"No," he commenced, for he knew
they were getting near her yinc-clad
cottage, and he hadn't much time to
lose, "my love for you shall never

WesIey's Tact.

The following anecdote of the found
er of Mcthodism has, we believe, never
been published. 1t reaches us from a
true, worthy source, and it illustrates
in remarkable manner the mingled
tact and piety of that eminent man.
Although Wesley, like the Apostles,
found that his preaching did not great
ly effect the mighty or the noble, still
he numbered some families of good
position among his followers. 1t was
at the house of one of these that the in
cident here recorded took place. Wes-
ley mad been preaching; and u daugh-
ter of Il reighboring gentleman, girl
remarkable for her beauty, had been
profoundly impressed by his exhorta-
tons. After the sermon Wesley was
invited to this gentleman's house to
luncheon, and with himself one of his
preachers was entertained. This
preacher, like many of his class at
that time, was a man of plain manners,
and not conscious of the restraints of
good society. The fair young Metho-
dist sat beside him at the table, and he
noticed that she wore a number of
rings. During Il pause in the meal
the preacher took hold Of the young
lady's hand, and raising il in the air,
called Wesley's attention to the spark
ling Jewels. 'What do you think of
this, sir, he said, for Methodist's
hand?
The girl turned crimson. For Wes-
ley, with his known and expressed
aversion to finery, the question was a
peculiarly awkward one. But the aged
evangelist showed tact which Ches-
terfeld might have envied. He looked
up with quiet, benevolent smile, and
simply said, 'The hand is very beauti-
full
The blushing beauty had expected
something far different from reproof
wrapped up with such felicity in a
compliment. She had the good sense
to say nothing but when, few hours
later, she again appeared in Wesley's
presence, the beautiful hand was strip
ped of every ornament except those
which nature had giyeu,

Bound HER CHICKS SHOULD SWIM
The toughest story of the season
comes from Sullivan, Me. Some time
ago hen was set upon ducks eggs,
and in due time the ducklings were out
and on their way to the nearest water
Biddy was much alarmed at the appar'
ent folly of her brood; but after Il few
days she lost all fear, and each morn
ing led them to the water and patiently
waited until they were done bathing
After few weeks the ducks were able
to take care of themselves and the hen
sat upon eggs of her own kind. When
the chicks were Matched she had not
forgotten what appeared to be maternal
duty. She led her flock to the water
but to her surprise not one entered.
After some time spent in talking to
them in hen language, trying to con-
vince them that it was their duty to go
into the water, she lecame exasperated
at what looked to be disobedience on
the part of her children, seized them
one by one, and threw them in, drown
ing the whole flock.- Bangor Wing.

One by one the Newspapers that
favored the Independent movement
are falling into line and keeping step
to the music of the united Republican
party. The Philadelphia Press, which
was fully two,thirds Independent and
the other third doubtful, is gradually
swinging around to safe moorings. The
Inquirer, which was out.and. out indie.
pendent, is following in the wake of
the Press. Both of them will heartily
support the Beaver ticket before the
campaign is over. The old North
American, although one of the MIMI
ohael family is on the Independent
ticket for Congressman. at. Large, is
not supporting the Independent move
ment and there is no apparent hkeli.
hood of its doing so. Throughout the

Ticket have taken it down-are show.
ing more zeal in behalf of the Repub-

reliable Republican papers will be
supporting General Beaver and the
entire State ticket with old-fashioned
enthusiasm. This is as it should be.
ALI thinking men must realize that il
will be Beaver or PattisOn, and no
loyal Republican should for moment
hesitate between voting for a brave,

Beaver, or an inexperienced Democrat

Democratic


THE Democratic newspapers
throughout the State, in order to allay
the opposition of would.be Democratic
candidates for President and their
friends to Pattison, are beginning to
explain that he has no Presidential
aspirations for 1884, because he is
now only 32, while th .. Constitution Of
the UAited States prescribes 35 years
as the age qualification. PattisOA's
age need give the Democrats no con-
cern, as that win not be the qualif.
cation that will prevent him from
being an aspirant for President in
1884. He will be 30 badly defeated

anybody's way for President in 1884,

JUST now the Democratic press all
over the State is encouraging, hatter-
ing and coaxing the Independents to
stand firm, and not to dicker, recon.
eile or coalesce with the Republicans.
They are advised to maintain their
manhood, stand up for principle, re-
buke bossism, and never TO surrender
no, never. If the Independents could
reflect that all this ObsequeOus atten.
tion on the part of the Democrats, this
fawning flattery, is newly put on, in
order that the Democrats may use the
Independents directly or indirectly
in the election of Pattison, they
perhaps would recognize that true
manhood would not allow them to be
made tools of for Democratic uses.
True manhood naturally suspects fat
terry of covert enemies, and Inde-
pendent Republicans who succumb to
Democratic fattery will be ashamed
of the uses the Democrats will have
mace of them before the next Govern
or is inaugurated.
