. THE OLD MAN'S BRIDE.
| BY MRS. L. L. DEMIXG.
Of what are you thinking to-night, Athlena ?
Of what are you thinking to-night ? ’
My hair is white, I know I am old, it
Yet, have I notjewels, have 1 not gold
For you, my beautiful queen,
Athlene ! ,
For what are you sighing, to-night, Athlene o
For what are you sighing to night ?
A queen herself might be pleased to come
To dwell in such a magnificont home
As this I have given to thee,
Athlene !
W!‘? turn from my proffered caress, Athlene ?
by turn from my proffered caress ?
You cannet expect a palsied old man
Could th and caress as younger men can ;
Yet I love you, my beautiful queen,
Athlene !
I remember when you were a child, Athine—
Years ago, when you were a child=
You said if Heaven should spare my life,
Some day you would be my beantiful wife,
I was younger, I know, Athlene,
Yet I never forget, my queen. ,
This morning they gave you to me, Athlenc,
This morning they gave you to me;
Though the fervor and strength of my life is
gone,
I wili love you forever. my beautiful one,
And nothing shall part us,
Athlene.
You are strangely quiet, Athlenc.
Have you no word for me?
Come nearer, my love, to the old man’s side,
Let him gaze on the face of his lovely bride,
Athlene.
Now give me your hand, my wife,
White as the fallen snow,
And cold as the ice on the frozen stream,
My God, do I wake from a life-long dream !
You never have loved me,
Athblene !
Oh, is it for this I have lived,
Breaking your heart at last,
Chilling your life with sorrow and tears;
Killing a love I have cherished for years ;
Forgive me, forgive me,
Athlene.
It will not be long, Athlenc,
For the sands of my life run low ;
Only the fall of a withered ok, “
Only a sigh from a heart, that broke— '
The end, Athlene,
Of a weary dream.
A leaf from the shore of Time,
A wave from the sea of life;
Only, Athlene, my name to bear;
Only a widow’s garb to wear—
I shall never be old up there,
Athlene.
There you will love me, my wife.

Softly, silently into the room
Shadows are creeping, Athleuc
The care and sorrow of life are o'er,
An Angel waitg at the open door:
The old man sleeps; he will gaze no more
On your beautiful face,
Athlene.

GENERAL WASHINGTON’S NEGRO |
BODY-SERVANT. ‘
The stirring part of thiz celebrated colored
maun’s life properiy began with his death—
that is to say, the notable features of his
biography begin with the first time he died.
He%acfbeen little heard of up to that time,
but since then we have never ceased to hear
of him ; we have never ceased to hear of him
at stated, unfailing intervals. His was a
most remarkable caieer, and I bave thought'
that its history would make a valuable addi
tion to our biographical literature. There
fore, I have caretully collated the matc-riulr
forsuch a work, from authentic sources, and
anrh‘li'e’re present them to the public. Ihave |
rigidly excluded from these pages (-vcry-‘
thing of a doubtful character, with the ob
ject in view of introducing my work inte the
schools for the instruction of the youth of my
country.
The name of the famous body-servant of
General Washington was George. After
gerving his illustrious master faithfully for
half a century, and enjoying throughout this
long term his high regard and confidence,
it- became his sorrowful duty at last, to lay
that beloved master to rest in his peaceful
grave by the Potomac. Ten years after
wards—in 1809—full of yeara and honors,
he died himself, monrned by all who knew
him. The Boston ** Gazette” of that date
thus refers to the cvent:
George, the favorite body-servant of this
laraented Washington, died in Richmond,
Va., last Tuesday, at the ripe age of 95
gears. His intellect was nnimpaired, and
is memory tenacious, up to within a few
minutes of his decease. e was present at
the second installation of Washington as
President, and also at his funcral, and dis
tinctly remembered all he prominent in
cidents connected with those noted events.
From this period we hear no more of the
favorite body-servant of General Washing -
ton until May, 1825, at which time he died
again. A Philadelphia paper thus speaks
of the sad occurrence :
At Macon Ga., last week, a colored man
named George, who was the favorite body
servant of General Washington, died, at the
advanced age of 95 years. Up to within a
few hours of his dissolution he was in full
possession of all his faculties, nd could dis
tinetly recollect the second iunstallation of
Washington. his death apd Dburial, the
gurrender of Cornwallis, the battle of Tren
ton, the griefs and hardships of Valley
Forge, vte. Deceased was followed to the
grave by the entire population of Macou.
On the Fourth of July, 1830, and also of
1834 and 1836, the subject of this sketch
was exhibited in great state upon the ros
trum by the orator of the day,and in Novem
ber of 1840, he died again.
The St. Lounis “*Republican”’ of the 25th
of that month spoke as follows :
ANOTHER RELIC or THE REVOLUTION
GoxE.—George, once the favorite body-ser
vam of General Washington, died yester
day at the house of Mr. John Leavenworth,
in this ciiy, at the venerable age of 95 years.
