At present the powers et Lap canal's council are ajaaerally expressed In lis charter, as the " authority te make, ordain, constitute and establish such and se many laws, ordinances and regulations a they ekaU deem necessary te promote and pre aarve the peace, geed order, health, benefit, and convenient government of the said city, subject te the approval of the mayor as here inafter provided; and te annex penalties net exeeedlng one hundred dollars for the breach thereof, and the same te enforce, put In naa uid arfvtitlnn bv Iha DrODar offleers, and at their pleasure said laws, ordinances Md regulations te repeal, alter and make Mew, as oecaslon may require; preyweu, that the same shall net be -"oeMtsutatwlth the Constitution and laws et the United States or of this commonwealth." But by the new law It la P"P KJ councils authority, besides many ether things, "te levy and eeUect taxes for general reve nue purposes, net toexeeed ten mills ea the dollar In any one year, en alt iitren$, real, personal and mixed property within the fimitaeraaid cut. taxable aoeordlna te the laws of the ktate of Pennsylvania for stats and oeunty purposes, the valuation of auch property te be taken Irem the assessed valua tion of the property therein, made nnder the previsions of law regulating the same. Te provide for the assessment and collec tion et taxes, In addition te the above, net ex ceeding one per centum en the dollar upon the assessed valuation In any one year, en all persons, real and personal property, and all ether matters and things within said city taxable for state and county purposes, for the payment of interest en bended Indebtedness, and ter the payment of leans te support the government and make the necessary Im provements In said city.

It wul be seen that the present authority of Lancaster councils te levy a total city tax of ene and a half per cent is extended te two per cent ; tne power is createa 01 levying a poll or personal tax ; and of taxing every kind of mercantile pursuit for city purposes. E.NLAnOEME.NT OP COUX'CILMAJUO AU- THORITV. The following powers, also conferred anew upon councils, seem te be a serious enlarge ment of their preaent authority : " Te purchase, by and with the consent el a majority of the qualified electors obtained at an election held therefer, at a time and place te be fixed by councils, lands and prem ises for public parks, and te levy and collect such special taxes aa ahall be necessary te pay for the same. Te have the exclusive right at all times te supply the city with gas or ether light, and such persons, partnerships and corpora tions therein as msy desire the same, at such prices as may be agreed upon ; anil also te have at all times the unreslrieted right te make, erect andmajAltain the necessary h""'""Ti rsWMfTniT and apparatus for man Jst'OlutinttaDd dlstributinc the same, or te make contracts with, and authorize any per son, company or association se te de, and te give auch person, company or association the ' privilege of supplying gas or ether light as aforesaid for any length of time net exceed ing ten years. "ie nave tne cxciusice rignt at ail times te supply the city with water, and aucb per sons, partnerships and corporations therein aa may desire the same, at such prices aa may be agreed upon, and for that purpose te have at all times the unrestricted right te make, erect and maintain all proper works, ma chinery, buildings, cisterns, reservoirs, pipes and conduits for the raising, reception, con veyance and distribution of water, or te make contracts with, ii authorize any per son, company or association se te de, and te give such person, company or association the pruileye of furnithing water as afore said for any length of tune net exceeding ten years. ' Te enter upon the land or lands, let or lets of any person or persons within the city, at all reasonable hours, by their duly ap pointed city engineer, in order te set out the foundations and regulate the walls te be built between party and party, as te the breadth and thickness thereof, which founda tion shall be laid equally upon the lands of the persons between whom such party wall is te be made, and the first builder shall be reimbursed one molety of the charge of auch party wall, or for se much tbereerasthe next builder ahall have occasion te make use of, before such next builder shall or may use or break into said wall." Dees thlsflfant mean that the councils of a city shall bae power te give a private com pany the " exclusive " right ter ten years te supply its " persons, partnerships and cor porations " with water or light; and te fasten for that time en them a monopoly, Irem which there shall be no relief for a decade f It would require most careful legal exam ination of the lerty-seven sections of Article VI and, in all probability, Judicial con struction of msny et the sections and clauses would be needed te determine what powers are te be conferred upon the Lancaster coun cils in addition te these they new possess in the event of this bill's passage. The sections quoted will serve te illustrate hew decided are the changes. On the ether hand, subsequent sections of the bill seem te contract and restrict the powers of councils ; te utterly destroy local aelf government, and te regulate by state law many details et administration heretofore regulated by ordinance and adjusted te the local conditions of