A Settler,

A teacher in a western county 10 Cam
ada, while making his first visit 70 his
"constituents," came into conversation
with an ancient "Varmount" lady, who
had taken up her residence in the "back-
woods" OF course, the school and for
mer teacher came in for criticism and
the old lady, in speaking of his predeces.
sor, asked "Wa'al, master, what do you
think he larnt the scholars ?" "Couldn't
say, ma'am-pray what did he teach ?''
"Wa'al, he told 'em this 'ere air,h was
reound, and went aground aud all that
sort . thing. Now, master, what do you
think about SIGH stuff? Don't you thiuk
he was an ignorant Teller ?" Unwilling
to come under the category of the igno-
rami, the teacher cvasively remarked -
at really did seem strange but still
there are many learned men who teach
these things "Wa'al,' says she, "if
the airth is reound and goes reound, what
holds it ~ 2" ooh, these learned men
say that it goes around the sun, which
holds it up by virtue Of the law of attrac-
ton"
The old lady lowered her Specs and,
by way of climax, responded: "Wa'al, if
these high-larnt men seq the sun holds up
the airt6, I should like to hnov what holds

The Oldest Man in the World.

We will not assert that the Oldest of
living men is Il resident of Wisconsin, but
challenge any other State or country to
produce man or woman who has attain
ed the age reached by joseph Or lie, now
residing in the town of Gale ionia, in
this State. During the French Revolu-
ton one jean Claude Jacob, member of
the National Assembly, was called the
"Dean of the human Species "the eldest
of men," On his smeared, worn face were
plowed the fur.owings of one hundred and
twenty years. But our "Dean of the
human species" is nearly twenty years
older than Claude Jacob, who did not
complete his one hundred and twenty-6rst
year. Jos. Crele was born in Detroit, of
French parents. The record of his bap-
tsm in the Catholic church of that city
shows that he is now 139 years of age
He has been resident of Wisconsin for
about century. Whenever mention is
made of'the oldest iuhahitant, there need
be no question as to the person-Jnseph
Crelc Is undoubtedly the man. IIo was
first married in New Orleans, 100 years
ago. s ,me after he settled at Prairie du
Chen, while Wisconsin was yet province
OF France. Before the Revolutionary war,
he was employed to carry letters between
Prairie du CHEN and Green Bay. 1t is
but few years ago, that he was called as
witness in the court, 10 case involving
the title to certain real estate at Prairie
du Chen, to give testimony in relation to
events that transpired eighty years before.
He now resides with a daughter by his
third wife, who is over seventy years of
age. The residence of the family is only
four or five miles out of Portage City
From citizens of that place we learn that
the old mau is still active, is able to chop
wood, AMI to walk several miles He

verses fuently in the French language
H. stoops little under the burden Of

corning his habits, subject of much in.

of extraordinary longevity, we have been
able to learn but kttle, except that he is

How Girard Became Rich.

tune. Let money-making generation
take n 'te, that Girard principles inevita'
bly, produce Grard results. The grand,
the fundamental secret of his success, OF
all success, Was that he understood his
business. He had personal, familiar
knowledge of the ports with which he
traded, the commodities in which he dealt,
the vehicles in which they were carried,
the dangers to which they were liable,
aud the various kinds of men through
whom he acted. He observed everything
and forgot nothing. He had done every.
thing himself which he had occasion to
require others to do. His directions to
his captains and supercargoes, full, mi
mute, exact, peremptory, show the hand
of a master Every possible contingency
was foreseen aud provided for; and he
dem ,nded the most literal obedience to
the maxim, "Obey orders, though you

investing as skillful in gaining money !;
that he made his very pleasure profitable
to himself in money gained, to his neigh

contempt the costly and burdensome os-

She saw them wink their silvery eyes
AS if in rogush play;
Though silent all, to her they seem'd
As if they'd much to say.
So lest their froics should disturb
The sleeping king of light,
She rose so high that her mild eye
Could keep them all in sight.
The stars abash'd, stole softly back,
And look'd demlrc and prim;
Until the moon began to nod,
Her eyes becoming dim.
Then sleppily she sought her hoae,
