All right A Paisfiliil SocBK! ;i:jd ii 'roaeSaiaag CoMScssioii, In the Maroa (Ill.) News, of the 25th of Suptember ie an account of the resig-nation of Elder J. V. JJeekmim as pastor of a church in that village. For some time pfist the reverend gentleman’s habits Have been such as to cause gretit grief to his friends and bring re- ])roach ujjoii the church. At tlie close of the sermon, wliicii u'as preaclied by a neighboring pas tor, Elder Beckman made the fol lowing address, which vve give as a warning to ail men, both young and old, to avoid tlie sin and ■shame which have come upon this luau ; As a mjiu I have tlie highest conception as to what tlie life and character of a niinister of tiio gospel .should bo. 1 know that be should lead a consistent and an upright life that can be looked 10 by tlie cornruiiiiity as an exani- jiie of purity ami righteousness. Jiuowing tJiat my life has not becii 'such ill alb respects, I desire lirtender to this chui'cii, for wliich I'have laboreil so long, my rcsig- nsiiciii. ■' :lA oii-hrediware tliat I refer to my aim of intempsa-kiiCe, This it..5y.

E.iaigti it ail to mj own di-pravi- ty. .i.'id-siiPul nature. To voii Who ■ Ifijvo ■ not tliis iinbil it is strange that 1'.should thus yield ■ u temptation. 1 well remember xlie tirao'trlicn I thouo-lit.it strange iinii Olliers drank and ruined tliems'clves with alcohol. I am ghwl'-that lhare are so, many yoiiiig men .iiere this'nioraing that Tanay lilt my vofeo in warning and heg’them to profit by my ex ample. You (iiiuk now tliatyouare sirong and in no danger. I well jemem'ber the time when I be- liosed tiie same. Twelve vears ago, when 1 reached forth my iu- experieiicod hand and took the in toxicating cup, I thought I was stpoiig'; but J developed a habit that now holds me in cliains, and in tlie'most awful slavery that liumanity was ever subjected to. it holds me in its embrace tvhen I seek my bed for rejiose ; it dis turbs my dreams during the ti'ea- ry hours of night, and seizing me as its prey wdieii 1 rise up in the iiioniing to enter upon the duties of the day. Profit, oh ! profit by luy exam ple. See w'hat it has done for me. There was a time when I stood as fair as any minister of the church in Illinois ; there was a time ivlieu I had as bright pros pects and as cheering hopes for the future as any of my class mates. But now they are all gone because of intemperance. O ! that I could bring the wdiole world to hear iiiy voice. Young ladies, you can do much to re move this curse from the world by not countenancing its use among your companions. Brethren, I sever iny c.muec- tion u'itii you as yoiii' pastor with a sad heart. It would be sad un der the most favorable circum stances, but much more so as it is. Blit I shall remain with you in the church and labor in the com munity for a livelihood; I -will come to your social meeting's and work with you in tlie iSuudav school, and will do all I can to atono for the great sin I have comipitted. Crod knows that I do not "wish to injure His cause. Pra)'forine that I may yet overcome this be setting sin. I ti-ust that I shall be able to conquer. Bat should I go down uiidei- tiie withering iufiueiico, I ask that you remem ber me kindly. lyheiiei'er you m^ot me, and under what circum stances, remember there was a time when t'oii were proud of me. Bui ti-oat mo as you may, act to wards mo a.s )’Oii clioose, 1 beg that you will remember my wife kindly. l)o not give her jiaiu and Here is another mistake a groundless assumption, built upon tlie fallacious idea that human nature is dittbreiit, and better in woman than in iiiaii. Iii a tom- peraiice lecture delivered in this })Iaoo last winter, tlie noted speak er made a long argument on tliis line ; very fine if las premises had been correct. But they were wrong, consequently I'lis whole argument was good for outliiiig. llis favorite phrase, oft repeated, —as you that heard liim will ro- niember—was “man is material, woman is moral.” If he had said, there is a constitutional diifereiice between the sexes, the one excell .iiig ill mechauioal skill and logical power the other in emotional sus ceptibilities and intuitive judg ment, it would bo correct enough. But wheu any one aasuiiio.