Ballou's Pictorial Of 24h July says Realizing
the true sense of responsibility attaching to the
Editor and Publisher of widely circulated Jour-

recommend any medical compound the real viz

A REMARKABLE WoMAN.--The Norfolk
papers notice the death in that city. Of a
colored female named Sarah Mallory, who
at the time Of her death was in her hun
dred and twentieth year.
Her youngest child attended her funer-
al as the last Of the family; bis back is bent
and his locks frosted Ger with SHOWS Of
seventy seven winters. She never used
glassss, and to The day Of her death could
thread needle as readily and easy as ever.
Her remains we're enclosed in a neat ma
hogany coffin, on the top Of which were
the initials rs. M. E. 120." They were
followed to the grave by large number
Of both colors. Around the hearse were
six venerable negro men, who with a
white sash across their shoulders acted as
pail bearers; behind were twenty four old
colored ladies; many ofthem possibly three
score and ten years Of age, who were attlr'
ed in black dresses, black capes, with three
rows of white ribbon around, and lead col
cred chip bonnets. with white curtain
trimmed with three rows of black tape
then followed several carriages; while
crowds followed out to see the last of tbi

sPRfNG COMING.

Sping is eoa1ingl The futtering wings
and musical throAts of the little birds told
me so, when l raised my window this
morning, to catch breath of the early
spring. Spring is coming thrilled out
those well. known favorites, in mantles so
blue and bosoms so Ied.' Yes the blue
birds have come again. Two Of them
held long council this morning, sitting
on the same box, where last we watched
them through their busy days.
Spring 10 coming, sang ont rob in red
breast, and the phebe bird; and their SON. s
came like the glad music Of some well-re'
membered favorite air. Spring is com
ing warbled meadow l+rk, as | startled
it from the long dry grass in the meadow
to-day.
Spring is coming, and the blue smoke
rolls away from more than one sugar camp
here in the country; ior the beautiful ma
plies gives out their very lives for our com
forts and luxury-our first luxury-this
maple syrup, coming before the earlies
salad, or berry. Soon the tops of these
very naples will shine out. all aglow with
the bright red tinge Of their earliest bloom
so frerh and pleasing.
Spring is comingl and soon the orchards
will gil the air with their rich perfume
and carpet their houses with wresths, RnC
boquets of pink and white, most fanciful
ly wrought upon a rich, green ground
work.
Spring is comingl The life-bdrstihl
buds of the lilacs and cherry trees tell us 80
The sunny days and south winds tell US so
Let us patiently wait, for winter still liDger
near. Only yesterday l saw the autter o
its white garments in the distance, as
Sc Mt back upon us once more slight man
tie Of its white purity:-only a reminder
that we may not quite forget This in
constant March; there is none other lk
her-she comes to us SO grudgiugly.-
Three steps she trips 1t onward, all smile
and bushes, so gentle and yielding, W
think she is ours; thel suddenly she turns
and we mourn her %aywardness, as W
look out upon the wild reveries Of tn
bleak north winds, the curious frost freaks
and the winters snow. But the birds sti
linger, and their songs come down fror
; the bare leafess trees, like CLEANS OF sun
shine from wintry sky.
And spring is coming Myheart tel
me SO, as I look forth upon the brow
earth. Nature will awaken. 1t shall liv
again; sOon its uunumbered pulses sha
beat and throb with its mighty never-fai
ing life. So shall our bodies live again
ter their long winter's sleep. Spring