each city. THE KXECUTIYE DEPAHTMENT. Art VIII., Relating te the executive de partment makes the term of the mayoralty in Lancaster four years instead et two. It rendera the Incumber ineligible te reelec tion. It gives him authority, In addition te msny ether powers, "upon occasions of threatened public disorder te require and en force the closing up of bars, or any establish, menta in which liquors are aeld during the continuance thereof." It requires him te send his annual message te councils in Jan uary instead et June. Instead of the police force being made up In half part et the con stables elect of the several wards, as the law new prescribes for Lancaster, councils shall have power te fix by ordinance the number, rank and compensation of the members of the city police force, and prescribe all neces sary rules and regulations for the organiza tion and government thereof, in accordance wun mis act, ana it snau ee a misdemeanor in oxHcefer any policeman te ask, demand or receive any ether compensation or reward whatsoever for his official services, te be al lotted by dtsnmssal from efflct. The mayor shall nominate, and by ana with the advice and consent of the select council appoint the said policemen, and may suspend or dismiss any or all of tnem for Incempetency, Inabil ity or misconduct, and in like manner ahall nil all vacancies." i The new law requires two-third of the members elected In each branch te override the mayor's veto ; the executive . power te veto any item et an appropriation bill ; In delault of bis signature or veto an ordinance becomes efiective after fiftam days. " Policemen shall be ex officio constables. Ward constables shall be elected for three years, instead of one, aa at preaent The city treasurer Is te be elected by the people for two years. The city controller, a new officer here, is te be elected by the peo ple every two years. He shall be the gen eral fiscal officer and auditor of the city, with all the powers new exercised In Lancaster by the finance committee ei councils, and with about the same Judicial power aa la exercised by the controller In Philadelphia, The city solicitor ahall be elected bv a inint convention el councils every two years. The Beard of Health previsions are net ea aantlally different Irem the preaent system In vogue here, except that Its member are appointed by the mayor by district for five yaara, I Instead of by the court at large for one year.

The fiscal year shall run from January te January, Instead of from June te June, as new. The assessments are te tie made before April 1 ; the city tax collected between May 1 and August 1. SOME nAMCAt, CIIAMIKS. The most sweeping and radical changes In the existing erder of things In Lancaster would be made by the 13th, lSth, lGth and 17th sections el the bill. They provide en tirely new methods for governing the public schools, for managing the water and lighting department, for making and paying for sewerage, and for assessing street damages and benefit It Is te these sections et the bill especially that attention aheuld be drawn, and upon them that public discussion should be con centrated at the meeting en Tuesday evening. The 13th article substitutes ler the present Lancastrian system a school beard or 3(3 members, evenly divided between the two parties, one-third retrlng every year, and chosen at large from the city a beard of two members from each ward, te be chosen en tirely by the demluant party of the ward, te serve four years, one-half retiring e ery two years ; the secretary, If compensated, must net ee cnesen irem tee boqech oearu mem bership, the city treasurer te be treasurer et the scnoel beard and the city controller te control Its accounts. It Is moreover made a requirement of the school beard te levy and collect a special tax of net Itn than one miff, and net exceeding three mills upon the as sessed vslue el the taxable property of each of said cities, which shall be paid into the school treasury, and shall be applied toward the extinguishment of school bends and funded debt in the order of priority of the date et its Issue, and te no ether purpose whatever. This would be a very material Innovation upon the present practice of our local school beard, and would necessarily hetchten the tax here, which has net exceeded three mills altogether for many years, and which finds no present occasion for levying any such special sinking fund tax. In fact, the incor poration of the school article Inte this inter municipal bill is found odious te the school interests of nearly every city in the common wealth; and even should the bill In ether respects be made acceptable, this article and all the sections depsndent upon it would likely be stricken out WATER AND Lid (IT. The article creating a water and lighting department provMes for a districting et the city into lour sections, from each one of which there shall be chosen, by Joint conven tion of city councils, a commissioner; te be elected en the plan of minority representa tion ; te serve for four years ; two retiring Lggery two years ; these commissioners, who arauine wi.uuu. pa, nre iu uavu uaure charge of the water and lighting department ; te select the superintendents, mechanics, em pleyes and clerks; and, besides the power new exercised by councils of electing the water superintendent the commissioners are te be invested with these prerogative that