YoungMaaulay as born in the year 1800, educated at Trinity, Cam bridge, where he acquired a replutatiomn asa scholar and debater, and twice worn the Chancellor's medal, first, by his poem "Pompeii," second, "Evening." Hie was elected Fellow of Trinity and devoted himself to litedrature, becomingip a contributor to Knight'' Quarterly a Magazinc. In 1825 he made his ap. T pmrancein the EldiNburghA Review in his famous essay on Milton, produtio so learned, enthusiastic, and brilliant thati it captivated the whole reading world, Ch and plaeced him in the first ranks of es-__ ayists. In 186 he was olledtothebar t but never practiced the profeasion. , About this time he was elected to Par liament, for which he repaid his enstit- w nenta by setting forth theirdoctrinein a b manner so luminous, powerful and at tractive that his adversaries werei chared, and convianed if they werec not eavieted. c In 1836S he went to India and spent t sometime inthe pireparation ofa new l penal code, Int was not very successful. i Onhis return he was re-elected to Par liament. As a statesman he was the implicit frienld of freedom, both eivii and p religios. He eloquently sustained the in Roman Catholic bill far the relief of ,1_ Catholies, and in cnmsequence was uan seated, but fie years thereafter was iv re-elected without effort on his part In . 1848 he published the frs two volubames i of his world-renowaned "History of En. it gland-the finest history, too, ever 111 written by ancient or modern writer. It w was received with a enthusiastic ppn- , larity which halus Ibeen attained by very ew of the great novelists. l When he publishted in 1860 his two' last volumes they created Asuclh excite-as ment in Paternoster row as hadl never I Sbeen aseen lfie. Shortly after he was 1. 'electold amemlerg fthe FrenchAcademy i of 31oral and 1itieal Science, and wasu ! raisnl to te pnete in England under I the title of Baron Macaulay. He died in l8M, at Holly id.ge, near Lo I don. He Wa a man of superlative tal- ht Senut, thoromugh scholarship, and his ac- c cumulated knowledge was prodigious. vs His knowledge dof modern Enropia and especially English history fron the time to of HenryVIIL was unsurpassed.

Shepherd Myc in T Ie following article is just as goalod ad- ~Pk rice for the printer or any other busi- i aes man as fior the farmer: elm "I think one of the worst evils tlhe w, arner has to contend with is going Lto debt.
