A bill luis been introduced into tho New York legislature to pro- i liibit the marriage of girls under It) andboyB under 18 years old. As a rule marriage should bo deferred until the man and wom an are matured, but early marri ages are by no means ranked among the leading sins of socie ty. Moro even can bo said in favor of early marriages than can be said in favor of deferring that event indefinitely. The idea that the young -wom an must wait until the young man has a competence or a fortune, and they must begin life with as much as their father? and mothers accumulated during their years, is a groat mistake. Marry for love and work for riches is a good motto.]—Chicago Inter-Ocean. Some days ago, Major Henry E. Young of Charleston, receiv ed a letter enclosing a postal order for five dollars for the Charleston earthquake sufferers, from John Brown, Jr., son of the famous John Brown, who was hanged some twenty-five years ago in Virginia, for his attempt to in- cito the negroes t§ insurrection against the whites at Harpor’s Ferry. The writer said his fath er and all his family had tho kind est feelings towards the people of the South, and that it was only the institution of slavery which they hated, and that he would have sent tho money at an earlier date hut for the faot that he had to earn it first. He lives at Put in-Bay, on lake Champlain, New York. Major Young replied, that “tho story of tho widow’s mite had now become a reality,” and the most for appropriate uso he could find for tho money was ‘ ‘a home for wid ows and orphans of confederate soldiers” which was located in Charleston. He also thanks the donor very sincerely for his con tribution and still more for the spirit which prompted it. Surely the war is over when such incidents as this become part of our history. Another Life Savod. * About two years ago, a prominent citizen of Chicago was told by his physician that he must die. They said his system was so debilitated that there was nothing left to build on. He made up his mind to try a “new departure.” He’ got some of Dr. Pierce's “Holden Medical Discovery” and took it according to directions. He began to improve at once. He kept up the treatment for some months, and is to day a well man. He savs the “Discovery” saved his life. Oconee county votes under the local option, law on March 14.

Henry Ward Beecher was 74 years of age, having been born in 1813, and was the most famous preach er in this country, and, perhaps, in the world. For a quarter of century he led the religious thought among Protestants, and was regarded as without a peer as a pulpit orator.— He was born in Litchfield, Conn., and was griulnated from Amherst College, Massachusetts, and the Lane Theo logical Seminary, Cincinnati. His fattier, Lyman, was ft great preacher, and ids brothers and sister have made their marks in the world. His sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, is tlie author of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Soon after he graduated lie became pastor of a little church in Indianapolis, whore lie remained for ten years, lie then removed to Brooklyn in 1847 and be- tate of "said“deceased ' gan that marvelous career which has Petition for Dismission from Ad ministration.

It was a remarkable trial, and was followed closely In all parts of this country anti in England. The jury stood nine to three for ac quittal, and public sentiment virtual ly conceded that to bo a verdict in his favor. It is doubtful if any oth- or preacher could have lived down sucli a scandal us that was. That he retained iiis pulpit, and was almost as popular after as before the trial, showed the remarkable strength of character of the man. He inode money rapidly and spent It freely.— His free-handed way of doing things was one of the sources of his popu larity. Henry Ward Beecher was a great preacher and a great man.

Many of these articles are written by corres pondents of prominent newspapers, and copied into others of lessi^r note. Correspondents generally are seldom men of business qualifications and wrongfully picture these men and their business as a thing of accident: this is not the case with those we have met. We find that where men have made large fortunes by their own business talent and industry they chose with sagacity and fore thought such businesses as would lead to success when handled with business judgment. No man has been brought before the public as an ex ample of success, both in wealth and magnitude of his business ("outside of stock and railroad men) more promi nently than Dr. G. G. Green of Wood bury, N. J. He is at the head of many lorge business industries, and yet comparatively a young man. When the fact that August Flower, for dyspepsia anil liver complaint and Boschee’s German Byrtip, for coughs and lung troubles, has grown to a wonderful sale in all parts of the- world, it proves that it was not an ac cident. or spontaneous strike at wealth. His medicines are recogniz ed as valuable and established reme dies and the business lias grown grad ually and permanently during the last eighteen years on account not alone of Dr. Green’s abilities as a bus iness man or his “good luck,” but on the actual merits of the two prepara tions.—Copied from the N.

As the pastor of Plymouth church lie earned a far- reaching and well-deserved fame. His congregations were among the larg est that ever listened ton preacher, and were made up of the most dis tinguished people from all parts of the country. His sermons, which have generally been printed, have had a wide influence at home and abroad. His manner was impressive and his sense of humor keen. He early took a prominent stand against siavery, and in 1863 he visited Eng land for the purpose of influencing public sentiment in favor of the North, As a writer he occupied a conspicuous position. For twenty years lie was the editor of the New York. Independent, and lie made that paper a power. In 1870 he became the editor of the Christian Union, a religious weekly, and he made it a success. He wrote several works.— Among them are “Lectures to Young Men,” “Industry and Idleness,” “Life Thoughts” and the “Jfife of Christ.” He was at work on the second volume of “Life of Christ” when deatli sum moned him. He was a Republican in politics, and until the last Presidential campaign supported the Republican Presidential candidates. He refused to support Blaine, however, and made speeches for Mr. Cleveland in the last Presidential campaign. He was always rather active in politics, both with his pen and on the plat form. An episode in his life was the suit brought against him by Theo dore Tilton for alienating the affec tions of his wife. The trial of the suit took place twelve years ago in the City Court of Brooklyn ana occupied March, April, May, Are the months in which t«o purify the blood, as tho system is now most susceptible to benefit from medicine.
