the foreigner is surprised to find shops all over

up in pieces about the size Of a mans finger,
aud done up in bundles, as matches we're in
the days Of the Undertook, steel and flint
They are about the size of bunch of aspara-

Mrs. Wesley's Maternal instructor.

She was an admirable woman OF highly
improved mind, and Of strong masculine uil-
Outstanding, an obedient wife, an exemplary
mother, feryent Christian. The marriage
was blest in all its circumstances it was con-
tracted in the prime Of their youth it was
fruitful and death did not divide them till
they were both full of days: They had NO
less than nineteen children; but only three
soHs and three daughters seem to have grown
up and it is probably to the loss of the 9th
ers that the father refers in one of his letters,
where he says that be has suffered things more
grievous than death.
The Manner in which these children were
taught to read, is remarkable Mrs Wesley
thus describes her peculiar method in letter
to her son John
None of them were taught to read till tise
years old, except Kezzy, in whose case was
oyerraled and she was more years in learning
than the rest had been months. The way of
teaching was this: The day before the child
began to learn, the house was set in order, ey-
cry cne'. work appointed them, and charge
given; that none should come into the room
from nine till twelve, or from two till five,
which were ctr school hours One day was
allowed the child wherein to learn it's letters,
ard each of them did in that time know all its.
letters, great and small except Molly and Nan
ey, who we're day and half before they
knew them perfectly, for which then thought
them very dull but the reason why / thought
them so, was because the rest learned them 10
readily, and your brother Samuel, who was the
FIRST child ever taught, learnt the alphabet in
a few hours He was Ave years old the 10Th

to PREACH an aaAnal sermon for the Reneye-

relieving the Sick Poor at their own habita-
lions" selecting, at the same time, few Of
the most remarkable cases to be read to his

Strange as it may appear, he was waited on
a few months after this, by one Of the mem
bers of the church, soliciting his kind assist

then vacant in that parish and district, viz, a
collector of the kings taxes the person urged
that it would be the making of hin, and his
family, but that he must have two boadsn,en

he would consider of it: This petitioner was
well known to Mr.. Hill he had long held q
confidential situation in his chapel, and was,
besides; ia coed trade and connection of busi-
ness, with his friends: There was nc reason to
doubt his integrity and hewas one that Mr..
Hill was anxious to oblige The result was

Downward in the eddying circles,
SAT- as the footsteps of angels,
On the dark face Of the earth they fell
Changing its darkness to Brightness
Clothing is bosom with whiteness,
Silently Horking like magical spell.
White winged spirits Of beauty,
Pure - the hearts of the holy,
Wslcomly come to our dwelling terrestrial,
Hiding its stains with mantle,
White as the garments of spirits,
Bright as the walls of the city celestial:
By tbs kind labors of nature,
Though the spring, summer, and autumn,
Earth has been beautiful, man has been blest
Now let her silently slumber

Peacefully clothe her, o mantle of rest!

Ethan Allen.

That Deism can afford its adhersnts no sup
port in the hour of trial and death, is striking.
.ly apparent from the following narrative
Gen. Ethan Allen, the hero of Ticonderega,
q brave officer in the Indian, French and Rev
olutionary wars, was brave and renowned
soldier and patriot, but an avowed deist and
skeptic in religion. He wrote several works
against Christianity, one of which he published,
terrning it his Bible How invaluable they
were to him or his, or how small share of
confidence he had in them whom danger tried
their reality, appears in the history of the last
interview which took place between himself
and daughter
When old and grey-headed, he was engaged
in reading some one of his skeptical works to
to an intimate friend, who as on a visit to
his house, he received intimation that his
daughter, whom be tenderly loved, was ill., and
at the point of death. His wife, being picus
woman, had instructed this, her child, in the
principles and practices of our holy Christiani-
ty. When her venerable and noble father ar
rived and approached her bedside, she threw
qer arms around his muscular neck, and pressing
her fevered, tear-wet cheek upon HIS all fur
rowed with age and Scared in battle--strng-
Cling in the wild commissions of deaths last
embrace, she said, Father, am about to
die, have sent for you that you might receive
my last kiss, and tell me-shall 90 into eter-
nifty believing what you, by precept and exam
Pile, have taught met or shall believe what
my mother has taught me 7" The old veteran
father had faced the fee in personal encounter
and on many bloody field undaunted, he had
heard the balls ard felt not muscle quiver-now
before his dying. cliild, he became agitated and
quailed as does RI expiring culprit, before the
shadowy hopelessness of his own belief His
trrenblngy-uttcred reply was" My daugh-
2-x @ my dying daughter, "aand he ciasped
her sraa form in his brawny arms, asd pressed
her to his SCARED and heaving bosom, " Ny

Could he have done SO, no doubt be at that
moment would have blotted out every infdel

MARRIAGE IN New ZrlLASD-We are inform
ed by Mr.. Taylor missionary in New Zeal
and that there is NO such thing as marriage
ceremony amcng the Maori The ancient, ant
almost general way, of obtaining a wife; wa
for the gentleman to summon his friends, and
make q regular ' taua", Or fight, to carry of
the lady by force; and cftimes with great VIC
lence. Even when girl was bestowed in mar
riage by her parents, frequently some distant
relatives would feel greiEed, and fancy that
they had greater right to her as d wife Of
one of their tribe. or if the girl had eloped
with some one on whom she had placed her af
fecticns, then her father or brothers would re-
fuse their consent, and, in either case, would
carry a taua against the husband and his
friends, to gain possession of the girl, either by
persuasion Or force, IF confined in house,
they would pull it down; and if they got access
then fearful contest would ensue: The unfor-
tunate female; placed thus between two con-
tending parties, would soon be Invested Of eve
ry rag Of clothing and thus would be seized BY
hef head hair or limbs, and as those who con-
tended for her became tired with the struggle
fresh combattants would supply their places
from the rear, climbing over the shoulders Of
their friends, and SO edge themselves into a
mass Immediately around the woman whose
cries and shrieks would be UNDECIDED by them.
In this way, the poor creature was often neariy
torn to pieces These savage contests some
times ended in the strongest party bearing off
the naked person Of bis bride in triumph and
in some cases, after long season Of suffering,
,skS recovered to be given % person for whom
she had ne affection ia others to die within q
few E6ufs from the injuries she bad received:
But It 4 NOT uncommon for the weaker party
when they fad they cannot psesail; to end
the contest By pInnging spear into the NO
mans breast, to hinder her from becoming the
property Of another. Even in the case where
il an vas agreeable, it was customary for the
bridegroom to 90 with party, and to take
her away by force, her friends Yielding fef up
after feiened struggle: A few days after
the parents of the lady with all hef relatives,
aame I'd the bridegroom for tile pretended abb
duction After much speakinn and apparent
anger, the marriage concludes with feast.
