NVill Kite's sweet morning yield to noon,
And noon's broad, fervid, earnest light
Be shrouded in the gloom of night!
Till like a story well nigh told,
Will seem my life—when I am old. '
When I am old—this breezy earth
NVill lose for me its voice of mirth ;
The streams will have an undertone
Of sadness—not by right their own;
And spricg’6 sweet flowers in vain unfold
In rosy charms—when I am old.

To deck with flowers my faded hair;

In rich and costly robes to shine ;

When I nm old—my friends will be
Old and inflnn and bowed like me;
Or else their bodies ’neath the sod,
Their spirits dwelling safe with God,
The old ehureh bell will long have tolled
Above tlieir rest—when I am old.
When I am old—I’d rather bend
Thus sadly o’er each buried friend,
Than see them lose the earnest truth
That marks the friendship of our youth;
’Twill be so sad to have them cold,
Or change to me—when I am old.
When I am old—oh how it seems
Like the wild lunacy of dreams
To picture in prophetic rhyme,
That dim, far distant, shadowy time ;
So distant that it seems o'er bold
Even to say—When I am old.
When I am old—perhaps ere then,
I shall be missed from haunts of men ;
Perilaps my dwelling will be found
Beneath the green and quiet mound;
My name by strangers’ hands enrolled
Among the dead—ere I nm old.
Ere I am old—the time is now,
For youth sits lightly on my brow ;
My limbs are firm, and strong, and free.
Lite lias a thousand charms for me ;
Charms that w ill long their influence hold
Within my heart—ere I am old.
Ere I am old—oh, let me give
My life to learning how to live.
Then shall 1 meet, with willing heart.
An early summons to depart.
Or find my lengthened days consoled
peace—when I am old.

1 lti.s young woman had been brought
up as a maid servant, anti was a per
son of small education, though of great
attractions, and a fervent convert to
Methodism. She was a person of sin
gular impulsive temperament, and with
an utter disregard of delicacy and hon
or, and in the midst of her engage

quette witfl one of his lay preachers,
John Bennett, and for some months
the most extraordinary alternations
went on, her choice resting sometimes
on one! sometimes on the other of her
lovers, with passionate assertion of her
entire devotedness to each, and this
with intervals occasionally of a few
hours only. Charles Wesley, disgusted
and indignant, strove to put an end to
the scandal. His brother yielded, and
met the lady to say farewell. lie kissed
her and said, “ Grace Murray, you
have broken my heart.”
A week or two after she was married
to the inferior suitor. She and Wesley
did not meet again for thirty-nine years.
She long outlived her husband, and
when in London she came to hear her
son preach in Moorfields, she met her
venerable lover—lover still, apparent
ly, for the interview is described as be
ing very affecting. Henceforth they
saw each other no more, and Wesley
never again mentioned her name.—
Through long years Grace continued
;i course of Christian usefulness, and
lived and died eminently respected.—

From this glorious panorama we
turn away reluctantly, to glance at the
little square tower of stone that rises
beside us, marked by tradition as the
grave of the first murderer. Childish
and impossible as the legend is, it here
assumes an air of solemn reality.
Where that miserable life drew to a
close, none but God can say; but in
all the earth it could have found no
litter spot for its ending. To me, at
least, there is a wierd grandeur in the
thought of the lonely homicide looking
down forever from this bleak mountain

