Come, let US make his pleasant grave

Where The sad river wave on wave,

Sigh softly, softly shining stream because he loved

Your rlnks must stand as de- today
To give our darling room
These dcw-drops Which you shed IN lovers
Are loving tears, klow-
Bloom brightly, brightly, crate u lowers because he

Here with th'r so'taued, cautious tread

Shall walk about his gassy bed,
Ard coo the sultry hour
We may rot wave to smiles again
eyes which sleep below
Fall lightly, lightly, pleasant rain because he loved

And when the summers voice is dumb
And LOST her bloomy grace,
When sobbing 'uumns dmpfss come
To weep above the place,
TIN all the forest oughs are Trimmed,
Their leafy pride laid low
Greye gently, gently, wainC wind because he loved

And when, beneath the chilly light
That crowns the day,
The storms all fold his grave IN white,
And shut the world sway.

REMARKABLE LONGEVITY.

Detroit, 1t appears can lay claim to
being the birth place OF that wonder
ful individual. the oldest inhabitant.
A storv reaches Us from Madison, Wis
eonsin, that one Joseph Crele, now re-
siding a short distance out of Portage
City, in that State, was born in Detroit
Of French parents, one hundred and
thirty nine years ago. Tho record of
his baptism in the Catholic Church in
the city. it is said establishes the fact.
lie has been resident of Wisconsin
about century. Whenever mention
is made of the "oldest inhabitant,
there need be no question as to the
person. Joseph Circle is undoubtedly
the man. He was first married in
New Orleans one hundred and nine
wears ago. Some years after he set
tied at Prairie du Chen, while Wis
consin was yot province OF France.
Before the Revolutionary War, he
was employed TO carry lctters between
Prairie du Chen and Green Bay. 1t
is but few years ago that he was
called as witness in the Circuit Court,
in case involving the title to certain
real estate ut Prairie du Chien, TO give
testimony in relation 70 events that
transpired eighty years before. he
now resides with 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.
The old man is still active, is able to
chop wood, and walks several miles.
He speaks English quite imperfectly,
but converses fuently in the French
language. He stoops little under
the burden of years, but not more than
many men at seventy. In person, he
is rather above the medium height,
spare in flesh, but showing evidence
Of having been in life's prime q man of
sinewy strength. Concerning his hab-
its, a'subject Of much interest in con-
nection with an instance of such ex'
traordinary longevity, we have been
able to learn but little, except that he
is an inveterate smoker.-[Detroit

ny A. To hAbONs
While edging along through crowded street,
OF neighboring CITY, | chanced tomeot
A friend that I knew;some ten years ago,
Walking along with steps measured and slow;
His body erect-but head hanging down,
Not seeming to notice the people or town.

Thr king that mIybshe had received news
OF nature, that ii happened to mention
"a how do you do" to gain his attention,
1t might be the cause Of swapping in twain,
Some thought he was trying to fix on his brain.
But not having seen him before for SO long,
felt in my heart that it would be wrong,
To let such good opportunity slip
For giving friend an old social grip.
Especially him, who now stood in my track,
For we were to each other not many years back
AS closely related us the bow to the fiddle;
Or to uso an old phrase once. saw in riddle,
/" Thick as three in bed, and two in the middle"
So walked up,to him and extended my hand,
Expecting he certainly would come 20 stand;
But he kept moving on with the same measured
tread,
Not even looking up or turning his head,
Although he had taken the hand had proifered,
And shaken it slightly-he never once offered,
To make remark or look in my face.
But seemed most desirous ofcontinung his pace.
l felt somewhat slighted-and alittle offended
And puzzled to know, ifhe surely intended,
BY passing aside my salutation unheeded,
TT, oive mo n hint that was mt needed.
Or had something reached his delicate ear,
Which might have said for him not to hear.
But this couldn't be, under no circumstances
So concluded to make some further advances.
My conscience assured mo that should act bolde
As gave him slap. with my hand on his shoulder
And with loud voice-that made people stare
And wonder what had broken loose in the air.

As ifawokedrom a dream, he gave quick start,
And saluted ME with, Its running right smart"
Why, what in the world is the mntter said I,
Old fellow, you certainly are not ona "high,"
That you wish to slip past, and not recognize
An old true friend quoth he "stockS On the RISE"
Ihave not seen you for ten years or more,
And indeed you look better than ever before.
Yes, said he, " about ttesIre hundrbd feet bore"
How is your "wre" and all the small ''wares"t
