residence of Mr.. 4. Mcliac and Cedar Swamp
near Camp Ridge. This line is forty-onc miles
in length, and crosses very level and uniform

RESPECT TO TIE AGED.-Bow low the head,
boy. DO reverence to the old man.
Once like You, vicistudcs Of life have silver
ed the hair, and changed the round, merry
face to the worn yisage before you.
Once that heart beat with incidents co-cqual
to any YOU have ever felt; aspirations crushed
by, disappointment, as perhaps yours arc dcs-
tined to be.
Once that form moved proedly through the
gay scenes Of life; now the hand Of Time that
withcrs the flowers Of Yesterday has warped
the figure and destroyed the noble carriage.
Once at your age he possessed the thoughts
that pass through your brain, now wishing to
accomplish deeds worthy OF nook in fame,
anon imagining lite dream, that the sooner
he awoke from the better. The time to awake
is now very near at hand yet his eye kindcs
at noble deeds of daring, and the land makes
fmer grasp of the staff.
Bow low the head, boy, as YOU would in
volir old age be rcverenccd.
