CHARLES WESLEY
ABSENT MINDED.
N.ashville Christian Advocate.
Charles Wesley, one hundred and
'twenty-one of whose songs are sent
forth anew in the Methodist Hymnal.
was perhaps the mast winning per
sonality of all that gifted family. A
writer in the Lon,don Vesleyan Mag
azine gives some itraditions of - his
daily life and its association with
Marvlebone church, where h- now
lies -uried. When in middle life he
fe. tlhe call to leave Bristol and take
up mssion work in the city of Lon
don, he and ihis beloved wife were
mucra troubled for want of a house
to live in. They at last betook them
selves to prayer. The answer to that
prayer is Qne of she romances of
Methodism. It came in the shape of
a letter from a rich wijow who offer
-ed them her house in Maryleb'one to
be used as their own.
W6th his devoted wife, Sarah, and
his 'two little sons settled in his home,
Wesley used to ride about the lanes
of the village (as it was then) on a
plump gray pony, busy. with -his mis
sion work and composing 'his fambuS
hymns as he rode. He was so absent
minded that 'he wAs likely to cut his
best friends wvhel they met him. The
sight of his' rosy, handsome face and
'his stout figure, clad in the blue coat
which had served him many years,
was a signal- for those who knew him
best to run out and forcibly seize his
bridle, and thus insure the merry,
fatherly greeting which 'he was ready
to give once his attention was arrest
ed.
When a special inspira'tion came to
him during one of this rides, he would
drop the reins, place his hands on
his hips an;d, turning his iblue eyes
to heaven, become, oblivious to all
around him, his pony.following mean
while its own -will. If -one spoke to
him .h-e did not heed, but looking
blankly at the speaker and rode on.
If he came to a house 'he would sud
denly dismount, tie his pony to the
railings, and, entering, whether he
knew 'the people or not, violently de
manded paper and pen to set down
hi's preious thoughts. When this
was done 'he would awake to con
sci.ousness of 'his surroun-dings and,
turning, woul.d say "Peace to this
house," so sweetly that' all hearts
were won and all breaches of etiquette
forgotten.
li1 spite of his seeming dissent, he
came to be one of the 'beloved cele
brities of the place, as h'e 'spent 'his
'busy life' in mission wo.rk, preach
ing in the open air, and singing his
own' hymns in his sweet baritone
voice on the 'streets at t'h'e' outdoor
services. His .personality was ex
tremely attractive. He was larger,
stouter, more genial than his brother,
John, but with the same 'handsome,
'clear-cut features. His wife and chil
dren adored him and thought nothing
too hard 'to 'do for him or to bear
from him. The rector of Maryle
~bone 'himself was quite won b'y the
Icharm of the "Methodist" preacher,
and came to visit him constantly. in
deed, 'the delightful musical evenings
at the Wesley home drew many visi
tors. The two played exquisi1tely up
on Handel's own 'hai-p&ihord, w'hich'
had been given to them, and Mrs.
,Wesley was also an excellent musi
cian.
It was in the churchyard at Mary
lebone that the singer was buried :by
his own wish when he died, at eighty
years of age. A grave had already
'been provided for him in City Road
Chapel, but he chose rather to lie
a't the' feet of the church 'that he had
loved, although she had 'spurned his
offices and 'despised 'his services. His
memory brings now hun'dreds every
year to visit the prim little church
whose only hold on fame is that there
rests the dust of a true poet and a
great Christian.
Joke Of The Deep Sea.
SNew York Press.
"The sea's pressure is almost in
credible," 'said t'he clubman. "If you
descend deep enough, it would crush
you, bones and all, to a mass of red.
dish m'ud. Off Scicily last winter we
ran out of ice, and some one suggest
ed ~that to cool the cham'pagne for
dinner we lower it 'half; a wile or so
into the sea's depths.
"This, was done 'and at dinner time
the thbree bottles came up delightfully
cool. But when we opened them we
found that they con'tained nothing 'but
salt water. The sea's pressure had
forced the water in through 'the pores
in the corks, ~dispIacing the lighter
L liqid."
DESIRABLE, WELL IMPROVED
REAL ESTATE
For Sale.
I offer for sale, subject to the leases
on the property, two of the most con
veniently located and most desirable
h:>uses and lots in the city.
"The Brown place" on the corner of
Caldwell- and Boundary streets, con
taining-a half an acre, more or less,
with a good two story residence with
seven large rooms, besides large kitchen,
pantry and two bath rooms, house in
the yard, good barn and stables, good
garden. The residence has electric
lights, water works and sewerage, and
is the best property in the city for sale.
I also offer "The Metts place," on
the same square-lot about the same
size-with the most comfortable cot
tage on it in the place. It contains six
large comfortable rooms, besides large
kitchen and pantry, a two-room ser
vants house in the yard, a good gar
den and stables. The residence has
electric lights, water works and
sewerage, and is. a delightful home.
I improved both of these places for a
home for myself, and my object in sell
ing them now, is to use the money to
pay for the improvements I have put
on these places and my present .home,
and to put the balance in my business
which I bave enlarged in the past six
months, and which I hope to make still
larger than it is today. If you want a
valuable, convenient and comfortable
home this is your opportunity.
