Elje ctorß—fErlitr, HONORA'S DECISION. It was a pretty and picturesque sight that met Belton Black's gaze as he paused among the clustering birches of the wood. Nora Leigh was seated on the gras;, with one rosy child on her lap and two or three others scattered round, her fair cheeks crimsoned ; and the braids of bronze brown hair shining beneath the cottage bonnet tint she wore. [ She looked up radiantly as her lover's shadow fell across the tangled ferns of the •oodland glade. "Belton, is it yotll ?" she cried. "Send the children away," said he, im patiently; "I want to talk to you." "They will not disturb us." "They will disturb me." A look of pain came over Ilonora's sweet, submissive face. "Charley," said she to the eldest lad, .'take Katie and Null to where the black berries grow Johnny can carry the baskets, and see how many berries you can pick before I conic." Charley obeyed without a word ; but the defiant glance which he bent on Mr Black from beneath his knitted brows stowed that be fully c , ,wprehended the situation of things. "I hate that man," said he to Katie. "Oh, Charlie," cried out the innocent child, "that's very wicked " "I can't help it," replied Charley. "He's cross and scolds Nora, and I hate him." In the meanwhile Belton Black bad seated himself on the grass beside Honora Leigh and thrown one arm carelessly around ber waist. "Nora, I've made up my mind " : "As to what ?" She looked up fondly into his dark, Cas iilian faeo. : •'As to the propriety of our being mar tied next month Jennings says lam to Mare a partnership, and I see my way clear t once. I've spoken to the agent about .be little house in Clifton street, and—" I. '' I. "Oh, Belton. do you think that house 1 he large enough ?'' interrupted Ilonora, a troubled face. "Large enough for what ?" `'For the children. There are four of ,- i, you know, and—" i '.No," said Mr. Black, abruptly. —I v . 't think it will be large enough—l illila't mean that it should You surely Can not intend, Honora. to burden our household with your aunt's four children ? They are nothing to me, and they should be nothing to you. I dara say I can find some excellent institution where—"_ _ "I promised my aunt on her dying bed that the children should never lack a moth er's care," said Honors, who had grown very pale. "And you have kept your word," broke in Black, impatiently. "For two years ycu have fed, clothed, and supported them out of your slender earnings. It's all nonsense to keep up this sort of thing any longer. The boys are big enough to work ; the g irls anicasily be provided for in an orphan asylum " "Oh, Belton—never!' "Just as you please," said Mr Black, his face growing as hard as adamant. "But remember one thing, Non, you must choose between we and them." Honora uttered a sobbing cry. "Belton, Belton," wailed she, .'how can you be so hard ?" "I am only sensible and practical " "They are so little, so helpless Oh, I cannot turn them over to the cruel mercies of the world," pleaded Honora. "That must be for you to decide." She sat for a minute looking at the tiny child figures as they flitted about on the edge of the wood, listening to their inno cent laughter; then she looked up into his face. "I have decided," said she. "I cannot leave the children." Belton Black's brow grew dark as night. "Very well," said he, rising to his feet; "you know all that implies." "Yes," in a low, tremulous tone. "And you are willing to abide by it ?" "Yes " "Good by, then," extending a cold hand "Good by, Belton." And her eyes fillowed him with a vague. facivated gaze, as he strode out 'of the green glade, and was loot to view. "Have I done right ?" she asked her self, with a sharp pain at her heart; and then, as little Nelly came up, crying out, "Nora Nora, me got a fora in me finger !" and holding up the tiny digit, with tear stained cheeks, she caught the child in her arms and sobbed out : "God help we! Yes, I have done right, for the orphan little ones have no one but me " So Ilonora Leigh went back to her life of patient drudgery and ceaseless toil once more. And the rich gentleman on the first floor, who saw her go in and out with her little satchel of books and her roll .of music, asked her landlady who she was. `•lt's Miss Leigh, sir," said the woman. "A daily governess, and one of the sweet est, self denying young ladies as ever gave up her life for the benefit of others." "Hump !" said the rich gentleman.