KAtI.CKK TO WKIi MISS SOPHIA' CIIUtSTTXA HOPKKY DROVE HIM FROM GEORGIA. “Cherchez la femme, ’’ says 11lie Frenchman. In almost every stream there is a point] where a human hand might turn its current, and at that point in human .'ivfs woman, as a rule, presides. The found er <d' Methodism is an eminent instance at point. The biographers id' Wesley have not shirked the painful episode which drove him out of Georgia. They have, on the j contrary, taken much pains to j find out and publish all the 1 facts. Wesley landed ituGeorgia on ) February 5, liiiii, and seems to have at one*'become acquainted ! with a young lady of good sense and elegant in person and nian j tiers, of the name of Sophia j Christina Hopkey. She was the neiee of the wife of Thomas iCauston, who was flu* “chief ' inugist rate.’’ and w ho was after | forwards turnel out of all his [ offices for grossly abusing his ! power as keeper of the public to settle on the land that the trustees had alloted to them. The best that can be said about him is that he was a respectable rascal. Miss Hopkey was introduced to Wesley as a sincere inquirer after salvalioji. She was assid uous in her attendance at church, took every opportunity to be in Weshyv’s company and asked him to assist her in study ing French. Oglethorpe, the governor, did his best to help the courtship, which fact goes to prove that she was deemed worthy of being the helpmeet of Weshy by one whose judg ment was law to the colony. Siam after Wesley was pros trated with fever for about a week and the young lady at tended him night and day and would hardly allow Delnmotte, Wesley’s friend, to do anything for him. At this time she con sulted Oglethorpe as to what kind of female dress Wesley liked the best, for ho held fixed opinions on the mutter. The result of the consultation was that she came to Wesley’* lodg ings always neatly and simply dressed in white. Young Delttlllotte now begun to be suspicious and asked Wa-ley if he meant t>< marry Miss Hopley. The question puz zled Wesley. He saw that Del amotte was prejudiced against the lady and waived an answer. With almost silly simplicity Wesley at last resolved to suit id it the matter to the elders of the Moravian church. When ho entered the house where they were met together he found Delamotte among them. Nitseh maun, the Moravian bishop, said: *’We have considered your case; will you abide by our de cision ?” After some hesitation Wesley replied, . “1 will.” ‘•Then," said Nitschinann, “wo advise yon to proceed no furl her in t lie matter. ” Wesley answered: “The will of the Lord be done! ” Wesley was. undoubtedly in love, and, like all lovers, did s«tine foolish things. His eon duct before and after the de cision of the Moravian elders was given, should he viewed in 1 connection with Wesley’s views iof the relation that should e - * ist between pastor and peopl *. Weslev at this time was a high j churchman, a Pnso\ ite an hu - ilrcd years before Dr Fusi v flourished. lie excluded dis senters from communion; 1c : insisted upon Ihe s> eond bap tism of some who sought nu n;. ] bership; ho recoined Roman Catholics as saints; lie endeav ored to establish and enforce confession, penance, and morti fication, and appointed deacon essos. Miss Ilopkoy was put under the care of this strict, young, ascetic pnVson. She was one of his early morning congregation, and constantly went to his lodgings in order to b« furl In r instruened. He fell in love with her, and there can tie lii tie doubt that he made pro posals to marry "her, and, if his own incliiiations were carried out, the marriage would have taken place. 'These are snm* extracts from his nupiiblishe I dairy: "Oct. 20, 1780. I took boat for Savannah with Miss Sophy. In the beginning of December I advised Miss Sophy to sup car* Her, and not immediately be fore she went to bed. She did so, and on this little circnn - stance what an inconceivable train of consequences depend ! Not only ‘All the color of mv remaining life’ for her; but perhaps all my happiness, too. in 1 into and eternity. "March 7. 1 s:t7. —1 walked with Mr. Mansion to bis country lot, and plainly felt that, had God given me such a retirement with the companion I d< sin < I should have forgi t tli" worl for which 1 was born, and l'n\ sot up my rest in the woi 1 , “March S. —Miss Sophy oi gaged herself to Mr. William* son, *a person not remarkable for handsomeness, neither for greatness, neither for wit c knowledge, or sense, and D- a - of all religion; and on Sat ip day, March 12th, four day after, they were married a birrv.lJHrK —nils nellig 1 lie ilfl which completed the year frnn my first speaking to her. Wlra thou doest, () (bid, I know no now. but 1 shall know her after.” It was a seven- hi >w to Wo - ley. Forty-nine years aftei he wrote in reference to t! • event: “I