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 ment to "\\ esley allowed herself to co 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.— She lies in Chiuly Churchyard, in Der byshire. rings, breastpins, chains, bracelets, feathers and flowers to suit the taste.

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 top, bare and desolate as his own blast- j ed existence, upon the earthly panulist which he might not enter; and watch- j ow ; u cursing, we rather suspect the Prince, now on his travels in Europe, is the “ wit” alluded to in the above charac teristic .-ketch.

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.” ruggedness, and desolation; a fit spot w hereon to realize the grim belief of the Red Man, that the souls of tho hit us ?” “ You have a good farm here?” “ Yes—fair to middling.” “ IIow many acres?” “ About four thousand.” “ Not many improvements?” No—it takes me so long to look s’many hack doors in Cinc’nati.

By dint of sheer struggling with hands and feet, we reached the sum mit ot Mount Salahiyeh, near Damas cus, at last, and sat down to look about us. Right up the very bases of the mountains, on either side, extends a perfect sea of vegetation, through the dark glossy green of which, like a silver thread, winds the clear stream of the Abatia; and here and there above the clustering leaves rise shining •cupolas and tall white towers, while in the center of all lies the imperial city her low’ massive walls and tapering minarets showing dazzlingly white in the glorious sunshine, and the mighty dome of the Great Mosque crowning the whole. 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 through to bits. None of you can’t tell nothin’ about that old church. I 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 vain ; at last the Coliseum was by chance mentioned. “ Kolly-se-um! That soundssufAin like it. What sort of buildin’ is it ? 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.

A Growler’s Reaipe to Make a Fashion nble Woman. Take ninety pounds —but chiefly hones—wash clean, bore holes in tho ears and cut off the small toes; bond the hack to conform to the Grecian bend, the Boston dip, the kangaroo droop, the Saratoga slope, or the bullfrog break, as the taste in lines ; then add three yards of linen, one hundred yards of ruffles and seven ty-five yards of edging, eighteen yards of dimity, one pair silk cotton hose with patent hip attachments, one pair false calves, six yards flannel, embroid ered, one pair balmoral hoots, with heels three inches high, four pounds whalebone in strips, seventeen hundred and sixty yards of steel w ire, three quarters of a mile of tape, ten pounds of raw cotton or two’wire hemispheres, one wire basket to hold a bushel, four copies of any eight-page paper (triple sheet), one hundred and fifty yards of silk or other dress goods, five hundred yards fringe and other trim mings, twelve gross of buttons, one box pearl powder, one saucer of car mine, and an old hare’s foot, one bush el of false hair frizzled and fretted a la mauiaque, one bundle Japanese switches, with rats, mice and other varmints; ono peck of hair pins, one lace handkerchief, nine inches square, with patent holder. Perfume with ottar of roses, or sprinkle with nine drops of the “ Blessed Baby” or “ West End.” Stuff the head with fashionable nov els, ball tickets, play bills and wedding cards, some scandal, a great deal of lost time and a very little sage; add a half grain of common sense, three scruples of religion, and a modicum of modesty.

Look happy, if you do not feel Present a cheerfui exterior, though your heart and mind he troubled.— Never wear a face which, as Sydney Smith says, “ is a breach of the peace.” Dr. Johnson used to observe that the habit of looking at the liest side of a thing was worth more to a man than a thousand pounds a year, and Samuel Smiles observes: “We possess the fiower to a great extent, of so exerei.s- ing’the will as to direct the thoughts upon subjects calculated to yield hap piness and improvement rather than their opposites. In this way the habit of happy thought may be made to spring up like any other habit. And to bring up men or women with a gen uine nature of this sort, a good temper and a happy frame of mind, is, |*er- haps, of even more importance, in many cases, than to perfect them in much knowledge and many accom plishments.”—Chippewa Herald.
