HUMAN LITE,
OC THE FIRST AND LAST MINUTE
Minutes pass—The anxious husband paces
s owly across bis study. He is a lather, a man
, hild is born into him. Minutes pass—Ihc child
i „ been blessed by a parent, whom it cannot
,,'coenize. and pressed to that bosom, to which
i alone guides tor sustenance—the young
’.fe too has faintly answered to a husband’s
questions, and felt his warm kiss on her tore
' I fours pass.—The low moaning from the
c'osely covered cradle, tells of the first wants
t,l its ittlant occupant. The quiet tread of the
nun}e speaks of suffering around her; while her
,,iaj countenance, says that the veiy suffering
which she is trying to alleviate, is a source of
,and the nameless articles, which from time
k. tune she arranges on the hearth, tell of a new
c aimant for the courtesies and attentions of
who have progressed further on the path
wav of existence.
[)ays pass.—Visiters are thronging the cham
ber, and the mother, pale and interesting after
her recent sickness, is receiving their congra
tulations, and listening proudly to their praises
of the little treasure, which lies asleep in its
r.>cking-bed at her feet. The scene shifts, and j
the father is there with her alone, as the twi-1
,ic»ht deepens about them, while they are plan-1
fiTi1' the future destiny of their child. I
\\\rks pass.—The eyes of the young mother |
iiro sparkling with health, and the rose blooms I
,i Min on her cheek, and the cares of pleasure |
!md home engage her attention, anil the fa- I
ther is once more mingling with the world; ,
vet they find many opportunities each day |
j() visit the young inheritor of life—to watch i
over .'is
jiLs dreamless slumber—to trace each
other's looks in his countenance, and to pon
_r upon tfte felicity, of which lie is the bearer
'' i/o"a« pass.—The cradle is deserted. But |
»| . chamber floor is strewed w ith play tilings,
’ 1 there is a little one loitering among them, j
aIiom? half lisped words, and hearty laugh, and I
vmnv countenance tell you, that the entrance (
intu life is over a pathway of flowers. The era
ju ;s e-unty. but the last prayers of the parents ■
aiv uttered over the small crib, which stands ,
b. th**ir own bedside, and theii latest attention j
s •dven to the peaceful breathings pi its occu-,
' Years pass.—Childhood has strengthened i nto
novhood and gambled along into manhood.—
Mid connexions are broken—parents art* s»eep
i»in their graves—new intimacies are formeo
_~i new home is about him, new cures distract
(Uin. He is abroad, struggling amid the busi
ness of lilt*, or resting from it with those whom
ha> chosen from his own generation. Time
t> beginning to wrinkle his forehead, and thought
is fobbed his looks of their gaiety, and study
n.is dimmed his eyes. Those who began life,
utter lie Had grown up, are fast crowding him
out 0f it, and there are many claimants upon
bis industry and love, for protection and sup
port. ,
Years pass.—His own children have become
men. and uie quitting him. as he also quitted
the home of his fathers. His steps have lost
their elasticity—his hand has become familiar
with the cane, to which he is obliged to trust in
his walks. He has left the hustle which fatigued
him. He looks anxiously in each days paper
among the deaths—and then ponders over the
name of aa old friend, and tries to persuade
himself, that he is younger, and stronger, and
has a better hold upon life than any of fiis co
temporaries.
Months pass.—He gradually diminishes the
circle of his activity. He dislikes to go abroad,
where he finds so many new faces: and he
grieves to meet his former companions, after a
short absence, they seem to have grown old
and infirm. Quiet enjoyments only are relished,
—a little conversation about old times—a sober
game at whist—a religious tr eatise,—and his
early bed, form for him the sum total of his
pleasures.
IIe»'.V.f puss.—Infirmity keeps him in his
chamber. His walks are limited to the small
space between his easy chair and his bed. His
swollen limbs are wrapped in flannels. His
sight is failing—his ears refuse their duty, and
his cup is but half filled, siuce otherwise, his
shaking hand cannot carry it to his shrunk lips,
w ithout spilling its contents. His powers are
weakened—his faculties are blunted—his
strength is lost.
Days puss.— The old man does not leave
?us bed—his memory is failing—fie talks but
c innot be understood—he asks questions but
they relate to the transactions of a former ge
relation—he speaks of occurrences, but tl.i re
collection of no one around him car' go back
to ti ir scenes—he s**cms to commune with
coin* ados, but when he names them, it is found
that the waters of time and oblivion have long
^ overed their tombs.
/Jmrs pass.—The taper grows dimmer and
>! i in it* er—the machinery moves yet more and
mure sk'wlv—the sands are fewer as they mea
- re the .allotted span. The motion of those
. oiit him k unheeded, or becomes a vexation.
K u i fre>h inq liry after his health is a knell. The
i rings of life c an i'O longer force on its wheels
—the' -silver chore! is i’nst untwisting—the pitcher
k bi often at the fountain -and time "is a burthen.”
lli> childien are about h.m. but he heeds them
not—his friends are near, but he does not re
cognize them. The circle is' completed. The
course is run—and utter weakness brings the
damp, which ushers in the night of death.
Mians pass—His breathing grovs softer and
lower—his pulse beats fainter and feebler.—
Those around him are listening, but cannot
tell w hen they cease. The embers are burnt
oid—wid the blaze flashes not before it expires.
His three score years and ten” are number
ed. Human life‘‘is finished.”—V H. l*al.

in one mile of Oak Hill, and adjoining Messrs.
Thomas Marshall and Richard Blackburn, and
immediately on the main road leading from the
Hollow (Mannasses Gap) to Middleburg, con
taining 442 ACRES OF LAND, the quality of
which is inferior to none in the county for farm
ing or grazing, being well watered and very
productive. There is an excellent chance to
fallow of about 11*0 acres of clover, which has
been standing two years. The IMPROVE
MENTS are new, and not quite finished, w hich
have cost upwards of two thousand dollars, and
beautifully situated, commanding an extensive
view in every direction. I deem it unnecessa
ry to say any more respecting the land; but
persons wishing to purchase are invited to exa
mine for themselves; resting satisfied that, with
all judges of land, the property will recommend
itself. A fair price will be taken for it, and the
terms will be, one-fourth in band, and for the
balance, the purchaser, by paying the interest
annually, can fix his own time of payment, from
one to ten years. Possession can be had at any
time and an unquestionable title made for the
land! Any further information w anted, directed
