Narnthcof a Remarkable Trans action in the Early life oj John Wesley. From an Original Man uscript in his own handwriting. ” Those who havo read “John Wesley's Journal” are aware that his missionary work in Georgia was cut short by a series of petty annoy ances in which a woman’s name was curiously mixed up. In fact,; the first two bills in which he was pre sented by the grand jury', charged him with having “broken the jaws of the realm,” first, “by speaking and writing to Mrs. Wiiliathson against her husband's consent]” and secondly, “by repelliqgtther from the Holy Communion.” The lady herself had already sworti to and signed an affidavit, “insinua ting much more than it asserted” I (wo ijuoto Wesley's own words.) ■‘but asserting that Mr. Wesley had many times proposed marriage to her, all which proposals she had re jected.” Wesley himself notices ihe matter with the reserve es a gentle - an. and attempts no exphi ! nation , his cdonee is the best argu ment in his favor. But his IVes leyan biographers, writing when all the actors in the scene were dead, profess to explain it from antiian tic sources. Mis. Williamson, it seems, was a Miss Caustou, the neice of General Oglethorpe, who planted Georgia. Her uncle is 'said to have ‘encouraged her inti macy with Wesley, in the hofie that a man whom he respect and admit-- led might be induced to settle in | the colony, and give up his plans !of evangelizing the Indians. For a time everything seemed to favor I his plans. The young lady went I to wesley for assistance in Pi .rich 1 and spiritual counsel: consult 3 hfs* | taste in her dress ; and; it ,if stud,* .■■watched fi~ d-v *> KfcigK dw'- 1 ' ; ring a fever. But an eminent min ister—and Wesley was even then eminent-—is the property of his party ; his most sacred as well as Hie commonest 1 actions are public; and a heavy penalty awaits Ifhn if |he makes love without leave from ! !iis .congregation. J. isru; bed by a | i■emoustranee from a clergical c*d -1 league, who professed to think that j the lady was too artful in her love, Wesley submitted his case to the Elders' of the Moravian Church as sembled in solemn conclave under Bishop Nitrchuiau. If a touch of comedy were wanting to the whole transaction it may be found in the fact that ..they had already sat in judgment against him, assisted by his officious friend) and at once ad vised him to proceed no further.— Tic replied briefly. “The will of the Lord be done,” and abruptly broke off his intimacy with Miss Causton. What concern it might give her seems not to have occurred to him as matter worthy consideration, but although there had been already some misunderstandings between them, we may perhaps infer from her affidavit afterwards, that she looked upon him as distinctly pledged to" her. The phraseology of spiritual philandering is no doubt a little vague, and words which were only meant as a pastoral blessing may have sounded in the mouth of a young man more like a carnal declaration of love. It is easy to conjecture the sequel. The lady accepts a more business-like lover, retains a little pique against her first, and in the belief that he will not dare to push matters to ex tremity, perhaps in the wish to see if she retains any power, violates the new discipline he has introduce ed. Wesley seems to have warned her fairly before lie enforced the rale of admitting no one to the Com munion who had not given previous notice. revhaps a man of more (act would have avoided such a rup ture under such circumstances, but Wesley would never have done the | work he did -ip life if he had been j fastidiously delicate. Little faults : of taste may fairly be forgiven to a j man, whose one object on earth is to ! save souls. I It is clear that liking, apprecia j tion, gratitude, perhaps vanity, but in no proper sense love, had deter - i mined Wesley s relations with Miss Causton. His first and only genu- I ine passion belongs to a later part |of his life ; its history, written by ! himself in pages that were never meant for the world, was unknown to his biographers, and has only lately been retrieved. Mrs. Wes ley, when she left hor husband; car ried ii away among other papers, no doubt partly in excuse of her miserable jealousy and misconduct. I Apart from the fact that its inci | dents are confirmed by all the co temporary dates in the journal, that a part of the document is in Wes ley’s handwriting, and that such an antiquary as the lute Mr. Hunter convinced himself of its authenti city, every page carries in it its own evidence. The deep passion ate love, which almost confounds it self with the man’s habitual relig ion, the strong sentiment of author ity natural to the head of a sect, the vigorous common sense that justifies the feeling it cannot sub due, are all unmistakable signs of reality. It was not a wise love this attachment of Wesley to his own servant, Grace Murray, it was thwarted iu its working out, and its ir ue was and all the more does the man dilate and invest his vulgar surroundings with a tra gic dignity. His whole narrative is like a chapter of Jobe, a rever ent pleading with God, “What I'hou dost, 1 know not now, but I shall kno.v hereafter.” IVhnt bad been unwise or harsh in his own conduct he had evidently not felt I when he wrote , perhaps he lacked moral insight ever to discover. It i is clear that iu all his dealings with women lie treated them as he treat ed himself,, as instruments for a great end without personality or feeling. Even when his own love was strongest, lie seemingly deman ded its return as a duty to the ' cause of religion, quite as much as he desired to he loved for himself. But he probably felt all the more Unit the devotion to a prophet’s work, which ennobled him in his own eyes, ought to be his title of nobility, with women, his excuse for short-con.it.gs.and weak sympathies .whore vulgar natures would have . been fiVy .use. That lie, beir.