This case illustrates, if any illustration were needed, the futility of attempting to bind or boy lying tongues to silence. Every sane man should know that It is an impossible task. We doubt if there is asnceenfui case of the kind on record. There Is an eld adage "that murder will out," and it ia Just as true of slander. The longer it runs the worse it goU, taking on more malignant phases and involving its subject in new complications at every step, until at last, as in the case now before the public, the slandered person's own acts stand out witnesses against him.

Now that the caae is ended and Mr. Beefier acquitted everyone must be struck with the weahum and fotqity of bisotmtse. Mo«t Mstiradly, if he waa an innocent man, be never should have entered on such a system of compromise and collusion as he did. He should have fearlessly confronted his slanderers and conspirators, if such they were, who had leagued together to destroy his usefulness and good name. Henry Ward Beecher was strong enough to have defied a whole regiment of Ultons and Woodhnils and Moultons. If he bad treated from the outset with indignant contempt the Tile slanders that were circulated abeut him he would never have become involved in the complex web, largely of his own weaving, from which he has found it so difficult to extricate himself without dishonor—a feat indeed of which a large portion of the public will never be persuaded he has accomplished never would have written those desparing letters which constitute the strongest evidence against him would never have paid out |7,000 to a set of black-mailers under the false impression that it would save his reputation. The strongest evidences against him were those which Mr. Beecher himself made by his weak, vacillating and compromising course. Had he defied his enemies from the first he would have bad little to overcome. The empty slanders of lying tongues would have glanced harmless from his mailed character. What would the case have amounted to but for his letters? Tilton's story would have been killed by a mere denial Moulton's hands would have been empty of any weapon Mr. Beecher's vindication would have been sure and easy. All along the unbelievers in his innocence have pointed to his own letters as the strongest passible evidence against him.

We wish the above were printed in letters of gold on the walla of every sebool-room, seminary, college and snlveraity In the land—for It contains a great truth, too often lost sight of, too often treated with supercilious contempt. Mr. Everett was one of the most accomplished scholars America baa ever produced, and the peer of any abroad yet be recognised how little waa required for a good education, and how Incomplete any education is without that lit* tie. There ia a tendency nowadays In this country, and perhapa elsewhere, to cultivate the flowers of education at the expense of the stalk, and sacrifice the essentials for the sake of the non-essen-tials. A knowledge of ancient languages, of the higher branohea of mathematics, and of the various departments of physical and mental science, la certainly desirable and when tbexe Is the requisite taste and leisure for it, may be aoqulred with profit as waB as pleasure. But thousands of scholars, male and female, axe made to absorb "a little Latin and less Greek" before they have mastered half the difficaltiea, or seenbalf the beauties of their mother tongue. Thousands are crammed with what Everett calls the "ologies Mid eaophles" be$r« they are tkuroaghlyv^aed in arithmetic, and thousands more are loaded down with fanciful accomplishments before they have any accurate comprehension of the substantial In many respects the education of the £r$$£t jfcy is a,improvement upon thai which prevailed fifty yeani ago, butllfr some re-? spe^tlit is debldftcfjy inferio^. $he superstructure of theMucatlonai edifice is mor# elaborate but tJb# jbundations are weaker. We have me*'young gentlemen who were graduates of respectable institutions of. learning, and yet were unable to write twenty, sentences of tinexceptionable English without a fearftd amount of labor and perplexity. We have met young ladies who could chatter fluently in French, conjure sweet music from the piano, and trill a song in what is supposed to be very choice Italian, and yet were almost ignorant of the history of their own land, to say nothing of any other. We have met both young gentlemen and young ladles who had grappled rhetoric, political eoonomy, logic and geometry, whose reading was miserable and whose spelling was damaging. Fifty years ago the brandies of the-tree were not so broad and beautiful, but the roots were deeper and stronger. »'v
Commend us, after all, to a good, oldfashioned common-school education, where "the three It's" were driven into the boys and girls so that they remained forever. Sachs*) education is sufficient for all the ordinary purposes of life, and it opens the door for higher culture whenever and wherever it is wanted.
THE FRUIT TRADE.
A dozen years ago the shipping trade in- small fruits was unknown in the West. All perishable fruit which could not be used in the neighborhood in which it was raised was allowed to decay for lack of a market. Hence, in small cities and towns, berries and fruits were hawked about the streets, and sold for prices which would scarcely pay for the picking, while in large cities, dependent almost entirely upon the country in their immediate neighborhood, the prices were high. By degrees railroad facilities were increased, and city dealers began to go to the country for supplies. Now half the product of the gardens and orcbards.of the country goes upon a journey before it is eaten, and the most profitable item of the business of the express companies Is the carrying of it. Early in the spring the ripening berries on the sunny ride of the temperate tone aire taken from before the eyes of the astonished inhabitants and run up north. Strawberries, raspberries, cherries, blackberries and peachfollow in quick succession, and prices •m equalised between the city and the country towns. Indeed, like the Indian who was so straight thrft he leaned back, prices area little more than equalised, and the neighbors of the fruit growers complain that they cannot get fruit from the orchards in which it is grown aa frWp as it Is sold after shipment «f several hundred miles. Therefore the advantage of the city has proven to aome extent the disadvantage of the small towns but this hi only temporary, for the extant of tb» business, and the oer* telnty of a fkir market, guaranteed by the facilities of shipment, Is continually loading others to engage in fruit-raising, and both the quanlty and quality of fruit la constantly Increasing.

