CONVERSION OF SENATOR WILSON.

The religious conversion Of Senator
Wilson, which some have affirmed aud
others have denied, is announced by the
Senator himself 10 the following remarks
made by him at a revival meeting at Ma
tick, Mass, last week. Senator Wilson
was one Of the frat 10 rise. and he spoke
In substance as follows: lie felt that he
owed il to himself, to bis friends about
him, and TO the cause Of his Redeemer,
to say few words, though he did it with
some reluctance. For more than 80
years be had attended the services of God
on that spot, aud had listened to hun
dieds of sermons. He had been ceDvin-
ced Of the truths thus set forth, and had
20 excuse TO offer for so long delaying to
give his personal attention TO this sub
ject. He bad never shielded himself by
1R6deliiys or defended his position by
that poorest Of all excuses-the faults of
protesting Christians. Whenever ad
dressed personally on the subject, as he
had often been by friends from various
parts Of the country, he had always felt
guilty before God and yet be had lived
more than so years rejecting God. He
of faith, and bad often stood by dying
soldiers and longed to speak soma word OF
Christian comfort aud cheer in their ears,
but could not. He mad stood by the
graves of those he loved best, and thought
how often those lips, now cold in death,
had bTeaIhed his name 10 heaven. He
trusted that 10 answer TO the prayers of a
dear dead wife, of those dear departed
ones, and Of other dear friends, he had
row found abiding peace. He would not
exchange the nUPs for any earthly hon
ors. He had enjoyed more peace and as
suranee the past weskthan at any other
period of his life. He gave himself. all
he bad and all he hoped for, to his Lord
and Master, if anything bad been kept
back he prayed that it might be revealed
to him. The Senator was particularly
glad TO see so many young men coming
forward1in this good work, and called up
on his neighbors and friends not to delay
In making their peace with God. Scar

any rate as he felt himself to be, he reioi-

Where are those heads now? Some that

bleached with time and cares and the feet
have grown sore and weary on the rough
paths of life.
Perhaps some little one once tenderly
