GROWING OLD.
As one travels along the road of life
they learn many unpleasant things,
but the most unpleasant one is to dis
cover, some fine day, that you are grow
ing old. Some day you meet with a
friend whom you have not seen for
years, and while you look at him in
astonishment at the change the years
have made tmd decide that he is no
longer young, he grasps your hand
cordially, saying with an accent of pity
in his voice, “Why, old friend, you are
growing old!”
Perhaps some fine June morning,
when all the world is fresh and fair,
and mother nature has donned her
brightest robes, you stand before the
glass, brushing your hair, when you
spy a white thread shining on the
dark surface; a rub with the brush
fails to dislodge it, and you lift your
hand to do so and make the startling
discovery that it has root in your scalp.
It is no thread, but one of the visible
footprints of Time—a veritable gray
hair!
This is a terrible revelation; but
when you sit down in thought profound
you call to mind other things that
should have taught you the lesson ere
this. Once you were as nimble as a
chamois, could climb the hills, and
spring from bank to bank across the
brooks and trudge for miles in the pur
suit of youthful pleasure. Now that
you come to think of it, such things
are a wearisome task. You remember
that, along at intervals, you have been
a martyr to toothache, caused by the
gradual decay of these useful members,
and upon examination you find that
the few left are in a very dilapidated
condition. You also remember that
years ago you gloried in your strength
and freedom from all the ills to which
flesh is heir, but come to think of the
present, you recollect sundry twinges of
pain of different kinds, and also that, for
a long while, you have been subject to a
weakness, for which you have taken
various ‘‘tonics,” and which you flat
tered yourself would, after awhile, wear
off; yet, instead, it has gradually in
creased. Last week you purchased a
pair of spectacles for a fancied weak
ness of the eyes. Was it yesterday!
How time flies! why, it was ten years
ago! Some one says that thirty is the
age of the gods; but you are many
years older than that.
The first gray hair! You turn it over
in your fingers, looking at its whiteness,
and none but yourself and God will ever
know the thoughts that chase each
other through your busy brain ; none
but God and yourself will ever see the
pictures hung on memory’s wall and
which pass in panoramic view before
you. You remember how you started
out in life’s young morning resolved to
achieve great things; other men might
drone through life, but you—why for
you, there was no such word as fail.
You would accomplish all things, only
there was no need for hurry; life was
long, and there was plenty of time. All
along through the bright, hopeful years
you have held the same idea; but now
as you sit looking at the tiny silvery
thread held between your fingers, you
realize that it is now too late to accom
plish anything—the time left is too
short. Last evening you were young
as ever —gallantly lifted your hat, with
all the grace of old, to some fair smiling
lassie met on the promenade, and en
tered heart and soul into the project of
the handsome young fellow who gave
you a seat behind his fiery horse. Now
you come to remember the fact, they
are both the children of your school
and class-mate, who put off round jack
ets at the same time as did yourself.
You have forgotten that it was only
in antedeluvian days that men lived to
be a thousand years old ; that one hun
dred was only a boy’s age, and that at
forty,one was but an infant. You had
forgotten this, but now you realize the
truth —“man’s life is but a span,” and
you are growing old ; in fact, one might
say you are old.
What to you are now the things which
you so prized in early years? What to
you are love songs and sonnets? Once
you delighted in them ; but since you
come to think of it, your opinion is that
they are all stuff and nonsense. What
to you arc rosy cheeks, cherry lips and
brightest eyes? Thinking over the
sentimental phase of your existence,
you wonder if you can be the same in
dividual who took such delight in hang
ing over a gate talking to some lew itch
ing lassie—swearing vows to be broken
as soon as made. You wonder if you
are the idiot who twanged a wheezy
guitar under the same fair one’s window
and made night hideous, singing in a
hoarse voice, “Oft in the stilly night”
and "Come, oh, come with me!” That
was when you were young; but now
you are old, and you shrug your shoul
ders in congratulation that she did not
"come” with you. You saw her last
week and wondered why she looked so
old, and stout, and red-faced. You
thought her a perfect fright. Softly,
my dear friend, she did not feel old,but
thought you looked dreadfully so, and
wondered how she could have “wasted
her time” talking to such a bald-headed
old wretch. She, too, had forgotten that
time had not stood still for her.
