AR Smart as Any Fireman.
Bill is a big bay horse, with large, In-
tel-4E9A eyese and a face which plainly
says Yell may walk close to my heels
withert the elightest danger." There is
a spring- to his walk which shows un -
Comm' ea strength, and wten he gets in
motion a ith a fire department truck be-
hind. Ithu the truck is pretty sure of
being thst at the tire. For seven years
Bill has been quartered with Hook and.
Ladder Company NO. 1 in Chambers
street, the firemen are in love
with him.
't
H i as ganitle as- a kitten,' said
Fireman Lynch last night, " and knows
MUC11 ati= alty man in the house."
• A reporter had just entered the en-
gine houte, and was impressed by the
appear -owe of Bill, who was harnessed
to the truck alongside of Torn, hie• corn -
palliate waiting for a signal to go to a
fire that proved to be just outside of the
district. Bill heard the reporter say
that he 1,Va24 a fine looking horse, and
acknowledged the compliment by bob-
bing his head. Then he stretched his
neck awl affectionately put his nose on
the reporter's :shoulder, and -when the
reporter went close to him he rubbed
his face against the reporter's. The
firemen gathered around and patted and
petted the big imimal until it was learn-
ed that they would not have to go to the
fire,and Bill awl Tom were unharnessed.
Bill walked back into his stall with a
regular Bowery swagger, just as if be
knew that he was a wonderful horse and
was proud of it.
" Bill is sixteen years old," Fireman
Lynch said, "and seems- to get wiser
all the time. If there is a green horse
to be broken in he is put alongside of
Bill, and then he learns in no time. I
think that 13in teaches him. Bill always
knows when the gong is going to strike
before it sounds. Do you see that com-
bination instrument on the wall there ?
Well, it makes a slight clicking noise
half a second before the gong sounds.
Bill always hears it, and if he is -lying
down he quickly jump's up and (seta
ready to run to the truck. The sails,
you see, are in the back of the room,
and we can stand here in front and call
Bill and he will walk right out by him-
self. He (loth so many intelligent things
teat I would not know where to begin
to tell them. Although he is old, I
don't know of any young horse that we
weitild swap him for. No, Tom isnot as
wise as Bill,but then he a is young horse
and has not been long in the business.
Bill is teaching him) fast, though. --

To be wilting to begin at the -bottom

so Engaged, with door locked, it wa
very difficult to get his attention. Ii
took no notice of loud knocks at hi
door, or of any common •announcemen
through the keyhole, but kept steadil
on with his work apparently deaf. Thi
was, " Watermelon, Doctor !" Immed'
ately the response came, "Coming
du-
ectly! Don't cut it bill I come." •
Dr. Beecher was sometimes abseil
minded and forgetful, as men who thin
very earnestly are apt to be. Lan
Seminary was then poor, and foun
difficulty in adequately supporting i
fatality, so that Mit. Beecher was ofte
sadly straitened pecuiliaxily. At o
time, when she received a sum of mone3,
it was the occasion of great rejoicin
that it would enable them to pay a bill
for a carpet which had been too Ion
standing. So she committed the mon*
to her husband, charging him to ettenil
to the payment immediately. In the
evening the doctor returned from the
city in high spirits. He described to u
a missionary meeting he had attended
in which was much enthusiasm, ver
eloquently reporting the address s
which had been made. . " doctor,"
iij-
terrupted Mrs. Beecher, "did you g
and pay for that carpet to -day ?" "
pet? what carpet ?" responded the dol. -
tor. "Why, the one I gave you money
to pay for this morning," " There !"
said the doctor, feeling feebly in his vest
pocket: "that accounts for it. At th
missionary meeting they took up a co
tribution. When they came to me
said I had no money to give thein -
wished I had—at the same time feelin
in my pocket, where, to my surprise,
found a roll of bills ; so I pulled it ou
and put it in the box, wondering wher
it had come from, but thinking the Lor
had somehow provided."
In preaching, Dr. Beecher common's
used notes, which were something mor
than the heads,yet only the skeleton, f
his discourse. The bones were there
orderly arrangement, but the flesh an
blood to clothe them was left to the in-
tspiration of the moment. He woul
read one of these notes in a plain,
straightforward manner, as though it
were a scientific statement of fact; then,
with a sudden movement of one hand,
throw his spectacles on the tap of hi-
,
head, and break forth in a burst of el
(pence. Thus the attractiveness an
power of his preaching were almost 'al
together hi- its extemporaneous. parts
On one occasion he was. announced

oration, in the Second Preshyteria
church, Cincinnati. When the hour ar
rived, the church being crowded to it
utmost capacity, in -stead --of De. Beechet
Professor Calvin E. Stowe, then a pro
fessor in Lane. Seminary, was seen as
cending the pulpit stairs, apparently i
a very unhappy state of mind. Eviden
ly he had no enthusiasm for what h
was about to do, which was readily in
derstood when he announced that Di.