— "There are not many such in the world." "No, sir; indeed there's not !" said Mrs. Moore. How the rich gentleman on the first floor became acquainted with the daily governess—how the children began to run in and out of his room, and ask him to tell them marvelous stories of America, whence he came—and how at last pretty Honora went back to America with him as his wife, would make too long a recital in de tail. Suffice it to say that such was the fact. `'God bless the little ones," Mr Bon field said ; "there's room and to spare for thew in my home. And, to my thinking, there is no sweeter sound about a house than children'3 voices. And if anything could have made Hon ora love her husband more dearly than she had done before, it would have been these words of his. As the years went by, and the little children grew up into health and beauty, and Honors, in her satins, had almost for gotten the sore straits of her early girl hood, when one day the past was recalled to her by a most unexpected accident "If you please, Mrs Bonfield," said the cook one day, an honest, warm hearted Milesian, "Tim says there's a poor family sittlire down in the old cottage by the gates as is 'most starvin'. 'Sure', says Ito Tim, 'why don't you tell the missus?' Says he : 'What for wud I be both.erin' her, and they within' to her ?' Says I : 'The band of her never was closed again the sick an' the poor, an' I'll tell her, Tim,' says I, 'if you don't.' " "You are quite right, Mary," said Mrs. Bonfield. "I will go this evening and in quire into the case." And with Charley carrying a basket in which was piled a goodly supply of jelly, wine, home bread, and hot.house grapes, Honora walked to the ruined cottage at dusk. Alas ! for the squalor and poverty of the wretched place—a candle burning on the hearth, a gaunt form outstretched on a heap of straw, with fever glowing cheeks. and eyes rolling restlessly in their sunken sockets, while by the door sat a faded woman,rockiog a child to and fro in her lap. "I hope we're not intruding, ma'm, " said she, with something of a lady's tour test' and accent; "but my husband could go no farther. We are on our way to Omaha, where he thought he could get employment "You are quite welcome to stay here." said Mrs. Bonfield, gently ; "and I will send you some things from the house to make you more comfortable. Your hus band's name is" "Black, ma'm, Belton Black. We've had bad luck, and we thought perhaps he might do better here," sighed the woman. "But I heartily wish we had stayed in England." Ilonora Bonfield's heart beat violently as she advanced a pace or two toward the wretched heap of straw where the yellow flicker of the candle light faintly illumin ated a face which she would have scarcely recognized—the face of Belton Black. He died the next night, and never knew that the compassionate eyes of his old sweetheart had rested pityingly on him in these last hours. And the simple headstone that was reared over his remains in the cemetery was placed there throueh Honora Bonfield's charity. tlett Methodism--No. 4. SKETCHES OF ITS EARLY HISTORY, J. R. FLANIGEN From the Philadelphia Record.] It is a notable circumstance that while Methodism had its origin in England, the first "conference" of ministers there was not held until 1774, or a year later than that held in Philadelphia, in 1773. This may be accounted for by he fact there was greater need for preachers to come together for the transaction of business in this country than existed in England, where Mr. Wesley was the supreme direetor of affairs. The spirit of republicanism seem ed to be an ingredient, .or rather, perhaps. we would say an inspiration of the Metho dist birth. It is also likely that the more advanced ideas of the people generally. here had an ithportant influence to;pisptt, the movement in an organized condition. The men engaged in the work ori of the Atlantic, although, as seed previous article, for the most part d : to the hothe Government, were en'•ed to the same extent by the tradlgiak of the Old Church, as were those eno44 in England, beside, the people who jojotell, the Methodists here came largely frolft tke! Moravians, and those who bad, to tent, been recognized as Lutherans; and, in addition to all this, there was surround ing the preachers in America a moral of progress which was not experienced on the other side of the water. As the virgin soil of a new country is richer and greatly more productive when prepared for cultivation than that of an old one,,k) it has ever been found that the people, beke men and women, who settle it, are more actively progressive, and we shall therefore find that in point of num bers, wealth and power, American Meth odism has kept in advance of that of the mother country. It is also a subject for gratulation that American Methodism has been much less a subject of division into sub sects than it has in Great Britain ; and here again we are brought to a reali zation of the superiority of those Amer; can institutions which give form, charac ter and faith to the various denominations that are fostered by their benign influence. THE PIONEERS OF LOCAL METHODISM in Philadelphia have long since been re tired to their well earned rest in the man sions of their God, but their descendants are yet with us, many of them occupying honored places not only in the Church, but in other relations of life; and it may hence be worth while to recall the names of a few of those who first braved the sneer and reproach of such persons as affected to despise the adherents