remember when 1 ren these words in the church a Savannah, ‘Son of mm, In hold, 1 take from thee the di sire of thine eyes with nstrnki I was pierced through as will a sword, and could not utter word more. But our com fol ia, He that made the heart en: heal the heart. ” Ho also wrote to lus brother Samuel, at that time, who im plied : “I am sorry you were disai pointed in the match, becatisi you are very unlikely to fin another. ” These words were prophetic Years after this Wcslev mu tied, but his married tile wa notoriously unhappy. Tie course of his early love did ie i run smooth, tail the course o his wedded life was a cordtire road all the way. Wesley continued to pay pa (oral attentions to Mrs Wil liainson, at w hich her somew hat slow-witted husband took 11 in tirage, and forbade his wife to attend church or speak again b Wesley. It must be borne in mind that Wesley's insisting upon frequent communion had antagonized many husband and employers ot labor, became some were led to neglect t licit work. Mrs. Mjilliunisnii. how ever, presented herself again a communion, and Wesley tun!, iMvasion to reproach soinetl i >g. in her recent Uhavior Tin made her extremely angry, anil three days later, Causton, ae oompanied by the hailin' un.l the recorder, came to dennitid an explanation, Wesley guv* his visitors to iindcrstund'thal, in the execution of his oflici and acting without respect of persons, lie might tlqd i nece snry to expel one of Cilll-f ll’s family from the holy commun ion. He further told the ‘chief magistrate’ what the people of Savannah were saying against his magisterial proceedings. All this made the coming storm more threatening. Five mouths alter her mar- riage Weslev refused to allow Mrs. Williamson toJ join the Lord's supper. The next day Mr. Recorder issued a warrant for t lie apprehension of "John W esley. Clerk,” and command ed the constables and tithing* men to bring him before one of the bailiffs of Savannah to an swer the complaint of William Williamson for defaming his wife and refusing to administer to her the sacrament of the Lord’s supper, in a public con gregation, without cause, by which the said William Wil liamson was damaged I,(XM> pounds sterling. Wesley was arrested and car ried before Mr. Rail iff Darker and Mr. Recorder Christie. Ho repudiated the power of the court to interrogate him about his ecclesiastical duties, 'flu* baililV told him that* he must appear at the next Savannah court. Williamson demanded bail, but Wesley's word was suflicient for t lie court. Causton now began to read extracts from Wesley’s corres pondence with himself mid Miss Sophy, to the disadvantage of Wesley, and took other meas ures to prejudice the minds of the men who were to form the grand jury at the Savannah court. The grand jury num bered forty-four, a fifth part of the male population. A list of ‘grievances" was drawn up tq show that Wesley had deviated! from ‘ the principles and regu lations of England." A ma jority of the jury found ten in dictments. A minority of 12 drew up a report "to the hon orable the trustees of Georgia," in which all the facts in the in flict incuts, with two exceptions, vere admitted, but that the jifosecution was inspired by the malice of Causton and others. Wesley again said that the court had no power to trv him on nine out of ten idictmonts, and as to the tenth—his rela tion- with Mrs. Williamson—he demanded there and then to lie tried. Rut the court decided to postpone the trial' to 'the ie*xt setting, and so it was post poned from one sitting to an othef until Wesley at last inti mated his intention to leave the colony for England. This cre ated a great commotion. Wil liamson advertised that he had brought a charge for l,o<>O pounds damages against Wesley and that if anyone assisted his • ■scape from the colony he would lie visited with tie* utmost rigor >f the law. The magistrate cautioned Wegley not to leave tie* colony, and ofileers were commanded to proviut his de nari tire. Wesley was i.ow a prisoner at large w ith no expec tation of having his ease tried soon. One evening after public prayer, he set out in a boat for Purrysburg, a distance of about twenty miles, and thus left Sa vannah and Georgia forever. After landing in F.uglund he visited Ogh-thrope, in London, and waited upon the Georgian trustees, gave them a written account why he had left the eolohy, and returned to them the instrument whereby they had appointed him minister of Savanah. r eel ess questions might he asked as to what might have happened hud this love affair ot Wesley prospered. There re mains one other fact to he men tioned. Dr. Dixon says; “It is a remarkable fact that though Suva nail is the chief city of Georgia, Methodism has never been as strong in it as in ot her cities in < leorgiu. A VA LI ABU? PItFHt’KIP TION.

