m*mm*m*mmm .--o-? . ?fly Old Wonna ami I. We have crossed the bridge o'er tho middle of life, My old woman sad I, Takingonr share ic th? calm ned the strife, With the travelers passing by, And though on our pathway the shadows are rife, There's alight in the Western sky. Some losses and crosses of course we'vo had, My old woman and I; But, bless you! we never found time to bo sad, And a very good reason why; We were busy as bees, nod we wer n't so mad, As to stop in our work to cry. On our changeable road, as wo journeyed along, My old woman and I, he kindly companions we met in tho throng Made our lives like a vision fly; And, therefore, the few thnt imagined us wrong Scarcely cost us a single sigh. The weak and the weary we've striven to oboev, My old woman and I; For we each of us thought that our duty, while hero, Was to do as wo'd be dono by, In the hope to exhibit a balance clear When the reckoning day is nigh. -o TUE BIOGRAPHY OF A SHILLING. BY S. B. "Alice bore up bravely for two years; at the end of that time ber father's health be? gan to fail, and before another anniversary of that bitter parting, ho was laid in tho village churchyard. Sweet girl, she wus all alone now; and sho used to take me, ot a part of me, from her bosom, where 1 hung suspended by a ribbon, and with many tears and kisses wonder when the adventure! would return. Even my hurd hcuit o ft ci: melted at sight of her grief. One day, how ever, in the midst of ber sorrow, n straogei arrived in tho village coach, and soon pro eented himself nt the cottago door. Will: ono cry, Alice lay fainting in his arms. "It was indeed Robert returned-not with great riches, but with tales of a sweei little forest home, bright with tho sunshine .nd redolent of flowers, only waiting tin blessing of a fair presence to make it at earthly paradise. "At an early day tho village bells rani out their merry chimes, and when Alice lef ' the church, she wore ou her Blender finge a ring that only a wife may wear. "Robert had me joined to my old friend if I may so call my other half, and we, i happy party, left for the new world. "The good ship Severn held bravely 01 her way, her snowy sails filled with aus pioious gales, until the hoped for haven wa almost in sight; then a terrible storm arose and the long rolling waves soon carried he out of her course. "For two dreadful days and nights sh was tossed about at the mercy of the storm; waters, her very timbers groaning like thing of life in mortal agony. In tho ves eel, fear and consternation sat on ever face; passengers, who had never befor been on the broad aud treacherous boson of the mighty ocean, and sailors, who hm never known any other cradle or lullub than the rolling and roar of its billows, wer alike powerless and terror-stricken, as thu saw death hovering, with outspread wind? over that wild waato of seething waters. "On the third night, tho ship was drive on the breakers off tho const of Georgia and all night long tho minute guns boome out over that boiling whirlpool of destt u( tion, with no ear to hear, and no hand t succor, save His, whoso ear is ever open t the cry of distress, and who holds th storms in the hollow of His hand. Just e the grey dawn looked forth from the mist East, the Severn went to pieces on th Tocks, and every soul on board was launche ont on tho bosom of that mightier sea, tb eternity of Jehovah. "That same morning, when tho sun ha climbed high up in the blue heavens, un was looking serenely down on tho wrcol strewn shore, old Tom, a lineal desceudui of Africa's dusky royalty, was engaged i collecting the spars and beams of drif wood that the receding tide had lett on ti: i wide, low coast. Something that the bk waters, in their turbulent play, turne whitely to the snn at last caught Iiis ey and approaching cautiously, he saw-whal A woman's form, lying just within tho u most touoh of old ocean's deadly clasp; tl golden bair drifting out in the waving st weed, the rigid features, beautiful in the white purity, and the brcwu eyes, seule with the awful signet of death, turne straight upward to where the angels cl always behold the unveiled face of tho Got head. "With distended eyes and