He was in the full possersion of his faculties
up to the hour of his death, and distinetly
reco lected the first and sccond installations
and death of President Washington, the
surrender of Cornwallis, the battles of
Trenton and Monmouth, the sufferings of
the patriot army at Valley Forge, the pro
clamation of the Declaration of Indepen
dence, the speech of Patrick Henry in the
Virginia House of Delegates, and many
other old time reminiscences of stirring in
terest. Few white men die lamented as
wae this aged negro. The funeral was vary
largely attended.
¥4 I?nrins the next ten or eleven years the
“biae“ of this sketch appeared at iutervals
at Fourth of July celebrations in various
parts of the country, and was exhibited
upon the rostram with flattering success.
But in the fall of 1855 he died agamn. The
California papers thus speak of the ovent :
AxorHER OLp HeEro GoNe.—Died, at
Dutch Flat, on the 7th of March, George
(ouce the confidential body-servant of Gene
ral Washington), at the great age of 95
years. His memory, which did net fail him
till the last, was a wonderful storehouse ot
interesting reminiscences. He could dis
tinctly recollect the first andsecond installa
tions and death of President Washington,
the surrender of Cornwallis, the battfes of
Trenton and Monmouth, and Bunker Hill,
:it_w proclamation of the Declaration of In
epead?ee, and Braddock's Defeat.—
Geo'r. wasgreatly respeoted in Dutch Flat,
‘and jt is esfi@}% @j t)?q was 10,000
'»j)eé le ‘{»resont at his funeral. b
‘ *‘lgnr ast time the ‘s_,uv}uect of this sketch
‘died, was'in June, 1864; and until we learn
‘the contrary, it is gust_to presume that he
’ died permanently this time. The Michigan
‘papers this‘refer to the sorrowful event:
- AxorTHER CHERISHED REMSANT OF THE
RevoLutioN Goye.—George, a colored man
‘and once the favorite body-servant of Gene
‘ral Washington, died in Detroit. last week
at the patrfiarcbalhge of 95 years. To the
‘moment of Hiz death his intellect was we
clouded, and ha could distinetly remember
the first and second installations and death
_of Washington, thesurrender of Cornwallig,
‘the battles of Trenton and Monmouth, and
Bunker Hill, the proclamation of the De
‘claration of Independence, Braddock’s De
feat, the throwing over of the tea in Boston
‘harbor, and the landing of the Pilgrims.
i He died greatly respectc?l, and was followed
to the grave by a_vast concourse of people.
The faithfu{ old servant is gone! We
shall never see him more, until he turns up
‘again. He has closed his long and splendid
career of dissolution, for the present, and
sleeps peacefully, as onl}’ they sleep who
have earned their rest. He was in all res
pects a remarkable man. He held his age
better than any celebrity that has figured in
history ; and the longer he lived the stronger
and longer his memory grew. If he‘lives
to die again, he will distinctly recollect the
discovery of Ameriea. .
The above resume of his biography“l be
lieve to be substantially correct, although
it is possible that he may have died once or
twice in obscure places where the event
faited of newspaper notoriety. One fault I
find in all notices of his death which I have
quoted, and this ought to be corrected. In
them he uniformly and Impartially died at
the age of 95. This could not have been.
He might have done that once, or may be
twice, but. he could not have continucd it
indefinitely,, Allowing that when he first
died, he died at the age'of 95, he was 151
years old when he died last, in 1864. DBut
his age did not keep pace with his recollec
tions. When he died the last time he dis
tinetly remembered the landing of the Pil
grims, which took place in 1620. He must
have becn about twenty years old when he
witnesged that even ; wherefore it ig safe to
assert that the body-servant of General
Washington was in the neighborhoed of two
hundred and sixty or seventy years old when
he departed this life finally.
Having waited proper length of time, to
see if the subject of this sketch had gone
from us reliably and irrevocably, I now
publish his biography with confidence, and
respectfully offer it to 2 mourning nation.
MARx TwaAix.
P. S.—l see by the papers that this in
famous old fraud has just died again, in
Arkansas, This makes six times that he
is known to have died, and always in a new
place. The death of Washington’s body
servant has ceased to be a ncvelty Ite
charm 18 gone ; the people are tired of it;
let it cease. This well-meaning, but mis
guided negro, has now putlsix different com
mumities to the expense of butymng him in
state, and has swindled tens of thousands
of people into following him to the grave
under the delusion thar a select and peculiar
dsistincetion was being conferred upon them.
Let him stay buried for good now ; and let
that newspaper sgfi”er the scverest censure
that shall ever, in all futare time, publish to
the world that General Washington's fa
vorite colored Liedy-gervant has died again.

