REV. JOHN WESLEY.

Iphat may De done by Industrious Ha6its.- MT Wesley, the venerable founder of the Methodist denomination, is universally allowed to have been an extraordinary and highly dis tinguished character. Whatever may be thought of his peculiar sentiments, no one can deny him the credit of truly apostolic zeal and benevolence in what he conceived to be the way of duty. For upwards of fifty years he travelled eight thousand miles each year on an average, visiting his numerous socie- ties, and presided at forty-seven annual con- ferences. For more than 60 years, 1t was his constant practice to rise at o'clock in the morning, and nearly the whole of that period to preach at five. He generally preached near 20 times week, and frequent iy four times day. Notwithstanding this, very few have written more volumnously than he divinity, both contr oversal and prac- tical history, philosophy, medicine, politics,
 poetry, &c, were all, at different times, the subjects on which his pen was employed.- Besides this, he found time for reading, cor responding, visiting the sick, and arranging the matters of his numerous society; but such prodigies of labor and exertion would have been impossible, had it not been for his in- flexible temperance and unexampled econo- my of time. Yet, to suppose that he had no failing or that he was free from faults would be absurd but after viewing his sufferings, and the extreme of his success, with an un- preiudiced mind, it is impossible to deny him the character of singularly great and wor- thy man. In 1761 he finished his career in the 88th year of his age. In the course of which time he preached near 1000 sermons and tra- yelled about 400, ,000 miles.- Worcester Ken.

Palm leaf Hats.-Most of readers have no idea probably of the extent to which the manufac. ture of Palm leaf hats is carried in this State. In several towns we might mention, from twenty to fifty thousand are annually made. Two establish ments in Barre, those of Messrs Wood & Lee sent to market last year, seventy-fve thousand each. It is calculated the last year there were made in New England nine hundred thousand at the present year two millions of this species of hats. They arc sold for about three dollars dozen, and shipped to where they form favorite article of summer wear Boston Trdceler.

 It is supposed that the Nationals and Anti Mason c parties will be nearly balanced in the Legislature The old federal party in Massachusetts have gene rally gone for Ant-Masonry, with view of destroy ing MT Clay.
