But like Watts, Cowper ana Ttplsdy be had hia masterpiece. Tae Lord of G.cry bestowed oo Charles Wesley the titgh honor of composing tbe finest heart byma In a s K'ur- ban tongue. If tbe finest tiymn of the cross is 'Reck of Ages,* and the greatest hymn of Provi- denee Is Cowpert 'Qod Moves in a Mysterious Way,' and toe grandest battle bymu Is Martiu nutber's ' Qod hi our Ksfuge,' then it may be aald also thai «r e queen of all toe lays of holy love is that immortal song: " 'Jesus, lover of my soul! Let me to Thy bosom 0y; Wh'le the billows near me roll. While the tempest Btlll is high!' " " Whatever may be aald of Wesley's dostriue t f perleu soilness, there is not mncti doubt that he • attaintd nnto peifecuon' when he wrote this hymn. It is haprJly married, also, to two exquisite tunes, ' Kef age' land 'Maitya,' both ot which ate worthy cf the alltasce. The brat ot tbese la a gem." Under tbe title " The Voice of Christian Life in Seng," Bi»hot> Cummins, of Kentucky, con tributes to the Christian at Work a very interesting disquisition on hymns. Next to the Die* Irce h e places Luther's £in' feste Bwrq. H e then speaka of two recent hymns, wbicb of late years have became great favor- ites in all Christian churches : ---.lust as 1 am ' is already a part of the Heri- tage of ail Goo's people, sung by infant lips and in the tiemnlous tones of old age, SUUK softly by f i e couches of the dyirg, and chanted i y a thousand voices, like the sound of mljrbty waters, echoing now in grand old cathedral aisles, and again float- ing thiough tbe leafy arches of great forests, na'un-ss ulgiander mlDlsters. For years men weie ati gi: g tcis song without knowing whence it came, until at last It was diacoverel to hava been the work of a retired CtirltUaa woman lo England, who, taught of ths spirit, ha/1 given ut- terance to tbe c j of a broken and contrite h e a t .

"The otter homn alluded to ia fast becoming as nruversa', but its history Is not so well kDown. A few years ago, on a Sunday afternoon at the close of autumn, an English clergyman preached his farewell sermon to hia floct, whom declining health compelled him to leave. He was a victim of consumption, and WBB about to paas the winter io Italv, with the faint hope cf son:.,; relief from bis suffertrga. The last farewell was uttered to his heloved people, and faint and wtary he went (j*ck to hia quiet lural pataonage. In the even- • J -"uTg, surrounded by bis family, he sat down acd m composed the following Washing and precious hymn: " 'Abide with me!

"The writer was the Tte v Henry Francis Lyte, and after composing the hymn he set it bimaeif to music, and gang it Urst around hia family altar.

