The AGE OF THE LADIEs.-A pleasant,
cheerful, lively, generous, charitable minded
lady is never old. Her heart is as young at
6O or 20 as it was at Is or 20: and they
who are old at 60 or 20, are not made old by
time.-They are made old by the ravages Of
passions and feelings of an unsocial and I'M
generous nature, which have cankered their
minds, wrnkled their faces, and withered
their souls. They are made old by envy,
by jealousy by hatred by suspicious, by UNI
charitable feelings; by slandering, scandal
izing, ill.bred habits; which, If they avoid,
they preserve their youth to the very last
so that the child shall die, as the Scriptures
say, a hundred years DID, There are many
old women who pride themselves on being
eighteen or twenty. They carry all the
characteristics of age about them without
even suspectIng that they are old women
Nay, they even laugh and sheer, and make
themselves merry with such mlrlh as malice
can enjoy-by sarcastic reflections upon the
age of olhers-who may step in modestly
between them and admiration, or break down
the monopoly of attraction which they have
enjoyed for season, either in Imagination
or reality. Pride is an old passion, and
vanity is grey as the mountains. They are
old women that have much Of either. They
are dry, heartess, dull, cold, Indifferent.
They want the well-spring of youthful aflec-
ton, which is always cheerful, always active,
always engaged in some labor of love which
is calculated 10 promote and distribute en-
joymcnt. They piuc, repine, sigh and
groan they yawn and stretch themselves;
they murnur, erumble long, fret, frown;
they snap, snar, carp, and vapor. They
go TO bed in the morning; they breakfast in
bed; they find fault with this. that, and
t'other thing they make even their own
children run away from them and take refuge
in the cellar, or the back kitchen, or any
other place that may rid them of the old
woman. And the children, on such occa-
sions, also call them old, by an instinct Of
nature. Old woman, old lady, old grim face
old grippe, or any other nickname with the
epilhet old prefiyed to ii, is as commonly ap.
piled by children to bad-,empered mothers,
nurses, or aunt, as pretty, kind, sweet, dear,
and other youthful eplhets, are instinctively
applied to the good humored grandam with
her wrinkled face. There is an old age Of
the heart, which is possessed by many, who
have no suspicion that there Is anything old
about them; and there is youth which
never grows old, Love who is ever boy,
Psyche who is ever girl.

BY REV. n. w. HAMILTON, d. d. LII. D.
Land of the mountain, hail.
Thy giant peaks arise
From out OF the decpmost dale,
To pierce the arching skies;
Send firth thy mountain cry,
Which shooK the earth Of DID,
1t rings OF liberty
Wlere'er its voice has rolled.
Land OF the forest, hail.
Deep through thy solemn shades
Tie hollow storm winds wall,
Ana thy dark verdure fades.
O clap thy eaty hands,
And let thy sylvan mirth
Awake the glowing bands
Or freedom DER the earth.
Land of the torrent, hail!
W hose trembling waters roar
Down every channel'd vale,
To every distant shore.
Ye floods, your thunder roll
Far to the believing main;
And rouse the free born soul
With natures choral strain.
Land OF the lSlet, hail.
Let all that gem-like throng,
Each tuited rock, prevail
To swell the freeman's song;
And while this infant host
Their shrller notes employ,
Re-echo'd by the coast,
Prolong the sounding Joy.
Land of the tempest, hail!
Before whose angry sweep
The roots of ages quail,
And ioams to heaven the deep.
Send thou its voice and van,
To peal, to watt the shout
Or disenthralled man
The universe throughout.
Land Of the meteor, hail!
Thy mists as incense wreath,
Careerng on the gale.
Or sleeping still beneath;
Let votive curls, as crest,
Climb towering to the skies,
Us swells the awful burst
OF all these harmomes!
Land Of my fathers, hail!
roam thy hneal child,
Where'er thy vapors sail,
Or leap thy cataracts wild;
My fathers fought beside
Thy noblest chivalry,
Nor fails the patriot tide,
Nor shall TIL shrinks the sea.
But dearest to my heart
That firm heroic band;
or truth, who took the part,
For conscience made tie stand
Your Wondering tomhs seek,
Where the black thistle nods,-
Ye, being dead, yet speak,
And prove your cause was Goes.
And oh, my father land,
Dear is thy soil to me,
As freedoms hallow d strand
In blood. in spirit free:-
Compel the hand that wcaves
The garland of thy fame,
Among its proudest leaves,
Or Irvine the martyrs name.

Mason and Dixon,s Line.


A correspondent wishes us TO give
an explanation Of "Mason and DiAon's
Line"-a term which is ol,en used 10
designate the boundary between the
free and the slave States. We cannot
do ii better than by publishing the fol-
lowing article which appeaved IN the
Salem Gazette. August, 1871:
Mason an DtI0n's Line This
boundary is so termed from the names
of Charles Mason and jeremiah Dixon
two gentlemen who were appointed
to run unfinished lines in 1862, be-
tween Pennsy lvania and Maryland, on
the Territories, subject to The heirs of
Penn and Lord Baltimore. A tempo
rary line had been run in 1899, but
had no, given satisfaction to dispuung
parties. although il resulted from an
agreement in 1890, between them
selves. A decree had been made in
1918 by King James, dellneallng the
boundaries between the lands given by
charter 10 the frs, Lord Baltimore, and
those adjudged to his Majesty alter

Bay and the Chesapeake Bay, by
line equally intersecting il, drawn from
Cape Henlopen 10 the 10th degree OF
North latitude. A decree in chancery
rendered the Kings decree imperative.
Blu, the situation of Henlopen became
long a subject of serious, protracted
and expensive litigation, particularly
after the death Of Penn, i'll IT'S. and
Lord Baltimore in l7l4, until John
and Richard and Thomas Penn. (who
had become the sole propreiors OF the
American possessions Of their father

to run the temporary line. This was
effected in 1896. But the case III

could not however agree, and the
question remained open until 1852,
when the line was run by Messrs.. Ma
