The herds at the Red Pass were the finest aud largest in the neighborhood; tlie barn, and storehouse were always well filled. He was a bachejor, some¬ thing over two score years old. And he wanted “Bonnie Bessie' 4 for his wife. “If t helassie thinks she can fancy me,’ 41 he said, addressing Bessie's grand mother, as he stood under ti e [ ow brow,, rafters of the h| jh ' Bhrg’s Lyun cottage, a hot flush mounting to the shining crown of liis bald head, “if the lasse thinKs she can fancy me, the bargain's made. I(m ready and willing to lead her to the ki.k to mor¬ row; and if a good, true husband, and some gold and silver will make her happy, she'll he as lmppy as a queen of the Red Pass Bessie listened, with wide, startled eyes, burning cheeks and quivering lips. She held her peace, standing, tall and slim, in a sort of stunned sis lence, uutil her grey Laired lover had taken his leave. Then she burst forth into vehement passionate protest. The old grandmother suffered her to storm until her passion was spent. “Well, ‘tis o'er now, and ye ‘11 sim¬ mer down and keep quiet, mebbe,— I've let ye have your say, and now I will have mine. We're poor folks, me and you. I found it hard to get bread when 1 had but my Own mouth to feed; and siuce I've been burdened wi‘ you I've gone to bed many a night fit to cry with hunger. But I've borne it all an' done my best, an 4 al-, ways been willing to gi' you a share o 4 my last. “ “But dearest grandma-“ “Now lookee here my lass 4 ' inter - rupted the old woman, lifting her bony finger ,and glowering fiercely upon Bessie; ‘‘if ye‘re fule enou' to refuse this good fortin 4 that ends it ‘twixt 11s two. You pack out o' my house, and ne’er cross the threshold agin.“ Bessie was silent. The great world beyond the Highland peaks seemed so dim and far away, and the old home scene so familiar. The autumo days drifted on, and in the spring time she was going to the kirk with'Squrie Renfrew and be made bis wife. The Spring time came and the wed¬ ding day was close at hand, one even¬ ing, just before tho loamiug, Bessie went to fill her pitcher, as usual, at the rocky spring near by. She had accomplished her task, had lifted the pitcher to her shoulder, and had start¬ ed for the cottage, her white, shape- ly feet twinkling prettily below the .*«* .*• •* *«• stone to stone in crossing the little brawling stream, when suddenly she uttered a stifled cry, and staggering to LEARY, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20,1882. a mossginvn bowlder, sat down and P'U the pitcher hastily ou the ground, her hand on her heart and all over. “It's his ghaist, it‘s his ghaist, 44 she cried. “And o,h how sail - ho looked ft t me!' 1 Whatever she had seen, or fancied $ke bad seen there wa- nothing in when she next looked up;Kuoth- except the overhanging rocks of t’ue.glen; t^p brooK shimmeiing in the q^nh'g 1 'g'ht and tho white birch trees swaying spectrally against the ^7 • “He has come from his grave,she cubed, glancing fearfully around ‘ I dare na, dare na do it.

Then Jamie, theu, perhaps, you ‘11 forgive me, dear. 4 Leaving her pitcher there, she toss¬ ed back her abundant locks, as she finished this adjuration, and went speeding away, through the falling darKness with the light foot of a cham- ois. When she reached the Read Pass the bright glow of the warm ingleside lit the windows. She approached the nearest one, anu pressed her sad, tired face the glass. A minute and she tapped lightly against the glass. The ‘Squire turn¬ ed quickly, stared, and then started to his feet. now, whafs meaning o' this ?’ he cried, rushing across tho room aud throwing up Hie window. ‘Bessie, my lassie, what's happened ?’ ‘feomething that never should o' happened, 4 she answered, looking at him with a sort of desperate defiance, and drawing the gold from her finger, as she spoke. ‘I'vo come to give this back to you, 'Squire .Renfrew.

He took the ring she offered, and paused for a rnomeut. A look uuut- terablo pain aud regret came iuto his kind eyes.