here have long pertained te the water and lamp committees. It is also prescribed by this new law- that all the expenses of extending water facilities and et laying new mains or pipes shall be paid by a special frontage tax en the proper ties along which they pass. This is a raa leal departure from the present and past system In Lancaster, where all the existing mains have been paid for by general taxation. SEWERAUE AND aTRKETb. Art XVI relates te sewerage, which It puts under direction of the city engineer ; it gives councils considerable discretion in prescrib ing by erdlnauce what portions of the cost estimated en the proportionate expenses and advantage ei local and of main sewerage should be paid by the particular properties benefitted, and what ought te be assessed upon the lands within au entire sewer dis trict Art XVII prescribes a new method et as sesslng the damages and benefits, and of pay ing the expenses et opening and laying out new street's or wiueuing anu exienaing ex istlng thoroughfare-. At present Lancaster has an elaborate Bpeclal act for this purpose, and a standing commission createa by the court assesses tnese damages ; all that portion of them being ter land taken is new paid by the county, and out of the city treasury only the price of buildings destroyed. Under the new law- three freeholders of thecity, viewers appointed by the court would fix the dam ages and assess tbe benefits, subject te appeal; and the law seems te be open te the construc tion that all the damages would hertafter have te be paid out of the city treasury. NEW S1VTEM OK ASS1 S-.MEMN. Under the new law the present system of ward anseseers elected annually would be abolished ; and iu their stead the following la substituted : "The qualified electors of each of said cities or tne third, fourth and tilth classes, shall, at the municipal election, elect three persons, residents of the city for at least five years previous te their election, qualified electors thereof, and owners of real estate therein, as a beard of city assessors te serve ter three years irem the first Monday of April auceeeding their election. Ne two of the said assessors shall be residents or the same ward, and at the first election held un der this act ene of the said assessors shall be elected ler one year, one for two years, and one ter three years, and thereafter one asses asses eer shall be elected annually for the term of three years. The member of the beard serv ing in the last year et bis term shall be presi dent thereof during such year. The terms of all assessors for city purposes new in office in any of said cltiea shall cease and determine upon the election and qualification of the first beard of assessors chosen under thla act" Any vacancy happening in the beard shall be filled by councils. Tne beard shall, e ery third year, have authority te appoint assist ant assessors, net exceeding one from each ward, te serve net exceeding sixty days, re movable at the pleasure et the beard. The per diem compensation of the members et the beard and of the assistant assessors shall bs fixed by ordinance of councils. Prevision is made for a triennial assessment of all city yreperty, which la te be " tull market value, ust and equal " ; with power te modify the same in the intervening years, as changes of condition or ownership may require or jus Delinquent taxes are te be collected by collectors appointed by the city treasurer. Elaborate prevision Is made for entering, enforcing, reviving and collecting every son of liens ler city taxes, frontage assessments, Councils are empowered te establish sys tems et land registry, topographical surveys, redemption of Indebtedness and ether fea tures of municipal administration ; and while these are net made mandatory the forma et them are set forth with much detail. Upen the whole, therefore, It will be Keen that this act substitutes In large measure for many of the existing ordinances and forms of procedure, te which our city Is accustomed, new and different methods and regulations. It proposes te establish by legislative direc tion a uniform system for nearly all the cities et the commonwealth ; te prescribe for Lan caster many features which its councils have refused te accept, and for which Its people have never asked ; and It Is certainly meet and proper the citlzena and tax payers of Lan caster aheuld assemble, te discuss and te listen te the exposition or a measure which will affect them se largely in their municipal affair ; and which, if once passed, la fastened upon them almost Irrevocably ; for no special legislation te relieve them iu any part will be possible under the constitution. BOVMM BILL, MO. 10. Anottesr Flaa rer te Oevsnunsat of Lanesitsr and Other Cities of iu Glut. The bill Introduced Inte the Beuse of Rep resentatives, by Mr. Hhaw, which passed second reading en Wednesday, but which doe net aeem te have attracted the aameatten aameatten tlen nor te be aa infiuentialty pressed aa the Senate bill, relates only te cities or the fourth class, including Lancaster. It define the powers of councils in something like the terms of the ether bill; under IU prevision elect oeuncllmen are te be chosen ler three yeara; common oeuncllmen, two from each ward, for two years ; councils must meet the first Monday of each month ; the mayerallty term is made four yeara and the executive Ineligible te re-election.

