CASTLE8 IV THE AIR.
I built a castle in the air,
Inniy wild lioyhood'a thoughtless glee;
And all the world was good and fair,
And every heart was true to me;
Till Time's cold blasts, too rudely blown,
Shook down my castle, stone by stone.
I built a castle in the air,
In manhood's morn, and called it Home;
And though sweet love and joy were there,
Yet winds would blow and clouds would come
Andj spite of all my heart's fond trust,
1 felt my castle stood on dust.
I built a castle in the nir,
A id decked it o'er with wen'th untold;
But soon I saw that carking care
Was not kept out by bars of gold;
And Death would stalk through jeweled doors,
And haunt my gilded corridors.
I built n castle in the air,
Ambition gave the wood and stone;
Bnt I looked forth, and everywhere
These castles lay on earth o'erthrown,
And naught survived but a tarnished pall,
Or a shivered tablet on the wall.
So Ï ceased these airy domes to rear,
For time and thought had made inc wise,
Ami taught me how 'twas bootless here
To build on aught beneath the skies,
And air and earth alike were vain
The soul's large longings to sustain.
And chastened thus, as calm I roam,
What c.irtli refuses, heaven supplies;
For the thresholds of my Father s home
Shine bright and glorious from the skies;
And steadfast now, 'mid life's brief stages,
I build me on the "Kock of Ages."

Longevity.
The death of a colored woman in New'
Orleans at the age of one hundred and fif
teen years is announced. A Texas paper
says there is now a black man in Jefferson,
in that State, named Quaco, who is, per
haps the oldest inhabitant of the United
States. Ilis age is placed at one hundred
and twenty to one hundred and twenty
five. He is hale, hearty, able to do a
good day's work, and does not require
spectacles. There was living in Los An
geles county, California, a few years ago,
an Indian woman who was said to have
reached the age of at least one hundred
and twenty years. A gentleman of our
acquaintance, who had frequently conver
sed with this ancient woman, assured us
that there was no doubt of her great age.
Her skin, he said, was more like a piece
of tanned leather than anything else, and
was almost as impenetrable as the hide of
an elephant. She often related events in
the history of California which had tran
spired more than a hundred years before
its settlement'by the Americans. These
instances of longevity

remind us of the
A pilgrim, so it run«, found a
very old man weeping. On asking the
cause, he was told that the old man's fath
er hail been beating him. The pilgrim
remonstrated with the Methuselah for his
parcntinl severity, and Icarus that it was
called forth by the "old boy" pelting his
f rundfather who was up an apple tree.
'he secret of old age has been sought for
*n many directions. Cleanliness of the
body is generally supposed to contribute
there to, Lady Lcwson, who died in Lon
don at the age of one hundred and six
years, was a decided foe to water. "Peo-,
pie who washed themselves," she said,
"were always catching cold." Impertur
bable self-satisfaction is also commonly re
garded as favorable to longevity. Cona
ro, who lived an irregular and intemperate
life until the ago of sixty-five, but during
ihc remaining thirty-five years reduced his
diet to twelve ounces of solid food and
fourteen of liquids per day, attaiued the
perfection of this virtue. In his last trea
tise, written when he was ninety-five, he
had brought his regimen to such perfec
tion that, to quote his own confession,
* 'neither the death of grandchildren nor of
other relatives or friends coul l make any
impression upon him but for a moment or
two, and then it was all over." Of Thom
as Parr, who is said to have died at the
wonderful age of one hundred and fifty
flt 1 wo years, the poet Taylor says :

Thus living within bouuds of nature's laws

Old Parr at last found his Capua in
London. There is no doubt that country
life, sobriety, regular occupation, but ex
emption from wasting care, together with
a good constitution and a "desire to live

-old age.