<? >ybat he v, r ‘ should have lov*.hen,- a Tuirtgi Above all, having tra in pedutuicr uiofoth er obstacles, being in sight of hnp piness, he had been betrayed by a brother, and bis promised wife cheated into marriage with an other. “If these things are so,” he might well say, “hardly has such a case been from the beginning of the woild.” Grace Murray does not seem quite worthy of her part in history, The daughter of a respectable tradesman, sbelrtd probably re 'ceived a hetier education than the term “set vant,” which is commonl - used ot her, would imply in the las' century ; and Ikes ley lolls us that she bad good sense and some knowlelge both of men and books. We may easily accept tLa praises he bestows on her ‘‘engaging be havkir,” and ‘mild, sprightly, cheeriul, and yet serious temper,” with no greater discount than the world commonly gives to lovers' praises. I’rolmbly, too, (Lesley was a competent judge of her “ready utterance” and good ao quaintuaco “with our method of winning souls,” as well as of her “quick discernment of spirits, and no small insight iuto the devices of Satan.” But her helplessness and sympathies with himself, tested as they had been in journeys togeth er, and in the nursing him through a severe illness, naturally weighed most with the teacher, whoso very greatness shut him out from fellow ship with ordinary associates. Un happily, sbn seems to have Lccd wanting in all strength of charac ter and in real delicacy of feeling. When Wesley first spoke of mar riage to her—apparently in hi3 pe culiar phraseology as she profess ed afterwards not fullv to have un derstood him—she begged permis sion to attend Jiim on his next cir cuit. But being left in Cheshire in the house of one John Bennet, one of Wesley's subordinates, she engaged herself not long after to him. From that time forward her life distracted by tho rival ] claims of her lovers. Bonnet evi- ; (iently believed to the last that, he j was the first contracted, and Wes-j ley’s brothers and the Society sided i with him; tho brothers disliking j the proposed sister-in-law, and tne Methodist women, perhaps, a little jealous of Grace Murray s fortune. Wesley acted characteristically.— He wrote to Bennet, upbraiding j | him severely for trying to rob a ! brother and a friend “of his faith- i ful servant, of the fellow-laborer in ■ the gospel whom he had been form j ing to hi? hand for ton years.”— ' ! The letter through the carelessness | or treachery of its hearer, was nev ler delivered. Rut not satisfied with his position, although tho lady had lately given him “all the assurances which words could give of the most intense and invioiablo affection,” Wesley commenced talking “at large with all those who were dis gusted with her.” Os course he soon collectod a curious mass of scandal. “Mr. William accused hor ‘of not lending his wife her sad dlo' (being just going to take horse \ herself.) Mrs. Williams, of buying a Holland shut, (which was not true.) Nancy and Peggy Watson, of buying a Joseph before she wan ted it. Ann MatteiSon, of being proud and insolent.” The lover, thus informed, sat down and drew up a statement of the grounds on , which he had proceeded, justify ing ( every unwise step with rare method t and good sense, and summing up: ] “The short is this: (1) 1 have scrip- * tural reason to marry, (2) I know * no person so proper as this.” Thus , fKrtified, ho set out on anew cir- cuit, in a somewhat dangerous se curity only questioning bis own conscience for inordinate affection, j Mrs Murray was not a woman to I j he left aloue. Bhe seeins, as for us . we can judge, to have rospocted ; Wesley most, but to have liked . i Rennet best. Throughout her In- I tercourse with her old master, the j predominant feeling seems to be compounded of ambitiou and fear, the natural wish to be Mrs. Wesley, and a not unnatural awe of the stern man who has condescended to her love. “When she teceived a let ter from me,” says Wesley, “she resolved to live and die with mo, i and wrote to me just what she felt. ! When she heard from him, her af ! section for him revived, and she j wrote to him in the tenderest tuan j ner.” Once she was confronted with both, and escaped giving a de | cisive answer by being “sorrowful almost unto death.” Mr. Bennet was disgusted by this indecision, and gave her up. Wesley, writ:tig %hen Re had lost, her irrevocable, "seems to treat It as a fnysten’dus fate, perhaps a backsliding, but one in which the woman was without blame. lie has no words, even in , his grief, to condemu hcr. In fact, if her own story may be believed, she was betrayed into a decision which she could apparently never have made for herself. Charles Wesley suddenly came to Hiticlay j Hill, near Newcastle, where she | was staying, persuaded her, by means of a forged letter, that his ! brother had decided to give her up, ! and told her that her character was 1 lost if she did not marrp Mr. Ben net instantly. Mr. Bennet, who is nol accused of any share in the fraud, was easily persuaded that “the fault lay all in” John Wesley, and within a week was married to the uncertain lady. It is just to add that this account rests upon Mrs. Rennet’s unsupported evi dence, and is more than a little sus -picious against such a man as Chas, Wesley, especially as we know that he assumed a high moral tone when he next met his brother, and threat ened to renounce all intercourse with him. John Wesley was for the time thoroughly broken. 