I should Ik- falso to the history of Early Indiana woro I to parts by iu siloncetho itinerant Methodist preach ers who contributed so much to the establishment of good order, quiul, intelligence, morality and roligion montr tho first settlers, and without intending to give offence to others, 1 venture the remark, that curly Indiana, nay, more, Indiana to day, owes more to the itinerant Methodist Sreachers than to all other religious enominations combined. Their system carried their churches into every settlement, and whore two or three wore gathered together, thero was n Methodist preacher or exhortcr in tho midst. They were at the bed sido of tho dying man, on their knees, und at the gravo thoir voices wore heard in songs of pruise. Othor denominations waited for tho peoplo to come up lroin the wilderness to worship, while the itinerant Methodist preacher mounted his horse, and sought out their cabins in tho woods, held his meetings there, carrying the Gospel, und leav ing tho hible and Hymn I5ook as he wont. The woods were not nettled without much sickness, many deaths and great suffering among the people. Of course wo were too sparsely settled, and oar towns too small, to be the subjects of such awful epidemics as visited New Orleansintne year 18T3, the last time the yellow fovcr made its appearance in that devoted city; when thelwators of the Ohio and Mississippi had almost forsaken their channel-, when at intervals only there might be seen a solitary steamer, loaded to the guards, with passengers leaving the city, and slowly wending her way up the crooked channels of the rivers, leaving thousands of citizens behind to perish; when the hum of business coased, and nothing was heard in the streets but the sound of tho lonely hearses slowly and solemnly bearing to tho grave the silent dead; when tho levees were deserted and Commerce had spread hersails for happier ports; and when a Nation's sympathy mingled with her cries of woe. While we had none of these awful visitations, there were lew families that wore ioj laid upon the bed of sickness und death in some member. Connersville was so sickly that I was advised by my friends to leavo it and fly for my lilo. Indianapolis was no better, indeed its reputation was still worse, and the whole country was in the hands of the physicians and nur.- 1 LORENZO now. In tho year 1819 1 wasono of a congregation assembled in the woods back of Rising Sun, anxiously awaiting the arrival of Lorenzo Dow. Time passed away , we had all hoeomc impatient when in the distance we saw him approaching at a rapid rate through the trees on hispneing pony. He rode up to tho log on which I was sitting, throw tho rains over the ne l of the pony and stepped upon the log. took oft his hat, his hair parted in the middle of his head and (lowing on either side to his shoulders, hisbeurd resting on his breast. In a minute at the tup of his voico ho said: ' He -hold, I como quickly and my reward is with mo." My subject is repen tance. Wo sing, "while the lamp holds out to burn, tho vilest sinner may return." That idea has done much harm and should be received with many grains of allowance. Thoru are cases where it would be easier for a camel to go through the eyo of a needle than for a man to repent unto salvation. Let me illustrate: To you supposothuttheman among you who went out lust fall to kill doer, and bear for wintet meat, and instead killed his neighbor's hogs, salted them down and is now living on the meat, can repent whilo it is yet unpaid tor I tell you nay Except ho restores a just compensation his attempt at repentanco will be the basest hypocrisy, Except yo repent, truly ye shall all likewise nerisb." Down ho stepped, . a s . 1 mounted his pony, and in a lew nun- i utes was rhovingon through tho woods at a rapid paco to moot another ap pointment. SKETCHED Or PREACHERS IN EARLY IN DIANA. I may bo oxcused for numing some of tho itinernnt Methodist preachers of early times, to whom I alluded in tho commencement of this sketch Jamos Jones, Augustus Jocelyn, .lohn P. Durbin. James Conwell, John Har dy. Aaron Wood, Jumcs Havens. Kli jah Whitten, John Morrow, Father Silvey, John Strange, and Allen V llov. I had the pleasure ot fre quently hearing all these eminent f treat her- John Strange had u brillant imagination, and was a splendid preacher. Sometimes 1 thought him a little too "high" in his thoughts for the audience ho was addressing. He would talk of tho -zigzag forked lightnings playing through tho concavo vaults of heaven," and again of "the cherubim and the flaming words uarding the paradise of God." I oved to near him. Mr. Jocelyn was, at times, one of the ablest sormonizers of tho ago. At others, ho would loao the text, and forgot his entire discourse. I saw him at ono time at Centervillo' standing lilent before the congregation, his eyes gazing at vacancy. "I am lost the text and tho subject have left mo," and down he sat. A hvmn was sung, tho meeting was closed, and the congregation retired. On ono occa ion he was preaching at Connorsville, I was sitting just bofopo him. He seemed to preach long. I became uneasy about the fire iu ray office I could not toll why. Tho moment he closed, I stepped out und saw the smoke isuing from tho building. 1 told him why it was that I left so abruptly. He said he noticed my un

