BROTHER CRAWFoRD's SER
MON

A SOUTHERN exchange gives this ~
the first sermon of new minister in
village in that section. He began apollo
geticnlly as follows:
you don't see me to-day in the
dress I alters wear; 7 come among you
as a stranger and am now tricked out
in my store clothes. am not a proud
man, but thought It would be more
becoming among strangers"
After this he raised hymn in which
the congregation joined. He then be-
gan his sermon.
My dear brethren and sisters, first
and foremost, Pm gwine to tell you the
affecting partin' had with my congre-
cation at Bethel Chapel. After / had
got through with my farewell sermon
as | come down outen the pulpit, the
old gray-headed brethren and sisters
who listened to my voice twenty years,
crowded around me and with sobbing
voices and fearful eyes, said-Farewell,
brother Crawford!
As walked down the aisle, the young
ladies', tricked out in their finery, brass
jcwelry, gewgaws, jim-cracks, paints
and hounces, looked up with their
bright eyes, and pronounced with their
rosy Observation-Disclosures Crawford!
The young men, in their tight pants,
new boots, high collars and dashy waist
coats-smelling of pomatum aud cigar
smokc-with shanghai coats, and stri-
ped Zebra pants-they too said-Fare-
well, brother Crawford
The little children-lambs in the fold
lifted up their tiny hands and small
voices, and with one accord said-Fare-
well, brother Crawford
The colored brethren of the congrega-
ton now came forward Cblack sheep
who had been admitted to the fold un-
der my ministry with tears rolling
down their cheeks, they too said-fare-
well, brother Crawford
AS got on my horse and babe adieu
to my congregation forever turned
to take n last look at the church where
had preached more than twenty years,
and as I gazed at its dilapidated walls
and moss-covered roof-it too seemed TO
say-farewell, brother Crawford!
AS rode through the village the peo-
pie who poKed their heads outen the
windows and the servants who leant on
their brooms, all seemed to saH-Fare-
WE'LL brother Crawford!
As | passed along down the highway,
through the forest, the wind, Us it
sighed and whistled through the tree
tops, playing on the leaves and branch
es the burden Of salvation, it seemed 10
say-Farewell, brother Crawford
Crossing Il little creek that was CUR
Cling and singing over the pebbly bed,
as it rejoiced on its way to the great
ocean of eternity, it too seemed to say
Farewell, brother Crawford.
AS | rode along down hot dusty
lane, an old SOW that was asleep in u
fence corner, jumped out of Il sudden
with loud broo-too, broo-too; she too
seemed to osay-Farewell, brother CraW

My horse got frightened and jumped
from under me, and as he curlcd his
tail over his back--kickcd up his heels
and ran off; he too seemed to say

ALL IN DEBT.-Man is Gods debtor
in Il thousand ways. We commence
with his being. "lIe made us, and not
we ourselves" AS 'none can keep alive
his own SOUL" it follows that, not hav-
ing the power to preserve life, so that
we are neither sclf-created nor self-pre-
served. God made US. II is proper
and beautiful acknowledgment of the
service: "We thank thee for our crea-
ton" VIII any intelligent individual
assert that he is under no obligation to
God for his bodily existence, his intel
lectual faculties, his moral powers, his
soul capable of such enjoyment now,
and, if saved, destined to Il Il happiness
inconceivibly great and eternal hereaf-
ter? This is a debt. We owe all we
are to Him who has said, 81 have crea-
ted him for My glory" We are not

TOUCHING PAssAGE.-"Thcrc Is q
CODY The herbs of the valley, the CO.
dars of the mountain, bless him the
insects sport in his beams the elephant
salutes him with the rising of the day;
the bird sings Him in the foliage the
thunder proclaims Him in the heavens;
the ocean declares his immensity. Unite
in thought ut the same instant, the most
beautiful objects in nature; suppose
that you see at once all the hours of the
day and all the seasons of the year
morning of spring and morning of au-
tumn; night bespangled with stars
and night covered with clouds; mead
ows enameled with flowers and forests
hoary with snow; fields gilded by tints
of autumn; then alone you will have
just conception of the universe. While
you are gazing upon that sun which is
plunging under the vault of the west,
another observer ?dmires him emerging
from the gildcd tes of the east. BY
what inconccivaIle magic does that
aged star which Is sinking and fatigued
and burning in the shades of the even
ing, reappear at the same instant fresh
and humid with the rosy dews of morn
ing? At every instant Of the day the
glorious orb is ut once rising, resplcn-
dent at monday, and setting in the
west; or rather our senses deceive Us
and there is properly speaking no east,
west, or south in the world. Everything
reduces itself to single point, from
whence the king of day sends forth at
once triple light in one substance.
The bright splendor is perhaps that
which nature can present that is most
beautiful, for while it gives US an idea
of the perpetual magniicence and re-
sistless power of God, it exhibits at the
same time shining image of the glo-
rous trinity.

Fort Vincennes.

The remains of the old fort, erected at
Vincennes, A. d. 100, are yet visible.
Fort Vincennes was one of the great chain
of frontier Notifications which the French
erected to enable them to retain possession
of the vast territories bordering on the
lakes and Ohio and Mississippi rivers. A
correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal
says: "The first permanent settlement at
Viucennes was made by colony Of French
and halfbreeds from Canada, whose de-
cendants now occupy a largo part of our
city. The primitive dwellings were built
in the style Of the Spanish adobe, the tim
bers set upright in the ground, and the in
terstices filed with unburned brick. Many
of these old cabins are yet inexistence and
occupied by some of the old French fam
lies. There are many old people, nearly
one hundred years Of age, now occupying
some of these old cabins, scarcely ten by
twelve, in which they were born aad rear
ed. The first English emigrants located
here about 1900. The first brick building
erected here was the Harrison House,
which is yet one the best buildings in our
city.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, June "a, 1867.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, June l4, 1867.
To the Editor of the Chicago Tribune:
see that the New York papers are talk
ing about the failure of the Merchants
Union Express, and base their deductions
on the grounds:
!. That the New York Central and GER
tain other railroads are going to give the
CldtOmpanics such privileges that the Mer-
chants Union will not be able to compete.
. That the bankers all over the country
are going TO ship all their currency and do
all their bushes with the old companies,
and that their business, being the most
profitable, viii initiate against the Mer
chants to such an extent, combined with
the railroad interest. that, from sheer ex-
liaustion, il will have to succumb.
Being an interested party-a shipper as
well as stock owner-it seems TO me that
there is a remedy. which, if properly ap-
piled and vigorously carried out by the
eight thousand siock-holding merchants
and twenty thousand friends, will work a
radical and permanent cure.
The railroads depend to a considerable
extent. both i'm regf rd to freight and pas
senger traffic. upon the aforesaid merchants
for their earnings. Now let every railroad
that attempts to throttle this company be
published far and near, and let the Mer-
chants, each and every one, resolve that
they will ignore them, If that is the policy,
and ship and travel by other roads which
are not trying to kill healthy competition.
and one which they are pecuniarily and
friendly interested in.
AS regards the bankers they arc in the
same category, for all the exchange they
draw is TO supply these same merchants,
and if they have TO ship the currency to
meet these drafts. and persist in sending
by the old companies. let the merchants
make arrangements with the Merchants
Union and ship their own currency; keep
their deposits with some oftheir New York
houses. and let the bankers feel that rccip-
rocity should be rule of business.
1t seems to me that in the express war
that is going on, there should he some uni
ty of action between the eight thousand
stockholders who, by committee, could
confer with the officers of the Merchants
Union Express Company, and, if fight is
the order of the day, unitedly carry the
war into Africa.
