Pen and Ink Sketches.
PETER CARTWRIGHT.


A corrugated man is he, tall, strong
limbed, broad headed, broad-hatted.
His face is as thick lined with wrinkles
as that of his Eastern prototype in wit
and wisdom, Father Taylor. Great
ridges are piled up over face and fore
head, as if the spirit within had up
heaved its fiery lava into these noun
famous lines. His remarkable face
may have been to his hearers re-
freshment; the fiat face of their coun-
try having been pleasantly contrasted
with the'rugged face of their favorite.
These shaggy features are crested
with more shaggy hair. 1t is yet but
slightly gray, and almost rustles as it
seems to fly around his head in its wild
confusion. From under the heavy
covered brows, and from within mass
Of rigid flesh, flash out two sharp
black eyes. ''Like to an owl in ivy
bush" those eyes might compare
themselves, only they are anything
but owl-like in their character. Even
in their ashes of eighty years
live their wonted fires. He is the
Oldest member of the Conference, both
in years and as a delegate. Since
1916 with one exception he has been a
member of every General Conference.
Bishop Morris is his only rival in this
honor, He takes but little part in de-
bate, and his presence is rather rem
iniscenee than a prophecy; rather a
tree of grand proportions, whose
growth and fruitage are largely ac-
complished, than one which is yet
sending forth new shoots and pro-
ducing fresh harvests. Yet his branch
es are not without some new fruit.
His progress is more marked in this
respect than that of some younger
men. He sees events, and God in
them, with growing elearness of
vision, and on many rising questions
shows sOundness Of wisdom that is
likely to give his closing hours
brighter radiance than his midday
glory. The noon was clouded with
the darkness, not Of slavery, which he
always hated, but of the duty of the
Church toward it. But at leventideis
light. DIV bee eml @ = '1s
DR.. Slioer is a powerful man, of
portly frame, high and somewhat re-
treating forehead, very firm-set mouth,
very smooth face, light and abundant
hair, Of sanguine, ford complexion,
and temperament Of the Saxon, not
Southern type. He is ready, able
speaker, and as fond Of debate as a
war-horse Of battle. He has done
good service to our Church in Balti-
more in one respect. When the South
ern tide beat against its walls, and
swept into the gulf Of secession such
leaders as Thomas Sergeant and
Thomas E. Bond (son Of the former
editor Of the Christian advocate ], and
much Of the wealth and talent Of the
Church and the ministry and when the
timfdity which had attended its move
ments concerning slavery was reeeiv-
ing its just punishment in the blanched
faces and hearts which this invasion
caused, then the man who had fought
ebolitionisn the most Gercely OF any
Of our ministry fought secession with
equal courage and with betRr success,
for this time he was on the lside Of
God. At his house was organized the
movement which resulted in the pub
lie meeting at Eutaw street that saved

Need Shaking.

My watch stops; something is broken
in it. / take it to the watch maker,
and he puts in new handspring. l
do not know anything about it, except
that he does i. And when it is repair
ed he lays it aside. Presently go
for my watch, and ask him if it is
done. sob yes,'' he says, ''but do
not know that it is going" And he
takes it, and finding that it does not
go, he winds it up, and then it does
not go, perhaps; but he gives it lit
tie shake, and it commences ticking
and keeping time.
And know many persons that have
a handspring in them, and that have
been wound up, for that matter, but
that have not been shaken yet And
there they are. If somebody would
only take them up and whirl them
round few times, and say to them,
. You are Christians; tick +! tick -
they would commence keeping time.
/ have known persons that spent
months and months, not only making
no progress, but losing ground, just
for want of knowledge of the fact that
the office of the Lord Jesus Christ was
to take people in order that they might
be good, and that it was his nature,
after he had taken them, to be patient
with them, and help them, and bring
all the power of his being to bear upon
them TO save them. Henry Ward
Beecher.

Tight Lacing.

1t is trite but correct remark that
as the human form has been nodded
by nature, the best shape is undoubt-
edly that which she has given it. To
endeavor to render it more elegant by
artificial means is to change ito
make it much smaller below and much
larger above is to destroy its beauty;
to keep it cased up in a kind Of domes-
tic cuirass is not only to deform it, but
to expose the internal parts to serious
injury. Under such compression as is
commonly praoticed by ladies', the de-
velopment of the bones, which are still
tender, does not take place conform
ably to the intention of nature,
because nutrition is necessarily
stopped, and they consequently be-
come twisted and deformed. Those who
wear these appliances of tight lacing
often complain that they can not sit
upright without them-are sometimes,
indeed, compelled to wear them during
all the twenty-four hours fact which
proves to what an extent such articles
weaken the muscles of the trunk. The
injury does not fall merely on the in
ternal structure of the body, but also
on its beauty, and on the temper and
feelings with which that beauty is as
ISOLATED. Beauty is in reality but
another name for expression Of coun-
tenance which is the index of sound
health, intelligence, good feelings, and
peace of mind. All are aware that
uneasy feelings, existing habitually in
the breast, speedily exhibit their sig
nature on the countenance, and that
bitter thoughts or bad temper spoil
the human expression of its comeli-
ness and grace, ........