A OOBBSKPOITIHSNT wants to know the meaning of the term "Chicsgoed," as used when one ^de in a game of euchre fttfla to make a point during the game.

A
GBBMAN
ofNapa,California,has suc
ceeded in inventing a wonderftil clock, with which is combined a kerosene lamb. The clock can be be set so that at a certain hour it will lift the chimney off the lamp, light the lamp, put out the match, and replace the chimney. This dock will save us, when it gets into general use, the trouble of recording the sudden departure from this world of many amiable but foolish women, who think that kerosene can be safely poured into a lamp while it is lit. A California paper, in notioing the clock invention, informs us that the inventor is at work on a clock which will get up in the morning, go down in the kitchen, kindle the fire, make the coffee, and then rattle off an alarm to wake the ftunily.
PASTORAL PERILS.
Undeniably there are peculiar perils attending the ordinary relations of pastor and people. Illustrations of this have not been lacking at any time, but at the present moment several unhappy examples give a momentary prominence to the subject. The nature of the danger cannot be better indicated than in this passage from the pen of the editor of the New York Observer, himself a clergyman, and widely acquainted with clerical life:
A silly woman, pious perhaps, but very soft and shallow, hears the stirring words of ber eloquent pastor is roused, warmed, soothed, exalted—she thinks ecM«ct-*and straightway ahe believes him to be the man sent to da her good. She goes to hia study to tell him so: how much enjoymont she finds in his words or she writes him a letter and pouis out her little sonl-fbll of twaddle about her gratitude for what her dear pastor baa done for her how she "is {lfted up'* by hia instructions how she loves him aa a friend given to be her guide and comfort, and so on, more and worse, running into a mawkish sentimentality, a sickening man-worship, disgusting to every sensible person, but very nectar to a vain, ^worldly preacher, who seeks only to make his heare«a«feel good." Such people never go to their to ask "what they must do to be Mwadf" It ia to tell him how good tbeyfeel how be ia "exalting" them, "filling them with Joy, Mace, *ndiove.'' We cannot go into particulars without offending the tastes of everyi^er.We make our meaning plain. Wa ,***£, be understood as saying that what worldly preachers and sentimental women raul "Communion of soul" and "kindred spirits," "mutual help," and "holy sympathy," and words in the same strain, ia not relleion-tt la not even rellgloa*.

