Charit? Wesley. Charles Wesley, one hundred and twenty-one of whose songs are sent forth anew in the Methodist Hymnal, was perhaps the most winuing per sonality of all that gifted family. A writer in the London Wesleyan Magazine gives some traditions of I bis daily lifo and its association with Marylebone church, whero he now lies buried. When in middle life he felt the call to leave Bristol and take up mission work in tho city of Lon don, he and his boloved wife wore much troubled for want of a IIOUBO to live in. They at last betook thom Helves to prayer. Tho answer to that prayer is one of the romances of Methodism. It came in the shape of a letter from a rich widow who offered them her house in Maryle bone to be used as their own. With his devoted wife, Sarah, and his two little sons settled in this borne, Wesley used to ride about tho lanes of the village (as it was then) on a plump gray pony, busy with his mission work and composing his famous hymns as he rode. He was so absent-minded that be was likely to cut bis best friends when they met him. Tho sight of bis rosy, hand some face and his stout figure, clad in the blue coat which had served him many years, was a signal for those, who knew bim best to run out and forcibly seize his bridle, and thus insure the merry, fatherly greet ing which ho was ready to give once his attention was arrested. When a special inspiration came to bim during one of bis rides, be would drop the reins, place Iiis hands on his hips and, turning Iiis blue eyes to heaven, become oblivious to all around him, bis pony following meanwhile its own will. If one spoke to bim lu* did not heed, but looked blankly at the speaker and rode on. If he came to a house he would suddenly dismount, tie his [pony to the railings, and, entering, whether he knew tho people or not, violently demand paper and pon to ?et down his precious thoughts. When this was done he would awake to oon8oiousness of his surroundings and, turning, would say, "Peace to Ibis house," so sweetly that all hearts were won and all breaches of eti quette forgotten. In spite of his seeming dissent, be carno to bo one of the beloved celebri ties of thc plaee, as be spent his busy life in mission work, preaching in tho open air, and singing bis own hymns in bis sweet baritone voice on thc streets at the outdoor services. ?li? personality was extremely at tractive. Ile was larger, stouter, more genial than bis brother, .lohn, but with the same handsome, clear cut features. His wife and children adored him and thought nothing too bard to do for bim or to bear from him. Tho rector of Marylebone himself was quito won by tho charm of tho "Methodist11 preacher, and caroo to visit him constantly. In deed, tho delightful musical even ings at tho Wesley home drew many visitors. The two talented little BOUS, Charles and Samuel, played .exquisitely upon Handel's own bar)) You Must Sleep. If yon cannot, it is due to an irritated or congested state of the brain, which will soon dc vcl?pe into nervous prostration. Nature demands sleep, and it is as important as food; it is a part of lier building and sustaining process. This period of unconsciousness relaxes thc Illental and physical strain, and allows nature to restore ex hausted vitality. Dr. Miles' Nervine brings refreshing sleep, because it .soothes the irritation and re liiovcs thc congestion. It is also a nerve builder; it nourishes and strengthens ev ery nerve in your body, and creates energy in all the Organs?

It was In the ohurohyard at Mary lebone that the sluger was buried by his own wish when he died, at eighty years of age.

On arriving at his house he tried to unlock the door, but could not get the supposed key into the lock. A man who happened to be passing at the time noticed him fumbling at tho door and asked bim wdiat ho was doing. Ho re plied : "Why, trying to unlock tho door. I want to get in." "Why, man," said thc other, "do you know you're trying to unlock it with a cigarette ? "Am I ? Then, by gosh ! I must have smoked the key !" Boars the {Signature of This Yoar's Corn Crop. Tho value of the yield of corn for 1005 I is shown by tho Intov-Occan in tho fol lowing comparisons: "At an average of ' 60 couts a bushel-and corn is well above I that prico in tho Chicago markot-the I corn crop will bo worth $l,:l 12,500,000. I On September 1 our National debt, in ! eluding all outstanding greenbacks, was $1,283,121,080. So with our corn crop wo could pay oil* tho entire National debt, and redeem every greenback in gobi, and j still have nearly $30,000,000 left to cele brate tho feat. Wo could, from our corn crop alone, and if there were any reason for so doing, give every man, woman and child of tho 80,000,000 people in this na tion, over $lii cacti to buy a Thanksgiv ing dinner. Wo could with our corn I cop pay off overy bond and redeem every share of tho United States Steel corporation, make tho shareholders for? 1 get that dividends wore over passed and ; have ovor $400,000,000 left for tho relief i of other trusts. We could with our corn crop pay rho hoirs of overy Equitable policy-holder tho faco of his policy with j out waiting for bim to die and without touching tho company's assets at all." 1 The Inter-Ocean concludes. "Wo could play all sorts of tricks with our corn crop, so enormous and so valuable is it. And yet this is only one of our crops. When WO consider it and the others we may well rejoice and thank Cod for our goodly heritage." OASTOniA. Boars the The Kimi You Hara Always Bought THE NEWS IN BRIEF FORM.