There! as you have thought over
these things, you have twisted up the
gray hair and cast it from you; but
you can never cast away, in like man
ner, the truth it has impressed upon
you, and every morning you will peer
The Christian Index and South-western Baptist: Thursday, July 31, 1879.
anxiously into the glass for its mate,
though a dozen cannot shock you as
this one has done.
Alas! you are growing old! The
sunlight of life’s young morning lies far,
far away behind you, and in the shad
ow’s that loom up before you, you feel
and know there is hidden a grave. You
know not whether it lies far or near;
you only realize that it is somewhere.
There is no avoiding it, and it will be
reached all too soon. The road over
which you are yet to march is worse
than that you have already plodded
over, for at certain stages you lose more
and more of health, vigor and hope.
Sad indeed is your lot if, in your earth
ly pilgrimage, you have not laid hold
011 Faith and learned to believe that
earth is but an abiding place and death
but a transition from this to a happier
home, where one remains always young.
Factory Facts.
Close confinement, careful attention to all
factory work, gives the operatives pallid
faces, poor appetite, languid, miserable feel
ings, poor blood, inactive liver, kidneys and
urinary troubles, and all the physicians and
medicine in the world cannot help them
unless they get out doors, or use Hop Bitters,
made of the purest and best remedies, and
especially for such cases, having abundance
of health, sunshine and rosy cheeks in them.
None need suffer if they will use them freely.
They cost but a trifle. See another column
OBITUARIES.
Editor Index : At a regular conference of
the First Baptist Church, of Eufaula, Ala ,
held July 7th, 1879, the following tribute and
resolutions In regard to the decease of thelate
Da. Cullen Battle, were read and unani
mously adopted, and I was instructed to ask
that you would publish them in your valua
ble paper. Bbnj. B. Davis, Church Clerk.
Tribute of Respect.
Our venerable brother, Dr. Cullen Battle, Is
no more. On the morning of the 4th day of
June last, he quietly breathed his last, and
sweetly fell asleep In Jesus, in the 95th year
of his age, he having been born March 11,
1785. The Angel Reaper came, and finding
our brother as a shock of corn fuhy ripe for
the harvest, he softly, quietly gathered him
home Into the garner of the skies. The aged
patriarch hailed the approach of that messen
ger with Joy aud gladness, being ready to de
part and be with Christ. His life-work was
done, his labors of love were completed, and
he was patiently awaiting the summons that
should bld his freed spirit wing its flight to
the realms of glory, there to receive the wel
come plaudit, “Well done, good and faithful
servant, enter thou Into the Joy of thy Lord.”
Brother Cullen Battle was endeared to this
body by ties of love and attachment of no or
dinary degree.
He was an active, efficient member of that
noble band who constituted this Church in
the year 1837—and at no time has his zeal, or
love, or Interest In Its welfare and prosperity
ever abated or grown cold. His holy and ex
emplary life has ever shone as a bright light
in our midst. With heart and hand he has
ever engaged In every good word and work.
His large means, consecrated by the Divine
Spirit, have been cheerfully poured forth with
a liberal hand, for the promotion and ad
vancement of all our enterprises, Christian,
benevolent and patriotic, not only In Ala
bama. but In other States of this Union. In
deed, his whole life, lengthened almost to a
century of years, has been spent In the faith
ful service of the blessed Master.
He was the senior deacon of this church,
and we testify truiy that, “he used the of
fice of a deacon well, and thereby purchased
to himself a good degree, and great boldness
In the faith, which is In Christ Jesus-”
In token of our appreciation of his charac
ter and qualities asa chrlstlauof the highest
type:-
1. Be It Resolved, That we will ever cherish
the memory es our deceased brother with the
most tender emotions of love aud affection;
and we hereby express our profound grati
tude to Almighty God, that one so pure, so
lovely, and so radiant with Christian virtue
has ‘‘lived and moved and had his being”
amongst us; and that in his triumphant
death our own hearts have been comforted
with a renewed assurance of the Divine
power of saving grace.
