mulish as the donkey in his barn. lie had
made his way in the world by the logged
est obstinacy, SEEING hold of whatever
came in his way, and retaining that hold
As though life depended upon it. Joel's
mulishness had literally been the making
of him, though you mightn't have consid-
cred the little pot-bellied, thick-s kulled old
man as much of make after all.
Joel had one soma handsome, clear

ANYTHING more than be obstinate, lest his

l.. ". Kendall. Esq, Secretary Of tie Home H.
Sranse COmp0ny of 81. Paul, Minm.:
DEAR SIR: Allow me to express my
thanks through you to the Directors Of
the Home Insurance Company of St. Paul,
Mimi, for the prompt and honorable man
ner in which my loss by fire, in the de-
struction of my dwelling. house and con-
tents, insured me in that company, has
been adjusted and paid. Feeling as l do
that in times like these through which we
are now passing, it is the duty of every
good citizen to do all in his power to pro-
mote the general welfare of the people of
our State and country, and believing that
the subject of insurance is occupying the
attention of property-holders to an extent
perhaps second only to the matter of the
infamous rebellion against the government
under which we have lived and prospered
so long, l ask permission to publish to the
world that have found by practical expe-
rience the Home Insurance Company to be
responsible, honorable in all its dealings,
and prompt in the payment of its losses.
To show this to be the case, l wish to state
that was insured on the LIST day of Sep
tember, 1864, and gave my note in pay
ment, due in about ninety days thereafter.
On the 4.ll Of September, 1864, my house
and portion of its contents were burned
to ashes. Immediately on receipt of no.
tice of my loss by the company, it was adj
.iusted and paid, to my entire satisfaction,
by w. a. Wells, their General Agent. To
the public will state that if they insure in
the Home-if we can judge the future by
the past-they will be honorably dealt
with. and receive the money due them on
any loss which they may sustain without
delay. This being the case, it commends
itself to the earnest support of all who wish
to build up home institutions and enrich
cur own State and corporations in prefer
ence to others. Hoping that you may
meet with unrivalled success throughout
our flourishing State,
Iremain, as ever, yours with respect,

" Lord, believe, help Thou mine unbelief."
Philosophical argument, especially that
drawn from the vastness of the universe in CON-
parison with the insigniiicance of this globe,
has sometimes shaken my reason for the faith
which is in me; but my heart has always as
sured and treasured me that the Gospel of Je-
sus Christ must be Divine Reality. The SER
mon on the mount cannot be merely human
production.
This belief enters into the very depths OF my
conscience. The whole history of man proves

table at which ne wrote: the lawns over which
he walked and viewed with delight his herds of
selected cattle; the noble old elm of two hun
dred years growth! on the eastern slope of the
lawn, with its branches dropping to the ground
on either side one hundred feet apart, under
whose shade his coffin rested at the time of his
funeral, all brought him wildly to mind, and
we seemed to feel more than ever, the race of
the giants is gone. Where are our statesmen
now? Of politicians there is no lack. But
who speaks now as Webster spoke in the Sen.
ate in 1880? He then said in his reply to
Hayne:
while the Union lasts, we have high, ex-
citing, gratifying prospects spread out before
US, for US and our children. Beyond that l seek
not to penetrate the veil God grant, that, in
my day at least, that curtain may not rise. God
grant that on my vision never may be opened
what lies behind. When my eyes shall be
turned to behold, for the last time, the sun in
heaven, may | not see him shining on the
broken and dishOnored fragments of once
glorious Union; on States discovered, discor-
dant, belligerent on q land rent with civil
teuds. or drenched. it may be, in fraternal

His prayer was answered. He was taken
away from the evil to come, at the ripe age of
three score and ten. AS we stood at his grave
in the old Winslow cemetery, where he rests
with the wife of his youth, his sons Edward
and Fletcher and George, and his daughter
Julia, all gone. We felt how true it is, 1--WE
