The oldest negro. Yet.

We have at last got hold of a psrticu.
larly old negro. There have been countless
classes Of tolerabiy advanced blacks, but the
case below, which we copy from an ex-
change is said to be perfectly authentic and
finishes the list. She ought to be shown
around:
Some time ago sent you an account of
an old negro man who died at Charleston, at
the advanced age Of lib years. Since then
| have seen a statement OF negro woman
who died in Farquar CO., Va, aged A0
years. A friend, who was formerly an off.
Ger in the U. s. Army, relates that when he
was stationed at Pas Chris,iene, in Louisi.
ana, he was in the habit, with his brother
officers, of visiting an aged negress who
sold buttermlk. On ono occasion the fol.
lowing conversation took plate:
cold woman, hoy old are you'll" s
81 dunno, Massa." as.4:
SLOW long have you lived about here!"
"Oh, long time, long time, Massa.'
She then went on to relate circumstances
i'll connection with the history OF our coun-
try, which proved that she must have arrived
at an advanced age.
"Well, can't you refer to any circum-
stance by which you may come to your
age!" A
"Well, Massu, I'se had nineteen children,
md that gal (pointing to an old woman,) 10
the youngest; and knoI she is ninely."
The old woman was quite active when our
informant saw her last, and attended to the
sale Of her buttermlk herself, in preference
10 calling her ''gal," whom she represented
to be "too good for dat" A4.'l

There are hours, dark hours, that mark
the history of the brightest year. For not

the past, perhaps. has the sun shone so

And yet the mist and shadows of the dark

the most furious storm loses its power to

works at its destined lubors. Here, too,
we have the wer shadowing Of dark hours,

Spring, Autumn and Eternity.
DYL. @. CLARK.

BY L. @. cLLEK.
There are two things dearly love,
lnnature-s clrcllng year,
Which In Hly spirit far above
The weight of earthly care;
s- They bring before my eager view
The brightness of home, t
Whore all their loveliness is true,
Nor change can ever come.
The early times of Springs first hours,
Brings freshness to the heart;
~ They rouse the wearied spirits powers,
.- And sweeter life lmpart;
Her dancing breezes gently WOO
The blossoms ofthe rose,
AN wet with sparkling morning dew,
Their petals to enclose.
The weary sufferer Of pain,
The bowed with care and grief
Hailher returning once as;in,
With hopes Of sWeetrelief;
Spring hours cannot fail to bring ..r
Calm and consoling thought,
Her many voices ever sing
ofjoy to mortals brought.
Bat how, o Autumn sbaIll dare
To paint thy gorgeous hues?
Tho softness Of thy morning air,
Thine evenings pearly dews,
Tho solemn grandeur ofthy night,
Whose starry crown is set
With gems more radiantly bright
Than earthly cornet!
The glory Of thy sunset hour,
When oil is calm and still,
Brings full conviction Of the Power
4 That heaven and earth doth fill;
OH who eau gaze upon thy skios,
: As twilight shades ihem DER,
And notlrom earthly dreamlngs rise,
Their Maker to adore HI.. ..
The wreath off.dng summer flowers
~. Is yeturon thy brow, ..-
But all the mirth Of Summer hours
Is changed TO sadness now:
And yet, upon thy dying head,
A solemn beauty lies,
More glorious than the riches spread
'NOath Summers glowing skies.
Ever, o Autumn! shalt thou be
To us, an emblom meet
ofspirirs sinking peacefully
To srumber calm and sweet;
Though thy delights not long may last,
Yet ours shall stll increase,
Thy reign be soon forever past,
But ours shall never cease.
All not like thee shall pass away
The Christain's hope and joy;
We look for an eternal day,
And bliss without alloy
Forg.ores hid from mortal sight,
.. Revealed in realms above
For fadeless crown of heavenly light,
And Perfectness oflove.
