 OLD AGE By Henry wad.worth Lonafellow
Q [ D A C E
By Henry w.d,worth Lonsssllow

Y Completed Faust when eighty years
 were past
 These are indeed exceptions: but they
 show
 How far the gulf-stream of our youth
 may How Into the arctic regions of our lives, Where httles else than life itself sur Wives. 2 As the barometer foretells the storm While still the skies are clear, the
 weather warm, So something in us. as old age draws
 near,
 Betrays the pressure of tho atmos-
 phere.
 The nimble mercury. ere ws are
 aware.
 De.csnds the elastic ladder of the air; The telltale blood in artery and vein Sinks from it's higher levels in the
 brain:
 Whatever poet, orator. or sage May say of it. old age is still old age. It is the waning. not the crescent
 moon; The dusk Of evening. not the blaze of
 noon.
 IL IS Hot stfeHSpIl, put WedkHeSSs not
 desire,
 But its surcease: not the fierce heat
 of fire,
 The burning and consuming element. But that of ashes and of embers spent, In which some living sparks we still
 discern, Enough to warm. but not enough to
 burn. What then? Shall we cit idly down
 and say The night hath come; 1t is no longer
 day? The night hath not yet come; we are :
 not quite Cut of from labor by the failing light; Something remains for us to do or Even the oldest tree some fruit may :
 bear; Not Oedipus, Coloneus. or Greek Ode, Or tales of pilgrims that one morning
 rode Out of the gateway of the Tabard Inn, : But other something, would we but
 begin; For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another :
 dress, And as the evening twilight fades
 away The sky is filled with stars. invisible
 by day. { :. . .

N.eroes onpose Exodus to North.

Negroes Oppose Exodus TO North.
Leading negroes of the Richmond
section have organized what will be
known as the Southern Negro Anti-Ex-
odus Association, with headquarters at
Hanover Courthouse.
Milton j. Hewlett, Of that place, Is
president. 1t is not political organ
ization, but it is for the purpose OF con-
serving the best interests Of the negro
and keeping him at home. One OF
those in the movement makes this state
ment
"We have been carried about for forty
years by pretentious leaders. whose
stock and trade was nothing more OF
less than the unfortunate condition Of
the brother in dark skin. But few
months ago we were robbed OF thousands
of dollars under the pretense OF hiring
the best talent to go before the Supreme
Court to have the constitution Of the
State set aside, when they knew to the
contrary, that the southern people had
a right'to change and revise a constitu-
ton at will Tor the prosecution OF a gov
eminent best suited to themselves.
Ex-senator Higgins, Of Delaware,
who voted for the passage OF the Force
BILL said, Notwithstanding be was going
to vote for it, yet it was ordained of
God that the great Anglo-Saxon should
rule.
"Now, if this be so, it is not unreal
soDabIe for the negro to ask that that
rulership be predicated upon righteous
ness. We were slaves once in the
northern States. We were not freed
and permitted to remain there, but sold
south of the Mason and Dixon line,
and the purchase money turned into
dry goods. The Rev. Dean Richmond
Babaitt, who ranks with the late DR..
ralmage and Henry Ward Beecher, has
been greatly imposed upon by the parties
who have asked him and Others OF like
standing to stir up bad feelingon the line
Of their proposed exodus.
"These gentlemen of high rank
should not take action upon ex-parte
evidence to the contrary, they should
know all the facts before taking the
stand pro or con. Every negro in the
State Of Virginia who wants TO work

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia

Pneumonia is too dangerous disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor himself,
although be may have the proper reme-
dies athand. A physician should always
be called. 1t should be borne in mind,
however, that pneumonia always results
from a cold or from an attack of the
grip, and by the proper treatment OF
these diseases a threatened attack of
pneumonia may be warded off There
is no question whatever about this, as
during the thirty years and more that
Chamberiain's Cough Remedy has been
used, we have vet to learn of single
case of cold or attack OF the grip hav-
lug resulted in pneumonia when this
remedy was used. 1t is also used by
physicians in the treatment of pneu-
monia with the best results. DR.. w. ].