and education. He reached the scene of so tha

dismay, that the enterprise was aureadY said -Dr. Stowe, " he sent me his addres •
bankrupt, and that he was penniless,
and friendless in a -strange land: He
worked his way hack to New York, land
in midwinter found himself, without
money or friends, in a great metropolis.
He did not stop to measure the obstacles-
in
his path--; he simply set out to find -
work. He would have preferred the
pen, but he was willing to take the
shevel ; and the shovel it was to be.
Passing dawn Fourth Avenue on a
snowy morning, he found a crowd of
men at work shoveling- snow from the
sidewalks about a well-known locality:
he applied for a position -in their ranks,
got it, and went to work with a hearty
good will, as if shoveling were his voca-
tion. Not long after, one of the owners
of the property, a many millionaire,
passed along the street, saw the
young man's face, was struck by its in-
telligence, awl- wondered what had
brought him to such a pass. A day or
two later, his business took him to the
same locality again, and brought .him
face to face with the same mane -still
shoveling snow. He stopped, spoke to
him, received a prompt and courteous
answer, talked a few minutes forthesake
of getting a few facts alsont his &history,
and. then asked the young man to call at,
his office. That night the shovel era
ended, anti the next day at the appoint-
-ed time, the young man was .closeted
with the millionaire. In one of the
latter's many enterprises there -was a
vacant place, and the young man who
.was willing to shovel got it.. It was a
small place, at a small salary, hut he
more than filled it ; he filled it well -in-
deed, that in a few months he was pro-
; meted, and at the end of three years .he
,wat at the head of the enterprise, nt a
large salary. He is there to -day, with
:the certainty that if he lives he wall
,eventually fill a position second in im-
portance to. none in the field in se -Melt he
is working. The story is all told in
, three ttords ; wining to shovel.

arty years since, which it was my good
fortune to spend in the same family

nati, where he was then President of
Lane Seminary, may be interesting even
if you have seen some of thein in print
before. _
One of the noblest traits of Dr. Beeela-
.-er was his perfect honesty. There was
hust a hit of -cant about him. He express-
ed religious feelings frankly; saying,
otot what he theught he ought to feel, as
Is so common, but what he really did
-feel, es en to the verge, sometimes, of
„seem -Mg -irreverence. One evening the
tdocter was driving down 'Walnut
eaccomputied by Mrs. Beecher, to, fulfill
...an engagement in Cincinnati. He drove
rapidly, as tusual--having replied to -
some one who found fault with hiut for -
so doing.that his time was of more value
than the life •:f a horse. On this even-
ing, leek ever, rapid driving showed its
danger, for iA the dark the doctor's
ituggt rollided with something, and its
oecupents were violently thrown out.
Asssoon as they had collected themselves
sufficiently to kuow that no hones -Were
broken Mrs. Beecher remarked,
" W' -ll: we ought to be thankful that
we oire out more hart." " Humph !"
gi attry i•-jaculated the doctor; " you can
do at you please, but I'm a good deal
hurt teytelf."
The iii ctor was very fond of water-
meloat, and took great delight in (set-
ting them himself. Some of the most'
brilliant displays of wit and wisdom I
ever heard from him were while he was
p•reaiding at the dinner table with a

tom t. 4.) to his Maury, for vending and
titer supper at eveuing. When
an hour since, saying I must come al

suppose it's all here except the part wit

gesture imitating Dr. Beecher's marine
of taking this position. What th'
meant to an audience accustomed to li
ten to Dr. Beecher may be imagine(
But Dr. Stowe had at least got his at
thence into good humor.
His occasional absence of mind et s
amusingly illustrated at one of a cams
of afternoon temperance lecturewhiet
he delivered in Cincinnati ; :for he was
pioneer in that cause. Driving in froi
Walnut Hills, he fastened his horse in -
posite the entrance to the lecture root'
in which he was to speak. Coming o t
with- his mind full of his subject, n
doubt, he got into his buggy and a
tempted to drive off without unfastenin
the horse. Of course the latter form
difficulty in proceeding, and tke doct e r
resorted to his whip for better persw
sion. At that instant a drunken ma I
happened to come reeling along the side
Walk. Taking in the situation he ba -la
eed himself as best he could, and blur
ed out: "What you do -hi' there, yo
drunken beast? Get out o' that svagoi
and untie your horse ?" The doe r
looked. at the man, and then at h s
horse's head, and for once seemed sta
gered for a reply—at least, he' make
none, and was about getting out, wile
one of his recent audience, in the pre
