A NOVEL MODE of drawing people to
houses Of worship is coming into favor among
the Wesleyans of London. A monthly
sheet in the form of newspaper, is issued
and distributed gratuitouSly at all shops and
houses. In this paper the various services
connected with the chapel are advertised,
and while the outside is filled with business
and ether advertisements, the inside is de-
voted to short articles on religious and social
subjecs. The advertisements pay for the
gratuiOus distribution.

SCOTCH IRIu Reviewing
Horace Greeley's Recolections of a
Busy Life" 4 writer in the Alaatic says
of his parents, who were of Scotch Irish
descent, and lived in londonderry, New
Hampshire /:
They were people of religious creed
as hard as the granite hills, whose sterli-
ty kept them industrious and poor; but
they had warm hearts, and their lives OF
heavy toll were lightened by seasons OF
fun as broad as their accent 1t was a
strictly Puritan community. such as
should descend from the heroic London
derry of the memorable siege. "And
yet there was more humor, more play,
more fun, more merriment in that puri.
tan community, than can be found in
this anxious, p'odding age" They ceIe-
brated their weddings by boisterous re-
joic;ngs with firearms, eating drinking,
and dancing; they a0aked the dead, and
drank the mourners poor, so that, as the
author quantity remarks, it was fortunate
that they should have been so healthy
as to have very few deaths among them.
House raisings, corn-huskings, and a.
manner of excuses for merry making
were frequent, and generally improved
games requiring strenth rather than skill,
especially wrestling, with, | grieve to
say, some boxing,) were favorite pas
times. Yet these frolickers we've all

bath. patient church goers. and faithful
in family prayer and the reading of tho
Scriptures. They were honest and truth

ment, aud rice versa. The tribe were
astonished; and after little wavering,
and his assurance of using no supernat-
ural powers, they allowed him 10 instruct
some of the youths Of the tribe. After
several months interval, the youths were
brought forward, and, amid great pspu
lar excitement, were tested and examined
in as many ingenious ways as the cum
ming Indians could suggest; but the
youths proved themselves masters of their
new art.
His discovery led to the printing of
the New Testament 10 the Cherokee Ian
guage; in 1925, the United States cast
font of type from his invention, and
even printed a newspaper from it (The
Pheuix). The capitals differ from the
small letters only in being made little
larger. The missionaries brought in the
use of Arabic numerals, although See
quo-lah had invented numerals to CORES
pond.
He afterwards expressed his regret
that his invention should have been pro-
NOTED to undermine the principles of his
Indian religion. He never became a
Christian. When his tribe were obliged
to move out of Georgia, he accompanied
them to their new home in Arkansas.
We next hear OF him in Northern Mexi
co, snd then at San Francisco, where he
died at the age of seventy-eight, in Au-
gust, lS43.