two tat,
dnaif weeks we have bewi the only aool in the hooas. We haw had no one to love u»—none to oa-hug. All alone we went to bed, not to us a word waa said. We got up in the morning just as quietly aa we retired at night. There wasn't much housework to do, and the barn chores didn't consume much time. For the first few day* we studied economy and boarded oursslf. We soon got tired of esltng the outside sllee of bread at evary meal" and threw the loaf away, and bought crackers. Remembering the difficulty that Brother Beecher had with hia dish-cloth a few yearn ago-an aaoowit of which be gave ht hia miscellany st the time—we resolved not to wsah any dishes, but just put the dirty ones to soak and use clean ones. Aa Long ss the dishes hold out, ws shall get vitfc that part of the housekeeping Ml right, but they wont last always, se the pisTof clean ones is dsily growing smaller, and the pUe of dirty oiiee larger. The crista in this particular la approaching, and unless "the ftdka oome home pretty soon, wo shall have to borrow some dishes. For the fifs few days we made the bed up nicely every morning. For the next few days we pot it off till night, and for the last few days we haven't made it at all. We were charged particularly to water the house plants, and take care of the bird. The plants have caused us a good deal of tremble, but we left the door of the cage open about the first time we curried that animal off, and he hasn't troubled us much since. Of course we'll "catch It" when the folks oome home, but that is a good deal easier than It ia to catch the bird. On the whole we are free to say that we don't like house-keeping, and if ever we should be "born again" —and according to every good authority we have all got to undergo that operation, we earnestly hope we shant be born a woman—and especially a housekeeping one. We would rather be an angel,
about the duty of a woman to be a lady when die says: "Wlldness Is a thing which girls cannot aflbrd. Delicacy is a thing whioh cannot be lost and found. No art can restore to the grape its bloom. Familiarity without love, without confidence, wlthont regard, is destructive of all that makes woman exalting and ennobling •The world is wide, these things are small, They may be nothing, but they are all. Nothing! It la the first duty of a woman to be a lady. Good-breeding is good sense. Bad manners in woman is immorality. Awkwardness may be ineradicable. BashAilness is constitutional. Ignorance ef etiquette is the result of circumstances. All can be oondoned, and do not banish man or woman from the amenities of their kind. But selfpossession, unshrinking and aggressive coarseneaa of demeanor, may be reckoned as a Stale Prison offense, and certainly merits the mild form of restraint called Imprisonment for life. It is a shame for women to be lectured on their manners. It is a bitter shame that they need it. Women are the umpires of society. It is they whom all mooted points should be referred. To be a lady is mere than to be a prince. A lady is always in her right Inalienably worthy of respect. To a lady, prince and peasant alike bow. Do net be restrained. Do not have the Impulses that need restaint. Do not wish to dance with the prince unsought. Fedl differently. Be such thflt you confer honor. Carry yourself so lofty that men will look up to you for reward, not at you in rebuke. The natural sentiment of man towards woman Is reverence. He loses a large means of grace when he is obliged to account her a being to be trained into propriety. A man's
Ideal is not wound
ed when a woman fells In worldly wisdom but If in grace, in sentiment, In delicacy, in kindness, she should be found wanting, he receives an inward hurt." --------sbss
WE BELIEVE.
We believe that the body of every human being—however humble—is just aa good ancT just as valuable as that of a thorough-bred race-horse, or a fancy dog, or a pet canary bird, and should have the same care and attention, the same proper food and exercise, and ether appropriate treatment as la given to these or any other animals.
We believe in physical recuperation and development, pure and simple and
bones,
among the really good "things" which every one should diligently seek after. We believe in the improvement of all animals, man Included and the latter, under skillful and proper management and care, can In all ordinary circumstances be made more healthy and more beautiful, and hence more usefbl and honorable to the Creator.
We believe that It would be absolutely wicked to kill off all the fest horses in the world, and that, therefore, It is right and proper that some people—and good people, too—should both own and use them.
We believe that around every dwelling of the poor man and the rich man there should be trees, shrubs and flower*, which are always refreshing, refining, and elevating, and, hence, likely to bo a joy forever to every household.
We believe in bouse painting and house and house adorning in pictures and frescoes: in statuary, upholstery, and everything appropriate to make home the best sanctuary of oarth, the "dearest place hi the world."—[N. Y. Independent. -x

MINISTERIAL HUMOR. There is no class of men, as a class (says one of the religious papers,) so witty and so humorous as the clergy. They are genial company when they take ft upon themselves to unbend. There are no sons nor daughters in the land better educated, more successful, or more honored than the sons and daughters of the parsonage. The humor or sober men would make a rare book of mirth and wit, with a keen moral.
Dr. Hawes used to say that his style of preaching was moulded by the criticisms of Dr. Emmons on a single sermon. Dr. Haves read a paper to his tutor exuberant with rhetoric. "Joel." said the Sage, "I kept school once. When I whipped the boys, I always stripped the leaves off of the rod"—drawing an imaginary rod through his fingers.
A man callea on the Doctor and wanted to preach. "Where are your credentials?" "I have none." "where were you educated "I have no book learning. The Lord opens my month when I speak." "Yes a similar miracle was performed In the time of Balaam. But we dont want any braying here."
Dr. Emmons preached a sermon against Universalism. A Univeraalist minister was sent for to reply to the sermon, in the schooNbouse. A call was then made on the Doctor for his sermon, that both might be printed together.
It is forbidden by the Bible," said tho Doctor "you must toot yoke an ox and an ass together."
Dr. Howe, of Northboro', answered a knock at the door. "Father has sent ,, you a quarter of meat," said a lad.
Hum I I will go out and look at it. Hum! It is only a forequarter, but you may bring It in,"boy."
Mr. Moore prayed at the meeting of a secret society. He said: "O Lord, we are here for I know not what. If it is a good thing, wilt Thou bless it. If it is a bad thing, wilt Thou curse it." The Society complained. The preacher replied:
