A PIoNEER-THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE
STATE.-A woman named Isabella Ward, who
is now residing on Sycamore-street, near

100 years of age. She removed to this place,
then wilderness, more than half century
ago, and has remained here ever since. She
is now living in q miserable old frame tene
msnt with her son, who Is over seventy years
of age, both of whom are objects of charity,
and worthy the attention of the humane and
sympathy Of the benevolent.

But on my word. Love, I'm afraid -.

Believing not Notwithstanding tosl
Was half he represented,
The plying Lily, all the while
Refusing, still consented;
But when the moon with dewy tread,
Came round to wake the flowers,
Alas the Lily's dropping head
Rose not to greet the hours.
And though the bees around its cup
At noon, as usual, dallied,
Oh never more was lifted up
The leaves which Love had sullied.
