A Boston-corfespoudent writes that the
decrease in tie number Of children in
Massacfiusett, is a subject for our slarm>
lists to ponder upon. Many towns in the
State have beer settled overtwo haSdred
years, and their history includes fro-f' SIX
to eight generations. The records '5f many
of these towns have been examined by Q
Stats official with respect 10 the relative
number of children in each gereratioE,
and it appears that the families comprising
the frst generation had o. an average be-
tween eight and ten children. The next
three generations averaged between seven
and eight to each family; the fifth genera

three to each family. These changes arc

The Grave of NV Annie.

The Grave Of My Annie.
BY wM. ROBERTSON.
Cald blows the wind o er the grave Of my
Annie,
But colder by far is the world 10 me.
Peace be to thy dust, my own dear Annie
Ill mourn thy absence until the day that
dee.
How Oft have I climbed my own native
mountain,
And culled the fair daisie, lis beauties ia
see;
How oft have l drank from the clear crys-
tai fountain;
Bnt natures blank, without Annie, 10
me.
How Oft have strayed thro' the sweet
blooming forest:
The mayies and blackbirds-Low sweeily
they sang;
How oft have acted the part Of the florist
And thought of dear knnie in her own ma
tive land.
It's ma The cald blast, FER the winters wind
blowing,
Nor the cold, distant world, brings a tear
to NY e'e,
But oh. for my Annie, with her gift aye
bestowinc--
What winter is to nature would be sum-
mer To me.
As stood by her grave, In humble sub
mission,
thought, o how soon, would lie by Lcr
side
l thought on fell Death with his stern COM
mission
My short span Of life-how soon to de'ide.
thought of the morn of the great rcsur-
rection,
When the angel shall call aud the dead
will arise.
I thought Of our Lord as our only salvs>
tion,
or him as our Judge coming down from
the skies.
See God in lis love and his mercies de-
scending.
The once lovely Eden again TO restore.
On the pale cheek of Death see beauties
transceDding
With holy perfection the Lamb to adore.
Ny Annie still sleeps in her cald bed of
dust,
Nv Annie will rise, her life to renew;
NV Annie will come when earih's fctters
shall burst

ALBEMARLE, Co.. Va, Feb. T.-Three months
ago we came TO live in the interior of Virginia,
much to the distress of many of our friends who
looked upon going to the South IN its present un-
settled condition, as madness What the state Of
society in other parts Of the South s we cannot say
from personal experience, but in our neighborhood
all is perfectly quiet; no murders, robberies, nor
other deeds of violence, are committed: we do not
even hear Of barn-breaking, chicken-steang, and
other small disturbances so common in the vicinity
of our native cty-New-York
We particularly interested in the negroes; they
are intelligent, learning easily and expressing de-
sire to be taught. Many of them already read. Sun
day before last we witnessed a scene account of
which may be interesting to some of your readers,
who like ourselves have always lived in the North,
and are, therefore, unacquainted with Southern
scenes. The occasion TO which we refer was the
burial OF negro-an old family servant OF one OF
our neighbors. This man, after spending nearly
lifetime in faithful service, became bedridden, and
for several years was confirmed invalid. We often
visited him, and were much impressed by the affec-
tion he felt for the family. At last he died, and
hearing that he was to be buried the following Sun
day we determined to be present at the funeral.
The grave was in pretty grove on the side OF
gently slOpng hill which for years has been devoted
to tho purposes of negro burying ground. Two
pOles extending from one side of the grave to the
other, supported neatly made coffin, on one side OF
which stood the Black relatives and friends OF the
deceased; on the other group nearly large com
posed of the different members of his former masters
family, some of whom had come from n distance in
order to be present at Anderson's funeral.
deep silence over all, broken only by the
suppressed sobs of the White well Colored spec
tatOTs. All being now ready, coored preacher be-
gan the service which consisted of several sentences
read from the Episcopal service for the burial of the
dead, one or two extempore prayers, the singing OF
some hymns, and very good address; The whole
service was singuarly impressive, and we instinc-
lively compared it to a fashionable funeral we at
tended in New-York few months ago. which 1t Tar
exceeded III sOlemnity One interruption occurred,
which / must not neglect to mention: Hardly had
the funeral begun when the quick tread of gallop-
ing horse was heard: the next minute young gen.
tlenan entered the grove and silently took his place
in the group Of White mourners. He was one of the
family who had ridden distance of many miles to
be present at the funeral The altogether was
very impressive, and quite unlike anything ever wit
messed in the North +.