Mr. T yerman, in his recently pub
lished life of John Wesley, the founder
of Methodism, tells the story of his
love affairs very fairly and fully. They
constitute rather a remarkable chain of
episodes, showing that the apostle
of the Methodists had an amorous
heart, where the women were con
cerned. The first occurrence was dur
ing his mission to Georgia, where he
formed a deep attachment to a Miss
Sophia Hookey, a neice of the Chief
Magistrate of the colony. The entire
biographies of Wesley represent the
affair as involving a conspiracy on the
part of the young lady and her friends
against the reputation and even the
virtue of the youthful ascetic—instruc
tions having been given her (they say)
to encourage him by all means, and
even to “deny him nothing.” But so
unlikely an account is now discredited,
and is totally disclaimed by Mr. Tyer-
man. Certain it is that Wesley was
deeply in love: certain, too, that he
referred the case to his Moravian
friends and advisers, who decided ac
cordingly that he should proceed no
further in the matter, and lie is said to
have acquiesced, saying, “ The will of
the Lord he done.” However this may
have been (and it seems doubtful
whether he voluntarily gave up his at
tachment) , the sequel is equally strange,
for we find him a few months after
publicly refusing the sacrament to this
same lady (then married to a Mr. Wil
liamson) w hen she presented herself at
the Lord’s table. The grounds for his
refusal have never been cleared up;
but it was largely in consequence of
this behavior that he drew on himself
the odium and persecution which drove
him out of Georgia.
For some years after this he persist
ed in his resolution of celibacy: a res
olution which certainly was most ad
visable for one who had embraced a
life of self-denial, labor and homeless
ness. In 1743, too, he published his
“ Thoughts on a Single Life,” ex tolling
the state as the privilege, if not the
duty of all who were capable of re
ceiving it; and three years after, in a
public hymn, which is clearly autobi
ographical, expresses himself as fol
lows :
“ I have no sharer of my heart,
To rub my Savior of a part
And desecrate the whole;
Only betrothed to Christ am I,
Ar.d wait his coming from the sky
To wed my happy soul.”
It was, therefore, with great surprise,
and not without some scandal, that in
1749 his friends heard that he was en
gaged to a Mrs. Grace Murray, a young
widow who hud nursed him in a short
illncctg, and who was actually accom
panying him at that time in his minif-
but this time in vain. It soon appeared
how ill-devised a union had been con
tracted ; and after a few years of
wretched married life, marked on her
part hv outrageous ill temper, jealousy,
violence, and even treachery, which
her husband, on his side, liore with the
patience of a Socrates, the lady one
dav took herself off’, and lived in a state
of separation from him until her death.
“ Xon cam retiqui; non dimisi; non
revocabol" was the husband’s apt and
pardonable exclamation when he found
her gone. She takes her place in the
foremost rank of the had wives of em
inent men, worthy to ho classed with
the wedded companions of Socrates, of
Albert Durer, of George Herbert, or
Richard Hooker; she was the most
vicious vixen of them all. It may be
imagined, without doing any injustice
to him, that when his letters were stol
en, interpolated forgot hy his wife, for
the purpose of iuj tiring his character, tlie
grieving spirit ot the old prophet may
sometimes have said : “ Grace Murray
would not have done this.” At the
same time we must, in justice, say that
Wesley cannot wholly lie exonerated
from blame; for, setting aside the ques
tion whether, after electing to marry,
he was not hound to do more for the
comfort of his wife, he certainly gave
occasion to her jealous temper hy his
unwary conduct, and most of all hy
his unaccountable fondness for a cer
tain Sarah Ryan, quandam maid ser
vant, like the others, who, although she
was the wife ef three living husbands, so
won the good opinion and confidence
of Wesley by her ostentatious devout
ness that lie actually appointed her
matron of Kingswood School, where
he necessarily paid frequent visits.—
No suspicion can really attach, of
course, to the fair fame of one so pure
and unblemished as Wesley, but it was
difficult for a jealous wife to think so.
And assuredly we must say of him,
adopting a well known phrase of Mr.
Froude’s, that “ in his relations with
women he seemed to be under a fatal
necessity of mistake.”

Another “ Innocent” Abroad.
[Annie Brewster’s Rome Letter, in Utila. Bulletin. - ]
One of the most refreshing speci
mens of ignorance and common sense
has been delighting a portion of Amer
ican Rome the last fortnight. It is
one of our countrymen. He has lie-
come famous. His witty sayings have
been repeated at the dinner parties of
‘ the elect made perfect.” As Mon
sieur Jourdan, he has spoken prose
without knowing it. I made even the
calm, languid features of Mr. Lcckey,
the author of Rationalism, relax into
a benignant smile, at a dinner, the
other night, and the rest of the com
pany peal out laughter, by recounting,
in the simplest manner, the delicious
bon mots of this wit unawares.
“ Here,” ho said to a gentleman
whom he met in the reading-room of
the hotel at which they both lodged,
“ here, tell me what there is to see in
this infernal old one-hoss town.”
The gentleman appealed to was
stunned for an instant; then lie sud
denly thought of St. Peter’s as a place
likely to afflict all manner of persons,
ignorant as well as educated.
“ O, I’ve seen that bildin’, sir,” an
swered our w it. “ I’ve walked its hull
length and bredth, and then stepped
off’ its wedth; and then went a-top. I
know the old place all through and

just studied it out all by myself, i nd I
finished it up clean, I tell you. But
there’s another buildin’ I was told I
must see, and I can’t for the life of me
recollect what it’s called.
Several places were named over in

chance mentioned.

What did they use to do in it ?
“ It was a place of public amuse
ment,” he was told.
“ A sort of theatre, eh ?” he asked.
“ Yes; an amphitheatre for public
games.”
“ Is it runniu’ uow ?”
“ Oh, no! it is in ruins.”
“ Oh, played out," said our delicious
wit, with a snort of contempt, “ I see.

their opposites. In this way the habit
of happy thought may be made to

to bring up men or women with a gen
