From observing the wonderful effects ofSSssi 4
Psnscea, in II. G.. Tregomaine's esse, and from eat

his letters in Saturdays paper:
Il have long nursed an ardent DESIRE" says
the author of Pelham, IS to visit the country you
describe with so much ardor;-which your great
men have already rendered classical and your in-
stituttons sacred. A favOrite project with me is
to visit that country with the intention to do it
justice: and am sure that justice, however
qualified with the censure from which nothing
earthly can escape, will, on the whole, be the
Justice of admiration. But the aspect OF public
affairs in England. in which l am at this present
time deeply interested, is SO confused and ON
inous, that cannot even guess when Shall be
able to execute scheme have SO nearly lat heart
am COW inced that should ever behold Ameri-
ca, my present prepossessions will be confirmed
BY actual experience"
In looking over the list Of the original members
of the Society of Cincinnati. for the state of Mas
sachussetts. was surprised to find so great a
portion still alive, latter lapse OF forty eight years.
II is not merely for the purpose of mentioning how
many of that brave aud neritorious band survived
to this period, that would publicly notice the
fact; but with reference to the probability of what
portion of people in New England of the age from
twenty eight and thirty three, will live forty
eight or fifty years The proportion, in this case
is that of fifty in three hundred and thirty. The
members originally, in 1888, amounted to s35. in
this state 1t is said that, of this number, fifty.
one or two are still alive, being one sixth Of those
living forty eight years ago.
1t may be said, that this instance will not JUS
tify the general conclusion, that one sixth Of the
persons who are about so, may expect to live 4S
years. Perhaps not. How then shall we &C
count for the great portion of this class of men
living so longi Is it owing to their peculiar man
ner of life? To an early exposure to fatigue and
hardships? Did these strengthen their constitu-
TONS. and enable them to bear up against the
common diseases and infrmities Of life?--
This is not the common belief Early exposure
to cold and other severe privatiuns often bring
premature disease and death. Do they then lin
ger among us, and are they permitted TO remain,
to he living witnesses of our privileges and bles-
sings, and to remind US Of obligations to those
of the past generation for freedom and indepen.
