METHODIST IN THE UNITED STATEs-The editor
of the Zions Herald takes the following view of the
in this eGuny HE old
In the incredibly short space Of eighty years
it has built four thousand two hundred and twenty
churches, (Which is little less than one for every
week of her exstence) at cost of fourteen millions
seven hundred and thirty thousand five hundred and
seventyone dollars. 1t has also erected and endow-
ed its colleges and numerous academies with large
sums. 1t has built innumerable parsonages, and
supplied itself with Church and Sabbath School lit
erature. Now most of these churches, having been
newly erected rebuilt, or remodelled, and most of
these vast OUTLAWS having been made within the last
quarter of century, we think it exaggeraon to
estimate the expenditures of Methodism in the Uni
ted States for home purposes, at an average very
little short of one million of dollars per for
the last twenty five years in addition to that it has
paid for the support of its ministry"

Doc IN CHURcH.-An amusing incident occur
red at one Of the churches in a neghboring village
lat Sunday afternoon. Just rs the services were
about 10 commence good sized dog was observed
be sauntering about the aisles probably in search
y bis master After making pretty thorough ex-
animation of the aises, he assembled to the pulpit,
passing up the stairs side, and down the
other But not having attained the object of his
search, or satisfied his curiosity. he again assembled
the stairs, and took the same route, but with no
better success. Again he assembled the steps, but
instead of passing through the pulpit he took po-
idOn the upper step, where, settling himself up
on his launches, he deliberately surveyed the con-
pgation for some minutes, during which time a
IauSe ensued, in which it seemd doubtful whether
The audience would litter outright, or the dog be-
gin to bark. At length, after waiting in vain tor
the sexton 10 appear, one of the good deacons re-
solved to expel the intruder. But the dog as if an
iCpating his intentions, took his old route through
be pulpit, and as the deacon passed up one Side,
the dog went down the other. This was repeated
two or three times, to the no small amusement of
The assembled congregation. The deacon at last
Rzed the dog hy the neck, and the way he marched
DOWN the broad aisle was enough to make phllOs-
pher smile. This having been accomplished, the
services were commenced with all the gravity it
was possible to attain under the circumstances.

Better trust all and be deceived,
And weep that trust, and that deceving,
Than doubt one heart, that if believed
Had blessed ones life with true believing.
Oh, in this mocking world, too fast,
The doubling iend o'ertakes our youth
Better be cheated to the last,
Than lose the blessed hope of truth.

Pete MILESTONE and the Mail Boy,

Pete MILESTONE, Of Arkansas was travelling
On horseback through the interior of the State and
allied one evening to stay all night at little log
house near the road, where entertainment and a
post ONCE were kept Two other strangers were
there, and the mail rider rode up about dark Sup
rer being over, the mail carrier and the three gen.
tIemen were invited into small room furnished
with good fire and two BEDS which were to accom-
modate four persons for the night. ? he mail car
er was little shabby, dirty, lousy looking wretch
with whom none Of the gentlemen liked the idea of
,Ieeping Pete Milestone eyed him closely as he
asked
Where do you sleep tonight my lad ~
"IIl thleep with you, reckon isped the youth,
aOr with one O. them other fellerS | don't care
which"
The other two gentlemen took the hint and &C.
,uped one of the beds together Immediately, leav-
ng the other bed and the confab to be enjoyed by
Pete and the mail boy together as best they could
Pete and the mail boy both commenced hauling off
their buds, and Pete getting in bed first, and wish.
ing to get rid of sleeping with the boy, remarked
very earnestly-"my friend I'll tell you before
hand rUe got the Hch and you'd better not get in
here with me, for the disease is catching"
The boy, who was just getting in bed too, drawIed
m very coolly Is wal reckon that don't make bit
difference, I've had it now for nearly these thew
en- years., and into bed he pitched along with Pete,
who pitched out in as great hurry if he had
yaked up a hornets nest in the bed The other two
gentlemen roared. and the mail boy who had got
relceable possession of bed to himself, drawled
out" why you must be tibet O. darned fuse-
nam and dads got the each a heap wurth than is,
and they thept in that bed last night when they
we're here at the quilting"
The other two strangers were now in worse pre-
fcamen than Pete had been, and bouncing from
their nest like the house had been on fire, stripped
bOok their clothes, put them again. ordered their
brscS, and though it was nearly ten o'clock, they
al three left, and rode several miles to the next
town before they slept, leaving the imperturbabe
mai carrier to the bliss of scratching and sleeping

OLD MoRTALITY.-The following curious para

Jerome Bonaparte, the only surviving brother of
the great Napoleon, married, in the United States

Robert Patterson, better known in Scotland and in

counts, native of the parish of Closeburn,
Dumfriesshre, though. according to Others the par
ish of Hawck claims to be his birthplace. At all
events he settled, before commencing his wellknown
wanderngs renovating the tombsones of the COW
enanters, in Morton, the adjoining parish to Close
burn, and married Elizabeth Gray. acho for
a considerable time a cook maid IN the family Of the
KWkpotricks of CIoseburn. Old Mortality's wife,
with her children settled in Balmaclelan, Kircud-
brghtshire and the third son. John, emgratcd to
America in l776. and established at Baltimore Je-
rome Boraparte married his daughter. Truly truth
is stranger than fiction! This story, with the ex-
cepton of the last link, seems sufficiently vouched
for by the researches of the late Mr. Joseph Train
of Castle Douglass. the result of which Sir Walter
Scott has embodied in his introduction to Old Nor
tality' Library Edition of the Waverley Novels
vel. v, PIP. So But though that introduction
bears the date of 1929, it makes no alluson to the
circumstances that the Miss Elizabeth Patterson, of
New York whom the future king Of Westphalia
married in 1903, was the daughter of John Patter-
son, of Baltimore, and the grand daughter of Sir
Thomas Kirkpatrick's cook. And now a descend
ant of the Krkpatrick's is Empress Eugene of