awe-strtu face, old Tom slowly returned to his ca hil and calling to his assistance somo of h fellow-slaves, dug a lowly grave; in it tin reverently laid the beautiful, unconscio form, where it shall lie, with tb? billot forever singing their sublime tnouotoi above it, until the archangels trump sh: olea ve the sea and land, and tho voice tho Saviour shall again say to tho dea .Como forth 1' "Old Tom claimed me from the whi bosom, and a plain gold ring from the sie der finger, aa his perquisites. Had any o been there to whom letters were not a rai tery, be might have read a mournful lege" in the bimplo words engraved in that lit circlet of gold: " 'Robert to Alice.' CHAPTER IEL "Again I was consigned to the silence an old chest; for though old Tom's avar: was too great to allow mo to reposo in t quiet gravo of roy sweet young mistress, ; he was too thoroughly superstitious ever io touch 'dem tings dat 'longed to de ded buckra ooman.' Bo thus I lay until he was gathered to his fathers, and his son reigned (in ths cabin) in his stead. "After puasiug through many ad ven tores in the pu rob ??o of tobacco and other essen? tials of negro existence, I finally fell into the sable hands of Maum Dinah. I lind passed slyly into that receptacle one night, when young Master Edward came home rather late, and in a state of considerable uncertainty on all points but one, which was that no ono but Dinah must open the door for him. "About this time, tho bloody civil war of 18G1 broke out, nnd Dinah hearing tho white people talking about tho scarcity of specie, laid mo awuy, in the confident ex? pectation of never seeing another pieco of silver again whilo sho lived. "Ono night, when tho moon was riding, high and bright, in her broud, bluo path? way, tho anxious fuco of old Dinah wus secu peering into my gloomy abode. " 'Yes; dar yon,' she said, taking me up. *I wonder how long I'so gwino ter keep you. Dey say Sherman's cumin' fur true, an' I spec ho'uus gwino tor tako ebury cent dis nigger's got. May be him kill ole Di? nah, too. Good Lord! Wbnt times we'uns is fell onto. Dar's ole massa and missus dun sent off ebery blessed ting, an* now doy's dun tuck au' gone, too. an' lef olo Dinah ter scratch fur sheself; but do good Massa 'bovo will seo ber tru, I reckiu. Dor ain't no 'pendeuceter be putin do buckra jis look at olo massa au' missus!' "Thus soliloquizing, Dinah continued to gather up her simple valuables. " 'I tell yer, mou, 'Kiah mus' ludo dose tings; Dcm Yankees can't git nm no how. 'Kiah!' raising her voice to bo beard by her husband, who was dozing over tho nahes, ' 'Kiah, yer go rite off au' dig er bolo ter put deso tings in. Dey say dcm cussed Yankees don't lef iiuflio beb i no nm what doy's bin; au'what's wo'uns gwino tor do when dey done?' " 'Go wid HID,' said 'Kiah, sententiously. 'Freed il m niity good fur ole bones.* " 'Hush, nigger, yon'so a foo),' retorted Dinah. 'Yer tink I'mo gwino ter run In do swamps niter dcm low-down Yankees when I'sc always bin usen ter rich buckra' You kin go cf yer wants ter, an' die wit rumatiz 'foro yer gits ober inter Carliny nobody kcers-I don't, 1 kin git n nnddci man.' "Whether it was the threat about 'a mid der man,' or some lingering fears of rhen mutism operating on 'Kiah's miud, In quietly acquiesced in Dinah's views. Sooi the bolo was du?, uud tho box containinj mo and other little trinkets deposito therein, Dinah muttering many pious ejaeu lati?os ns she let us down, hoping, will every other breath, that tho 'Good Mass 'bovo will seo mo tru.' Tho bolo wa covered, straw scattered over tho surface tho hen-coop set upon it, and then Dina1 was ready for tho Yankees. Sho did no havo to wait long, for with tho first rays c tho morning, struggling squads of soldier! in bluo uniforms, wero seen entering th plantation from different quarters, nu gathering thick and fast, they swarmed int the negro cabins, as well as into tho mor pretentious house of tho planter. "Dinah sat, a grim sentinel, in her cabi door, and one after another passed her bj until a brawny sou of tho West, confron ing her, asked: " 'I say, old woman, what havo you g< in there?' " 'Nufllu fer you,' sho auswercd, shortb "But