An aged traveller, worn and weary, was
gmtly uiging on his tired beast, just as the ut was dropping behind the range of hills th it bounds the horizon of tbat rich and picpicturesquc country, in the vicinity of Springlid I Ohio. It was a ?ultry August evening. anJ he hadjournied a distance of thirty-five mil s since morning, his pulse, throbbing under tin- inrtm ik p of : horning sun. At Fairfijld he had been hospitably entertained, by o.se who had recognized the veteran soldier of the cross, and w i.o had ministered to him
for his musters sake, of tle benefits himself
K id received, from the hand who leedctti 'he young lions when they lack; and he had travelled on, refreshed in spirit. But many a weary mile had he travelled over since then, and now, as the evening shades darkened arounJ, he felt the burden ofage and toil heavy upon him, and he desired the ple;isaijt retrea: I. c had pictured to himself w hen the dajr'j pUgnmagc should he accomplished, it was not long b -iorc the old man check

'How far have you come to-day, old gentleman 1" 'I hirty-fivc mile.." "Fiom where 'f 4From Springfield." 44 Ah, indeed ! You mut he tjrtu after io long a journey , for one of your age ?"' Vts, Ihis poor old body if mu h worn down by long and constant travelling, and 1 ftel that the journey of to-day has exhausted me much."
The young minister moved over a little. "You do not b -long to Springfield then." "No. I have no abidipg place." Howr "I have no continuing c'ty . My home is beyond tbia vale of tears." Another move of the minister. "How far have you travelled, on your present journey 1 "from Philadelphia! (in evident sur
prise.) The mcthodist general conference
w as in session a short time since. Had it bro

Here the circuit prcaeber relinquished

--nicerely and humbly. oently but earnest
