Os the nineteen children horn to Samuel and Susanna Wesley only ten survived the period of infancy, and of these only three were sons, John was thirteen years younger than Samuel and six years older than Charles. Os his early boyhood only one incident Is recorded. On a February night in 1709 the rectory was burned. The family, hurrying out in terror, left the boy John sleeping in his attic chamber, and he w-as taken out through a window only an instant before the blazing roof fell in upon his bed. Wesley always retained a vivid recollection of the scene, and more than a half century later, when, thinking himself near death, he composed his epitaph, he describes himself as "a brand plucked from the burning.” His mother deemed his rescue a providential indication that her son was preserved for some great work and resolved. as she says, “to be more particularly careful of the sou! of this child that Thou hast so mercifully provided for.” There is. however, no evidence of anything precocious in the religious development of the boy. but only a certain staid, overdeliberateness which he got from his mother, but which to the more mercurial temperament of the father seemed in a lad not yet in his teens half amusing and half vexatious. “Sweetheart.” said the rector to bis wife, “I profess I think our boy Jack wouldn't attend to the most pressing necessities of nature unless he could give a reason for it.”—C. T. Winchester In Century. Retidinew* In Excnne. General Alexander McDowell McCook had a story illustrative of readiness in excuse which he used to tell occasionally. Some raw troops were ' drawn up for their first battle. They were on marshy ground, under fire, and ’ ankle deep In slush. One of the solj dlcrs was noticed to be trembling exI cessiveiy. am; ms fear might communi- ; I eate itself to his comrades. An officer ' i approached him. "Here. you. what are you trembling ' i for?" demanded the officer. "Stop it. or i | you'll demoralize the company. You , i are in no more danger than any one 1 i else. Don't be afraid." "1 I I am not t t a-n-nfrnld,” chatteri ed the soldier. T-I-I had the ague last ' year, and—and standing still in this , m-m-mud so long has b b-brought it on agn-agnln. W-w-wouldn’t it-t-t lie a g g good idea to r-r-run a llt-llttle and get warmed up?” The Gardener Bird.