easiness and cloned tho sermon on my

account. .lames Jones lived at iiisiug Sun. lie was what might be called u good, sound old-lahhioticd preacher, who contributed his aiil with all his power to the eaii-e of morality and religion. 1 heard him ofton, and was alwnvs ouo of his attentive listeners. John Hardy and Father Silvoy were of the class know as "local preachers," though they traveled and preached up and down Whito Water at times. They preached directly ut the heurt, leaving doctrinal and con troversial matters to othors; and yet I have ollen thouxrht that thev did quite as much good us many others of much higher pretensions Allen Wiley was a preacher of a dilhreiit eat. 1 havo heard him preach some of tho most powerful ser moos I ever listened to. Ho com m enced slow, deli Im-rate, and cau tious, tooling his way to tho hearts oi his congregation until his feelings would take cliHrgo of his tongue, and then he threw his wholoBoul into the subject, and closed with appoals to the congregation as left few dry eyes ut the singing ol the closing hymn .funics Con well was a zealous preachers, and nt times I thought him strong. His elocution was not verv fluent, but his strong common sense made loin verv acceiiiahle to his eongregations. Me did much good as a co-worker in the cause ol morality and religion. John Morrow was much of tho order of Jas. Conwoll. Ho was a good preacher. J hud hcurd him otten. und had but one limit with him, and that was. lie carried no watch, and sometimes, in a zeal, would forget the a . n 1 Vir W aa time oi uay. nue i was a candi date for Congress 1 met Fathor Morrow und several other Methodist preachers nt Conwell's store, in Deentur county. They were on their way to Conference. Our horses were feeding, dinner not ready, and we took u short walk to the spring, under the shude of some spreading elms. Father Morrow .proposed that I should muko u speech. The motion was seconded by all the preachers, and I addressed them for about two hours, with as much sound as if I had been speaking to thousands. At the close, father Morrow remarked that ho liked the speech, hut it was a little too long. 4'Ah, lather Morrow, I thought it was my last chance to punish you a little for what 1 havo suffered under your long sermons." The other preuchera smiled, and I wa told the remark was liko soed sown on good ground. John 1. Jiurhin was a young, ardent preacher, hut as 1 "may notice him again, I will pass him by and come to James Jlavens. the Napoleon of the Me thodist preachers of eastern Indiana. I knew him well. He seemed to be made for the very work in which ho was engaged. He had a good person, a strong physical formation, expanded lungs, a clear and powerful voice, reaching to the verge of the campground, the eye (dan eagle and both a moral and personal courage mat never quaiien. Iiis powers as a preacher were of a very nigh order. I never beard but one man that was liko him In his meridian days, and that was father Newton, who visited this country years ago from Kngland. as the delegate to the American conference. The great ( ham teristic of Mr. Havens as a preacher was his good common sonmi. lie coaid diet i ngu ihli his audience no us not to throw his pearls befoee swine. He could feed his babes with the milk of the word," and hurl the terrors of the law ut old sinners. He seemed to know that old blood never run in young veins, which so many preachers and pi-cvident of colleges too often forget. Mr. flnvens was one of the luord powerful preachers J ever heard, audi have no hesitation iu saying that the State of iudianaowes him a heavier debt of gratitude, fbr the efforts ol his lonif. valu able life, to form society ilium the bu 1., . A.... I.. . t , sisot morality . edia at ion and religion, than any other man, living or dead. t:u,,n Wood wus young us u preacher when I knew him. but ho fmafl rt - A I. : I . ! . Tl 1 ft ft " "l B'K" promise, tie bm a good "lind, 11 happy olwiition. 11ml zeal without hounds. I thought the last time that 1 heard him, in the Court House in Connersville, that his work would soon lie over, as he preached with ull his power until he fainted and fell into the urms of a brother. 1 he last time I saw him, however, Iu was in good health, with a good old ugo upon him. Elijah Whitten was ono of the most energetic ami anient preachers that over traveled the vt lute Water country. Ho was strong in doctrine, but 1 thought his grout Ibrte was iu exhor tation. No man 1 ever hoard could bring more mourners before the altar than he could. .Mc was highly respected as a preacher, and 1 have no doubt did great good in his day. I have now briefly sketched our pioneer itinerant Methodist preachers. It Is intended to be the bent portrait I enn draw, but still, no doubt, theirrolativosand friends may be able to discover many dolbet that I have overlooked in my sketch. I hope however, thutthe general physiognomy of each may bo recognized. "John Dustin, lormeriy an inmate of the Indiana State Prison: was arrested in Cincinnati on Monday night. lr stealing a horse from a gentleman of T.awrencehurg. Ho confessed his guilt.

