From the Charleston Patriot.
GREAT LONGEVITY.

Died, in this city, on Saturday night
last, the 9th ult. Mrs. STARR BARRETT, al
ter having fully completed one hundred
and twenty years of an active and various
life. This venerable lady was born 10 the
year 1899 of the Christian 9ga, and 1913
(solar calculation) of the Hegira of the
Mahommedans, about year before the
death Of Charles ii. king Of Spain-to
which country her family had emigrated
at an early period of her life. She was
born in one Of the Barbary states; which,
could not be ascertaiDed by the writer, but
ii is supposed under the empire of Mo
rocco. Peter /. was then Gar of Musco-
wa title now enlarged to that Of empe.
ror Of all the Russias. Frederick Au-
gustus was king Of Poland. Charles XII.
was king of Sweden. Frederick vi. son
Of Christian v was king of Denmark
William III. king of England. Peter ~
king Of Portugal, and Louis XIV. king of
France.
Mrs. Barrett possessed a constitution
truly Arabian--she was seldom or never
sick, and rather withered away like some
majestic tree, which gradually looses its
moisture, but which the tempest has al
ways spared. A variety Of circumstail-
ces formed her great traveller, and she
had visited, with no unobservant eye, the
four quarters of the globe. She spoke
English, Spanish, Italian and French,with
great fluency; was perfectly acquainted
withthe mixed Morisco or Frank, as it is
spoken by the traders along the southern
shores of the Mediterranean; was mistress
of the Hebrew, and wrote, spoke and trans.
lated the pure Arabic with ease and ele-
gance. Her memory was very tenacious
Of impressions made in early youth-but
for the last half century she was apt to for
get occurrences from one day TO another.
She recollected the public joy in Spain
upon the important discovery Of the Phil
lipine Islands, by the Spanish navigators
as well as the battle Of Almanac which was
fought on the frontiers Of the kingdom Of
Valencia, when the army Of Philip With
king Of Spain, obtained complete victo-
ny over the Imperialists under the Arch
Duke Charles. Both these events occur.
red in 07,when The subject Of this notice
was only eight years Of age. She was near
the scene Of action when Gibraltar was
besieged by the Spaniards, ia 1927.

Ifnl disposition, even after her blindness,
which continued the last thirty years o.
her life. Latterly, extreme debility had
reduced her 10 second infancy. She ate
every thing within the pale Of the He
brew rule [being Jewess and strict IN her
religious duties drank aud slept well, ana
was remarkably clearly about her person.
After dwelling 80 or 40 years III London,
she came to this country in $50, then 10
the S0th year of her age, and lived 10 tins
city for the last forty years. Her mortal
sickness did 20, last fortnight; when la-
wing completed truly pasriarchal age, she
was gathered TO her fathers, leaving be-
hind her hall dozen generations, 10 the
fifth and sixth removal. She died, es-
teemed by all who knew her; and greatly
beloved by her family for her amiable
qualities and fervent piety.. They were
accustomed to look upon her with feel
ing approaching to a religious veneraiion /;
nor could the rejecting mind regard her
person or face, for a moment, without q
sentiment that would thrill the heart aud
make the couutenance turn pale. Her
great age had hebeld the sons aud daush-
tiers of men fall before her like the leaves

it was TO the utmost span, must have ap-

REFLECTIONS ON THE NEW YEAR.
ny sRLLECK OSBORN


A NEW YEAR! and pray zphdt is new,
With him, or her. or me, or you
Dear reader let's consider:
Would it be new if VICE were still,
Riding on Fortunes splendid Wheel
With VIRTux trudging at her heel,
And Conscience up for highest bidder !
Pray zphat is new? Are any less
Extrayagant, in foodor dress
Are Old Years. habits mended
Rears PRIDE less high her towering crest
In MAIrcx banish'd from each breast!
And is the reign of AyARIcE ended!
Has IDLEyEss been driven hence
Has Folly yielded to good sense
Has vile Iatempcrance depsrted!
Has VANITY now ceased to tickle!
Are PrAdes less prin, or Fssrts less tickle,
Or Coquettes more true hearted
Does the mechanic cease to fret
Over the long unsettled debt,
Due from the rich delinquent?
Can Printers yet escape from care,
And hope for punctuaI payment where
Their labor and their ink went?
Does TIME with swift and steady pace,
A less Improbable race
Pursue this year. than all may trace
In years that have preceded
And when he points to that great sea,
A shoreless, vast Eternity,
Where all are bound as well as he,
Is the dread signal needed
If not. alas! what is there new,
That's worth thought to me or you,
Or cause for graduation
'Tis but the dull old story Ger;
The moments new, and nothing more;
TIME has but changed his station.
That happy moment that should find
A heart renew'd, purer mind,
Improving time and talents here
Should such thing reach me or you,
That we're a moment, rich as new
That were, indeed blest NEW YEAR.
