Henry Ward Beeeker Wall Street im
Biches-aad Jim risk.
Recently Henry Ward Beeeher lec
tured at Boston. TLe following ia a por
tion of tlie lecture. There ia a moral in
it:
I bare buried four generations of men
from Wall street in twenty-fire year.
Wall street ia a dunghill of mushrooms.
There is a vast growth of men in every
single year, and every year they are
trampled down in hosts I know bdt
one or two men in that period who have
been able to make permauent gains and
bold their gains. And they didn't do it
by speculation ; they added other means
of accumulation, which were the founda
tion of their stability, and I believe that
all the men there are trying to be rich
without paying for what they get they
are rushing on to destruction. Others
may look upon those great, marvelous
and sudden changes that have taken
place in New York with ridicule. I feel
in looking upon them as solemn as a
judgment-day. I have for years been
urging the young uteu in ray church not
to envy the riches of men that came not
ty honest means. I have again and agaiu
prophesied that the day should come that
would see them overwhelmed or ruined.
! thought it could not come so soou.
Where now are the men ensconced
behind inezpuguable walls 7 Scattered,
shorn, odions, their households like Niobe
weeping and they disgraced, and paral
yzed and cast utterly out of society;
the men that were destroying the integ
rity of the young, they are aa Sodom and
Gomorrah." And I say to the yonng
men that had been partly blessed from
their integrity, "Look upon these men
and see how surely iuiquitous gain brings
down ruin and disgrace upon their beads
And that supreme mountebank of for
tune the astounding event tf this age
that a man with some smartness in busi-
i - . I :.l . l

and as absolutely devoid or suame as the
desert of Sahara is of grass that this
man, with one leap, should hava vaulted
to the verv summit of power in New
I York, and for seven or ten years should
i have held the courts in his hands, and
the Legislature and the most consummate
j invested interest of the land in his hands

tion of public decency that this man
should have been the supremest there,
and vet in an instant, bv tlie hand of a
; fellow-culprit, God's providence struck
lnmto the ground! Ana l am sorry
for him. I cannot see a loitOT being go
down though he has been wicked and
though he has wrought sorrow in every

whom God gave bis Son, and not feel

And yet I say to

be joyful therein, if you dou't lose your
conscience or your power with God.

letter from Perrysrllle.
Perrvsvillk, April 6, 1872.
Mr. Editor : I promised to write you
another letter before long, but I hardly
know how or what to write about. There
are so many "wrongs nmiehted" that it
is hard to specify any one in particular.
In Congress, for instance, there seems to
be a disposition to introduce a great num
ber of bills, which, by their title, would
seem to indicate that all the energies of j
that angunt body were about to be brought
into requisition to enhance tbe interests j
of the soldiers. Members will read a bill i
with a ereat flourish of trumpets, actine
as though the passage of it was to be
made a specialty. But, alas ! our fond
est hopes are pretty sure to be destined
to disappointment. It will Le referred to
a committee, where, in all probability, it
will lie quietly during tLe session, and it
is never heard of again, thus showing
at once that the sole object in bringing it
np, was to get rid of a pressure from
some quarter, (perhaps a disabled sol
dier seeking to have a claim adjusted,)
or else introduced for buncombe."
This kind of legislation Las a demor
alizing tendency, and makes soldiers look
with suspicion upon parties addicted to
it. 31 en who periled their lives in de-
fence of our common country have a right
to be heard in their appeals, and those
Congressmen who turn a deaf ear to their
entreaties, should understand that the
soldiers, if organized, hold the balance of
power, aud the time is coming and now
is, when they will not stand quietly by
and see their just claims ignored by those
they have placed in power.
We say then, let Congress beware bow
they trifle with the soldiers' interests, or
ere loug )bey may assert their rights, and
demonstrate to these " public servants"
that they have righl which even Con
gratmett are bound lo repect'
More anon.

A Lancaster county man, some
twenty years ago, took French leave of
the paternal roof and left for parts un
known. A decade later the father died,
leaving a considerable sum of money to
the absent son, provided the son appeared
to claim his inheritance within ten years.
A few days ago he del appear to claim
it, but was just sixteen days behind time
He is iowo on the Union Pacific Rail
way for his detention by the snow block
ade on that popular thoroughfare, which
lost him his inheritance.
An English writer advises yonng la

Sam eel Flaky Breess Hone.
The inventor of the telegraph, Samuel
F. B. Morse, was buried in Greenwood
Cemetery, New York, on last Friday.
He was bora in Charles town, Mass., on
the 27th day of April, 1791. Graduating
with distinguished honors from Yale Col
lege, at the age of nineteen years, he de
termined to adopt engineering as a pro
fession, but subsequently concluded to
become an artist lie first opened Lis
studio in Boston. But, her patrons of
art failed to recognise hi genius, and he
subsequently removed to New Hainp
shire, thence to South Carolina, and ulti
mately, iu 1822, settled in New York
City. Here he rapidly achieved brilliant
success ; for. not only was he tLe recipi
ent of numerous applications for the pro
ducts of Lis pencil, bnt the city employ
ed him to execute a full-sized portrait of
Lafayette. This he accomplished to tLe
full satisfaction of his admiring patrons.
During Lis visit to Europe, tLe subject
of electro-magnetism was a prominent
tbeme of discussion with Lis friends, Mr.
Morse Laving for a long time previous
given it special attention. While on
board the vessel on which he was to re
turn to this country, the subject of elec
tricity and magnetism was frequently in
troduced, and the recent discoveries in
France, as to the means of obtaining the
electric spark from the magnet, was an
absorbing topic of conversation. His
philosophic and practical mind revolved
the various theories and views suggested
by the French savans and his own com
panions, until Le finally conceived the
idea of an electric telcprapb ; and before
the arrival of the vessel in port, he had
embodied his conception iu delineations,
with explauatoy notes, aud presented
them for the examination of his fellow
passepgers. He at once proceeded to Washington,
and, introducing Lis system to tLe atten
tion of leading statesmen, eloquently be
sought Congress for an appropriation to
enable him to establish an experimental
line of telegraphic communication be
tween Baltimore and the capital. But
the sapient Solons of that day regarded
his scheme as Utopian, in theory and
practice, and ridiculed Lis teal and enthu
siasm. Baffled but not disheartened,
though well nigh penniless, he sought to
eulist tbe interest and sympathy of for
r,:n countries, but there too encountered
I defeat. The 3ge was not prepared to

But a brighter morn was to dawn for
Prof. Morse. At midnight, ou the last
day of tbe session of 1843, Congress ap
propriated f 30,000 to aid his enterprise.
Owing, however, to insuperable difficul
ties, it was not until the 27th of May,
1844, that those memorable words,
"What hath God Wrought," transmitted
from Baltimore to Washington, demon
strated beyond the power of cavil, bis
-triumphant vindication. Since that au
spicious day tbe crowned beads of En
rope have lavished distinguished honors
npon him. In addition to medals, cross
es, and decotations, they contributed
400.000 francs, as an honorary testimo
nial to his invaluable contributions to the
cause of science and civilization. Nor
has his own countrymen forgotten him
His statue in Central Park is one of the
evidences of their profound admiration
Our institutions of learning, all over the
land, proudly enroll his among their
honored names

alike gratefully acknowledge their in
