AUGUSTA, GA.:
Sunday Morning, September 26,1875.
Gray Hairs,
It cannot be! Hold up the light—
Closer—the other way:
Yea, child, your laughing guess was right—
My hair is turning gray.
Among those tresses, iong my pride,
A thread of silvery sheen
Has dared audaciously to hide
Their rippling waves between.
Ah me! when youtn and childhood seem
Scarce to have passed away,
’Tis sad to startle from one’s dream
And find one’s hair is gray.
I know the fire burns in my heart
Or flashes from my eye
As fiercely as it used to start
In days so long gone by.
I know I feel, I love, I hate,
As keenly as of yore;
I had not deemed it was so late—
Chill age stood at the door.
Life’s hours seem more than ever full,
And joy crowns every day,
Yet o’er their current comes a lull—
My hair is turning gray.
You offer comfort, darling—say
The silver lies alone;
Companionless it will not stay
Ere many months have flown.
Gray hairs you think a circlet bright
To crown a regal head;
One used to praise their raven light
In halcyon evenings lied.
But ah! that voice is silent now,
That form is laid away,
The lips are closed that used to vow
Long ere my hair was gray.
Well, let it come—the silver sign—
I live again in tLee;
Thy tresses are as surely mine
And still more fair to see.
For morning’s gold is glinting back,
And morning s purples lie
Along my darling’s sunny track,
Reflected in her eye.
What matter, since her young life grows
More brilliant every day ?
Her mother grieves not, though she knows
Her hair is turning gray.
Ah, well! the clouds have often rifts
Their masses dark between;
As suddenly the topmost lifts
A silver ray is seen.
It may be God draws bick the Clouds
And lets heaven’s glory tiirough
In silver lines across the shrouds
That bar it from my view.
And I can hail his path of light
Which marks my upward way,
And so give thanks because this night
My hair is turning gray.
THE MAN WITH AN IRON JAW.
He Feeds on Live Bull Frogs, Snakes
and Fishes, and Masticates Crock
ery on Occasion.
[Springfield (Mass.) Republican.]
Every New England village has its
notable “character,” distinguished by
individualities more or less odd and
wonderful; but, for purely amazing
powers of mastification, deglutition
and assimilation in a private citizen,
who has never made any public exhibi
tion or special boast of his capabili
ties, Blandford begs leave to take the
palm. Nor is she likely to be disputed
in it. Her champion is John McDarby,
a sixty-live-years-old Irishman of very
pronounced Celtic and stupid appear
ance, having scraggy chin whiskers and
gray hair, who is of medium height
aud marked by a giant development of
chest and body; and this individual
will eat a live snake for you, taking
mouthsful from its head downward,
will hold a bull frog by its leg and
crunch it down, piece by piece, or will
munch smaller game in the way of
bugs, grasshoppers, etc. But the mas
sive strength of his jaws and teeth is
best illustrated when he chews crock
ery, crushing and grinding it to pow
der with his ordinary food, when so
disposed. For sanitary reasons, how
ax er, he wisely refrains from devouring
glass. All of which, and much more,
is solemnly vouched for by responsible
tax-payers of Blandford and vicinity.
A deserter from the English army a-j
Quebec, McDarby first appeared in this
region about forty years ago; and in
his escape, it is said, he ran 64 miles in
24 hours without food—which is credi
ble, perhaps, for he is possessed of an
iron constitution. He made an impres
sion upon the natives at South Hadley
Falls by calling for pie and cheese at
the hotel, or rather in what followed,
when he bit through plate and all. He
lias since worked in Blandford and
vicinity where he has displayed all his
various accomplishments. Just now
lie resides with a sister at Russell, and
helps Johnson Tiffany on his Bland
lorm farm; he has four children living,
to none of whom, fortunately, have de
scended the father’s tastes or strength
of jaw. At Chester, several years ago,
with the utmost nonchalance, he lifted
a barrel of pork by the iron hoop, with
bis teeth; and then, in a wager, put
down three dozen eggs, shells and all.
He won a dollar bet at North Bland
ford, too, by eating a raw two and one
half pound pickerel. And even church
members affirm that he has been known
to chew up—not exactly “three tubs
of ice and then to call for soda-water”
—but an earthen porter bottle. Mc-
Darby served in the war—and now
draws a half pension for a leg wound—
making a very convenient soldier at
times. He was with the mounted in
fantry, and when the exigencies of the
campaign put his horse upon short ra
tions, the obiiging fellow would give his
faithful steed his human fodder and
subsist himself upon animate snakes,
bull-frogs, worms, *rats, etc. Again,
while marching from Mobile to Florida
a black-snake disputed the way, and
the Captain ordered the negroes to cut
clubs and slay the “sarpent”—so the
story runs —when the useful McDarby
seized it, and, amid the astonishment
of the crowd, bit its head off. We are
not surprised, either when McD. tells
us that one of the witnesses of the feat
ran to his commander and demanded to
know “what kind of a snake-eater
they had iu camp !” After a battle Mc-
Darby has been known to slice off a bit
of dead horse and subsist upon it with
apparent relish.
His marvelous strength is only in
his jaws, which are not malformed, ap
parently ; his teeth are good, though
he has lost two, which he knocked out
with a hammer when they showed
signs of decay. In conversation he
will never look at you, and cannot be
drawn out directly to talk about him
self. More than one attempt has been
made to engage him by traveling shows,
but he refuses all such allurements.
He used to be very free to amuse any
private parties by devouring snakes or
frogs, but latterly insists that he is
growing old, and must be paid for ex
hibiting himself. In this connection he
is willing to wager 850 that he “will eat
a tom-cat’s head off before It is done
kicking..’ The man has never been
sick but once in his life, and, though a
hard drinker at times, has never had
any after headaches like common
folks. Though the stories told of him
seem so highly improbable, it certainly
is a fact that well-nigh all are impli
citly believed up Blandford way, where
the people, indeed, have seen much
with their own eyes.
Nice little story. Gay young clerk
goes serenading all by himself, Tootle
toots on his flute. No response. Gets
tired and sits down on front steps.
White pants. Steps newly painted.
Gay young clerk tootle-toots some
more.' Then goes to sleep. Big dog
comes. Gay young clerk starts to run.
Can’t run. Stuck. Frantic efforts to
get up. Dog uncomfortably near, and
getting nearer. Something tears.
Tableau: Gay young clerk making
Harry Bassett’s time down the pike,
dog ditto, patch of white duck on
front steps. Gay young clerk thinks
serenading a humbug. So does young
lady. Do does dog.— Lebanon Herald.