2. That a copy of these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of this Church, and that
copies be furnishe-l to the Eufaula Timet awl
Newt, Christian Index, and Alabama Baptist,
with the request that they be published. Also,
that a copy be furnished to the family of the
deceased—and that we. heartily extend our
condolence, love and sympathy to the aged
relict of our departed brother.
BRITTAIN—Mrs. Julia A. Brittain, wife of
Deacon Henry L. Brittain, died at their resi
dence In this city, on Saturday the 7th day of
June, at 4 o'clock a m. The deceased was six
ty five years of age, during a little more than
half of which she had lived a devoted and
exemplary follower of Christ, having been
baptized at the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church
(then located some four mllee from this cltyt
In the yflar 1815. Hhe was married in 1842 to
the husband with whom she lived In great
affection until her death. It was three year*
afterwards that she made an open avowal of
the little hope she had cherrlsned for some
time before, and upon which she ever after
maintained a consistent and growing Chris
tian usefulness. Her piety was of the practi
cal rather than of the merely theoretical or
devotional type. To do good by relieving the
necessities of the suffering, and helping the
weak and needy was of more value In her es
teem than the cherishing of mere sentiment.
A Christian Iriend who knew her for yean
and under varying circumstances, speaking
of her since her death, mentioned truthful
ness-stern and Invariable—as among the
most prominent traits of her excellent char
acter—that In all those years of acquaintance
she had never known her to utter a falsehood
or even the semblance of one—no, not even
inJest.
The life of sister Brittain was both beautiful
and efficient In all her relations. A* a mem
ber of the community In which she lived ; as
a memberof the church to which she was at
tached ;as a mother, and as a wife she did
her part in life well and will be greatly miss
ed by those who knew and loved her. Her
death will be sorely felt by them all; but by
none like the husband whom she loved sode
votedlv in health, and whom she nursed so
so tenderly In the affliction by which he has
been confined to the house for many months
past. But we rejoice to teel assured that our
loss Is her gain, and that she isonly gone be
fore to welcome those who shall come alter.

MeELHANEY—Mrs Mary Mildred McElha
ney. wife of Arthur F. McElhaney, died at her
residence near Auburn, Alabama, on the !2th
day of June, 1879, In her twenty-ninth year.
Mrs. McElhaney was the youngest daughter
of Alexander and Catherine Frazer.
In her death, her husband has lost a gentle,
loving and dutiful wife, whose sweet nature
made her home as happy and cheerful as her
devoted husband could wish—her two little
daughter* a fond anu faithful mother whose
example Isa richer legacy than heaps of gold
—her parents a daughter whose life to them
was a ray of golden sunshine In adversity
and prosperity—her brothers and sisters a gen
tle, warm hearted sister, whose love for them
was always sympathetic and fervent. The
baptist Church at Auburn, of which she has
been a member for more than ten years, has
lost a meek and pure-hearted Christian,
whose dally walk Illustrated her many vir
tues—and the community a lovely woman,
wnowe name will not be forgotten iw she was
ever ready with a willing hand and heart to
minister to, and relieve distress and want.
Good-bye dear sister, but not always, for
we ex|Hictto hear thexame welcome of angels
on that shore beyond the river, and with you
enjoy that rest and wear that crown that be
longs to ti e people of God BKOTHSH.
Auburn, Ala., July 4U>, 1879.
YOUNG—Miss Julia Young, daughter of
Rev. John IL Young, was born September,
17th 1865, ami died, near Bairdstown, Ga.,
July 9th 1879.
For a number of years before her death
Julia was the victim of tiie nioetinte. sepuin
and suffering, which she bore with resigna
tion, meekness ami submission, thus evin
cing how Impliclty was the faith she hail in
Him who doeth all things well. She never
was heard to murmur or complain at the
dealings of God with her, thereby manifest
ing the Christian spirit.
During her long illness she received all the
attention and relief that kind loving hearts,
and skillful hands could bestow, but, death
had marked her for his own, and none could
bar his approach or turn him from his pur
pose.
Through her whole life she was a girl of
unusual disposition, ever obedient to her
loving parents, remarkably kind to her
brothers and sisters, aud evinced a sincere
love for all with whom she came in contact,
one of the most loving and gentle disposi
tions ever known. She was a great lover of
the Sabbath-school, and was especially fond
of singing, her last song on earth, but ashort
while before her death, was, “ dont forget to
pray.”