he was not to bo put aside in lin way, and taking her by tho sbonldei twirled her lightly out of his way und ci tered her cabin. This was the signal f< others to rush in, and soou sho saw ever; thing she possessed either destroyed ? stirred up into ono mass of inextricab confusion. Words failed tho poor old w man, and sho sat on her d^or-step, with hi hands locked over her knees, rocking to ar fro, nnd uttering now and then the most 1 mentablo gronns. "At last tho main army was gone, ai even tho stragglers ceased to go by. Dina in a perfect fever of fear for tho safety her buried treasures, for the yard had be< honey-combed by tho persevering Yuuke in their search after hidden valuable called to 'Kiah to get his spado and seo 'dem deb?is' had left anything at all. "'Kiah, whose notions of following the to freedom bad been entirely revolutio izod, obeyed with alacrity, aud soon tl quick, steady strokes reached down to t " 'Whar dey?' asked Diuah, poerii down iuto tho hole. " 'Dar he,' said 'Kiah, striking his spa on the box. " 'What a blessed ting dem debits nell fino um,' said Dinah, thankfully. " 'That's so, aunty,' broko in a roti| voice, and looking around, sho wus startled and discoucerted to see two sold ie: who had lagged far behind their commas standing by ber side that, utterly bolple: she staggered aud fell into tho bolo 'Kia1 spado bad just opened. " 'Come, old lady, thut won't do; get ( of that,' said one of tho soldiers, catch i her by tho arm and rudely jerking her i 'We'll trouble you for that littlo keepsfl down there. Lift it out; old fellow,' I 'Kiah. 'Hero, Bill,' to his comrade, 1< I open and divide;' which was soon done. I with some other little articles, going ii Bill's pockets, which wore rodolcntof gre and tobacco. As l.r Dinah, when I daughters of Zion hung their harps on I willows, and sat down and wept, they no looked half so woo-begone ?IR sho. 'I only words that escaped her wero: ' !F< God, I tought do good Masaii 'buv?* woi see roo tra. God hud forsaken ber; v; was tho help of 'Kiah or 'a nndder man. never uaw ber again, for Bill And his cc I mn i on set off at a do ubi o quick to ca the army boforo its next holt. "? stuck to Bill through all his hnrdshi until wo reached the bluo hills of Lexi ton and looked over into tbo beautiful city of Columbia. Up and down we mancouvered above the river's bank, with the sunshine lying like n blessing, on the city just over tl io otherside. "Every now and then, we sent a dark Messenger hurtling through the golden glow to tell to that doomed ci ty thnt i t was no holiday visitor that stood knocking for admittance. When Bill would take out bis tobacco box, (for there was where he kept me,) I would look over to the spires, point? ing heavenward, and wonder, if the prayers that ascended like iucenso around them, could prevail on high, to avert the destruc? tion that our cummauder had decreed against tho place. "Our commander was a wonderful man. I think I seo bim now-a rather tali, rather slim m in, with reddish huir aud a sinister eye. I remember the insolent sneer on his forbidding countenance, as ho said to bis second in cotnmnnd, 'Just here, wo will break tho back-bone of the rebellion.' Yet sitting serenely by tho city otliciuls, as he rode smilingly down tho principal street, and told of promises of protection, no one could divine what was pussing through that busy bruin. "I and Bill were in tho pioneer squad, who routed the little handful of rebels that feebly resisted our passage across tho river. With music playing and banners flying, wo paraded tho streets of Carolina's conquered Capital. I had never seen a fairer city. The angel of penco that had brooded over her from her iufaucy had showered beauty aud bloom nil around. In tho plenitude of her riches nnd pleasures, she waa ns 'a city set on n hill.' Thus, wo first saw her, with the bright river laving her white feet, and her golden hair floating in the sunlight. " 'But, ah! wc saw another sight, When tho drums beat at dead of night, Commanding tires of death to light Tho darkness of her scenery!' "Ah! how can I describo that night of terror? First, a little Heck of light, bert! and there, that soon