BY MRS. n. 5.
He lived all the Of his days, and they three
ars and ten"
An old msn by the window,
For the spring was drawing near,
And tho corse OF the dread old winter
Had gone TO the tomb Of the year
The sunlight, soft and uncouded
Sueamed in DER the oaken floor.
And reted with gold tue dark panels.
Quantity carved In the ancient door.
The hands of the old man tremblod.
His beard was frosted and thin,
Aud chill as the heart OF December
Was the heart that was toiing wihni
Like embers half quenched and dying
On u desolaIe hearth at night
Burned the ashes Of life ia his bosom.
As he sat ia the springs clear light.
He looked on the young buds swelling,
And tear DER his wrinkles suayed;
He thought Of the wife OF his bosom,
VINO slept in the valleys green shade;
He thought how her steps had laltered,
Midway on the journey OF life,
And how on deaths bosom she rested,
When weary and worn with the strife.
The forms of his innocent children
She nightly had folded in prayer,
And laid on the soft lap OF sumber
With tender and moherly care,
Rose up in the old mans vision
He saw that one tired now slept
Like a lamb, by the side OF its mother,
Where willow leaned over and wept.
One son had since wandered from virtue;
The father In spirit had yearned
10 grant MIN forgiveness and blessing,
Bat the prodgal never returned
Another had welded with Mammon,
And worshipped the prince of this world.
And one meath the Cross had enlisted,
And fought where its banners unfured.
A daughter, the fairest and dearest,
In loneliness walked by his side,
Nor envied the lot OF her sisters,
Who dazzled with beauty and pride;
Her voice was her hearts sweetest music,
When from the blest volume she read,
That bfightens the valley Of shadow,
And smooths down the path OF the dead.
For all his affliction and sorrow,
For all his misgiyings and grief,
For the night OF his doubling and darkness,
He found in It's pages relief;
His life had been checkered it'll sadness,
And as il drew to its close,
He longed for that home of the weary
The land of immortal reposo!
The old man sat by the window
As the sun dropped low in tho sky,
His spirit, with silent rejoicing,
Went up to its mansion on high:
Another green hillock in summer
Received the baptism OF dew,
And down in the dust OF the valley
He rests by the tender and true

man, the son Of q highly respectable citizen,
laboring under violent attack Of mania, went
into the Girard Bank with check for 800 O00

him there, when he went into store and seized
the key Of a fre-proof. Officers were called in.
He fought the officers and several citizens des-
perately, and was with difficulty mastered. His

ENTHUSIASTICALLY anti-renters Of the State
of New York have been holding Convention at
Albany, in which six or seven counties have
been represented. Their movements and policy
seem to be based not only ON the " vote yourself
farm" principle, but on that of "vote yourself
somebody else's farm" which, in this age of
progress, appears to be o very expeditions and
comfortable way of getting on in the world.
This is curious enough, but, superadded to the
curiosity, is the list of the names of the most
prominent who figured in the convention, to wit
Messrs. Slingerland, Tarbox, Spawn, Wigsby,
Peter Finkle, Frinky, and Deyylas These
names seem to be appropriate to the object in
view, and we have no doubt the convention had
o good time of it.--Peansyleania

wealth of Virginia, nearly eighty-three thou
sand white persons over the age of twenty-one

Upon inquiry we find that the above infor-

procured from the marshal of Virginia, and
may be true. Yet we will hope not. Ii it be