plete absorption by its South
ern foe. 1t escaped so as by
fire. 1t is rescued from Sodom,
but it is too much yet in the condition
of Lot after his deliveranoe, feeble
and timid, seeking not the society of
its faithful kinsman, Abraham, who
dwells in the hill country to the north
ward, but abiding still in the hills
that overlook the fatal plain. DIR.
Slicer, we trust, having gone thus far,
will go yet further. Let him head the
column for breaking up the wicked
and weak distinctions between breth-
rem which his churches and conferences
now maintain. Maryland has four
conferences, and is asking for fifth
upon her little territory. They
ought to be all reduced to one or two,
and would be but for the fear and
trembling of the white ministers at
doing the simple duty of men and
Christians. Mr.. Slicer knows no fear
nor trembling. His conference is far
in advance of its Southern and even
of its Northern neighbor in that first
born Of faith-virtue, manliness,
courage, pluck. If he would but say
the word the eolored churches and
ministers in the bounds of his confer
ence would be absorbed by his confer
ence, and the regeneration of Mary
land be well begun. DR.. Slicer is a
hard but generous foe, hospitable and
affable, earnest of conviction, bold Of
speech, warm of heart. A Peter in
character, who, when he is fully con.
verified, will nightly strengthen hi;

We are told that some colored men
are joining the Ku-Klux Democratic
party. To such we commend the fol-
lowing items from orthodox Demo
cratic papers:
The Day Booz: says this in refer
ence to the effort in the South to coax
freedmen to vote for "0ld Massa -
sit seems that in every case where the
Conservatives expected to get nigger
votes they failed, and the mongrels
have carried the day. Of course they
have done SO, and ought to do so, and
if there are men who fancy themselves
Democrats so stupid and SO base as to
appeal to niggers, they will be re-
Warded exactly as they have been re-
warded in South Carolina, Georgia,
etc. Alabama, with more to contend
with than any other State, defeated
the obscene and devilish wretches who
sought to force a mongrel constitution
on that State in the only way possible
to do such a thing-that is. by refus-
ing absolutely to recognize negroes
as an element of political society,

A REVERIE.

There's charm in the glimmering moon
light
That entrances the soul by its spell;
While thought, on its airy pinions,
Goes fitting DER mountain and dell,
To that land of the mystic hereafter,
Ever sheltered by azure-hued skies,
Where no darkening clouds, but rose-tinted,
With their golden margins arise.
How readily fancy doth picture
Scenes of freshness and beauty alonei
For this light, so soft yet so radiant,
Isa mantle of charity, thrown
Over all of this earth's imperfectiona;
And as nature SO faultless appears,
How easily comes the forgetting
That cur life has its sorrow or tears.
These trees, clad in foliage of silver,
with Innings OF emerald green,
Are more beautiful far than when ba5king
In the glare Of the suns bright sheen.
The blue dome is more closely arching
Our world than IL MONDAY light,
For the tree tops are almost brushing
Yonder clouds Of snowy white.
Oh, heaven seems 50 much nearer
Than amid the hustle aud strife,
For the spirits vision is clearer,
And Il glimpse Of that better life
Which awaits us over the river
Is given, the weary to cheer;
And we rest with the view enraptured,
knowing not but that heaven is here.

The General Assembly has selected
for these responsible posts two stanoh
Republicans and honorable heightened
gentlemen. We did not succeed in
having the gentleman of our first
choice elected. Nevertheless, we
heartily aequiesce in the decision of
the cadcus. We hold party integrity
and discipline to be more essential to
our interests and liberties now than
any personal considerations Boilers
must be taught that if they will hazard
the being Of the party and the liberties
of the people by coquetting with rebels
and selling out the party, they will be
treated accordingly.
This is the only way in which we
can secure party success.-NeO Or

Admiral Sommes was lately called

Just before the Baltimore Convention a
few delegates called upon him pursuant to
appointment, and we found him free and
communicative as we'll as hopeful and
agreeable. One of our party asked his
opinion on the military situation. "Well,
gentlemen,1 said he, "Grant now has en-.
tire control, and can only relate o CONVEX
sation which had with him the other day.
He said his plan was to hold Lee and his
army in the vicinity of Richmond while he
sent Sherman through to destroy the Con-
federacy. / said to himn-and the sunbeam
played over the Presidents homely face,
making 1t appear positively handsome

technicalities Of your profession, but as
near as do understand you propose
to hold the leg while Sherman takes off the
skim. Yes, replied Grant, that is just
