George Whitefield, the F:amous
Preacher.
A new life of this remark -
man has just been publish
ed by "3. P. Gladstone. The
following anecdotes are selected from
it by the 4 Athenmurn : " What
would our fair readers say to a
proposal of naarriage containing
this quaint avowal, "I bless,. God,
if I know anything of my oelleart,
• I am free from that foolish passion
which the world calls love '?" Yet
suoh wasWbitefield's way of wooing!
No wonder he We's refused by One
who bad not got beyond "a seeking
state? Afterwards a more advanced
professor ventured to take him, but
with only moderate success; for, as
our author pertinently asks, who
-could be the Wife of a perpetual
traveller, who preached and - travel-
led all day, and wrote Letters till
after midnight 7" The ending of
one of Whitefield's few letters to his'
mother is almost as curious. "1 send
you,",he writes from America,- "a
,thousand salutations, and ten thou-
sand hearty and most humble thanks
far .all the pains you underwent in
conceiving, bringing forth, nursing
and bringing up, honored mother,
your most unworthy though most
dutiful son till death, G. W." One
mme letter only can we quote, but
this time from a writer of k very
different stamp, the haughty Duchess
of Buckingham, who writes to lady
Huntingdom, complaining of White -
field's preaching: "It is monstrous
to be told that you have a heart as
sinful as the common wretches who
• crawl on the earth. This is highly
offensive and insulting; and I can-
not but wonder that your ladyship
should relish any .sentiments so
much at variance with high rank
and good breeding." Could any
burlesque go beyond this ?

We subjoin an extract frcm a
private letter with which we have
been favored. Dr. Chalmers being
consulted on the subject ot Sabbath
schools for remote districts, inade
the following observations. The
worthy doctor had evidently taken.
his views on this subject, as Burke
said he took his view e of liberty,
not too high, that they might last
him for life :—" 1 arnslad to observe
that you nctice some bright examples
of piety in the humbler classes of
life. Their low station does not
prevent their being ,convertible
under the blessing of heaven, to. the
best and happiest results. The most
effective Sabbath teachers I ever
knew were, the one a ploughman,
and the other a wright. I do not
propose that you should give them
any salary. I would prefer that,
under the impulse of Christian feel-
ing and principle, they give their
twohours of a Sabbath evening
dratuitously to the work. Your
liberality may be required for the
• renting of some small family room
in the immediate neighborhood of
the Scholars. This, with lights,
should be got for 20s. a -year, and
-perhaps a few shillings more than
this—say 30s.—. -would suffice for
the purehase of a small juvenile
library to each scholar, I aiu the
more full an the last particulars, be-
cause I know that when wealth
comes itt aid of any scheme of
Christian philanthropy, there are
certain sordid feelings and expect-
atiens apt to be awakened in the
objects of it. It is for this reason,
• 1. hold ,it of ' so muchimportance
that 'both the exertions of the
-teacher and the attendanse of the
teught should be altogether disin-
terested. "—htverness Goutier.
