An Essex correspondent thus aludes to the
death of one Of the Oldest and most respected
citizens Of Chittenden county;
The late Marshall Castle, of Essex, who died
last month, at the age Of nesrly ninety-three
years, was, in his early days, warned out Of
the town " of Jericho, on sccout Of his poverty.
1t was the custom in those early times, if per-
son Was liable, from any csuse, to require sup
port from the town, for the selectmen to warn
him to leave town. aud thereafter he could not
legally become charge to the town. At the
time Of his death, and many years before, he and
bis son owned and occupied one Of the largest
and one of the most desirable river farms in
Essex. He was man of most excellent judg-
ment, of untiring industry, was often chosen to
the most important Offices in town, and what
gave GROWING glory to his life, he wac life
long christian. Not long before bis death he
said to me, as expressive Of his quiet submission
to his Fathers will" all the days Of my sp-
pointed time will toait till my change come"
this text he selected for his funeral sermon.
l asked him If be WAS still trusting in Christ >
" Yes,'' said he, instantly, e" and | want to
praise Him"
"pll praise my Maker with ny breath,
And when my voice is lost in death
Phi praise Him with my nobler powers,
While lite ard thoughta being lasts,
Or Immortality endures."
