years of life, and the average of the let is
but about fifty years. It Is n cabi

There may be In this a suggestion te
office aspirants that sixty years is the as
signed period of retirement from efllcial
labors, te be disregarded only for cause.
Sixty-two is the period of retirement in the
navy and somewhoro about there in the
army. Fcrchance the civil scrvice is te be
presented as equally shunning the possible
infirmities of ever thrco-scero years.

Scarcely second in importance te seme
of the cabinet efllccs, and nlxive several of
them in the magnitude of its iutcicsts, the
amount of money it disburses and the
economies and reforms pessible in its ad
ministration, is the bureau of pensions.
The new administration gives earnest of
its purposes by selecting as the head of this
department Gen. Jehn C. Ulack.ef Illinois.
He was a gallant soldier, with a civil
record that is as honorable and patriotic as
his military career. He was in the Chicago
convent!en,nnd was a favoiite in that body
for the nomination of vice president ; and
his friends have entertained hopes that lie
might be appointed secretary of war. He
is modest and discreet, as well as brae and

Tiikiik was a great deal of incendiary talk
while Congress was In session about the im
mense extent of alien ownership In Ameri
can lands, and ene bill was reported of a verv
sweeping character, that after' Its pas"sage no
alien or foreigner shall acquire title te or own
any lands within the Jurisdiction of the
United States. The bill never get nny rur
thcr than a favorable report en it from the
committce en public lands. It is a great deal
better that it did net, for while it is proper te
restrain wealthy foreigners from buying
great tracts or land for speculative purposes.
the bill ir made a law might have had'the
offect oreerlously restricting progress In the
unuoveieped parts et the country. At any
rate the law would have been a dead letter,
for it could be easily evaded by having the
title te the lands remain in an American
agent. Besldes thore booms te be llttle or no
danger te be entlcipated from this alien own
ership It Is estimated in round numbers
thatBoine 21,000,000 acres or land in the
United States is owned by noblemon or
Eurepe, principally Englishmen, and held
in vast tracts. A considerable quantity or
leuuin uise uiviicu vy uiuuied aliens, but
mostly in small tracts. The bulk or these
holdings are in Texas, Flerida and two .or
three et the territories, but considerable
tracta have been taken up in Mississippi,
Missouri, Colerado, .California and Arkansas,
and recently, it is understood, Cn immense
body eriand has been acquired in West Vir
ginia, aud in these holdings a goodly portion
or American citizens are associated as own
ers. It is mere tli an probable that the lum
and cry is raised against the alien owners by
the illegal publie land floeccrs te divert at at

been practicing.

Lancaster Is contributing its full share of
tfeeught and Influence te the Intclleclual
movement of.the times j net only through Its
Institutions of learning, and such excellent
publications as the Jtefermett Chnrch Qtiar
frly Jtevtcir, whose two editors, Drs. Apple
nnd Titzel, and the most or whose contribu
tors are resident, but also through various
ethor denominational, religious and literary
Journals of the first rank and highest stand
ing In the country. The Independent has
during the pest year contained a number or
articles from the pens of Prof". K.1V. Ocrliart,
D. D.,Kev. J. Max "Hark, and Miss Allce
Nevln ; the Christian Union numbers Mr.
Hark among Its editorial writers; while In
the leading undenominational theological
roilew, thoylnteDcr, published In llosten,
and representing the profeuudost scholarship
and most advanced religious thought of the
country, Lancaster has within the last eight
months contributed no less than four valu
able papers, two by Dr. derhurt and two by
Mr. Hark. In lttorature and scholarship we
are evidently net as "slew" as o1lie ethor
nnd larger cities ; at any rute I don't feel as If
we had anything te be ashamed of in this re
spect, 1 have Just read a book of -120 pages, writ
ten by an ICugllshmau, as " the outcetna of a
visit te the United Stales" in which the
writer tries te tell his fel low-countrymen all
that he saw and heard. But, for all the men
tion he makes of relluien or religious de
nominations, the reader might suspect that
thore wasn't e church In the whole land.
It was Nathaniel llawtlinrne who, wiieu a
boy, w-rote te his mother : "I de net want te
be a doctor, and lUehy men's diseases nor
a minister, and Hve by their sins ; nor n law
yer, and liveby their quarrels. Sel don't
sce that there Is anything Ien for me but te
be an author." And yet, as a stery-teller, he
was n preacher, lawyer and doctor.
The centennial of organized Methodism In
the United States was celebrated in ltaltl ltaltl ltaltl
more whera the llrst conferenco met last
Christmastlde j hut the Methodists were in
Lancaster county before that. Tliey cauie
right after the hard w inter of 1780 ; that w as
the year the Ice was from 10 te la Inches
thick, frost icnctrated the ground ile
feet, the ears or the cattle and root
or the hogs were frost-bitten, squirrels per
ished In their holes and partridges full dead
everywhere en the snow-ceorod fields.
Willi the spring and swallows came also the
Methodists ; and u year later, 17fti, the Lan
caster circuit was ieiincd and Itev. Win.
Partridge appointed te It as minister. There
were then 70 members or "society." Simen
Miller must have been the first Iancastcr
county born Methodist pre.iclier.

