Joy's pleasant smile, and sorrow's sigh, A hundred years to como ? "Wo all within our graves shall sleep, A hundred years to come ! No living soul for us will weep A hundred years to come." Tho above Hues were suggested on tho beginning of tho Now Year and new century, nnd tho sad thought that many who aro to-day purling and blow ing their most intenso energy, will not II hundred years to come, bo even as a "dream that is told." Many who would remember the dream, will them selves bo in that dreamless sleep a hun dred years to come. Tho rocka had their foundation when tho grout deep throbbed its anguish in the birth of new worlds, and tho soul of niau had its foundation when the heavens wero meted out with a span; but tho frail body, that web of dust given three score years and ten for its wear and tear, and if ?ls owner have vitality to wear it "fourscore his strength is labor and sorrow," how much impoverished, then, that strength, and decayed tho garment with the wear of a hundred years! The dam being construe Led hero, massive in quality, deep in foundation, it may in tho mood of a storm or hur ricane be as trilling ns a pebble in tho hand of a child-a hundred years from now. Wo do not Uko to dwell upon mut.. bility. Wo like to view ourselves ns immortal, our bodies enduring, and our works that aro noblo as surviving tho decree of centuries. Perhaps this is why nt tho beginning and close of each* year, wo drape the harsh face of Destiny with tho veil of merriment, feasting, marrying and giving in mar riage; and the great Keeper of the Privy .Seal permits us tho illusion ns a parent would permit play to a child, knowing that through it all runs reali ty, tho one eternal purpose of tho uni verse. Wo can cheerfully Bing: "Wo know nut where His islands lift Their fronded palms in air, Wo only know wo cannot drift Beyond his love and care." Tho Greenville Nows chronicles tho year* of a man-ono Hansom Philips living near Fork Shoals, IIB running in to three centuries-tho latter part of tho lHt h, all of tho 10th, and to dato in tho 20th, is "activo and energetic." A'* amateur photographer in this placo told the correspondent of tho INTELLI GENCE!* that a little over two years ago ho mndo a photograph of Mr. Phil ips; tho venerable gentleman was then 105 years old, oinking a small discrep ancy in tho account afforded by tho Nows, which states the age as 112.

Ho also participated in tho battle of Harper's Ferry, when, on 10th of Soptomber, Stonewall Jackson made his famous capture of 10,000 pris oners. Ho recalls tho visit to his home at that time, close to Harper's Ferry, where he found his mother aud sisters huddled together in the usual conster nation of those times. Another notable mason relates how ho was employed at tho building of the docks nt Belfast, Ireland, and London, England, and how in constructing on extensive pier out in the ocean the men went down in diving bells to lay the foundation.

On returning to it Saturday morning ho found the frontdoor unlocked and bars down and about thirty dollars worth of goods gone. The supposition i? that tho thief concealed himself in the store beforo it was closed, ns there was no evidence of force being used to open the door, which had been secured by bars on the inside. No clew has been found as to who the thieves were. Thor.?, must have been more than one, as ono alone could not have carried off the amount that was stolen. Mr. Browne offers a liberal reward for evi dence sufficient tu convict the thief or thieves. INCOGNITA. Boleman Items. The holidays passed off very quietly.