The same general previsions as In the ether bill, reviewed before, are made te appl te sewerage and street Improve, ments. XUriS AHOVT TMM JTBtlllONa. rulntsThat e.erI.ea Their InUrest ter the fair . The Philadelphia Ledger says: The first need for spring wear Is what Is called the bo be tween season (tfemi-aa.'en) suit l.tther tbe soft light-colored checks or striped goods or the eeir colored tweeds are used ter this cos tume. A favorite style of making this suit Is te have the evcrsktrt arranged in tine fiat plaits taken bias and fastened en the left side of the belt This eversktrt Is very long te al low of Its reaching the tower part or the skirt where It turns up and iermsashell trimming en the back or the hip. All the back and a small part el the ten side fall In large straight plaits. A ery tight fitting J.ieket opens ever a waist front. It is rounded en the lower part The Jacket Is In part et plain velvet or of silk, matching the premlneut color of the check. The bat for wear w Ith this suit Is In turban shape. It is either of felt, with a vel vet brim, or of the suit material. The rev Ival of the turban is a feature In spring millinery. The suitable trimmings are pompous, and a bow of Scotch plaid ribbon, with one side plain and the ether fancy. Suits composed of plaids or narrow stripes rer the underskirt and plnin material lu the same shade rer the drapery, will be even mere worn than last year. Terra cotta and fawn color, with wide plaids in the tame tone, mingled with a dead teat shade, will be united for walking suits. Tight-fitting lackets showing etl the long spiral waist te best advantage, will be worn with these suits. Showy suitings et ctmel's hair checked, or rather cress barred, rer the white appears te be thrown out en the surface, are in china blues ana wnite, red ami w hue, lavonaer anu black or white, two shades of gray, gray and black. Dark green and gray are extremely stylish combinations, seeu either In cashmere ei tne two colors put legeiner or in me com bination woven Eoeds. Hrewn and gray, pink and gray, or two Bhades el steel chosen Ier aftornoen wear. Pretty stone and brown costumes are made up together, the contrast ing color making the mere outline by means of watered silk as trimming. On the bodice, a single diagonal rev ers across the front of the waist Is of the silk, and culls are buttoned up en the outside el the arm. The woolen skirt hangs In straight folds at the back, and has a row of buttons en either side of the straight panel of the watered silk at the right The left forms a winged drapery, w hlch leaves space for additional ornamentation by slash ings of the silk if desired. An elegant style ter spring wear consists el a soft long-haired, cloth skirt In pale pink, chamois or dove's gray, embroidered te a depth of a quarter el a yard at the bottom or the skirt tn front, and showing a repetition of the embroidery In a straight band up the Irent of the basque and upon the high cellar and culls. Thedrapery is long, and arranged se that it falls fiat iu a series of graceful, graduated folds upon one side. The work upon these costumes la done by hand, In beads and chenille In browns and greens upon tawns and cool stone-colored cloths. With some of these are seen en imported gowns the very new waistcoats and cuffs with high cellar, of the creamy white Inside (the wreni; aide) of kid or degskin. Turn a new glove Inside out and you have the pre cise c fleet. This Is in much better taste (and scarcely mere perishable) than the attempted Introduction of kid and leather, with the finished side uppermost for waistcoats and cuffs. Something tee hard, tee much like harness or the saddle, prevented this kid trimming irem becoming really fashionable The ether side of it, however, is charmingly dainty and refined. belt white lelt or ivory tinted turbans, oval or beat shaped, are brought out te wear with these lovely cloth costumes, trimmed with an aigrette matching the color or the dress and held in place by silver pins. Pins, in fact take the place of stitches in millinery, and have long done se, the di.rerence being that mere of them show, and they are made orna mental en purpose te show. Black costumes, worn expressly ler Lent, are lightened a little with silver, fust a touch el it here and there, as a bonnet pin and clasps ter the wrap, or a buckle that lifts the draperies et the dress. Black faille francane is very fashionable ier l.snien gowns anu ier spring costume purposes. Ills trimmed with silver or Jetted passementerie. Dark blue camel's hair serge, trimmed with the new cream-white silk gimps in Venetian araueuque aeeiirns, msaes astynsn ana ue coming dress for the seashore resort at this time et year. Anether favorite is dark helio trope or golden-brown Irish poplin, which has the revers, panels, waistcoat, cellar and cuffs trimmed with Hit silk cera in bands and applique ornaments, in a still darker shade of brown or heliotrope.

