rendered precious to ALL tor In death we receive
the everlasting reward How much was this life like

holy thoughts had gone forth from him from this
sanctuary. This was the hrst Sunday after his

fate Of the weary child Of earth TO 20 10 rest. Two
weeks ago the departed occupied the sanctuary for the
last time Then he was stl one Of u.s. but he was one
OF no longer. Thanks to Cod IL was not the
body alone which constitutes mankind but the
soul, which is beyond the reach Of mortality.
That spirit so recently among US was not dead-t was
full Of life Oh, death, whore is thy victory The
speaker alluded TO the personal qualities Of the deceased
pastor He was an untirng servant Of the church Tho

EecbG.

1t IS recorded of a certain clergyman that,
no matter what the subject he discoursed on,
he invariably introduced a warning against
getting into debt. And it is further recorded
that, having been advised by an experienced
friend to take a higher flight, and preach on
some great cardinal doctrine, he wound up a
discourse on the article of a standing or a
falling Church with some such words as
these 9 Ii, my dear brethren, YOU heartily
receive this doctrine, and act it out in your
lives, we shall do well-provided you take
care to keep out of debt" Mr.. Smiles
wisely says, IN his admirable volume on
Self-help, "a volume that ought 10 be in the
hands Of every young man in the three king
doms,) Debt makes everything Il tempta-
ton. 1t lowers a man to self-respect, places
him at the mercy of his tIadesmen and his
servant, and renders him a slave in many re-
spects for he can no longer call himself his
own master, nor boldly look the world in the
face. 1t is also difficult for a man who is in
debt 10 be truthful ; hence it is said that W
ing rides on debts back. The debtor has to
frame excuses to his creditor for pOstponing
the payment of the money he owes him, and
probably also to cOntrive falsehoods. 1t is
easy enough for Il man who will exercise a
healthy resolution 10 avoid mourning the first
obligation but the facility with which that
has been incurred often becomes a temptation
TO Il second, and very soon the unfortunate
borrower becomes so entangled that no late
e~Xertion in industry can set him free. The
first step III debt is like the first step in false
hood, almost involving the necessity of pro-
ceeding in the same course-debt following
debt, as lie follows lie.-Reu. j. II. Ballard.

Madison and Marshall.

Miss MartIueau Is helping 10 correct pub
lie sentiment ia England and turn It in "a
vOr Of tne North, by giving "reminiscences of
her visit 10 America IN 1888. Prominent
Southern men spoke with fnnkuess OF the
evils 81 slavery, and looked with forebodincs
TO the future. She says Of Judge Marshall e:
RE was eightv-three-as bright-eyed and
wam-hearteI as ever, while as dignifed a
Judge rs ever filled the highes; seat in the
highest Court OF any country. He said he
saw Virginia the leading State for half his
life he had seen her becoming the second.
and sink 70 be, / think, the fifth. More than
this, there was no arresting her decline If
her citizens did not put an end to slavery.
and ne saw no signs Of any intention 10 do
so, east Of the mountains, at least. He had
seen whole groups of estates, populous in his
time, lapse into waste. He had seen agri-
culture exchanged for human stock-breeding,
and kcenly felt the degradation. The forest
was run over the fine old estates. and wild
creatures which had not been seen for a gen
Grafton were reappearing; numbers and
wealth were declining, and education and
manners were declining. 1t would not have
surprised him to be told that on that soil
would the main battle be fought, when the
critical day should come which he foresaw.
IF Madison she says:
Mr. Madison had a cheerful and SanGuIne
temper, and if there was one thing rather
than another which he had learned 10 con-
slider secure, it was the Constitution which
he had so large a share in making. Yet he
told me that he was nearly in despair, and
that he had been quite so until the Colonial
ton Society arose. Rather than admit to
that the South would be laid waste
by a servile war, or the whole country by a
;ivii war, he strovc TO believe that millions
IF negroes could be carried into Africa, and
30 got rid of. He talked more Of slavery
han of all other subjects together, returning
o it morning, noon and night. He said that
he clergy perverted the Bible, because it was
-ltogether against slavery; that the colored
population was increasing faster than the
White, and that the state of morals was such
IS barely permitted society to exist.
OF the issue Of the conflict, whenever it
you'd occur, there could, he said, be no
oubt. y society burdened with a slave
could make no permanent resistance
, the unencumbered enemy; and he was
stOnished at the fanaticiSm which blinded
ONE Southern men to so clear a certainty.

The Oldest Wan lin the World.

We Will not assert that the oldest Of living
men IS 4 resident Of Wisconsin, but we chal-
I lenge any other State or country 10 produce
4 man or woman who has attained the age
reached by Joseph Crele, now residing in the
town Of Caledonia, Columbia county, in this
State. During the French Revolution one
Jean Claude Jacob, a member of the Ma
tonal Assembly, was called the d" Dean of
the human Species D. - the eldest Of men"
On his smeared worn face were ploughed the
f~uTowings of one hundred and twenty years.
But our " Dean of the human species " is
nearly twenty years older than Claude Ja-
cob, who did not complete his one hundred
and twenty-frst year.
Joseph Crele was born in Detroit, of
French parents. The record of his baptism
in the Catholic Church shows that he is now
l39 years of age. He has been a resident
of Wisconsin for about n century. When
ever mention is made of the oldest inhab-
liant, there need DC no question as to the
person, Joseph Crele Is undoubtedly the man.
He was first married in New Orleans, 100
years ago. Some years after he settled at
Prairie du CHEN, while Wisconsin was vet
a province of France. Before the Revolu-
tiOnary war he was employed to carry letters
between Prairie du Chen and Green Bav.
1t Is but q few years ago that he was called
as a witness in the Circuit Court. in a case
involving the title TO certain real estate at
Prairie du Chen, to give testimony in rela-
ton 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
of that place we learn that the old
man is still active, is able to chop wood, and
TO walk several miles. He speaks English
quite imperfectly, but converses ~fuently in
the French language. He stoops a little I'M
der the burden of years. but not n.ore than
many men of seventy. In person he is
above the medium height. spare in
lesh, but showing evidences OF having been
n his prime a man of sinewy strength.
Concerning his habits, a subject of much ill.,
crest in connection with an instance of such
extraordinary longevity, we have been able
o learn but little, except that he is an in

Bills on Frat Reading.
BY Mr.. Lewis: A bill to .Eepeal an act to limit
the elective franchise, and ~ other purposes.

have been in armed rebellion against the United
States and who shall have taken and subscribed
to the oath prescribed in the Presidents Amnesty
Proclamation of May goth, 1865, or who shall have
received the pardon Of the President, and these
who were known to be adherents of the Govern.
ment of the United States but were conscripted by

duce satisfactory proofs Of these facts or any such
above described persons who shall have received
or may hereafter receive the pardon of the Presi
dent OF the United States az indicated in his proc
lamation, shall be entitled to the privilege OF the

? The bill, in Short admits all TO the privilege Of
the elective franchise who are not debarred by the
Presidents Proclamation Of Amnesty.
Mr. Arnell moved to lay the ball on the table

H9. If the negroes Of the South were vested
with the elective franchise, they would be citizen.
in the full sense of the word, and, as such, could
they not settle in the North in defiance of the State
laws which now forbid their immigration If 90
would they not seek homes in the midst Of peo
pie who assert the social as well political equa
ty of the races7 Here, they can never enjoy the
slightest social equality with the whites-they know
this and inclination aud interest would prompt then
to leave the country. If anything could reconcile
us to negro suffrage it would be the prospect of get
ting rid of them in this way.