G A Rt i E VIT'NKET. MKKTS A CON TENTED ml'l»|.E FROM j GWINNETT. From a letter written to the Constitution by Sarge Plunket I we clip the follow ing incident: The only satisfied folks that I have had the pleasure of see ing for over a year I saw yester- j ' day. They were from the up per edge of Gwinnett county and were paying Atlanta a visit' for the fust time in their liveß. They drove a small mountain mule to a little one-horse wngon and had led a fat young steer behind which they proposed to sell for beef in the city. All went well on (lie trip and when they arrived to where they could look upon the dome of theenpi tol and view the gree.t blocks of Luildinoa mid chimneys they were struck with feelings they never Imd before. Slowly they moved toward the great pano rama lost in wonder at the view till they had crossed the rail road tracks at the end of Deca tur street and were just climb ing up the little hill to where the electric ca r s stop and turn back. The folks had never seen an electric car. and but precious few steam cars, the steer bad never been out of the woods be t fore and it was the first times the mule's feet had ever touch ed belgiun blocks or heard the wagons rumble over them. But ; cars care nothing for people from Gwinnatt, much less for a steer and a little old mule from | Gwinnett, and here came the electric car shooting right to ward them. The mule got scaled, the stesr got scared, tin old man got scared and the old woman got frantic. It was the worst scramble seen in Atlanta since the war, I guess, to get turned around and run back to ward home. About the time they did get turned here rumen freight down the Georgia rood and just then another lung train : came up tho Richmond and Danville track. They were hemmed, nnd what to do or what would have been done it is hard to tell if it had not been for the help that rushed out to the scone. A kind police man cut the rope that held the steer and which had 1 ifed the little wagon all to one side, others grabbed the little mule and let him bellow, while still others struggled with the old people to keep them from run ning through the big gluss win j d'*W s. it was mighty easy for the old man to agree to give up the steer for damages, und then le gate his apples to those who would gather them up and help him buck over the railroad tracks. Once hack over the railreud with his mule's In-ad set for Gwinnett county, they looked hack ever their shoulders and then whipped up the mule w ith a feeling of relief they had never felt before. They fed under a tree at De catur and I had a pleasant talk with them. It was pleasant, Ireyuuse the old people were per fectly happy. "Lawiencevillc is big enough for me,” said the old man. “Aud I never want to see uu 1.00 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE ILghest of all in Leavening Power.- Latest U.S. Gov’t Rcpor Powder PURE other white house,” said the old woman. It refreshed its to taik to these old lolks. They return hone perfectly satisfied—don't even grieve over the loss of their steer. How few people do we And like them. J ust start out to find contented people if you please. The rich ere not satis fied, the farmers are not satis lied, the poor an* not satisfied, town tolks are not satisfied, wo men are not satisfied, children are not satisfied and even preachers grumble. 1 believe now in my soul the only two satisfied people in the world are to he found in Gwinnett coun ty, if you can find the humble home of my old friends of last week. T have sent word to our young friend ' Doss" l’owell to find these old folks in their homes and to send me their names, ns I have unfortunately lost tic .v address—they ought to I>• * known. A WRECKED LIFE. Some time ago a man about fifty years of age left his broth er's house alone and apparent ly empty handed, and did not come back. From a letter r«-1 ceived soon after, and from his well known discouraged state of mind, his