasticity
tonic treatment is absolutely neeessary.
All the world know that the wonderful
efficacy of Hostetter's Bitters in oases of indi
gestion, biliousness, nervous prostration and
malarious fever is due to the potency of its
tonio, alterative and aperient materials, and
the absolutely pur stimulant with which
they are incorporated.
It it because tho public have been taught by
twenty years' experience that the article can
be implicitly trusted inasmuch as it performs
uniformly and certainly all that it is adrer
tlsed to do that they prefer this sovereign
tonic to every other. Hence its Immense nnd
ever-inereasing tale, and hence, too, alas 1
the many counterfeits and imitations, against
which there is no safeguard eicept the close
scrutiny of the purchaser.
