Peter Cartwright.

A remarkable character was Peter Cart
wright lie was great anti-slavery man,
ard struck right aud left TO all who opposed
him. One day, on approaching the ferry.
across the river Illinois, he heard the ferry
man swearing terribly at the sermons of Pc
ter Cartwright, and threatening that if ever
/ be had to ferry the preacher across. and knew
him, he would drown him in the river. Pc
ter unrecognized, said to the ferryman:
Stranger, | want you to put me across
Wait till | am ready said the ferryman
aud pursued his conversation and structures
upon Peter Cartwright Having finished,
be turned to Peter aud said:
Now, III put you across.
On reaching the middle of the stream, Pc
ter threw his horses bride over a stake in
the boat, and told the ferryman to let 60 his
pole.
What for : asked the ferryman.
|. We'll, you've just been using my name
improperlike and said if ever l came this
way you would drown me Now you've got
a chance.
Is your name Peter Cartwright asked
the ferryman.
My name IS Peter Cartwright 2
Instantly the ferryman seized the preacher,
but he did not know Peters strength, for
Peter instantly seized the ferryman. one hand
on the nape of his neck, aud the other at the
seat of his trowsers. and plunged him in the
water, saying:
Il taptize thee (~plasb) in the name of the
devil, whose chilG thou art
Then lifting him up. Peter added
Did you ever pray:'
No
Then its time you did
Never will answered the ferryman
Splash splash and the ferrynan is IN the
depths again.
Will you pray now ! asked Peter.
The gasp:ng victim shouted
III DO anything you bid me-
Then follow me-.0ur Father which art
10 Heaven &c. Having acted as clerk,
repeating after Peter, the ferryman cried
Now let me go
Not yet said Peter, you must make me
three promises that you will repeat
that prayer morning and evening as long as
you live secondly, that you viii hear every
pioneer preacher that comes within five miles
of this ferry aud thirdly, that you viii put
every Methodist preacher over free of ex-
pense. Do you promise and VOW 2
i promise, said the ferryman-
And strange to say, thai man afterwards