He ia tbe author of that other very sweet hymn, 'Jisus: I my ci oss have taken!'" Xbe byma " Abide with m e " is to be found in tbe ''Additional H y m n s " authorized for u s e in t h e Protestant Episcopal Church in this country, but t h e third, fourth and fifth starzas are omitted. It is largely used also in other denominations, and will soon take its i lace amid those h y m n s of t h e ages which, like many of those of Wesley and Watts, are known in every Christian church. J e i a a U i a s t s n t . W t e n , a few years s g o , a popular w< skly journal, in this city, began to give publicity to many purely private and domestic matters, there was a general outcry against it. T h e prrprietora, however, discovering that where they lost one subscriber, on account of tbia objectionable innovation, tbey gained two, persisted in their purpose ; and their success in chronicling the very small beer of society, tbe balls and parties given by the nobodies, the betrothals wtich no one bat tbe persons concerned, one would suppose, could care about, t h e comings and goings of wonld-be fashionable people, bas induoee^a very general imitation of the thing throughout the coun- try. It would appear that this matter of social gossip has passed through tbe-same experience that Pope assures u s is the ease with vice, which " w e first endure, then pity, then embrace." He entiv A jour- nal, expressly devoted to recording "the mat- ters that in tbe old, dull times were supposed to be sacred to tho home circle, bas appeared in New York, under t h e title of Oar Society, and in Philadelphia an evening paper has rushed into the public chronicling of strictly private affairs, with a boldness and dash that are enough to take one's breath away. But, while Our Society gives frankly full names, the Philadelphia reporter lias not, as yet, yen- tured beyond initial*. Initials, however, in his brilliant hands are more entertaining than Smiths and Browns and Bobinsons discussed in prosaic English. Our frxriety tells a s that •' Mr. Matthew Bird, of West Twenty-second street, visited Mariano*, Mise MaryE. Beatty, at ber home, in Norwala, Conn., during the holidays." This is as direct, circumstantial, and matter-of-fact, as it ia unnecessary, al- though we hope that Mr. Bird enjoyed his visit. Tbe PhilsdelpMa fellow, in a more vivacious and delightful way, tells na that -'Mr. 8. H. L—d thii ks be is a particularly ' bright star,' to which th* Woodbury ladies are irresistibly attracted." Our Society says that '• Miss Kate Bajmond, a charming young lady from Bor- dentown, N. J., is visiting her friend, Misa Bortk-nhamer, of Fifth Avenue" (will the time com e when our daily papers will h i v e to be f ularged to make room for this sort of intelJ- gppce ?); but from Philadelphia we learn that " t-verj one declA»vS thAt the beAutiful Miss L E. i ' 1 sweet.'" Our Society, in fact, 19 altogether behind its Philadelphia rival in spirit and rim. Its five columns, in the num- ber now before us, of the names of Kdies who received on New Yexr's day, in New York, are about aa bright and fresh as the directory. Tha Hat of ladie*, and the days for their reg- ular receptions, are not a whit mora interest- ing, excepting to those people who g o to ft for their invitations. But the gossip of our sister city is another thing. iere are a few more examples, which we transcribe for the edification of our readers : •' Miss Mattie M—e looks well in green plaid." " Misa E , Z looked charming in her blue silk, last Monday." •• Miss B. S.. of Greene street, is always pleasing to tbe gentlemen, and dresses with taste." " T h e charming Miss was radiant at tbe sociable, on Taursday evening.™ T b e beautiful Misa Anna S—b, of Wallace street, converses delightfully." •l f a r e s young men would like to kuaw why Miss P. S, did not apeak to them laat Sun- day ?" (Is this query made in this manner by the three young gentlemen, to aave letter- paper and postage, to insult a young lady, to show themselves asses, or is it the dire inven- tion of t h e editor ?) " Miss L. C. is fond of finit-oake." " M i s s P. C , of North Twenty- first street, b a s lovely eyes." The reporter bas as many favors for polite young gen- tlemen of the street and salon, but with tbe m e n what Utile modesty remains dis- appears entirely, and names, tn full, are paraded fer our delectation. "Mr. Harry Roeetibaum," we are told, "looks tiega^c in his high hat." " Mr. Henry B. Neymer tikes to dance t h s Trots Temps." " M r . F. D . Howard sports a new high hat, which becomes him very m u c h " (from which one may sup- that " h i g h b a t s " and " n e w bats " are rare in PbiladeiDbia society). " Mr. Cox,of Jefferson College,has handsome whiskers,' but the "la- dies say they would admire Mr. Frank Town better without his goatee';" and so on, tor over seventy paragraphs. How the Phiiadel- phians like this sort of thing we have no in- formation ; bnt the confidence with which tbe thing is published, would indicate that the editors know what they are about.

A series of inquiries were some time since set on foot in the British islands for t b s pur- pose of gathering Jetails concerning tba morejprominent physical features of their In- bat itants. Dr. John Beddoe, who inaugu- rated tbe movement, h a s lately published a volume tn which h e gives ths result* thus far obtained. From these it appears that the aveiage weight of tbe Irish peasant is esti- mated at 135 pounds: of Englishmen, 145 pounds, and of Scotchmen, 155 pounds. Tbe average height of tha adult Englishman is between five feet six and five feet seven inches; of t h s adult Irishman, about t b e same -, t b s adult SeotchmAQ, however, is taller than tbese by nearly an inch. It was found thAt clerks, shopman, and commercial trav- ellers are above the msdium height, but be- ion is a pretty way of borrowing tut payment, or, in other word*, of ng.