Post Orris, CoNrEDRIT X Roabs,)
(wich is in the Stait uv Kentucky) >
January 25, 1868.} !
Wun by wun we go! Wun by wun the
tall oaks whick hev stood, onmoved, the
blasts uv time, totter and fali! We view their
prostrate forms a second, mcthinks, they
sink into the earth and are lost to site, tho’
to memory dear, forever. Then around the
old stump the young sprouts grow up more
vigorouser than ever.
I ain’t singin these moral reflecshuns for
nothin. 1 never waste the pathetics. When
ever a man is pulled drowndid from the
creelkk in this vicinity, wich happens fre
kently, there being three distilleries onto it,
1 never weep until I see whether be belongs
to my congregashun. It requires too much
uv an effort to weep to do it on all okka
shuns. :
Elder Abslum Pennibacker, to-wunst the
strength and the ornament uv the meetin
house uv wich I hev bin for two years a
pastor, departed this life at 2 p. m. this
afternoon. For him I weep; for him the
tears is flowin over the paper onto wich these
lines is penned. T am writin em in the
presence uv the wife and children uv the
deceest, and it does em good to see me
affectid. When one kin confer satisfaction
at so little trouble ez to earry an oniouin his
pocket handkerchicf, he would be a broot,
indeed, ef he did not prove hissell ckel to
the occasion.
Elder Pennibacker wuz born in the eastern
part uv Pennsylvany uv real old Democratic
stock. He wuz born amid the scenes uv the
war uv londependence, and Le growed up
with: Revoleosienary memries iuspirin him,
His father fought in the Hevolooshen, havin
come all the way deross the Atlautie to do
it. He wuz a Hessian, and therefore wuznt
penshuncd by the Amerikin Government.
But at their Fourth of Jooiy ceiebrashens
the old mun wnz inviied to sit on the stand,
the yomanry uv that secshun not krowin
that it made any difference ez to the side Le
took in the struggle. :
Youug Abslum growd up amid exslent
inflooences. There wuznut no skools in the
visinity in WNis ivfincy, and jist ez he mite
have been coutaminated by em, his father
moved to Kentacky, where he was safe from
all sich. The old gentleman dyin, Abslum
ivherited the paternal akers and paternal
piggers, and becanre a man among men.
The genius uv the man now began to de
velop. Untrammeled by the narrer views
uv his paternal ancestor, be boldly launcht
out for himself. He early distinguished
hisself by his inventive genius, wich took
the real Kentucky shoot. Twas him wich
conceived the idea uv. braidin small wire
into the lashes of nigger whips; and not
satisfied with that, he, after a menth’s hard
study, brought out the improvement in the
nigger paddle uv boring holes into it. He
hed a desprit struggle to git it adoptid. The
blind planters uv the neighborhood hed
fathe in the old paddle, plain, and the
Elder wuz forst to demonstate, by actooal
experiment on his niggors its sooperiority.
He killed two in doing it, but be triumphed.
It wuz found that more chastisement cood
be inflicted with it in a given time than by
the old method, and that it lasted longer.
I need not sg wat his politics wnz. He
was never n6thin but @ Dimocrat. He
commenst his career votin three times for
Jackson, and the candidates wich follered
in succession hed no cause to complain uy
bis zeel. Under Bookanan his faithfulnis
wuz rewardid. The post oflis wich I now
hold wuz given him, and he discharged the
dooties faithfully and to the best uv his
ability. Ez he coodeut read he put wat
letters wich arriv out inte a box outside,
lestin every oune come take one ef thev
wantid to. The paper wich come to the
offis for Deekin Pogram he learned to ‘fia '
tribbit in too weeks. The out-goin mail
he dumped inte a Looisville bag, feelin a
great load wuz off his mind when it de
gartid. * He held the offis till they wantid
im to make out a finarterly report. He
wuz nonplussed. e either hed to buy a
nigger who cood read and write, or resign,
and he resigned. A half-starved Yankee
wus appointid in lis stead, who reigned till
I veleeved him.
The Elder wuz the happy possessor uv
three hundred niggers. 'lPhey wuz probably
the best ot of niggers, ez they run, in North
western Kentacky. He had three shades uv
color. The trader cood find anything in the
line uv nigger, up to these three, that he
wantid, on his plantashen. Ther wuz the
pfire congo,:the agil mulatto,and the comely
quadroon. Ther wuz no higher mix than
the quadroon, for it will be remembered
the family hevn't bin slave-owners but three
generashens. : They hed accomplished a
gread deal, however, for the time they hed em.
The Elder hed bin in failin health ever
since 1862. In:that year he embarkt into a
speculashun wich bid fair to make him wun
uv the wealthiest men in the State, and
wood, hed thingz bin continyood normal.
