He decided that this protection would last only so long as Ham- ilton's money. and he patiently waited in Mexico till the outlaws should turn the fugitive out from among them. penniless. He did not have to wait many weeks. Cortina robbed his ward of all he had, and then abandoned him. Murphy brought him backto Jersey City. The first per- son to meet him was his faithful wife. She forgave him the disgrace he had brought upon her and their children. When he was arraigned he pleaded guilty. More in response to her entreaties than to any circumstance mitigating his ofience, the court leniently imposed a sen- tence of but three years' imprisonment. Mrs. Hamilton went at once to the Governor to seek her husband’s pardon. When she found that he could do nothing without the aid of the Court of Pardons she importuned everybody in her large circle of friends to intercede with the members of the court in her husband‘s behalf. She sacrificed health and fortune in her efforts to get him out. A year before his term would have expired he was released from his confinement. Mrs. Hamilton then placed the remnant of her little fortune in his hands and bade him make a new man of himself. His friends believed that he was on the fair roadtoredempticn, and all gave him a lifting hand. He established a milk route that gave employment to three men, and yielded ahandsome income. but he soon fell back into evil company. Selling out his milk route he purchased a saloon on Grove street. There he started a variety show of the very lowest character. He practically deserted his wife for the lewd women that performed on his stage or gathered to witness the plays. The police raided the place and arrested him. Mrs. Hamilton sat in court at his trial. acting the part ofafaithful wife, notwithstanding his treachery to her. During all this time Mrs. Hamilton's family and friends saw. with anxiety, that her health was failing fast. They begged her to discard the man and leave him to his fate. She turned a deaf ear to them. Several years ago Hamilton disappeared from his home. The faithful woman heard nothing from him, and her death from a broken heart is her reward for her fidelity.

T e brute, on the other hand, treads water, remains on the surface. and is virtually insubmergeable.

The Harmonial Association in New York is an organization for the purpose of pre- venting “ the evil effects of the go-asoyou- please system of marriages which every- where afllicts humanity. and which. un- hagpily, are now celebrated in both Church an State with prayers and flowers and universal approbation.” Its projectors desire to secure legislation “to regulate the relation of marriage.. and especially to prevent the continuance of the present unscientific and vicious system ywhich any two of opposite sex. how- ever ignorant or however diseased. and however incapacitated for the respon. sibilities of parentage, may obtain the sanction of priest or ’squire to consummate what should be deemed the most holy and delicate of all relations known to human nature." They ask for the appointment of a commission which “shall have ample powertoinvestigate into the antecedents of the individual, and shall fully and scientifically examine the present condi- tions, both physically and mentally, of each person who shall present himself or herself as a candidate for the marriage relation.” This commission is to beauthor- ized to issue certificates to those eligible, and those who marry without such certifi- cates are to be punished by fines and imprisonment, or both. A despatch from New York. dated Satur- day. says Mr. Beecher complimented the zealous ones who turned out in the rain to attend the prayer meeting last night. He talked to them about death and about the future life, particularly in relation to the doctrine of eternal punishment. He called the attention of those who cling to the idea of an everlasting hell to the fact that it is not taught at all in the Old Testament, asserting that in the administration of a nation which was avowedly directly under the Divine care, “there was a period of four or five thousand years, during which the doctrine was not taught once." It was evident that among the Jews there was a certain idea of a hereafter of pain, but the teaching of a gross, sensual, material torment “ belonged to the Roman mind." It was “ the creation of the medimval age, and there had come down to us lingering remnants of it." Mr. Beecher touched lightly on the New Testa- ment allusions to death asan eternal sleep. He pointed to the distinction that exists between the Western and the Oriental mind on this subject. In the \Vestern hemisphere everybody seemed to dread death, whereas, the Chinese and other Orientals had, as a rule, no more fear of death than they had of going with- out a meal. The Roman empire was built upon the Tuscan, and, although the latter was conquered. the Tuscan's horrible con~ ceptions of future torment had permeated the Roman Empire. When the Roman Catholic Church organized itself gradually it selected as its most pcweriul instrument the keys. " No sceptre in the king’s hand, no sword in a general’s hand, no instrument of torture in inquisitorial hands ever had the power in it that was in the keys. They typified the Church’s claim to lock and unlock the gates of heaven and hell for every human soul; and while the Church magnified the joys of the redeemed in Paradise. their imagination was absolutely drunken with the sufferings of the damned souls that went out unregenerate atdeath.” While the Protestant Reformation threw off a great deal of this yet it retained much of it, and it might be said that the popular notion of hell now was gross. barbaric, devilish. “ I believe," added Mr. Beecher. " there is a period of penalty that follows transgression in this life, but it is mental, it is moral, it is the other life. and under clearer circumstances a remorse,a self-condemnation. As a man who has squandered his estate and is brought to poverty and then begins to think what he might have had, so I can understand how a man's mind may torture him with constant reminders of what he has lost. Pain and pleasure are disciplin- ary, and are designed in the divine economy to workout afterward. if not here, a sal- vable state of mind.” In reply to the question, “ How should a Christian look at death ?" Mr. Beecher replied. "Well. in the first place, he should not look at it at all-on purpose. Or, if he looks at it. he should do so only to stimu- late himself to lead a better life here and not to brood over the horrors of an imagi- nary hereafter." People wondered how they would feel when dying. “ I’ll tell you how you'll feelâ€"most of you," said Mr. Beecher. “You’ll feel stupid: that’s all you'll feel. You’ll want to go tosleep. Dying is as easy as going to sleep in most- instances. Once in a while there was a triumphant or a radiant death, or a remorseful death, but not once in a million times was there such a death asis described in books. That was all ‘ flummery.’ " Mr. Beecher attached no significance to the manner in which a man expired, as it was rincipally the result of physical acci- gents, and afforded no test of his moral state.