-j a dis tinction between the sexes, as to their moral nature, ho is ti-avers- ing ground of wliicli he is igno rant, and taking issue with Uod. But the fallacy of that proruiso is shown in this fact. It requires- sorroiv because of my wrong-J sonietliiiig mare than a plurality doing. Poor woman, she has aJ wax's sulfered eiiougli, I married lier a sxveet and iiiuoceut girl. She has been a patient and faith ful wife. Again 1 ask that you will kindly remeiiiber my wife and children. 'I'saE This disease has reached Wil- niiiigtoii, and all the public sta bles there are afflicted with it. Ihc Journal says the prospect seems to be that the disese will liave an exteiisiv'e run, but will not be so serious as at its former i vi.-iu.t 0-1. Oapt. Southerland, of tliat cily, gave that qiaper the fol lowing iiiloriiiation in regard to tlie disease and its treatment: “I'lie horses should be kept dry and carefully tended, and the aiilictiuii will ju’obably pass avvav m a low- dax-s. It is a regular epidemic wiiich he has been seen a great manx' times. It depends altogether on rhe condition of tlia urinospliGi'e, and cold, damp will caime an increase of the disease, and poi-haps cause the victims to liil early graves. Horses xvliicli are much e.xposed and hiu-d work ed, as those used ui di'ay,s, ai'C more liable to disease than aiix’ others, as the exposure de'velops it,”—liale.igh News.

And the fact proves the fal lacy of the princijile. That which is iiccessarx- to carrx' out aii^- re form is sti-oug public seiitimcut. It is not votes tliat make public sentiment, esjieciallx- in regard to moral questions, but public sen timent that makes votes, and this is made by the prevalence of ti uth in the qiopular mind, mak ing sti’ong moral coavuctioiis.”— N. Y-Observer. 1>K A good xx'oman said to herlius- band, “Wh}- do j'ou tlialk to youi-- self so much V’ “Because, my dear,” he replied, “I like to talk to a man of sense,” It is good also to hear a man of sense talk to liimself or to the [lublic, and xx-e have been edified by- reading a sermon, preaclied in tlie Presbyterian church in Albia, loxva, by the pastor. Rev. J. M. Batclielder, on the subject of modern reform ideas', in xxdiicli, near the beginning, he sax's: .“Don’t you knoiv, don’t exmry one xxdio acce2its the authority of the Bible knoiv, that tlie evils xxdiicli afflict society have a deeqi- er root than merely a xvrong so cial organization I And if so, it is vain to think they can be er adicated, by simply renrgaiiiziiig or reconstructing the social fabric. No a mount of reforming or recon structing, or legislating, can fully correct the xvrongs of sociotx’. For evil is ingrained in human nature. You cannot legislate it out.—you cannot educate it out— you cannot reconstruct it out. “Another false promise is that giving women the right to X’ote XYOuld necessarily secure a ma jority of votes oil the right side. In Centj-al Asia the arauso- ment of dying kites 'seems to be jiopulai-. A corretspqndeiit writes, this playing- is made' to yield a double gratification. It delights the ear by an emission of soft, molodiouB mm-mm-ings at the same time that it 2)leases the eye xvitli its bii'd-like motions. Each kite is so coa-sU'-ucted as to produce the eilect ol a floating AUoliaii hari), and thus the flight a,id the song- of birds arc both imitated. Each kite is a square stretched u},i- on tvx'o diagonals of light wood, ivhose extremities ai'o connected tight stiiiig, fermiiig the sides of the squares. Ox-er the xvholo pa2ici' is 2iasted. A loose string U2)0ti the upright diagonals receives the stj-ing by xvliicli the kite is to be held, and a tail is fastened to the lower part. The trax'erse diagonal or cross-stick is then bent back liJto a strong boxx", and fastened by a thread of cat gut. Of course every breeze that 2iasses the kite x-ibrates this tight coi'd, and the vibrations are com municated to the highly sonorous frame of the kite. If a number ot these Ixites are left floating in the air at night the effect is of terial music, motoiious, but full of melancholy interest. FOX AMD ©EAPIilS.
