PATHETIC ORIGIN OLA HYMN.

DIR. Fawcett, author of the hymn,
the pastor of small Baptist church
in Yorkshire, from which he received
only meager salary. Being invited
to London to succeed the distinguish
ed Dr. Gill, he accepted, preached his
farewell sermon, and began to load
his furniture on wagons for trans
portation. When the time for depar-
ture arrived, his Yorkshire parishion-
ers and neighbors chung to him and
his family with an affection which
was beyond expression. The agony
of separation was almost heart
breaking. The pastor and his wife,
completely overcome by the evidence
of attachment they witnessed, sat
down to weep. Looking into his
face, while tears flowed like rain,
down the cheeks of both, Mrs. Faw-
cett exclaimed, "Oh John, John, l
can't bear this! know not how to
go!" "Nor either" said he; nor
will we go; unload the wagons, and
put everything in the place where it
was beforel" The people who had
cried with grief now began to cry
with JOY. He wrote to the London
congregation that his coming was
impossible; and so he buckled on
shire on a salary less by forty pounds
a year than that which he declined.
To commemorate this incident in his
history, DIR. Fawcett wrote that
hymn [Christian Herald.

they, too, will send delegates to
Washington. From over the sea
will come also representatives of the
Wesleyan conference in France.
A man would require all the fingers
of both hands to count all the Meth
odist branches which exist beyond
the sea, and the fingers Of four hands
would not suffice to enumerate the
branches into which the Methodism
of America is divided. 1t would be
bewildering to the ordinary reader
to parade before him the names of
all these branches, beginning with
the Methodist Episcopal church, the
parent body, owning in turn as its
parent the Wesleyan body of Great
Britain; the Methodist Episcopal
church south; the African Episcopal
church; the African Methodist Epis-
copal Zion church; the Colored Meth
odist Episcopal church; the Union
American Methodist Episcopal
church; and the dozen or more of
other Methodist churches which do
not embrace the word "episcopal" in
their title All these churches
will have delega ties in the conference
which meets in Washington, and to-
gether they represent Methodism
which counts its members by millions
which is propagating itself in almost
every mission field in the world, and
which is doing an evangelistic and
educa tional work truly vast in its
extent and results.-[H arper's Week

THE BRANCHES OF Mi;THODIsM.

When Pope Plus TX, summoned
the bishops of the Roman Catholic
church from all parts OF the inhabit-
able world to meet in council in
Rome, it was known as an Ecu
menical council. When the Meth
odists summoned representatives of
their name from most of the quarters
ofthe globe. they called the conference,
which met in London in 1881, an
Ecumenical conference, still further
distinguishing it as the Ecumenical
Methodist conference. The second
conference of this order is to be held
in Washington, October 7th-2Oth;
and if it is not ecumenical in the
largest sense of the word, still 1t will
represent every branch of Methodism,
and therefore every country in which
Methodism has an organized exist
ence.
There will be delegates, of course,
from the church which John Wesley
founded, elected by the annual con-
ference which he established, and
over which he presided as long as he
number of branches which have come
into existence since the great apostle
passed away. These bodies represent
a compact and vigorous Methodism
in England and Ireland, and a vigor-
Gus missionary Methodism in many
foreign countries. There will also
be delegates from the West Indies
and from Africa, as well as from
Australia, where the work begun as
a mission by the Wesleyan confer
ence has risen to the power and
dignity of an independent organiza-
ton, with general conference of its
own, and with educational institu-
tions and boards of domestic and
foreign missions. Some of the other
Methodist bodies in Great Britain
are also represented in Australia, and

THE VERMONT BRIGADE.

The Vermont brigade was the pet
organization of the Army of the PO-
tomac, and Miles O'Reily described
them as honest farmers turned vaga-
bonds-simple countrymen turned
into heroes. They stole ancient
horses and bony cows on the march.
They pillaged moderately in other
things. The swept the diaries and
they stripped the orchards for miles
where they travelled. They chased
rabbits when they went into camp
after long marches, and they yelled
like wild Indians when neighboring
camps were silent through fatigue.
with their officers. They staggered
in cool, impudent way, and looked
down with a patronizing Yankee
GOODNESS upon all regiments that
were better drilled, and upon that
part of the army generally, that did
not belong to the Vermont brigade.
They were strangely proud, not of
themselves individually, but of the
brigade collectively; for they knew
perfectly Will they were the best
fighters in the known world. They
were long of limb and could out
march the army. They were indi
vidually self-reliant and skilful in the
use of arms, and they honestly be-
lieved that the Vermont brigade
could not be beaten by the combined
armies of the rebellion. They were
veterans in fighting qualities almost
from the first skirmish. This was at
Lees Mills. They crossed narrow
dam under a fire, made the attack
they were instructed to make, and
came back wading deep in the water,
with SteadinesS that surprised the
army. They were an incorrigible.
irregular, noisy set of rascals. They
four years of service; yet they were
at all times a pet brigade. There
were but two things they would do
march and fight; and these they did
in manner peculiarly their own.
They had long slow, swinging strides
on the march which distanced every
thing which followed them. They
had quite, attentive, earnest, indi
vidua1 way of fighting that made
them terrific in battle. Each man
knew that his neighbor in the ranks
was not going to run away, and he
knew, also, that he himself intended
to stay where he was. Accordingly,
none of the attention of the line was
diverted from the important duties
of loading and firing, rapidly and
carefully. When moving and when
hotly engaged they made queer,
quaint jokes and enjoyed them great
~ They crowed like cocks, they
ba-a-ed like sheep, they neighed like
horses, they beloved like bulls, they
barked like dogs, and they counter
feited with excellent effect the indie
scribable music of the mule. When,
perchance, they held a picket line in
the forest, it seemed as if Noah's ark
had gone to pieces there. When the
Vermonters led the column on a
march, their quick movements had
to be regulated from corps or divi-
vison headquarters, to avoid gaps
in the column as it followed them.
If rapid or forced march was re-
quired, it was a common thing for
Sedgwick to say, with quiet smile !:
Put the Vermonters at the head of
the column today and keep every
thing we'll closed "-[Ben Perly

The constant demand of the travelling
public to the far West for comfortable
and at the same time an economical mode
of travelling, has led to the establishment
of what is known as Pullman Colonists
Sleepers.
These cars are built on the same gen.
eral plan as the regular frst-class Pull
man Sleeper, the only difference being is
that they are not upholstered.
They are furnished complete with good
comfortable hair mattresses, warm blan-
kets, snow white linen, curtains, plenty of
towels, combs. brushes, ETC., which secure
to the occupant of berth as much pri-
vacy as is to be had in frst-class sleepers.
There are also separate toilet rooms for
ladies and gentlemen, and smoking is alb
