ed. He became himself the most I'M
wearied of field preachers, and bis
journal for half a century is little
more than record of fresh journeys
and fresh sermons. When once
driven to employ lay helpers in his
ministry he made their work new
and attractive feature in his system.
His earlier asceticism only fingered
in dread of social eDjoyments and
an aversion from the gayer and SUM-
nier side of life which links the
Methodist movement with that of
the Puritans. AS the fervor of his
uperstitutiOn died down into the
calm of age, his cool common sense
discouraged i'll his followers the en-
thusiastic outbursts which marked
the opening OF the revival His pow
ers were bent to the building up of a
great religious society which might
give 10 the new enthusiasm a lasting
and practical form. The MethOdists
were grouped into classes, gathered
in love feasts, purified by the expul-
SION OF unworthy members, and fur
Dished with an alienation of settled
ministers and wandering preachers :
while the whole body was placed
under the absolute government of
conference of ministers. But
so long as he lived, the direction of
the new religious society remained
with Wesley alone. "If by arbitrary
power" he replied, with charming
simplicity to directors, "you mean a
power which exercise simply with
out any colleagues therein, this is
certainly true, but | see no hurt in
It,"
The great Eody which he thus
founded numbered hundred thou
sand members at his death. and now
counts lis members in England and
America by millions. But the
MethOdists themselves were the
least result of the Methodist revival.
Its action upon the church broke
the lethargy of the clergy; and the
evangelical movement, which
found representatives like Newton
and Cecil within the pale of the es-
adjustment. made the fox-huntiug
parson and the absentee rector at
last impossible. In Walpole's
day the English clergy were the
idlest and the most lIfe.ess in the
world. In our own day no body of
religious ministers surpasses them
in piety, in philanthropic energy, or
in popular regard. In the nation at
large appeared II new moral enthu-
siasm, which rigid and pedantic
as it often seemed, was
still healthy Units social tone,
and whose power was seen in the
disappearance of the profligacy
which had disgraced the upper
classes and the foulness which had
infested literature ever since the
restoration. A new philanthropy
reformed our prisons, infused Gle
mency and wisdom into our penal
laws, abolished the slave trade, and
gave the first impulse to popular

II is said that certain kinds of wood,
although Of great intrinsic durability, act
upon other woods of equal durability, in
such a way as to induce mutual destruc-

they will rot each while Joined together,

A novel way of preserving the surfaces
of iron has just been discovered. The
treatment is as follows: The iron is
subjected to the action of diluted hydro
chIoric acid which desolves the iron. and
leaves ON the surface apellicle of homo
geneous graphite which adheres well to
the surface of the iron. The piece to be
preserved is next treated, in a hydrauli-
cally closed receiver, by hot or cold wa
ter, or, better, by steam, in such a man.
ner as to completely dissolve and remove
the chloride of iron formed. Finally the
piece of iron Is left to dry in the receiver
from which all liquor has been removed.
A solution OF caoutchoue, guttapercha.
or gum resin in essance OF petroleum is
then injected. On tee essence being
evaporated, there remains q solid enam-
el-like coat on the surface of the iron.
Instead Ofpreviously eliminatlngthe iron
salt, il may be util. zed in forming kind
of vitreous enamel. For thls purpose the
iron Is immersed, after treatment with
the kcid, in bath of silicate and borate
Of soda. A very pure and brilliant silico
borate OF iron is formed, which closes up
the pores Of the metal. As to the dis
engaged chlorine, IL combines with the
free sada, forming chloride of sodium,
which remains dissolved In the liquid.
Thus the important question of the pre-
servation Of iron appears to have been
brought another step toward solution.

A GENTLEMAN, connected with
Bayland Orphan Home, has been in
correspondence with persons in this
city regarding the condition of the
Home. It's condition is not good,
and while every effort is being made
to make it self-sustaining, there is
lack of means to provide for the
orphans, and the buildings Of the
Home are in the saddest need of re-
pairs. A benevolent lady OF this
city, through her energy, has lately
contributed some substantial aid to
these orphans, but they are in need
of many necessities, without means
at command with which they may
be obtained. 1t has been suggested,
because of a precedent set some
years ago, that the legislature be
asked to contribute to the Home.
either in lands or in money, and
certainly if it be in the power of the
state TO give 1t could extend bounty
to no more laudable purpose than
in giving aid to these orphans. The
houses of the Home are almost un.
inhabitable, and improvements in
buildings and farm appliances are
sadly needed, and unless obtainable
the Institution may have to break
mp. The Home was established to
take care of the destitute orphans of
Confederate dead. and it was private
generosity, but at one time the state
did grant the Home small bounty
In lands, and having done so then, il
might DO something of a similar
nature now. Orphans of the
Confederate dead are rap
Idly becoming men and wo-
men, and the Home is now kept
alive for the benefit of INDECENT
orphans, without regard to parent
age. The state could well afford to
aid such public enterprise. The
truth about II is, that the state ought
to organize just such an institution,
10 be maintained at public expense,
providing that destitute orphans
may be cared for, just as is the
hopeless lunatic. OF the blind, the
deaf and the dumb.
Orphaned and homeless children,
crying for shelter and bread. ought
20 present stonger appeal for
public charity than any other class
OF beings. All advanced states and
countries, and many communities,
snstain Institutions for the rearing
and education of hapless and
friendless orphans, and Texas might
well AFFORD TO follow such examples

THE conviction of the Ford broth

puts Gov. Crittenden IN a very

THE London death rate is 81 to
1000, while that OF New York is 81
TO 1000. A celebrated New Yc-s
preacher has taken these facts as u
subject for sermon, and ae shows
why Americans are dying out faster
than other people, laying down five
reasons: first, eating toe much and
too fast; second, drinking too much ;
third, gambling too much fourth,
disappointed ambition; fifth, greed
of money. These reasons apply on
ly to New Workers, for in many
of the cities and in the rural dis
tricts the death rate s. less even
than in London; and hence Ameri-
cans are not dying out, but are in
creasing at very respectable rate.