THE VICTIMS OF THE NEEDLE

W., hsc.. frennioitlv alluded t. the terrihle oimrennion nrneticed noon women who are obliged to resort to the needle for the means of procuring jinxi and clothing. A short time ugo we published a shocking accouh of this opproion in England. We tated then, that we did not think onr own country women had been crushed (. . ef ... I - . - . tolho same degiee vet. Wo still BaS BJ think that we uif- above thomonurchits of Kurope in this particular; that our working-men and women arc less the victims of bad social institutions than those of any other country. Wo iiro aware that our institutions are U tter than most others, for the pro lection of the weak and friendless. This wo are. proud to say of oar own country. After having said this, mneh; after having admitted the superiority of our own homes, for a place wherein women may toil, tiro and die, let u briefly view tho tacts that are trausI piring about us. unl ask if we have any occasion to boast of our supcrior- , ity. A day or two since, as we walkw uwn roiuui su-oet, mo uior monieter lieing at lull ninety ill the suude, we saw a thin snare woman whoso hand looked ' Lcntier than lleahleaa ii.iriory. i standing by an iron railing, wiping the iiersniriition fVrn hir liien nnd tlie l lersOl fjit ion tmni lier 1iipi nod X Jr. looking the verv personifieation of fa- . a . - - ti'ue und exhaustion.

How often does tho philanthropist, interested in heathen lands, think of these? Do you think this a tiinov sketch An overdrawn liieture ? Hundreds in this eity will attest its truth. The priees paid for woman s labor in this (lopartnicnt are absolutely niurderous. There is one class of women, who are much greater enemies to thoir sex than any of the employers who pay these starvation price. We allutlo to those who drive up to these TT i Tt. ftJ establishments in mrriag9 who have enough to live upon whoso fumilies are even wealthy and take workat the low miee-. as th.-v expreKS it 'merely to till iu the time." Tlu v are in u greater degree, resfioiisiblo for tho low prices. "It is clear gain." they say, for they have nothing else to employ thomsolves about. They have no boaro to pay. no children to support, no rent, and no necessity ror sucl eh labor. Yet the well-to-do farmers daughters, by this very moans, contribute to the starvation oi the poop women iu tho city. They should understand the evil, and, at once abandon it. Let those whose necersxity it is, have all the work to do, until the scarcity of labor raises the price. We conclude by copvngtbe follow ing from last Snucia fl Dispatch. It is a case in point.

A poor woman compelled to walk lor miles to procure this miserable work (hen to receive materials for two or three cloaks, with an injunction to make them well, or make good the deflefencio; to carry the made up garments In, after tolling over them day and night to have every stitch svrutinised by a hcartlcas Shy lock, and all for a beggarly shilling each. The idea is terrible. We inquired how many of these cloaks, all their fixtures of binding,' wadding, braiding, etc., a woman could make in a day. We wore told by our informant that if the sewing Woman went to work at six o'clock in the morning, and worked until ten o'clock at night, she could arn 37$ cents, profitiert shr did tritli" f ' r ihner.

The mother ielt rebuked before her simple child. .Never had she heard sq forcible a lecture on the evils of I scolding The words of Lizzie sank -'"im im- mc to ask so many.,u.s. tioui T I ''No, love, it was all right.