There is something very beautiful tn the faith of childhood. It was the morning of the last day or the carnival when a seven-year-old boy In a Ht Antheny Hill family was singing around the house In an unusually happy spirit " What make my boy ae bright te-day T" inquired hla mother. - Ob, lt'a 'csusej 1 asked Ged two weeks age te make alster Mary well and net te let me have the measles till the carnival waa ever. This Is the last day et the carnival, and 1 guess Ged 'membered what I aald te Him." Praysr afastlDg at llem, rreui tbs Bosten Journal.

Wit v aheuld net the nation mourn when a man like Henry Ward needier dlea aa much aa when one or It great autramen or great soldiers passes away T Why aheuld net the whole world de him honor? Loek t mi at It only from the political stand point, what general during the late war by any battle or campaign, by anything at all he may have done, wen a greater victory for the union, one that was worth mero te our cause, than the moral victory lleechsr galued for ua when he went te Kngland te meet, battle with, and ei, ercein e the almost universally adverse and even Melently Inimical publle opinion there, that seemed en the point of giving Kngland as a virtual ally te the Seuth T I knew of no mere wonderful example In all history of heroic courage, and the triumph el reason and conscience ever prejudice and passion, than that presented by Uenry Ward needier when alone be steed up before a hissing, yelllng,tnultltudetn Manchester, and forced these thousands of enemies first te silence, then te attention, then te sympathy, and finally tuade them burst out Inte cheera for the stars and stripes and the cause tiiey represented. And what lie did there was only an epitome or the moral battles he fought and victories be weu In a dozen Eng lish cities, until this one man, this mighty man, had conquered the stubborn opinion and gained the whole heart or all Kngland for the Union, it Is safe te say that the men of our country who would have dared te at tempt what he dared were few and far be tween. It Is as sare te say that Henry Ward needier was the only mau In America who could have accomplished what he did. Ad us, what Amerlcan statesman evor did mere than be te rid our ceuutry et the curse cf slavery 7 Fer It must ne or be forgotten that Henry Ward Beecher was one et that original little band of abolitionists whose many years or selt-denylng and persistent labefa, ham mering away at a perverted public opinion and conscience, alone made it possible for Abraham I.luceln te Issue his K mancipatien Declaration. And of that little band none did luore Important service than he whnee recent death we mourn. Mrs. .Stewo with her " Uncle Tem's Cabin" reached and In fluenced the largest number. Harrison with his newspaper stirred up te action, elten te frenzy, a smaller number, and uialuly of such only as already sympAthirnd with the cause or abolition. But Beecher, together with Theodere Parker, reached aud luilueuced by far the weightiest and most Important class. They appealed net only te the sentimentalists of the land, nor stirred up te white heat the luke warm lrlends et the cau-e, but they worked upon the reason and conscience of the thinking portion of the country, convinced the public intellect, converted the public brain. And of the two, Beecher with the most tar-reaching effect His service in this mstter, it seems te me, has never received the recognition it deserved ; that Is, net trem the masses, the lew who are at all acquainted with the Inner history of the abolition move ment always knew and confessed that Beecher as much as any one man made eman cipation possible si the time when it waa de clared. Is there any ethor man of our country of whom as much tan be said 7 Is there any one te whom the country ewes mere than