that tho lady buried beneath it had roach

years.
Il il true that the statements on tomb
stones cannot always be accepted q imply

expressed the popular belief in the de-
ceased's longevity, :and, may be. it can
be supported by family records.
II does not seem possible for any altera-
ton to have been made in the figures by
wanton hands.
We should like to hear something moro
of the history of this lady. We were the
means not long ago Of giving wide pub
licity to the fact that the largest man that
ever lived in this country was . North
Carolinisn, and now it would be pleasure
to Us to proclaim that in that healthy and
vigorous climate . person had actually
lived to the age Of one hundred and

ORIGIN OF A FAMOUS HYMN.
Or. Peterson Relates the Circumstancei
Under Which 1t Was Written.

Or. Peterson Relates the Circumstances
Under Which 1t Was Written.
REV. DR.. Z. N. Peterson In Manchester Leader.l
Probably one Of the most universally
popular hymns ever composed Is Charles
Wesley's hymn
"Jesus, lover Of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom iy,' &c.
The origin of this hymn. as recently pub
lished in one of the Richmond papers, IS
not correct. The statement is there made
that the words were suggested by o little
bird seeking refuge from hawk, by flying
into the study of Charles Wesley and light
ing in his bosom.
On the contrary, this hymn was written
by Wesley in spring house, where he had
taken refuge from . mob. He. with his
brother John Wesley and Richard Fillmore,
were holding one of their evening meetings
on the common (for then Methodism had
no churchesll, when mob attacked them.
at last found temporary. shelter
from the stones with which they
were pelted behind hedge. After
lying there for some time, we are
told: the darkness deepened upon them,
and they found their way to deserted
spring house, where they washed their
faces, brushed the dirt from their clothes,
and felt at least moments security from
the missiles which had pelted them. 1t
was the storm of fierce persecution. that
assaulted him, not the fight Of hawk
after a sparrow. that suggested the i'm
mortal hymn. We are told that Charles
Wesley had with him piece of lead ham,
mered out into o pencil, with which he
wrote the HYMN.
The fight of the mob and the cooling
waters of the stream helped to form this
hymn, no one would doubt.
1t was the tempest" of wrath and in
dignation which assailed him that sug-
gested the hymn. How wondrously did
the writer that night Of fight from mob
to q protecting shelter pen the words
which have helped thousands to fly to the
bosom Of Jesus

This is an interesting story Of fashiona-

Jenny's ordeal was tho rather common
one of having to marry one man while
loving another. The unloved one, how
ever, obliginely died in short while and
thus paved the way for another and hap
