An English gentleman travelling
through our western country writes from
Niagara to friend in this city as follows:
MY trip SO far has been pleasant, and
it has done me so much good that lshould
have been glad to prolong it if for no 9th
er reason than to study the suggestive
facts and magnificent movements which
the western country offers at every step
to tho thoughtful traveller. l was shown
day or two ago large tract adjoining
Lake Erie, which, two and half years ago,
was swamp, malarious, subject to no
human will, overlooked frequently by the
waters of this great inland sea. Now, this
worthless, pestilential swamp is protecA
ted by u breakwater, and the wonders
working hand of man has erected on it a
thousand busy industries. On one cor
ner of it l saw iron works employing
eight hundred men, and adding hundreds
of thousands of dollars year to the ma
tional wealth. The croakers tell us tthe
nation is growing Impoverished by the
war and that we shall neither be able to
pay off our national debt nor even topro-
vide for the annual interest," Never was

The MARRIED LIFE OF JOHN WESLEY
When Wesley settled he said SIT would be
more useful to marry He married a
widow, who, through her Jealousy, led him
a life OF wretcheduess and misery. AT last
his spirit was up, and he wrote to her
"Know me aud know yourself. Suspect
me no more provoke me no more; do not
any longer contend for mastery, for power,
money, OF praise; be content to be,a pri.
vate insignificant person, known and loved
by God and me-" 1t was not likely that
a woman would be pleased at being RECON-
mended to be an insigni6cant person. At
ter twenty years of disquietude she one
day left hims He bore. it philosophically,
He went even beyond it-he took his diary
and put the most pithy entry into it eve,
met with in diary: "NOn cam reliqui
non demisi, non reyocabon which may hG
translated thus: al did not leave her
did not send her away; shan't send fol
her back" Aud so ended the married life
of John Wesley.

some violence from the walls of the cav.
