Henry Ward Beecher, that more than once he has declined the honorary degree of D. D. (Doctor of Divinity), otiered him by prominent institutions. The reasons for hi* declination of a nominal dignity which most gentlemen in bis profession are only too anxious to append to their names, are pointedly as Wfell as characteristically stated in a letter to Mr. Bonner, of the New York Ledger. Mr. Bonner, it appears, wrote to Mr. Beecher, asking the question, " Why did Mr. Beecher decline the degree of D. D., when it was conferred upon him ?"] 3d.

SMITH, Two doors above Lewis Cohen's Clothing Store, A short time since a very enterprising young merchant of New Orleans, who is the happy possessor of a wife as beautiful as heart could desire, had occasion to vii.it Mobile. He was gone but • week, and returned sooner than expected. Reaching homo at an hour when the gray of the morning was mingling with the shades of night, he of course found the family all in bed. Proceeding directly to his wife's apartment he rapped for admission, at the same time announcing who he was. At the mention of his name he thought he detected a smothered exclamation of surprise, and then some one got hurriedly from the bed and sought refuge in a closet adjoining bis bed-room. All this he heard distinctly as he waited in the cold with the demon of jealousy tugging away at his heart. Thero was some one in his wife's room ; there could be no doubt of that, and that some one had sought refuge in the closet was equally clear. Who else could it be than a lover? Mad with jealousy, furious and indignant, he could scarcely wait for the door to be opened before he burst into the room and made for the closet. His wife interferred, and begged that lie wouldn't open the door concealing hit disturber of domestic peace. He dashed her aside furiously, but she clung to the tails of his coat. Tho strain made upon these useful appendages at last compelled them to give way, and the angry Benedict threw wide open the door of the closet, and lo ! instead of the cunning libertine, his astonished eyes rested on one of the prettiest girls imaginable. She was passing the night with bis yife, and, trying to avoid meeting nim in ilia haWtlle, brought about a rather embarrassing denouement.

I Dii;ree with lhatt worthy sect in everything, unless it he in the matter of Doctrine and of Practice. I always admired plain and straightforward speech. My early reading was of authors who sprang up with the American and the French revolutions, and who had in them the glow and tervor of those early democratic doctrines which prevailed before slavery debauched this nation. The doctrine of the unity, fraternity, and equality of men had a charm for my youth not less bewitching because it was an enthusiasm rather than a philosophy. In some ▼ague way, I can hardly tell how, I conceived a notion of repugnance ior all titles. I remember distinctly that, as early as when I was fourteen years old, I had contempt for any author who put into his title-page a string of honors and titles. I was much taken with the story of some of the French nobility who renounced their hereditary titles and joined themselves to the democratic citizens. I formed a romantic notion of a true man, as one whose character and actions needed for their illustration neither office nor title. Insensibly I imbibed that a title was a sign of imbecility or vanity; that a strong man needed no such crutch or bolster; that it was useless if it conferred on one nothing but what he had in himself, and dishonest if it gave to a man something more than really existed. These were boyhood whims and no- Sculptor, and Dealer in il E M OVAL! FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC MARBLE, Tomb Stones, Mantels, Window Caps and Sills.