11c had a last interview with Mrs. Ben net, in which she throw the blame of what had happened upon his brother, and declared with tears how great her love had been.— Whether her protestations were true or false, it is scarcely wonderful that her husband soon separated from the Methodist connection. The verses in which John Wes ley has described his feelings—reli gious doggerel as they are, in a lit erary point of view—are among the most touching over penned by man. It is evident that Ins very heart strings were wrung. Ten years’ habit and a contract of nfteen months were indeed ties which might have bound a harder man.— Three years later, ho made what may fairly be called a “marriage do convenance’' with a rich widow, Mrs. Vizelle. He had stipulated that he should never neglect work, but his wife seems to havo been jealous of his absences, and more naturally jealous of his friendships i with other women. It is curious to j find her on one occasion surrepti tiously opening a letter of her hus band’s to ODe Sarah Ryan, a house keeper, an intrigante, and with a certain littleness of understanding in fact, much such a woman as Grace Murray had been, and like her, on terms of spiritual intimacy with Mr. Wesley. Frenzied by dis coveries of this sort, and little causeless suspicions, Mrs. Wesley at last left her husband’s roof nev- |T, If. MORGAN, Printer. NO. 2(5 or to return. His famous entry in his diary, “I did not leave her. I did not send her away, and I will never recall her,” was perhaps jus tified by her conduct. Y’et it is difficult not to feel that John Wes ley, like Mr. Frou le’s Henry VIII., ought to have lived in a world where there were no women.-- The Spec tator. The fitist Invitation. “And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” These are Jesus -worts. He is a Friend who has something He wish cs you to enjoy, lie says, “Come” Why ? 110 loves U3. lie will save us from a wrong life now, and from tho suTering which would follow such a life. Ho will mako us liko Mimself, gentle, loving, obedient, pure. lie will bring us to the New Jerusalem by and by, and give us “right ro the tree of life,” and all the joys of heaven. How can we come to Him? If your father or a friend whom you know loves you says, “Gome, 1 have something for you,” what do ■ you do; You take them at their word, you go to them, are willing to do as they wish, thgn you do it, and take the gift. In tho same way you may come to'Jesus and receive a much greater gift. But you ask, “Where is he, that I may go to Him? Heis a spirit. But when you want Him tie is always near, though you do not see Him. Hri Spirit puts the thoughts about Him self into your heart, and shows you that you need Him, and by this you may always know that He is at your side. lie asks, “Will you love Me ? * Are you willing to for sake your sins and do My work ? Then do it, and I will stay with you, and teach you the right way to live for Me.” H ; /to invites us come? The Spirit. It invites us in all the precious promises we find in tko Jlihla. It says, “Coma,” Ly putting good thoughts, feelings, and wishes into our hearts. It ra3’s, “Como,” by the teachers, friends, and strangers, whom it moves to tell about Jesus, and show the need of a Savoiuv. The bride says, “Come.” Who is the Lrido ? The Bible call Chris tians the bride ? All who love the Saviour ate His bride. They be long to Him. True Christians in vito other to share their blessings by the beauty of their Christlike* lives, by their good examples, and by their kink words and acts. Tn this way you are leading others to Jesus. There are also fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters in heaven, who are saying, “Cotne.” Any one who ha- heard about Je sits may tell Ills love to others, for the text says, “Lot him that hear eth say, Come.” Family Worship. Fainily religion is of unspeaka ble importance. Its effect will greatly depend on the sincerity of the head of the family, and on his mode of conducting the worship of his house-hold. If his children and servants do not see his prayer exemplified in his temper and man ners, they will be disgusted with religion. Tediousness will weary {them. Fine language vill shoot I above them. Formality ofoonnec jtion or composition they will not comprehend. Gloominess or aus terity of devotion will make them dread religion as a hard service.^— Let them be met with smiles. Let them ho met as for the most delight ft l service in which they can be en gaged. Let them fiud it short, sa vory, simple, plain, tenderly, heav enly. Worship, thus conducted, may bo used as an engine of vast power in a family. It diffuses a sympathy through the members.—j It calls off the mind from tho dead dening effect worldly affairs. It arrests every member, with a morn ing and evening sermon, in tho midst of all the hurries and care of life. It says, “There is a God!” “Thefc is a spiritual world?” “There is a life to eome!” It fixes 'the idea of responsibility in the ! mind. It furnishes a tender and judicious father or master with an opportunity of gently glancing at faults, where a direct admonition might he inexpedient. It enables him to relieve the weight with which subordination or service often sits on the minds of inferiors. The New York Sun predicts that Mr. Seward will be the next Pres*, dent, and Horace Greeley fib rotary.