Their wuz niggers runnin to the Federal
camps from all parts uv the State, and the
Elder conceived au: idea uv goin to the said
camps and claimin av em. The officer in
command wuz so anxious to consiliate em,
that he wood gladly give em up, without
bein pertikler about proofs, and the Eider
gathered, in that way, in two months, over a
hundred. '
It required a good deel of ridin, and that
fatigue combined with the exposure inci
dent to bushwhackin Fedral pickets, wich
waz guardin his fences and sich, brought
on a spell uv sickness from which he never
fully recovered. The Emancipashen Proc
lamashen nearly finisht him, and he ling
ered along, a broken man oniil Johnson’s
22d uv Febroory spoech, which acted ez a
tonic onto him. He revived, but the effect
wnz temporary. Ez the Conservatives made
headway, he came up, and ez Congris tri
umphed, he went down, and thus he lived
like a candle in a tin lantern, flickrin or
quiet, ez the wind blowd. Jle pluckt up
amazinly after the eleckshuns last fall, but
alas, the treachery of Meade and the rein
statement uv Stanton wuz two blows from
wich he cood not hope to recover. And so,
yesterday, at two p.m., wich in this case
means post mortem, he died.
“Send in Sairy !”* sed he, and a favorite
mulatto woman uv hizzen who, owin to
the fact uv her havin eight children, who
wuz quadroons, hed stayed onto the place,
wuz sent for. She set on the bed, and the
Elder’s head wuz placed in her lap. -*Give
me my munney,” sed he; aud a box uv
Confederit serip wuz given him. And so,
with his head i Sairey's lap, fingerin Con
federit scrip, and taken likker out uv a
spoon, he passed gently away. It wuz a
troo Kentucky deparcher. “This 18 the
eend uv life !” sed I. -*May my eend be
hke bis,” murmured Deckin Pogram, and
all wuz o’er.
There wuz trouble immejitly. When
the Elder's will wuz read I wuz disap
pointed to find that the Elder hed left the
half uv his estate to Sairey and his wife.
Sairey and the people uv the Corners to
wich he was indebted in small sums, wuz
disappointed to find that Bascom hed a mort
gage on everything the Elder possessed, uv
quite its valyoo. Bascom, I bleeve, hez a
mortgage onto every root uv ground within
ten miles uv here. He wood hev a mort
gage onto my property, I make no doubt et
I hed any. But I ain’t, halicloogy ! Ido
wish, however, that some one uv more en
larged views wood start a grocery here !
Its inconvenient to hev so sharp a man

o * % % *
It was thought Dby some that we had better
get the Parker & Watson Series, which is the
most usedin the Schools, simply because some
had got it, for the sake of uniformity ; but my
recommendation prevailed. One gentleman
present, who had used both, stated tfiat he had
used the other as long as he cared to, and con
sidcred the Willson Scrics as FAR superior, giv
ing an example of the difference of time requird
in teaching a new pupil, the preference being
decidedly in favor of the latter series. So we,
starting this new movement, have decided to
gl(jt the best book extant, so far as we knew
them,
(Signed) 8. WILLARD SAXTON,
From the American Freedman (Rev. Lymax
ABBOTT.)
* The peculiar characteristic this Series
lies in the fact that they aim to impart, as furas
possible, useful information. Forfkis 3 ose
they contain a series ot articles on! sub-
Jeets of science and history, graded cap
acity of different pupils;jand so arranged that
wenh the five volumes have heen carefully read,
the student, inaddition to a knowledge of read
ing, willhave acquired a considerable knowledge
in many departments of study, such as will;lay
the foundation for more complete instruction
afterward.” .
They are therefore peculiarly adapted to the
pressing needs and quick perceptives of the
colored children. Each book is profusely and
handsomely illustrated, and the¢ illustrations
are ALL intended to render the cmnFrchcnsion
of the reading matter more easy. The follow
ing testimonials have been selected fromy a
large mass of a similar nature : *

OFFICE SUPERINTENDENT EDBUCATION,
Ricnyoxp, Va., Dee. 13, 1866,
Dear Sir—l have been familiar with the Read
ers from their first publication, and am free to
say to you, as I have uniformly said to teachers,
superintendents, and others, that, all things |
considered, 1 regard them as the best Series be- |
fore the public. The leading peculiar feature
of this Series was a ha{)py inspiration of the
author, and the execution of the plaw so well
done as scarcely to admit of improvement. Mr.,
Willson’s style of composition in the lower
numbers of theBeries, and something of his plan
in the higher numbers, have been imitated by
some later writers of school readers with deci
ded advantage to their works. lenee, Mr, Will
son has not only made a peerless Beries of hLis
own, but has elevated the geucral standardeof
such works. Whenever my choice has not been |
constrained by circumstances, I havegalways
used this Series both in the white and colored
schools with which L bave been in any way |
couneeted. |
