The dear old time, my Peal,

You are so young; while Time of me
Has made cruel prey;

One grace OF youth away,
The same sweet face, the same sweet smile
The same little finger too
What did you saw ut was perchaDce
Your mother that knew ?
All, yes of course, it mast have been,
And yet the same you seem;

working Under Difficulties.

Charleston Sews and Courier, NOV. 9th.
At the stables of R. Graham & Co., on
Chalmers street., is oolOred man who
has neither feet nor hands. His name is
Frank Powell and his age is "a years.
He says he was born without hands or
feet at Whiteville, North Carolina. HIS
arms terminate at the wrists and his left
leg at the ankle. The right leg extends
below the knee as far as the ankle, bat
the lower portion has been bsnt so that
it ia used as foot. H > says that he has
worked in the field, and claims that he
can work as we'll as any abs bodied man.
At Grsham's stable, where he has been
employed tor over year, he attends 10
the horses, sweeps out the stables and
does all tho work ordinarily performed
by whole man. Yesterday morning he
was introduced to reporter, and in
order to show what he could do, frat
groomed horse and then took broom
aud swept out the stables. He says that
he always shaves himself and has always
worked just as anybody else. The
muscles of his arms at the wrists seem
to be peculiarly we'll developed, enabling
him to use the s;umps for all the purposes
for which hands are are generally used
In answer to question he said that he
had been offered d considerable sum by q
circus company to attach himself to the
show, bat that he preferred to earn his
living like other men, by working for it,