The writer conversed with her on person
al religion, for the first time during a very
severe attack she had last November, just
two months before this, she became totally
blind, from the effect of her disease. (Catar
rhal Opthalima) when she gave unmistaka
ble evidence that, though the sunlight of
earth made no impression upon the natural
eye yet the glorious light of the Sun of
Righteousness bad, and did then shine into
her mind and heart to such a degree as to be
illuminate, and reveal to them, the great
truth that Jesus was a Saviour, and she by
faiths eye had been enabled to see, and with
the heart to trust and claim Him as her Sav
iour, and thereby claim him as the “Chief
among ten thousand and altogether lovely
to her, whereby she was enabled to implici
tly, and wholly, rely upon Him, exclaiming
confidently, ‘‘not my will, but thine oh,
God be done. She expressd a great desire to
buried with him in baptism, a privilege de
nied her in consequence of her bodily’ infir
mity ; but we mourn not as those wiio have
no hope; for we are perfectly satisfied that,
when the summons came, she was ready,
and in the midst of sorrowing and weeping
parents, brothers and sisters, and surround
ed by sympathising friends, Julia sweetly
fell asleep in Jesus.
On the morning of the 10th, after memo
rial exercises, conducted by Rev. W. A, Ov
erton, at the Bairds church house, her re
mains were deposited in the church cemete
ry. It is devoutly hoped and prayed, that
this sad dispensation of Providence, togeth
er with the impressive exercises, may prove,
and be a comfort to the heart siricken pa
rents and children, anti that an impress may
be made upon every heart that may, till in
heaven, and that Julia's true, lovely [touching
and beautiful life, may be au example to all.
Father, mother, brothers, sisters, friends,
rest assured that Julia now’ waits your com
ing to her in glory.
Yes. she now awaits your coming,
As an Angel on the other shore,
Walting to recieve the dear ones,
When the storms of life are o’er.
We shall Join her then triumphant,
Free from sorrow, toll and care,
Every’ tie again united,
And there’l be no parting there.

In Memoriam.
Mrs. Mary B. Hill, who died at the residence
of her daughter. Mrs. James Seymour, in Ma
con, Georgia, was tn her eighty-sixth year.
The acquaintance aud friendship of more
than a quarter of a century warrant the wri
ter in saying a tew words concerning a char
acter which might well serve as an example
for all to follow.
By the death of her husband the care and
responsibility of her family were thrown up
on her at a time when It required great wis
dom to conduct its affairs with success. She
was a woman ol strong mind, and her solici
tude for her family, and that her children
should grow up to be good and useful, knew
no bounds. Her treatment of them was ten
der and cautious, aud not only by precept,
but by purity of example she ever sought to
lead them In the ways of uprightness.
She was brought up under Pedo-baptlst In
fluence. but a prayerful study ofthe scriptures
constrained her to unite with the Baptists
She loyed the Scripture* throughout her long
life, ana It wan her constant Joy to study
them. Their teachings were not lightly es
teemed by her, but were held to be sacred,
and nothing gave her more pain than to know
that they were trilled with by others. She
was a woman of decided opinions, and un
faltering faith, and It was a source of distress
to her that any’ should hold their opinions or
lalth loosely.
I never knew a more conscientious person ;
she scorned fawning and pretense ; she was
kind and thoughtful of the needy and suffer
ing, aud was ever ready to bestow her bene
factions. She delighted in religious inter
course. few were more mature in religious ex
perience; and no one exerted a more whole
some influence in the circle of her acquain
tance. She was revered and affectionate
ly loved by her children, and no one had
warmer or more devoted friends. She was a
ripe sheaf for the garner of the skies, and al
though her friends mourn her loss, they can
not doubt her bliss.
God be praised for such a life, and may he
help the surviving to profit by Its blessed in
fluence, that they may be prepared for tliq
rest upon which she has entered.
■‘And when the Lord shall summon us whom
thou hast left behind,
May we, untainted by the world, as sure a
welcome find:
May each, like thee, depart in peace, to be a
glorious guest,
Where the wicked cease from troubling, and
the weary are at rest-”
