ongevity.-Conversing lately, with venerable
friend on the subject of longevity, he observed that
there were some remarkable instances of it in the
State of Delaware. One d. r. Pie was living
few years ago in Kent, Dover, upwards of l06.
His age hal been recorded in some Office, in Car
Isle, Penn. as he passed that way in the army. One
Benjamin Butler of George Town, Sussex County,
was but few months younger than D. r. Pie. A
Mrs. Margaret MLevy, residing in the upper part
of Newcastle County, deceased lately, in the ll3th
year of her age. She was not known to have been
sick but once, and retained her faculties in 1896,
occasionally walked out and never laid down in day
time. Several coloured people have been known
to live upwards of 100 years in this State. One
woman to the age of 1870, which seems to indicate
the salubrty Of the climate generally though there
are several exceptions, from local causes.
My friend accounted in great measure for the
longevity of the above persons, and OF many others
who, he had reason to believe, were upwards of
100 years, the score of temperance, and regular,
and laborious exercise. We, said he, see fu-hand-
ed dissipation running its rapid career to ruin, and
indulgence of every kind balanced with its reward
in our present state of being Atauence and ease
are the grand objects of pursuit, and their
comitant evils never abate our avidity for them.
We think we manage matters better than those
who have gone before u.s. We figure to ourselves
the limits to which we can and will 60 with safety
But propensity having got into the ascending node