of Wesley. The old Saint George's church, to which we referred somewhat briefly in our last paper, after being sold by order of the Provincial Assembly, and purchased by young Hock ley (probably Heeckly), was conveyed to Miles Pennington, a tallow chandler, who was a member of the infant society ; and Mr. Asbury, when referring to the church for some years after its purchase and pO9 session, mentioned it as "our preaching house," so it would seem the name Saint George's, by which it is now known, was not given to it until about the year 1781, after which time he determined it in his writings. Doctor Lednum, referring to the first improvement of the building by which it was made ready as a place of worship, said, "It was floored from end to end, and more comely seats were put in it, with a new pulpit like a tall tub on a post, which was the fashion of the times, but one of the worst fashions that ever was for a pulpit." Watson, in his Annals, says it was "A dreary, cold looking place in winter time, when, from the leaky stove pipe, mended with clay, the smoke would frequently is sue and fill all the house," and describing the pnlpit he says : "About twenty feet from the east end there stood a square thing not unlike a watchbox with the top sawed off—rather an obscure description after all, perhaps to thousands of our read ers, who have not the slightest knowledge concerning what was the watchbox of half a century ago that was found fastened down on the pavement at many of the street corners in the city. Here we may pause for a moment to notice the temper of Mr. Watson's refer ence to Methodism in his Annals, every line of which, nearly betokens the preju diced mind. It is only about twenty years since Mr. Watson's book passed through the press, albeit the ill natured remarks indulged in concerning a denomination of people now so extensive were probably written many years previously; but ail that he has to say of Methodism is in the worst possible taste, and it is to be hoped that, if the work i. ever republished, the editor, who ever he may be, will have the disore tien to eliminate the offensive passages. Dr. Lednum, referring to the contempt for the early Methodists as evinced by some persons in the olds n time, narrates the ease of an individual who always made it a point, as he said, to cross to tha oth er side of Fourth street when about to pass Saint George's. Now, the same indiVldll- al, if living, and maintaining the same prejudice, would probably walk on the rail way track, and thus keep as far away as possible from the two extremes. But to return. Mr. Pennington convey ed the old church to Richard Boardman, Joseph Pillmore, Thomas Webb, Edward Evans, Daniel Montgomery, John Dowers, Edmund Beach, Robert Fitzgerald and James Emerson. The sail loft property at Dock Creek, in which the society had previously worshipped, belonged to a Mr. Croft, who was also a prominent Metho dist. In 1789 the trustees of the church were James Kenear, Thomas Aranatt, Jacob Baker and John Hood, "the sweet singer" as he was termed, and who for many years stood in front of the ugly pul pit, and, "raising the hymns" led the con gregation in singing. James Dougherty Josiah Liseby, Duncan Stewart and Bur ton Wallace were also trustees at the same time, Lambert Wilmer, who was a militia officer during the Revolutionary . War, was also a prominent Methodist. Robert Fitzgerald, already mentioned as one of the first of the trustees of Saint George's, was one of the most earnest and active men in the connection. He was a block and pump maker, and lived in the neighborhood of Penn and Shippen, DOW Bainbridge street, very probably on the same spot where an extensive sugar refin ery now stands. His shop was a sort of headquarters for the down town or South wark Methodists, and was frequently vis ited by the preachers. his dwelling being at all times open for the entertainment on either long or short stays. As early as the year 1774 what was then, as now, known as the "New Market," at Second and Pine streets, was used for preaching purposes by the Methodists, the stalls serving as seats for such of the peo ple as preferred them to standing, and as early as that a class was held weekly at Mr. Fitzgerald's house. About the year 1789, Mr. Petheridge, who-e son was afterward a member of the New Jersey Conference, purchased a lot on the east side of Second street, below Catharine, on which to have built a church for the down town Methodists, of whom by this time there were very many, and the construction of a brick buildinc , was at once begun. The lot was 42 feet front by 96 feet in depth, and a very substan tial edifice was erected and completed du ring the year 1790. The building was about thirty feet front by about. sixty in depth, having an alleyway on each side of it, by which entrance was had to another building in the rear, which was afterward constructed for school purposes. This church was for many years known as 01 4 6_ BEEN EZ Eft.