It was a fine in tbe middle of Ootober, and La Bell* nee, though at war, still looked charming ; sky was blue, and the atmosphere serene beautiful. I had been entrusted, by a seian dignitary, near Par's, with a special s u n , wbicb, although it had little or no itary interest, was exciting enough because ad to be carried out amid auoti stirring l e s a s war alone can produce. As I iped into my saddle, an officer in Brnnsr k uniform, in fact, a Black Hrunawicker, bed up to my side; he was an acquaintance nine, and we had met before at a mutual nd's bivouac fire.

Every now and then would come to a little wooden bridge, ch tbe poor Frenchmen had cut or blown hoping thereby to Impede * little the gressof tbe victorious German army: a e that has always been signally disap- .te'i. T h e actual German army does arrive at these little bridges until long ir tbeir pioneers have completed new s. Great bridges, and great tunnels, e, as a rule, been spared, while little Igea have been blown up ; or, what has n still more foolish and futile, wherever re has been a bit of paved road, the French med to have set to work to unpave twenty is or ao, or, if there be no pavement, to e dug little holes here and there in it. r there are some troops in the German ar- who bave greatly distinguished themselves his campaign, and none more to than the indent Lilians, aa they are called by their ntrymen.

If a tielman murmurs at having t o work for enemy, he gets one of t wo sentences from Uhlan thrown iu his teet'j; one is "C'est guerre comma a la guerre," or, " C a s t U> rre, mais la guerre est tres-triste," these g the Uhlan s pet sentences. Well, we sad many a rewly-constiucted Utile wood- bridge, acd many a little patch of paving- les newly laid down, and arrived at Tfil- t at last, ere a sight greeted us which we did not act to find.

Does it spoil the story to add tbat the dream did not come true? Amor-g tho shorter Anecdote*, with which the book abounds, we must quote one of a Scotch clergyman who was suspended »y tbe Ecclesiastical Assem- bly for stating that he considered Pontius Pilate to b«. a very ill-used man, as he bad done more for Christianity than all tho other nine Apostle* put together. This was told Barham by Sir Walter Scott, who was retained for the defence of the clergyman. An 1 ri-h story, told by Theodore Hook, may come next. A g f t l m m a was driving hit servant in A cab, And said to him, half jocularly, half ia anger, "If the gallow* b i d its due, yon rascal, where would yon be n o w ? " "Faith, then, your honor," was tbe reply, "it's riding in this cab I'd be all alone by my self, may be." This might fairly apply to tbe Peer mentioned jott before who played heavily at Croekford's, received all his wmningB in cash, gave a check for bis losings, and then sent at onoe to stop pay- ment of th*shock at his banker's. Barham'a own remark io.a man who was guilty of soms signal piece of baseness is, no doubt, too strong to be'applied to a Peer of the realm.

Consequently this General as likely to be my General a* another's, then tbe remaining point of evidence ia inst us—namely, that this Minister Lavel resigned. So it is not my Lovel after alb my Lovel would not have resigned, o ; my Lovel ia a man who can always be ed upon—a man who would be faithful to death.

Tne srriterial population was some 20,000 then, id the Territorial militia numbered 139 per- ins, including regimental officers, three Ma- r and eleven Brigadier Generals. General 3vel wae the eleveuth. I cannot now call to mind distinctly tho sev- al engagements General Lovel was in. but I member the following, on account of their •euliar prominence: When Thompson Billing;s, the desperado, »e captured. Lovel's brigade guarded the oct door of the jail tbat night. It was well ir Billings that he left by the back door: for was always thought that if be had come out ie front way he would have been shot.

When tho Legislature met, in 1863,'General ovel and his brigade were promptly on duty, .iber to do ^5 n oj;- £ £ * or &&S* th; ;"dh- c, I have forgotten which.
