fol- the apprehension of four negroes, who, it was
a.certaned, had found their way to Butler county,
and two men from Virginia had started, handful

and arrested them tied them and had proceeded
about seven miles on the back track with the tu-

/ JOHN WEsLEY.-Jehn Adams, ESQ. of Brooms
gave, in Worcestershire, Mrs Housman's only
bother, recollects having seen John Wesley at his
alher's house, at Ashby; he also heard him preach
| IN field adjoining. On this occasion his prayers
we're unusually short, not extending beyond pc
nod Of four minutes; and his sermon, which lasted
sircely half an hour, was plain, direct, and uninl-
pi;sioned. little before ten O'Clock at night Mr..
Wesley lighted his bed-candle and took out his
watch; and with the watch in enc hand and the
| candle in The other, continued talking at great
ate ull the hour was completed. He then abrupt
retired, leaving the conversation TO he resumed
the morning. Mr. Adams says that the popu-
IA portraits of the illrstrous Founder of Method

Thin as he is represented, nor did he wear his hair

MORAL PREcEPIs FROM THE HlSDoo LAW
The vital spirits of young man mount upward TO
depart from him when an elder approaches but
BY rising and salutation he RECEIVERS them
Youth, who habitualy greets and constantly reveres
be aged, obtains an increase of four things lie,
'nOwedse, fame strength.
Excessive eating is prejudcial to health to fame,
and to future bliss in Heaven; it is injurious 10 VIZ
ne and edious among men. For these reasons,
~ all means avoid it.
Wealth, kindred age, moral conduct and divine
cOwledge entitle men TO respect but the last
=nrioned in order is the NEST respectable.
Let not man be queruous, even though in pain;
| s him not injure arother in deed or In thought;
sshm not even utter word BY which his fellow
ssaturc may suffer uneasness; since that Will OBJ
iluct his own progress to future beatitude.
