PETER CARTWRIGHT AND WIFE.-Peter
Cartwright, who is serving his fftieth
year as Presiding Elder in the NJ. e.
Church, writes to the Central Christian
Advocate, from Pleasant Plains, Illinois:
"I think it quite probable that the
good Lord will give me my discharge
from labor, as my jubilee, before our
Conference at Lincoln, and, if SO, it is
my desire that this Conference remem-
Der my aged wife, her age being so next
August, 18th day. We were married
the 18th, 1908. She has. therefore,
been the wife of q travelling preacher
sixty-one years the 18th of next
August. We have lived together sixty
one years. She has borne up under all
the hardships, privations and poverty
of a travelling preacher for almost sixty
one years. Let the old pioneers of the
early days of Methodism say what suf-
ferings the wife of travelling preacher
must have gone through in that time,
for although 1 have been regular
travelling preacher sixty-fve years next
fall, I have never received my disci-
plinary allowance for support from the
Church but three years Of that long
travelling life ; and yet, thank God, I'd
rather have the comforts [ have enjoy
ed as poor, suffering, travelling
Method st preacher than to be Presi-
,dent Of the United States"

I WOULDN'T MARRY A MBCHANIC.-A
young man began visiting young
woman and appeared to be well pleas
ed. One evening he called when it
was quite late, which led the young
girl to inquire where he had been.
81 had to work to night "
What do you work for living !"
she inquired, in establishment.
Certainly" replied theyoung man,
am mechanic.
81 dislike the name of mechanic, /
and she turned up her pretty nose.
That was the last time the young
man visited the young woman. He is
now wealthy man, and has one of the
best women in the country for wife
The lady who disliked the name of a
mechanic is now the wife of misera-
BILE fool, regular vagrant about grog
shops, and the soft, verdant and mis-
cradle girl is obliged to take in wash
ing in order to support herseltRand
children.
You dislike the name of mechanic,
ell You, whose brothers are bat well
dressed loafers.
We pity any girl who has so little
brains, who is so verdant, so soft, as to
think less of young man for being a
mechanic-one of Gods noblemen-
the most dignifed and honorable per-
sonage of Heavens creatures. Beware,
young lady, how you treat young men
who work for a living, for you may
one day be mental to be one of them
yourself.