te blm 7 lr ever a national monument was de served, the memory of Heury Ward Beecher deserves one. But great as were his services In the two directions referred te, I consider them only a a very small part of the geed he has done In our land, and for the human race. Who did mere than he tn emancipate the American pulpit from the still and cold formalism et by gene days 7 Who did mere te humanize our preaching, I will net say popularize, for that word has been tee much abused by re ligious quacks te convey my meaning? Who taught preachers as he did hew te mix heart with brains, and brains with heart iu a ser mon 7 Who brought mere sound, practical common sense Inte religion, and mere of the true spirit et religion into our American common sense, than he? But, they say, his theology waa net "sound." Well, I am net enough of a theo logian te paas Judgment en any man's theol ogy. If his religion Is all right that's about all I ask or can understand, unless he sets himself up for a professional theologian, which I don't think Beecher ever did. And I happen te knew that In some respects his religion was a geed deal better than that of a numbsret preachers whose "sound theology" is their strong point He may net have been able te understand all mysteries and all knowledge," as men like Jeseph Cook and Talmage can, but he did bsve a beautiful supply of that charity about which Paul wrete te the Corinthians, which "seeketb net her own," ' hepeUi all things," and by the deptb and breadth or Its love Is " the ful filling of the law," and "the bend et poriect periect ness.'' Let me tell you hew I knew thla. Net only by the fact that Mr. Beecher in bis life showed htmseir capable or acting out the bread principle et Christ that " whosoever is net against us is ier us," and ever refused te call down fire en any one because he " fol fel fol leweth net ua" while casting out devils in the name et Christ nor cartd whether or net such an one were of Cephas oref Apelles, of Luther or of the Pepe, or the XXXIX Articles or ei tne Westminster Conlesslen ; but also by a little circumstance that came nnder my lmmeditte observation only a tew yeara age. A young pastor et an humble church in Philadelphia had conceived the ambitious plan or getting up a grand course of lectures, something like Pugb's famous Star Course, in the Academy of Music, the proceeds te go te the cause of foreign mis slens of his denomination. Filled with the ides, he wrote te about a dozen of the most celebrated lecturers in the country, telling them his plan, and asking them for their lowest terms. Among them were such "sound" theologians as Drs. Jehn Halt Philips Brooks, and if I remember rightly, Kichard bterrs, besides ether men like Jehn B. Oeugh and several mere equally famous. He also wrote te Mr. Beecher, though, know ing tbst he could at any time get five hun dred dollars an evening in Philadelphia, hs hsd hardly any hope et even an answer from hint What was hla amazement, then, when the very first reply that he received waa from the great Brooklyn heretic"; and it waa a letter tull of the noblest, tenderest truest Christian love and fellowship, net only offer ing te lecture free of any charge, but also giving much valuable counsel as te hew te make the scheme s success. He also alter a while heard from the various "sound" breth ren, a few lines from each, ail uniformly re fusing his request I He realized aa never be fore what Paul meant by writing about " the tongues of men and of angelaV becoming "as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal," when divorced from charity. He understood bow a man's religion msy be better than hla the ology. He felt deeply that charity la the greatest el virtues, and the possessor el It the rosiest el men. The theology of a Hall and iroeka may have been the mere orthodox, but that pastor at least felt that tha charity of Beecher wss the mere Chrlatlike. But, It Is said, he had bad stains upon hla reputation. Yea, but net upon his character, net one has ever been proved. On this point let me quote the words of one who probably knew Mr. Beecher longer and mera Intimately than any ether man living. Dr. Lyman Abbett He wrote In last week'a Christian Union these words, among ethers as noble and true, coming from the tender and loving heart of an affectionate friend : Tha charges of duplicity and falsehood which a foul