If you could stand alxne the grae orJehn
Wesley's vife and read the inscription en her
tomb it would run thus :
" t K'emciii of exemplarn piety, a lender
parent, and a sincere friend."
And you might suspect that she had been n
tender and truewifc, whose ministry at the
tircsule supplemented her husband's en the
circuit, iier epitaph, se far as It conveys
this idea, literally " lies like a tombstone."
The great Methodist preacher postponed ills
marriage until he was -IS years old n
time of llfe when men are supposed te
makesuch engagements with caution, espe
cially ir it is their first venture But ir
Wcsley had been three score and ten, or
had been married thrce or four times, he
could net liae made mere or a mess of 1L
Mrs. Vnzcl (or Vlrelle) wits a merchant's
widow, which In Itscirdid net unlit her Tern
preacher's bride. She had n rortune or !(),
000, which even a modern parson would net
consider an iusttiiorahle liar te matrimony.
She had four children, an iucuiiihrauce
that bachelors have often taken with, less
dower". Though Wcsley knew her for nearly
a year before their marriage, their courtship
seems te hae been or but lift ecu or
sixteen days continuance, and it was only
aller corrcspendcnco and consultation with
a friend that he came te the conclusion that
he might be mere useful in a married than n
single state. His resolution te wed and his
clioice ern w ifose grleved Ids brother Charles
that he " groaned all the day and soveral
following ones" overit. He net only knew
that ills brether's habit of traveling, his many
visitations, extensive correspondence and
lack or conjugal temperament unfitted him
Ter domestic tranquility, but also that Mrs.
Vazel was neither fitted by education nor
toinper te be his wife. It was an ominous
ovent that Jehn Wcsley, having broken his
ankle by a fall en the Ice, went te the bridal
altar en crutches.
Within less than two years tlieir troubles
began. Fer a time she trnveted with him ;
and, if net very happy, tliey were net alto
gether mlsorable. But when from Cornwall,
whlthershe had net accompanied him, he
scuta packet oflettors which she intercepted,
afew Ill-considered words te a Methedist
sister aroused her te i'ury.aud henceforth their
llfe was ene ordiscerd. Her jealousy aroused,
she would drive a hundred miles te sce who
entered n town with her husband. Her
fiery tamper enkindled, she stoie his letters,
forged expressions that he never used, inter
polated lalse passages, misinterpreted spir
itual saylngsse as te givothein a bad meaning,
lead them te, a select party or Calvlnlsts
and made Uienl the basis or infamous charges.
NelccntcntwlthsuchabiiHe,Itis even recorded
that her rage vented Itself In physical assault.
Jehn Heinpsen writes that ence he found this
"tender parent" "foaming with fury." Her
husband. Jehn Wesley, was en the fleer.
wliore this "slncore friend," the wife or
his besom, 1 1 ad liccn trailing him by the hair;
and she, herself, this "woman of ex
emplary piety" was holding in her
hands venenible locks of his gray
hair, which In her tenderness and sincerity
she had piously tern out or ills head by the
roots.
Notwithstanding ail this he bere it for a
long time. After soventocn years of married
life and such oxquislte oxperienco of conju
gal tenderness as lias been quoted, he is
found sympathizing with her in sickness,
testifying te her kind nursing et him and
subscribing himself hcrafiectlonate husband.
Paticnce ceased te be even a Christian virtue,
when In 1771 she lea him In Londen without
a word of explanation. He said, "neneam
rcliijui ; non dimUi ; non rcvocabe," (I have
notleaiier, 1 haVonet seuther aw ay, neither
will I recall her.") He could call her
" Dear Melly" after she had trailed his
body en the fleer by the hair : he could travel
228 miles in 48 hours te visit her stretched en
nboderBlckness. But human nature ex.
hausted itseir finally, and who will woi.der
that she was burled bofero he knowerjior
death s and who w ill blame him that he did
net add hypocrisy te error by mourning a
less which must have been arolier? Hia
philosophic consolation was that had she
been a better wife, the desire topleasehcr
might have withdrawn film from wolghtler
matters. Who shall measure the obligation
of Methodism te Jehn Wesley's termagant of
a wife?
His cxperlonce will explain his answer te a
a Methedist brether, who asked Wesley what
ue uieugui ei ins marrying a certain woman
well-known te both. Wesley adlscd him
net te think or It- "Why." said the ethor.
T.UO.CJ.. )eiu ja.-- "veii, men,
why net marry her?" "Boeause," replled
Wesley "bocause, my friend, the Lord, can
live with a great many poeplo that you and I
can't,"
