A Coon WoMAN.-A good woman
never grows old Years may 60 over her
head but if henevolence and virtue dwell
in her heart. she is as cheerful rs when the
spring of life first opened 10 her view.
When we look upon good woman we
never think Of her age-she lonks as
charming as when the first rose of youth
bloomed upon her cheek That rose has
not faded In her neighhorhool she il
the friend and 5cnefactor. in the church
The d"vout worshipper and exemplary
Christian. Who does not love and aspect
the woman who has pissed her days in
acis of kindness and mercy-who has been
the friend of man and God-whose whole
life has been scene of Kindness and love
and religion? We repeat. such woman
cannot grow Old. She will always be
fresh and buoyant in spirits, and active in
humble deeds Of mercy and benevolence.
If a young lady desires to retain the
hloom and beauty Of youth, let her not
yield 10 the swar Of fashion and folly; let
her love truth and virtue. and to the close
Of life she will Ielain those feelings which
now make life appear u garden Of sweets
ever fresh and ever new.

according to age and experience-lhe old

exceptions as 10 each class, it must be ad-
mitted that the old are too promo 10 con-
linuc old ways and methods, and the
young are too ready 10 disapprove the old
and risk their interests on what is COM

is learned; but 10 he sure, while clinging,

allow impure blood, weakness of the kidneys,
imperfect digestion, and urinary troubles to un.

relief among mineral poisons in pill form, ETC.