conspiracy brought against him some yeara age were te all who knew him aa Intellectually absurd as they were morally monstrous. Be had net the necessary capac ity te act a pert" He continues en this subject ss follews: "Great naturae have great faults. But Mr. Beecher's were only laulta ; flaws en tha sur face, net vices thst corrupted the heart. Hla heart was alwaya true, pure, faithful. The soul's true nature is aeen in great crises, auch as areuss all Its powers whether for geed or evil, and enkindle all its motives whether generous or base. Then tbs faults which ava aprnng from carelessness, and tha sim ulated virtues which geed nature Md appre beuveneae have ter tha hour assumed, are flung off, ud tha real man appears. la all greet eriass Mr. ateeeher appeared bbbmi true te himself, te hla eoBVletloas, te Ged, andtohlsfeilew-sasB. It was thla loyalty el his te Ged aad Ged'e truth tbataaadatheas that kaew him ae loyal te hiss, la htm they aaw mera tbM Mr. Busker t they aaw oea Md Ottwhrmab sM mZL k Judgment had Played him false they belle-, ed bis loyally was true. Independent himself, he taught his pupils Independence. They never tollewed him ae closely aa when they refused te fellow him at all ; love never bound them and hint together with bends mere Indissoluble tlian when they radically dlttered. The controversies of loving anil loyal hearts de but weld them mera closely together. Ued'sbeat gift te his children Is a great and geed man ; for in every great and geed man faith sees, though In a lass, darklv. tha freat and geed Hed, Hed lie thanked for lenry YA ant Beecher I Death cannot wholly take him from these that loved him. Hla name remains a blessed memory and a sacred Inspiration." Or Mr. Beechet's sermons and preaching Dr. Abbett says, and his words are ae tem perate and Just that 1 cannot forbear quoting them In full : 11 He waa always mere than hla sermons ; hla life waa mere eloquent than hla speech. He was, Indeed, meat eloquent when he must railed te say what he wished te say ; when he struggled te give utterance te the expe riences which were tinutterablc, te allerd te ethers a glimpse of the visions wMeh had been revealed te himself. He was net logi cal ; the sear never la He waa a revelator. What he bad seen In the closet he disclosed In the pulpit His power Isy net In his phy slcal dignity, his akilUul but Insrtlflclal elo cution, bis often marred but elten matchless use et language, his commingled sublimity and humor, his plcteilil linsglnatlen,hls phil osophic perception el great principles crystal lizing all details, his bread human sympa thies, his lightning-like rapidity of mental action ; these were all but Instruments et a power greater than either, greater than all combined ttie power of a great and a godly personality, a noble and adlvlnelv Irradiated spirit Fer no ene who knew Mr. Beecher Intimately could doubt that he was pre emi nently a man of (led and walked with Ued." I Witt, quote only one mere paragraph, for It expresses se clearly and truly what was the greatest service etall that Mr. Beecher rendered, net only te " many a son of New Kngland," but te thousands mere In all Uie world, who all ought te be glsd te give him credit for it and te thank (led rer having raised up in our land ae great and blessed a teacher. Says Dr. Abbett : " l.tke many a son of New Kngland, 1 be gan my Christian life with fatlh In a (led who Is Just, belief in a law which is inexora ble, and submission te the primacy of a con science absolute but net lnfalllole. Prem Mr. Beecher 1 first learned that (led Is love, that law is redemption, and that love, net conscience, Is the soul's prlmata Who that haa learned this lessen Irem anyieacher can ever forget the lessen, or leek with ether than a reverent sflectien en the teacher from whom he learned 117 Mr. Beecher has ren dered his generation many and great services political, moral, aeclal, theological ; but his greatest service Is In this, that he haa taught the Puritan church that Ced Is love, and law Is love, and life la love ; that love is all and In all." Tins week's Christian Union, by the way, which at this writing 1 have net yet seen, will have a memorial supplement containing estimates or Mr. Beecher's character and work, full accounts of the funeral and me morial services, and ether valuable and Inter esting matter net te be had elsewhere.
