Anecdote of Sr. Lyman Beechef .'
When in the early years of his life, ,
Dr. Beecher was living in Litchfield,
he passed a Sunday in New Haven.
He dressed in homely simplicity,' and
was diffident in conversation, so that
it was no easy matter to judge of his
quality. ' Dr. Strong was then settled
over a Congregational church in that
city ; and professional usage required
that he thould entertain Beecher at
his house and invite him into his pul
pit. He looked distrusting! upon
the plain country pastor, and lament
ed the , terrible necessity. But there
was no alternative, but through a vio
lation of courtesy. ... .'. i
Beecher set meekly in the pulpit
through the morning and afternoon,
but was not asked to take any part in
the services. . , .
In the evening, Strong intimated to
him very coldly, that if he chose to do
so, he could preach for him, and was
shocked by his acquiescence.
" A man who will accept an invita
tion, tendered in such a way as this,''
thought Strong, "cannot preach a ser
mon fit for any congregation to listen
to I" He was mistaken, however, for
Beecher had barely less pride than
genius, and he felt keenly the cold
ness of the great man, as Strong was
then considered.
The evening came on ; the church
was brilliantly lighted, and thronged
with the beauty, fashion and intelli
gence of that home of gentleness and
learning. Strong had offered the eve
ning prayer, and was sitting irt stern
lll-numor, wuue ine cnoir was sing
ing the hymn to precede the sermon.
Beecher became restless, and his face
flushed with a sudden excitement.
He turned to Strong, and inquired in
a low hurried voice, if the sermon
could be a few minutes deferredhe
had left his manuscript in his chamber.
" No," said the Doctor, with exul
tant but ill-natured sharpness and
grasped a bible fo select a fexf , for
himself, glad that an accident was to
relieve him and his congregation from
the mortifying infliction he had dread
ed. ' ;
Ho was too fast. Beecher had been
stung to the heart by his manner, and
recognizing the words of the last lines
of the hymn, sprang to the desk, and
before Strong had recovered from his
astonishment, had announced his text
for an extemporaneous discourse.
" It is the will of God," thought the
vexed and humble pastor, and he pre
pared himself to listen with christian
resignation.
For a few moments the young
preacher spoke with a slight hesita
tion, as if, while giving his introduc
tion, he was revolving in his mind an
extended argument. Soon his voice
runs clear and loud, his sentences be
came compact and earnest, and his
manner caught the glowing fervor of
his thought. All was hushed by his
impassioned tones; the great assembly
was still as death ; and leaning for
ward, with blended wonder and admir
ation, the pastor, felt stealing over him
from the hushed air, the rebuke of his
Master for his harsh judgnrent and
cold treatment of his young brother.
In after life, he used to relate the sto
ry, and confess that he had never heard
such eloquence as that of the home
spun young Beecher. Phil, JV. Amer

i Crime ts Alleghany Coo.NTf.
During the session of the Grand jury,
just closed in Alleghany county, Pa.,'
three hundred and sixty-six indict
ments were found, and one hundred 1
and thirty ignored. Two hundred
and twelve tippling-houses were in-1
dieted.' The dispatch 'says: "The
Grand Jury complain, that of fifty-five
ward and township constables," but
twelve had complied with the law,
and made returns of the tippling
houses In theif respective districts, and
the twelve referred to are chiefly those
of the two cities. They say 'From
the' examination of so large an amount
of Crime, the jury have naturally been
induced, to investigate the cause, and
find from accurate memorandum kept,
that all the cases of murder; and
three-fourths of those for assault and
battery and larceny, were committed
under the influence of intoxicating
liquors.' Where, then, are we to find
a remedy for so great an evil? The
Grand jury desire that whatever influ
ence their united testimony may have,
it be expressed in favor of the procure
ment of the passage of some constitu
tional law by our Legislature that will
prohibit the entire manufacture and
sale of all intoxicating liquors, except
lor manufacturing purposes. ,
The friends of Temperance of the
British Provinces in North America,
are determined not to be behind their
brethren of the United States, in effec
tually outlawing the liquor traffic.
A convention was held the last week
in October, in the City of St. Johns,
N. B., in which all the counties were
fully represented but three. The best
spirit prevailed, and they were united
in sentiment in favor of the Maine
Law, undiluted. The last Provincial
Parliament passed a law somewhat
similar to the law of, Maine, and the
friends of temperance are determined
that it shall not be repealed, but
amended and made more stringent.
Pennsylvania. -Some Taverners
in Western Pennsylvania have already
expressed a willingness to see ! the
Maine Law become the law bf this
State. And it is believed that many, i
who have been engaged in the unholy
and demoralizing business at distilling,
vending, or transporting " liquid fire,"
in this land of Wm. Penn, have been
waiting in great expectancy for the
passage and application of something
like the Maine Law. It Beemed hard
to give up the business and standalone,
but to have all treated alike, and to
be backed up by the strong arm of the
" higher Maine Law," would render
it comparatively easy to renounce th
traffic, give up the wrong involved V
rumselling, and henceforth pursue
vocation which shall neither curse the
community, or call, for. the wrath
heaven. , Henceforth, let verdicts
" Died for want of the Maine Law?
become " beautifully',' fewer. Let the

set, until like ft belt of glory it has

claiming, " How would you look with

An Excellent Law. The board
of Supervisors of Wayne County,
NeWi Vork at their recent session,
enacted a local statute, with a provis
ion for, the preservation of game and
trout. Our New Hampshire friends
would do well to take pattern by this.

idly depopulated of their finny inhabi

White Mountains is thus in danger of

act a law for the preservation1 of the
people of the State. Why can't they
be protected, as well as the game and

Of all the numerous medicines extant, (and some
e f them valuable) for the cure of pulmonary com
plaints, nothing bat Aver been found which could
compas in its effects with this Preparation. Others
cure sometimes, but at all timet, and in all diseases
of the lungs and throat where medicine can give re
lief, this will e R. It Is pfeataat to take, and per
fectly safe In accordance vrth Uie directions. We
do not advertise fur tlie information of tbote who
have tried it, but those who have not. Families
that have known its value will not be without it, and
by its timely use, they are secure from the dangerous -consequences
of Coughs and Colds which neglected,
ripen into fatal consumption.
The Diploma of the Massachusetts Insti

the Board of Judges in September, 1847 :

receiving benefit from a change of climate and
diet, My diarrhea eeaaed, but was followed by
a severe cough and much soreness. I finally
started fur home, but received ne benefit from tbe
voyage. My cough continued to grow worse, and
when I arrived in New York, I was at once
marked by my acquaintance aa a victim of con
Sumption. I must confess that 1 saw mi sufficient
reason to doubt what my friend all believed. At
this time I commenced taking your truly invaluable
medicine with little expectation of deriving any
benefit from its use.. Yoa would not receive ineae

to the use of your CHERRY PECTORAL.

by the providence of God, I will take tbe liberty
to express to you my gratitude.
A Cough and the alarming symptoms of Con

tiling like hope, when my phtsician brought me a
bottle of your " Pectoral." It seemed to afford
immediate relief, and now In a lew weeks' time
has restored me to sound health" '

you are certainly one of the benefactors of mankind.-
