Whitefleld's COurtship.

The celebrated George Whitefeld be- gan his courtship in singular fashion. His biographer pronounces him one of the oldest wooers that ever wooed. When Whitefeld was in America, and had under his charge the Orphan House in Savannah, "It was much impressed on his heart that he ought to marry in order to have helpmate in his arduous work" He had, also, fixed his mind on the young lady whom he intended to ask to become his wife. So he addressed a letter to her parents, and enclosed an other to herself. In his letter to her parents he stated that he wanted wife to help him in the management of his constantly increasing family, and then said "This letter comes like Abraham's servant to Rebekah's relations, to know whether your daughter, Miss E., isa proper person to engage in such an un- dertaking, and if so, whether you will be pleased to give me leave to propose marriage to her. You need not be afraid of sending me refusal for I bless God, If I know anything of my own heart, am free of that foolish passion which the world calls love-" He wrote in similar strain to the young lady, asking her, among many other ques- tions, if she could leave her home and trust in Him for support who feeds the young ravens, and bear the inclemen- cies of air both as to heat and cold in foreign climate whether, having hus- band, she could be as though she had none. He also told her that he thought the passionate expressions which ordi- nary courtiers use ought to be avoided by those who would marry in the Lord and that if she thought marriage woald in any way be prejudicial to her better part, to be so kind as to send him de- nial; that she need not be afraid to speak her mind, as he loved her only for God.
 The letters were not so successful as Abraham's servant. The parents were not very anxious to send their daughter on such an adventure, and Whitefeld continued for longer space in his bachelor condition. Some time after, he essayed another courtship, with widow in Wales, after the same style. The mode in which Rebekah was chosen for Isaac seems to have been Whitefeld's ideal of obtaining a wife. The week after he was married he went on one of his evangelistic tours, and left his newly welded wife to muse alone amid the Welsh hills in the second quarter of their honeymoon

 AN OLD MAN IN MICHIGAN BUILDS A
 SCHOONER TO SAIL BACK TO MAssA-
 CHUsETTs.
 The Saginaw (Mioh.) Courier says |: On the 21st of February the Courier told the story of the Patriarch's Pro- ject, and subsequent events render it's reproduction of interest. The name of the patriarch was Seth P. Ames, and he was relative of the somewhat cele- brated family of that name in Massa- chusetts, one of whom, Oakes Ames, will be remembered. MT. Ames was & native of New Bedford, and came to Michigan 13 years ago. When quite young he learned the trade of black smithing, and then turned his attention to ship-carpentering, an occupation he followed 40 years, the last two years in the trade being at the Charlestown (Mass.) Navy-yard during the war of the rebellion. When he removed to this State he located in the Township of Montrose, Genesee County, just over the Saginaw County line, on Flint Riv- CT, and turned his attention to agricul- ,tural pursuits. About five years ago MT. Ames conceived the idea of con- structing small schooner, and sailing back to his former home in the old Bay State. He had no money, but during the first year, as opportunity presented, gathered material for his project. Four years ago he commenced the work of building the craft, which he prosecuted under difficulties that would have de- tered any ordinary person, and his craft was recently completed. She is 60 feet keel; beam, IS feet 6 inches depth of hold, 6 feet inches, and is 62 tons bur den, according to Government measure ment. A year ago she was so far com pleted as to enable her builder to take up his residence in her cabin, and he re- sided there until few days ago. Every item of work in her construction was done by MT. Ames himself. She was made of the best material, the framing he did himself, even to placing in posi- tion the keelson, solid oak stick 10 by 12 inches and over 60 feet in length. Every nail and spike in this craft was manufactured by MT. Ames from bits of old iron picked up or given him by his neighbors {; in word, there is nothing in her composition that he did not fash ion and put in place with his own hands. Age and poverty beginning to tell on the old man, a short time since he aban- doned the idea of sailing his craft to Massachusetts, and offered her for sale. Last week the ice in Flint River went out, and with the aid of his neighbors the little craft was launched, and MT. Ames undertook to navigate her down the tortuous channel to this city. The work and exposure was task the old gentleman of 76 was unfitted to cope with he was taken ill and nervous pros tration following, he died on Friday. The funeral took place on Sunday. MT. Ames has two daughters married and re- siding in this city, and two in Massa- chusetts. His schooner was exp ected to reach this city last evening.

The Cattle-Drive for 1879.

The San Antonio (Texas) Express
 says: Several prominent stock-raisers and drovers have been in the city the
 past week or ten days, and they almost
 unanimously unite on an estimate of
 175, 900 to 200, ,00O head as the number of this years cattle-drive from Texas. The first number is considered low, and the last the greatest that can be ex- pected. The greater proportion of the drive will be yearlings and two-year olds. Prices are considered high, but holders are firm. The demand for cattle is very great, but the transactions have been rather light of late, many who came here to buy preferring to wait for better rates, or, failing in that, to take their chances after the cattle reach the North. The margin in the cattle-driving business IS now considered so close that buyers hesitate before they sign a con- tract. Profits are estimated by cents almost, where they were formerly cal by dollars. Cattle in Western Texas are scarce, and, with the little profit now made, there are many advo- cates of stopping the drive entirely for a few years, in order to restock the country and thereby reduce the supply, and consequently increase the demand in the North. This plan would, no doubt, be the money-making one if our stock-raisers could afford to wait but the eagerness to drive every hoof that can find Q market will keep the supply in Kansas so great that the prices neces- sary to make tho business here self sustaining will rem ain too high to make it safe for speculators to drive.

Why a Horse Baked.

A Hartford man recently bought @ young horse for $2OO. Within 8 week or two the horse began to act badly, and finally developed such balky disposi- tion that the new owner could do nothing with him. Persuasion of every kind and finally severe beatings were resorted to, but still the horse remained stub- born. At last, in desperate mood, the horse was taken to the original owner, who bought him back for $25. The cause of the whole trouble was soon dis covered. The horse had been broken to wear names collar, and had never worn any other kind-his new owner had put breast collar on him after using him a little while, and no one " happened to think" that this change had produced the sudden obstinacy in the animal. Wearing the collar to which he had been accustomed, the horse is all right again, and the gentleman who has got him back at profit of $175 in six weeks, considers him worth fully S2OO again.

Giving the Grip.

Some young men in town near Bata- via, N. Y., having "cut up" one night to the detriment of certain windows and bell-pulls, were lodged in the calaboose, and in due time next morning confronted before a police magistrate, who fined them $5 each, and an admonition. One of these foolishly remarked:
 "Judge, I was in hopes that you would remember me I belong to the same lodge with you!''
 The Judge, apparently surprised, re- piled with brotherly sympathy:
 "Ah is it so? Truly, this is Brother -! did not recognize you! Ex- cuse me for my dullness. Yes, we are brother Masons, and I should have thought of that. MT. Clark, fine our Brother - ten dollars. Being Mason he knows the rules of propriety better than other men. Fine him ten dollars. You will pay the clerk, Brother -! Good-morning, brother. Call the next case."
