WINDHAM.


The Congregational church of this town was
organized in 1743-the fifth in what is now
Cumberland county, those of an earlier date
being only the first church in Portland, and
one each in Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough and
Yarmouth. In these days of short pastorates
and the early retirements of ministers, it is
noteworthy incident to listen to pastor vet in
office at the age Of so years. The Rev. Luther
Wiswall has been pastor of the Windham
church twenty-seven years and is yet vigorous.
On Sunday he celebrated his eightieth birth
day by preaching historical sermon founded
on Barzllai's reply to the king who invited him
to go to Jerusalem and live at his ease, and
eat at the kings table. The very appropriate
text was 81 am this day four score years DID,"
Inc preacher reviewed his own life briefly and
the history of the country within his recollec-
tlon-religious, social and polit cal. He spoke
oil the probable failure in some measure of his
own mental powers (but none can discover iD
but if it was the wish of his people he would
continue in office, until age untitled him, or
they expressed wish to have a younger min
lister, and then he should not stand in the way.
Very few young men have so good knowledge
of theology, as revealed in the scriptures, or
powers of reasoning equaling his
"Iis the sunset of life lends its magical LORE
The reverend gentleman spoke of having in
former years retained place in his native
town in New Hampshire to spend his last days
with the friends of his early life, but with
emotion he added. "They are not there now"
Goldsmith's lines aptly apply to this aged
minister:
"A man he was to all the country dear,
And passing rich with forty pounds year.
Remote from towns he run his godly race,
Nor ere had changed or wished to change his
place;
Impractical he to fawn seek for power
BY doctrines fashioned to the varying hour;
Far other aims his heart had learned to prize
More bent to raise the wretched than to rise.''

Fessenden and Sumner.

Mr.. EDIroR:-I notice in your paper this
morning an article headed "Sumner and Fes-
sender" purporting to be an extract from the
speech of ''Hon. John B. Alley, at the meet
ing of the Massachusetts, Club, in which Mr..
Alley says:
A few days after the death of Senator Fes-
sender l entered the room of Mr.. Sumner and
found him reading letter. in which he
seemed deeply interested. He remarked:
Here is letter which cannot show, but
would like to have you read. 1t was from
Judge Shepley, which related an incident
which have never since heard mentioned,
and do not think has ever been made public
The Judge, alluded to the false report of the
Senator's death, said that when he saw the
report upon the bulletin board he fastened to
the bedside of the dying Senator, and told him
of the report. "What," he exclaimed,
"Charles Sumner dead-impossible The
greatest the wisest, and the best man i'll the Sem
ate of the United States, how can the country
spare him?'' and again exclaimed, "The
greatest, the wisest, and the best taken from
amongst us! How mysterious are the ways of
Providence!' Such was the dying testimony
OF the distinguished Senator from Maine to
the great qualities of head and heart of the
illustrous Charles Sumner.
Now wish to say that no such interview
was ever had between Judge Shepley and
Senator Fessenden during the Senator's last
illness. d. WE