Beecher‘s Break. / From The Association of Congrega¬ te naliss. HF. ANNOUNCES HIS RELIEF IN REGARD to Hell and infant baptism TO BE STUMBLING BLOCKS IN 1IJS WAY—THE ACTION OF THE Association THEREON—RES quested to C Oil! HACK Yew York, October 13 *— Brooklyn, and especially the members of Ply¬ mouth church are in a fever of excite¬ ment over the new phase of their church relationship. On Tuesday morning, when the autumn session of the New York and Brooklyn churches met, Mr? Beecher made an address on certain differences with the church; which ho closed by announcing his withdrawal from the association.— He said that as a Christian gentleman, he could not afford to lay on anybody the responsibility of his’ views. Ho could not afford, especially, to put the association in such a position that they were obliged to defend him. He could not make them responsible in any way, and, therefore, be now here iu the greatest love and sympathy, laid down his membership, and should go forth, uot to be separated from them, but really to be nearer them.— He should do anything for them.— He never was in warmer personal sympathy with them than he now was; but lie laid down the responsibility that they had borne—he took it off them and put it ou himself. Mr. Beecher explained that he made this exposition in order to meet the loose general representations and misreps resentatious in respect to what he be¬ lieved aud taught. He hell that view that had been presented by the Pagan Greek barbariaus— one of the most barbaric, that is, infatile, ignorant, conceptions— w as THE IMPASSIVITY OF GOD A conceptiMi tluw ......... character required that a bejng should not pg susceptible (0 pain of any kind —( 0 sorrow or to suffering. The di vine heroism must stand on the pow- ei . 0 f God to suffer, and it is the very root an<1 {ovCQ 0 ( the atoning life and death of Christ. Right over on the wa3 another element spring j n g f rorn a barbaric nation, and not f rom esthetics, namely, that God is clothed with human passions. Terms 0 f that kind were not Wanting in the old Testament, but men had construe ted ttl( q r conception of God from the example of their animal inclination and appetites, not from the example 0 j (i,eir reason and their moral sense, ;vn j s0 we bad a barbarous conception alld t]ia t was spiritual barbarism. The w bole view of God which was laid down in the confession of faith of the Westminister school in relation lo tho (i eCree> an d in relation to tiro whole process and operation of Divine grace Mr. Beecher held this view of God's character to stand over against the representation of God, as made bv the ^ 0l . d j esus Christ, as a frightful gor- goa s t o0 d over against the head of an Apoile in the heathen mythology. He held it to be a monster in the piece of a loving Master and master 0 f i ove n 0 rejected it with an iin- , pe tus that touched the very fonnda bj on 0 f his soul. Then, tho doctrine 0 f man's moral and physical inability t 0 obey the laws of God I10 rejected, He also rejected tho representations of future punishmeut, which wer gross and physical, and that were made from tho sensuous Roman school He believed in future punishment, He believed that a wholesome aud restraining influence of that doctrine had been very largely destroyed by substituting a slaughter house notion a gross carnal, corrupting and dia^- bodical representation of hell and the sufferings of those subjected to it. Suffering, he held, would not be bodi¬ ly but mental, according to tho laws of moral sensibility and all the affec tions not a deluge of devils, and all manner of annoyance epitomilzed and represented in the art of Angelos's Last Judgment,' and represented more abominably and inexcusably by Corn¬ elius and the Orman school. That was barbaric. He regarded also the whole doctrine of original sin as found in the fall of Adam as barbaric, that s the conception of in m ai yet i.'notV ant uneducated on this subject. Tfe was not used a single time in whole scope of tlte instructions of all the ages of the Old Testament. You could not find it in the Old Testament You cannot look through all the teach ings of the four gospels and find a single passage that except by wide Inference and misconstruction can be applied to it. You can find it only in tho Pauline writing*. He accep¬ ted without analysis tho trinity. Any attempt to divine the function was futil. IIo t olieved in a Providence who overrules human life by and through natural laws. Christ was infinite within finite limits, and in takeing his place ns a man ho became subject to the laws of time, space and matter. Mr. Beecher believed fully enthusiastically, without a break or a single lino of tremulous aberration in tho divinity of Christ. Christ was God manifest in the flesh. now IT WAS RECEIVED. The announcement, so unespooted, fell like a bomb among tho assembled brethren' At first many were iuclius cd to censnro M r . Beecher, but the prudence of taking lirno to consider tho situation was suggested by several of the more cousei vatjve, and ou Wed¬ nesday the association camo to tho conclusion that Mr. Beecher had said nothing which was not already ho ■ lieved by tho body. In accordance with this finding, it was resolved to request Mr. Beecher to reconsider his withdrawal, as they were all of one mind. Mr. Beecher lias tho matter now under advisement. Blooming Prosperity.
