Response Of Peter Cartwright at the
Cartwright Festival.

Mr. Cartwright was introduced, and
was received with many ex pressions Of
applause. He had been called strong
man, but to-day he felt weak as child
SO overcome was he by this manifesto
ton Of the love and esteem Of his fel,
low christians. He was the Oldest
preacher in the Methodist Church now
engaged in the ministry. For sixty five
years he had labored for his Lord and
Master, and during that time he had
only received at three times the amount
allowed him by the church. He had the
oldest preachers wife in the world, and
had lived happily with her for so years
He had seven children and sixty grand
and great-grandchildren He was born
in Virginia, and had been II citizen of
the West from the time he was six years
old. and he is now eighty. five years old
He had no language to describe the sit
had suffered much in body, mind and
purse. He had been caught five hund-
red miles from home, in strange land,
with an old blind horse, and seventy five
cents in his pocket. He had never been
officially complained of in quartz rly
meeting but once. In his young days
he wore knee brecches and top boots
AT the first Conference he ever attended
complaint was laid against him for
corrupting the morals of the people by
wearing pair of suspenders, and they
sent him home. But the Lord always
provides for the lazy and His lame, and
be found that Bishop McKen;'ree had
INDUCED in the same luxury He was
then shouting, happy enough. When
he entered the ministry there was but
one college bred preacher, and he was
only half bred. Through the efforts of
DR. Akers he got d. D. stuck to his nam @
and that day he was taken with a bad
pain in his back. and he rather thouoht
1t arose from his title. He was a poor
soldiers boy, and his only son. There
was but one mill within forty miles, and
no paper in the country. His father
wanted to make an educated man of
him, but he missed it badly. When it
pleased God to give him religion, it was
of the true backwoods style. He knew
he had obtained the pardon OF his sins,
and the knowledge Of that had sustain
ed him in all trials. He had preached
as many sermons as any living man, al
though he could not say how good they
were. He hailed with delight the sue
cess of all who preached the true Cos
pei, He had not strength to labor as a
regular preacher, and he now entirely
dissolved his connection with the church
as travelling preacher; and. notwitn
standing the crosses, trials and troubles
of a travelling preacher, he would rath-
er be one than President of the United
States and glory be to God, He sus-
tains US all, if we have His love in our
hearts !; and he bids farewell to his
brethren with much love and feeling
He did not originate this jubilee and is
not worthy Of it. After long, hard life,
he had performed nothing but his duty.
Farewell, farewell. I ask your sympa-
thy and prayers for an cid man who has
spent his life in Gods service; and may
God bless you now and forever more

They laid the young child the grandmohers knee,
A beautiful boy, mmo tality's heir;
His brow . pure page from iife's handwriting free,
His heart yet untroubed by sorrow or care.
The grandmother bent o 'er the f. r little form,
Aua smiled sweet welcome caressing and warm;
Then laying her hand on the inn ocent head,
oh bless it and save it, she tenderly said.
The tocsin Of battle was heard far and wide,
The young soldier knelt at his grandmoth knee,
And, lifting his brow her fond kiss of pride,
Said, Grandmother, hast thou no blessing for me:'
She bent her kind face, well stricken in years,
And Ike q new baptism fast fell her tears,
As clasping her hands DER the manly young head,
% bless him and save him., she fervently plead.
The combat was over-the wounded and slain
Lay CORY and grim where their spirits had sped
The whispering winds tina. stole over the plain,
Grew dumb in the horr ble hush of the dead!
There, fair in his slumber $ brave in his life,
The soldier youth lay mid the wrecks Of the strife;
iIis lip which the battle had robbed OF its breath,
Still smied as it froze meath the finger of Death.
Woe -mautled the living came seeking him there;
They bore the young form to the grandmother's
Her wrinkied hands amoothed out the battle-tossed
hair,
And she kissed the brave lips which smiling had
died!
Again the swift tears from the aged eyes fell
Der the darling her old heart had cherished so well;
Then, kueeng to pray Tor the young spirit sped,
% bless i. and it, she solemnly said.
% bless it and save it'-her eloquent prayer,
How joyeth the heart in its beautiful lIghu

A meaning which ccmpasseth all in His sight.
To be saved from the bows and breakers OF life,
To be blessed amid worldly temptations and strife;
To be saved when all this that is earthly is Ger

The excitement in regard to the arti-
Gle written by Mrs. Stowe on the sub
ject of Lord and Lady Byron has not
abated. The newspapers still TEEN with
correspondence on the subject A let
no instance in history has any one told
q most unpalatabie truth and repented
Of his handiwork. When tie first flush
Of Indignation subsidies. all thank the
author and publisher for telling the
truth Mrs. Stowe unvailed secret
formerly carefully guarded by few,
and restored virtue and vice to their
proper places. In future 1t will be re-
membered that by her courage there is
one imposture less in the world
Mr.. Wentworth writes to The Pail
Mall Gazette to-day in the matter of the
Stowe Byron scandal. He says Lady
ing does not contain an accusation as
grave as Mrs Stoves. Mrs. Stoves
story is Inconsistent with Lady Byron's
letters. Mr.. Wentworth concludes his
letter with following words: Il cannot
allow that Mrs. Stoves statement is
substantially correct
Tho Atheneum, believing in Mrs.
Stoves high principles, hopes for her
denial Of the receipt of a honorarium
for the story. 1t is sure she holds. with
all moralists, that gold unworthily earn
ed leaves an indelible stain.

The Dead Baby.

Close the blue eyes that are azng SO coldly,
Put back the rnglets that shadow his brow,
Fold DER his bosom the pale tiny fingers,
And cover the shoulders, SO beautiful now.
Kiss the soft lips that are silent forever,
Fold up the dress, that was stainless and white,
Draw down the curtains, and close all the window
Let not the glare shining and bright.
Clasp in his fingers the pure meadow lilies.
Take of the slippers all trodden and worn;
Hang up tho hat with its huttering ribbons,
Lay down the apron, on thorn bushes torn.
Baby has gone from the valley so fearful,
Poor little feet! they weary and sore,
But nov, he has passed DER the cold, silent river.
And he's resting his feet on the Heavenly shore.