going was sadly in terpreted by friends, and they feard tin* worst, it was one ot those ‘mysterious dissuppenr ances,' the readiest explanation of which is despair and suicide. The man was a skilled artisan, and an inventor whose patent- ed devices had again and again brought profit to his employers; I but his mental working power was gone, and his hand had 10-d its cunning. Strmg drink, that years ago made him its i slave, had left him useless when hardly past his prime With a lady, one of his neighbors, he conversed freely a little while] before his disappearance, and I this is the substance of what he j said; “I wish the young could real ize how many useful tilings the world is wuiting for. and could be taught to look for them. In an age of progress like this the most successful workers are those who find new and better ways. Encourage every sign of young ingenuity. Tell a boy that any talent to think and do will bless the world, it it does not make hisgortune. A lucky thought is a prize everywhere It is a God-given gift. So is the brain that originates it. Tell him that. “And tell him to leave stim ulants and narcoties alone, and save his brain. I blame nobody but myself that I did not mind this caution when I was young; though it seems strange that | nobody ever warned me. “At nineteen I was on the high road to success, and my -kill was in quick demand; but I fell into fast company, unit drunk—drank til it became s habit to drink. I never shook otl'the curse till it ruined my faculties L< ok ut the wreck it has made of me. It is too late now. 1 cannot think to a point, und my hand cannot make a perfect draft.” The unfortunate man had never expressed himself so free ly before. He may never be le-urd from ugaiu. Life—as it seemed to bis des|»erato mood— had ceased to be worth living, lb- was a frequent amt eager reader of the Companion, and felt an interest in tho welfare of the youthful world it fills. His lust words of warning seem fitly placed in those pages; uid every such example repeats once more to the youth of the land, ‘ Your faculties are God given gifts. Conquer tempta tion, and keep them whole.’’— outh's ('oinpanion. A movement is under way in England to stop or regulate the fining of employes in stores.

Il a queer how some people w ill argue smd argue and put all their domestic peace to flight disputting about the nter "st trifle,” said Mr. .fawner to his wife one evening, aecordiiii to the Detroit Free Press. “J was over to Tom Dawson’s (he j other day, and he and his wife got into a regular quarrel over i whether souk* little trilling event loin had been talking about occurred on Tuesday or Wednesday. It wasn’t of the slightest consequence which day it occurred. “'Tell, I suppose that Mrs. Daws in felt that she was right about the day it occurred,” said Mrs. Jaw tier. "ell, what il she was?’said •lawner, a trifle sharply. "It didn’t make a straw’s difference "|| '!i t it occurred on Tuesday or .Saturday.' “Why did Dawson nrgue about the matter, then?’ "Well, why did his silly wife make herself ridiculous disput ing about it ?’ “She wasn’t any sillier than he was.’ “She was. too.’ I d like to know how you make t hat out ?’ 'Decause she began the argu ment.’ 11 1 at was no reason why Dawson should keep it up. If V; d been a gentleman he— ’ "He was as much of a gentle man as she was a lady. It was very laid manners for her to break into his conversation as she did.’ “It was worse manners fur him to quarrel with her before a third party. Why didn't he pass it over liy saving lightly: \ery well, my dear, perhaps H was Tuesday.’ ” "Because he felt sure that it happened on Wednesday.” hut if it, did? You've said over and over that it was of no consequence when it hun pend.’* es. and thut's what made Mr. Dawson s interference si* perfectly idiotic.” "’I es. and that's what made Dawson's p« rformance so utter ly absurd 1 don't blame her a bit.’’ "I don't blame Dawson.
