160 OBITUAHIES. Ouachita Cos., Ark., Oct. 1, 1860. Brethren Editors : —By request I send the notice of the death of our beloved and much esteemed friend JOSEPH W. PERRY, Jr., who departed this life March 4,1860, of Pneumonia, at the residence of Dempsy Pace, of Clark Cos., Ala. He was born in Sumpter Cos., Ala., Nov. 28, 1835, and emigrated to Ouachita Cos., Ark., Feb. 1850, where he lived up to a few weeks before lus death. He was beloved by all who knew him, he was an obedient son, and affec tionate brother, he leaves a father, a mother, brothers and sisters, as well as numerous relations and friends to mourn their loss, but we have a hope that our loss is his eternal gain. He was a well wisher in the cause of the Old School Baptists, although he had never joined the church militant, he left the consol ing news a short time before his death, that he would soon be with Jesus, which was far better than all the glory of this world. ELIJAH YARBROUGH. I'm Growing Old. BY J. G. SAXE. My days pass pleasantly away; My nights are blessed with sweetest sleep; I feel no simptoms of decay; I have no cause to mourn nor weep ; > My foes are impotent and shy; My friends are neither false nor cold, And yet of late I often sigh— I'm growing old! My growing talk of olden times, My growing thirst for early news, My growing’apathy to rhymes, My growing love of easy shoes, My growing hate of crowds and noise, My growing fear of taking cold, All whispers in the plainest voice, I’m growing old. I’m growing fonder of my staff; I’m growing dimmer in the eyes; I’m growing fainter in my laugh ; Pm growing deeper in my sighs ; I’m growing careless of my dress ; I’m growing frugal of my gold ; I’m growing wise: I’m growing—yes, I’m growing old 1 I see it in my changing taste: I see it in my changing hair : I see it in my growing waist: I see it in my growing heir; A thousand signs proclaim the truth, As plain as truth was ever told, That even in my vaunted youth, I’m growing old! Ah me! my very laurels breathe The tale in ray reluctant ears, And every boon the hours bequeath But makes me debtor to the years ! E’en Flattery’s honeyed words declare The secret she would fain withhold, And tell me in “ How young you are 1” I’m growing old! SOUTHERN BAPTIST MESSENGER. Thanks for the years ! whose rapid flight My sombre muse too sadly sings ; Thanks for the gleams of golden light That tint the darkness of their wings; The light that beams from out the sky, Those heavenly mansions to unfold, Where all are blessed, and none may sigh, I’m growing old!” Ipaintinmts.