Three stores and dwellings now occupy the ground on which Old Ebene zer Stood for so many years, but a part of the south wall still remains, having been utilized by Mr. Bowen in the construction of one of the new houses. The church had a gallery on three sides, and was con stantly used for public worship until the year 1818, when the "New Ebenezer," on Christian street, west of Third, was completed. The old building that has been swept away by the uncompromising hand of pro gress was the second Methodist church in the city, as it was the first church edifice built in Philadelphia by the Methodists, although not constructed until twenty years after the purchase of St. George's. We remember it very well. It was an ex tremely modest and unpretending structure, with a peaked front and highly pitched roof. For many years after its abandon ment for preaching purposes it was need for the Sunday schools connected with the society and class meetings. After the con struction of the new building on Christian street, the galleries of the old were ex tended across so as to make it a two storied building. Many healthy and highly profitable meetings were had in old Ebenezer after the construction of its more modern name sake, and it may not be doubted that in its earlier days it was the scene of highly-sue. cessful forensic. efforts by many of the preachers of the olden time, but "Few, few are now the strong arm'dmen Who Worshipped at the altar; then." Here, in that modest little structure was heard in proclamation the voice of Joseph Jewell, whose spirit many years ago winged its way to realms "Where momentary ages are no more." Here, too, William Penn Candler, whose dust reposes in front of the new building on Christian street, was wont to exhort the people of Southwark to "flee from the wrath to come." Within those walls were many times heard the silver tones of young Creamer, who was taken from his work in the very noon of life; and Everhard, and Potts, and Woolson, all of whose dust lies mouldering in some part of the grounds attached to the Christian street church, expounded the Word and guided the be lievers from the unpretending rostrum of the Old Ebenezer. It is greatly to be regretted that these old landmarks are passing away so rapidly. They are footprints of time that are es sential to our remembrance of what the fathers endured, that we might grow in the abundant grace that is necessary to our salvation. even as a people. "The princely dome, the column and the arch, The sculptnr'd marble, and the breathing gold" by which they are being supplanted, are beautiful to the eye, and most gratifying to a cultared taste, and we would not con demn them, but, Oh, Woodman spare that tree," •'Whose glory and renown Are spread o'er land and sea." One by one the landmarks of all our his tory are disappearing, and were it not for the printer's art—"the art preservative of all arts"—we should ere long be made to forget that we have a history ; and some of these days, we suppose, when a new gen eration has taken the place of that now ex isting, the vandal hand of a ruthless, if not rude. progress, will be lifted for the demolishment of the old ball where Liberty was born and first proclaimed. What more stately or more speaking monument could be reared in commemoration of American Methodism than Old Saint George's Sur round it, if you will, with highly-wrought columns and arches; rear in its front crosses of silver and gold, and flank it on the rear with the finest productions of modern art and science, but let the old fortress stand, solitary and alone, in its great glory, and it will mark a page in the history of Meth odism such as no man can write.

THE VERDICT.—The suit of Ira Jen kins et al. vs. Muffin County, was tried last week at Mifflin town, and a verdict we can only denominate as reckless of equity and justice rendered in favor of the plaintiffs, for the monstrous, in view of the truth and the facts, amount of $4.972.06. Of course, upon the rendering of this ex. travagant verdict a motion for a new trial was entered. When these gentlemen get the $4,972.06 they'll be richer than they are to day. Our Commissioners tendered them in payment of their claim all that was legitimate ly due them. The above extracts we take from the Lew istown Sentinel of last week, and while they show a disposition to get out of paying an honest claim, they are also untruthful in stating that the Commissioners tendered to the plaintiffs "all that was legitimately due them." They did nothing of the kind, but on the contrary denied that th y owed these gentlemen one cent, contending that they had not entered into a contract with them for the completion of the piers and abutments, after Mr. Lamberson had quit work upon them. For the life of us we cannot see where the "extravagant verdict" comes in, when we re member that these men did a better job, and twice the amount of work that was contem plated in the original contract, for considera bly less money than the Commissioners had estimated it to cost. Where people attempt to "crab oat" of paying an honest debt, thank fortune the law provides a plan for making them "face the music," and Mifllin county's Commissioners will dad that out. THE JENNINGS EsTATs.—As there are quite a number of persons in this county claiming to be entitled to a share of the millions of dollars now locked in the Bank of England, belonging to the Jennings estate, we presume any information about the estate will be of interest to them. With this belief we give place to the following notice of a meeting held a short time since, in Camden, N. J., which we find in a Philadelphia paper: The crowd of claimants to the great En glish Jennings estate, which filled Morgan's Flail, at Camden, yesterday morning, was considerably elated by the announcement that the Pennsylvania, Virginia and Long Island claimants had determined to join with the New Jersey body and make one united &Tort to wrest the cash from the vaults in the Bank of England. Hitherto each breach bas been fighting on its own book, with the result of a large expenditure and no practical rain. It is believed that by the amalgamation the pro ceedings which are shortly to be entered in the English Chancery Court will be greatly facilitated. It was intimated at yesterday's meeting that the funds necessary for the ex penses of a delegate to London and the pre liminary law proceedings had been guaran• teed. There is on foots movementamong a umber of sportsmen to introduce into Chester county the Messina quail, otherwise known as the migrating quail. We are informed that it is desired to purchase two cases of one hundred birds each, and that already there has been, nearly sufficient subscribed. The order wiit be sent this week to a large firm in Connecti— cut, who obtain these birds in large numbers from Africa. It is said that they have bees successfully introduced in some of the News England States.—Columbia Courant, NO. 13.