shot up into broad, red flames. One! Two! Three! Four! How f ist the fires break forth! They reach out their long arms and tako house after bouse, into their burning embrace. For almost a mile, a wall of living lire, towering skyward, sent up ita Haming breath into ?bo lurid clouds of smoke, that hung redly above. "Tho terror-stricken, insulted, homeless, helpless people; thc screams of women; tho cries of children; the inuto despair of white haired men; tbo howl* of agouy from tor? tured animals, left to perish in tho flames; thc frenzied flight of flocks of pigeons, ris? ing and circling above their burning cotes, high in thc hot aud stifling nir; thc lawless and insulting soldiery, intoxicated with liquor and vengeance; all went to make up a picture that never bad its counterpart out sido of Pandemonium. " 4 'Tis morn, but scarco yon lurid sun, Can pierce tho war-clouds, rolling dun;' For, they bung heavily over the ruined city and veiled tho fuco of tho sky, and many despairing ones, with no shelter from the wintry blast, doubted whether Ood's ej'o conld look through thia dark pull, that wicked men had rolled up into tho face of their Maker. TO nR CONTINUED. AYER S CHERRY PECTORAL. For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs, such as Coughs, Colds, Whoojdug Cough, Bron? chitis, As'lima and Consumption. PROBABLY never before in the whole history of medicine, has anything won so widely and HO deeply upon tho confidence of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long sei ira of years, and among most of the races of men, it has risen higher and higher in their estimation, aa it has become better known. ItH uniform character and power to cure tho vari? ous affections of the lungs and throat, havo made it known as a reliable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at the same time tl.o most effectual remedy that can bo given for incipient consumption, and the dangerous affections ot tho throat and lungs. As a provision against sudden attacks of GltOUP, it should be kept ou hand in cvory family; ami, indeed, as all are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all should bo provided with this antidote for them. Although settled CONSUMPTION is I bought incurable, still great numbers of cuses where tho diseaso teemed settled have been completely cured, and the patient restored to sound health by tho CHEEKY PECTORAL. ?So complete is its mastery over tho disorders of tho lungs and throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing elso could reach them, under tho CHERRY PECTORAL they subside and disappear. SINGERS and PU1JL1C SPEAKEKS find great protection from it. ASTHMA is always relieved and often wholly cured bv it. BUO?CHITIS is generally curad by taking thc CHEEKY PECTORAL in small and frequent dotes. Ho generally aro its virtues known that wo need not puldiah tho certificates of them here, or do moro than assure tho public that its qualities aro fully maiutai; AYER'S AGUE CURE. For Ftctr and Ague. Intermittent Fever. Chill Firer. Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Fvrindicid or llilwus Feccr, A.c., and indeed ail thc affections which arise from malarious, marsh, or miasma? tic poisons. As its namo implies, it does Curr, and does not fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bis? muth, /.inc, nor any other mineral or poisenous substance whatever, it in nowise injures uny pa? tient. The number and minnitanco of its cures in the ague di tricts. are literally be J Olid account, and we behove without a paralh I in tbo history of Aguo medicine. Our pride is gratified by tho acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures effected ill obstinate eases, and where other reme? dies had wholly failed. Unucoi ?mated persons, either resident in, or I raveling thiougn miasmatic lncslitios, will be I piotected bv taking the AOUK CURE dailv. For LIVER COMPLAINTS, arising from tor? pidity of tb? Liver, it is an oxcollent rcnudy, stimulating the Liver into healthy activity. For Hiltons Disorders and Liver Complaints, it is an excellent remedy, producing many truly re? markable cures where other medicinen bad failed. Prepared by Du. J. C.
