Characters in "Adam Bede."

The Rev. E. T. Carrier, Wesley
an minister, writes to the Methodist
Recorder Oondon) some local intel
ligence about the characters intro
duced in "Adam Bede," which,
though not entirely new, may not
be without their interest just now,
when the recent decease of the gif-
ted author of that work is drawing
new attention to it. He remarks:
Dear Sir-It may interest many
Of your readers to be informed that
Dinah Morris, Adam and Seth Bede,
the principal characters of the late
George Elliot's chef d'euure "Adam
Bede," were not mere imaginary
creations of that gifted authoress,
but graphic portraitures Of a pious
Methodist family formerly resident
in one of my circuit villages. The
family name was Evans, and for
many years after Dinah's marriage
to Seth (not Adam, as the author
ess, for artistic purposes, writes) she
continued to preach both in our
chapels and on the village green's.
There is a monument erected to
her in our Wordsworth Chapel.
Seth Evans died recently, and the
Rev. Thos. Sheldon, then resident
here, informed me that he preach
ed the old leaders funeral sermon.
George Eliot's maiden name was
Evans, and in her younger days she
was frequently brought into con-
tact with Dinah Bede, and saw in
her that divine glory of spirituali-
ty which faith and devotion give,
and which, being in her case allied
to a strongly developed individuali-
ty, exerted upon all who knew her
an influence of no ordinary charac-
ter. Her words, many of them the
identical words of "Adam Bede,"
are still treasured in the memories
Of our pious peasantry.

Last week, Collector Merritt is
sued an order forbidding the sale
of alcoholic drinks in the New York
Custom House. The action sug-
gests some reflections. 1t is not
supposed that the collector is ga
natic" or performer" of human
habits. He has merely forbidden
traffic which is detrimental to the
business intrusted to his hands.
The Custom House is large enough
to constitute community, and it
is plain enough, without any ga
naticism" to help vision, that the
suppressed trade would be profitable
to some persons while injurious to
the work of the department. Is not
the same thing true to any other
community? Is there any reason
in the nature ofthings-in the mer-
its of the case-why such traffic
should be toleratedin the city, when
it is forbidden, on business princi-
pies, in the Custom House. No
one but an interested dealer will
claim that there is any necessity for
the sale, by the glass, of alcoholic
drinks in any community; and ev-
erv one, with the exception of the
brutalized vendors, will admit that
such sale is harmful. Is it then.
a ''fanaticism" to propose to initiate
a sensible public officer, and forbid
this traffic in all communities?
''But it is impracticable:" Yes, but
why? Simply because a collector
of customs follows his good judg-
ment in the matter and commu-
mites do not.
By and by, when we become sui i
ficiently civilized to suppress traf,
fic which we are now civilized
enough to recognize as injurious, 1t
will be matter for wonder that this
immense retail liquor trade flourish
ed so long in the streets after busl-
ness men forbade it III their banks,
stores and Custom Houses. We
have improved a little "a young man

Bro. Jones is Slow.

Bro. Jones is a preacher, and is
remarkable for an unaccountable
hardness of thought and action.
Ii Bro. Jones should see a man fall
from the top of a high steeple or a
precipico, Bro. Jones would never
thlnkto inquire whether or not the
man was hurt nor who the man was,
until the affair had almost entirely
passed from the recollection of the
oldest inhabitant of the village.
Bro. Jones is slow; there is no get
ting around that; he never thinks
OF the cause Of anything, even tho
he sees the effect.
Brother Jones is a Methodist.
One day as he was attending Con-
ference at W, he walked up
the aisle, near to the pulpit, but
forgot to remove his hat as he came
in.
A brother preacher, Rev. j., well
knowing the failing of Bro. Jones,
stepped up to him and politely re-
moved his hat for him and handed
the same to the aforesaid Bro. Jones.
Bro. Jones took the hat, walked to a
seat and sat down.
Three days later the members of
the Conference were returning home
on the cars in good spirits. Some
one noticed that Bro. Jones all at
once assumed a very demure coun-
tenance, and when inquired of, as
to the cause, replied in most pitiful
accents: 81 believe that Brother J
really meant to insult me the other
day, when he stepped up to me in
church and took off my hat, and
Siam BEGINNING to feel real bad abou
It,"
(We vouch for the truth of this
incident, related in our hearing a
few days ago, but won't say we have
the right name-Jones is a handy
name you know. ED

1t Is fair to say, however, that of
those voting against postponement
at least one favored the Amend
ment being modified And of those
who voted for indefinite POSTPONE
ment, some of them put it on the
ground that the Senate might as
well decline further consideration
OF the matter, until the Honse had
acted upon it. If the House should
pass 1t, they would have to consid-
er it then anyhow. 1t was thought
to be stronger in the House. and
therefore the Senate might as we'll
dispose Of the matter until it came
from the House. Possibly some
who voted for postponing, would
vote for the Amendment if it comes
from the House. Let us hope.

Literature for the Penitentiary.

Mr. Zenas Martin, of Wick, Tyler
county, w. Va, has been a sub
scriber and reader of the Journal
and Messenger only few months.
He isso much pleased with the high
Christian tone of the paper, that
for some weeks he has been interest
ed in making arrangements to have
it circulated among the convicts at
Moundsville. He has made ar
rangements with Mr., w. L. Bridges,
the Superintendent, for the dis
tribution of all the papers we may
be able to send him. Bro. Martin
pays for two copies of the Journal
and Messenger for one year, and is
trying to get others to assist in the
good work of sending religious liter
ature to these unfortunate persons
who are shut off from society and
have but little to read. We shall
take pleasure in receiving money
from others for this good purpose,
and hope that good number of
persons will assist at once in this
work. We ought to send fifty copies
each week to Moundsville. Who
will help ?-"P." in Journal and Mes
senger.

fore, and some employers would at
once cut off certain well-defned
risks by discharging such a clerk.
But the same sensible men are too
fearful of ''fanaticism" to apply to
the community precautions which
they take in their places of bust
ness. A large bank affords corners
where liquor stands could be set up ;
and no plea of convenience was ever
urged for such a stand anywhere
that could not be urged for one in a
bank. 1t would save the time of
clerks and serve the tastes of custo-
mers-and yield a neat income.
Yet no bank officer wants the stuff
retailed on his premises; and he
will give good business reasons for
not wanting such a traffic there.
But he cannot give a. reason whose
principles would not equally apply
to a liquor stand in any street.
This plain common-sense view of
the trade by the glass in alcoholic
drinks has one obstacle between it
and most eyes-that obstacle is a
habit of shutting the eyes as soon
as we have applied good sense to
our personal interests in the matter.

American Bible Society.

The stated meeting of the Board
OF Managers was held in the Bible
House, New York, February 3.
Grants of books were made to the
value of about $500, including
$4,000 for colportage, 800 volumes
to the Friends Kansas Freedmen's
Relief Association, and Is volumes
In raised letters for the blind.
Letters were presented from va
rlous portions of the foreign field,
the most striking points of which
refer to the continued growth of the
work in Japan and in Russia. 1t is
to be regretted that a fire in Kobs
had resulted in the destruction of
some OF the new plates of the New
Testament, which will, however,
be promptly reproduced. Mr., Prince
says, under date of Dec. 81, 1880:
Count Kroff, newly elected vice
president of the Russian Bible So
clety, told me to-day that the $4,000
from your society is great boon,
for which their society owed their
best acknowledgements and CRATE
full thanks" He further states
thata great field of labor is opening
up IN the remote region of To-
bolsk.
