An Interesting Laborer.

There is man employed at the iron eslab-
lishment of Mr.. Cooper, in South Trenton who
has visited nearly every part Of the world has
spent many years among The Indians of the Pa
clfc ocean, and speaks more Indian languages
probably than any other man in The Stale.
Mr.. Sweeney (for such is his name) is EN-
ploved al the scales near The basin, where hs
weighs all The iron, coal, &C. which is receiv-
ed or sent away; and his business employs hlm
so constantly tina, he has lrllo leisure for CON
versa,ion. He is all American, aud we believe
was born in New York.
AT The age of fifteen he went 10 sea, and for
sixteen years scarcely visited The United States.
He was employed much of his lime in the
whale fishery among the Pacific islands, aud
his constant intercourse with the Indians, and
his facility in acquiring languages, soon made
him master of some thirty different Indian da-
lects. s
AT one Time, in consequence Of severe inds-
position from scurvy and other causes which
threatened to prove fatal if he remained on ship
board, he was sci ashore on the Marquesas Isl.
ands, and was there alone with The Indians be-
tween three and four years. Here he mingled
with them on the same footing as native born
Indian, and rose first to be the chief of his
tribe, and then the chief of all the tribes in that
group Of islands, retaining his power and con-
sequence up 10 the time of his departure. AT
this time his arms, legs, and body are covered
with The ,at,oos which are customary in the
Pacific groups, and their color, he informs us,
has not changed particle since the day this
painful operation was performed, which is now
some seven or eigh, years.
Mr.. Sweeney is steady industrious man.
and has wife, an English woman We believe,
whom he married in The Pacific One Of h.,
daughters still remains in some Of The Pacific
Islands, bu, The rest OF his family ATE with him
He is about lhiry-four years of age.

The medical writer's have often Irealed Of
the duration of human life, and the influence
which particular trades and conditions have up
on the health of individuals. From these some
curious and well aues,ed particulars may be
elici,ed. Ii is the general opinion that longev-
ity depends in great measure upon descent
from long-liyed ancestors, and many instances
of the fact may be add,iced. DR.. Franklin,
who died in his s4h year, was descended from
long Lived parents-his father died at eighty
nine, and his mother at eigh,y-seven. DR..
Fothergill states tina! be never knew single
instance of persons who had lived 10 be eighty
years of age, who had not descended from long
than men, but more men live to be very old
than women. Indeed, there appears TO be pro-
vision in nature for the mutual accommodation
of the sexes for at those periods of life when
women are the weakest, and mos, subject TO
disease, men are stronger than at any other Pc
riod of their lives; then when men by old age
become weakened, women again have the SUI
periori,y of strength. More persons who have
married live to be very old than persons who
have remained single, which is strong argu-
menl against celibacy, though contrary 10 the
popular notion, for old maids" and "old bach
elors" are such common phrases. that one would
be led TO believe that those conditions invaria-
bly, conferred length of days upon those who
that the number of births exceeds, in Town and
country, the number of deaths, but the proper
ton varies in difTeren, districts, according TO a
variation of physical and moral causes. nu-
merical proportion of births always exists be-
tween The sexes ; but more males are born than
females, which appears to be a provision Of na-
ture for maintaining due equality between the
number of the sexes; for The life of man, inde-
pendent Of destructive wars, is more exposed

Sadler has pointed out curious fact which

younger than himself the number of boys in
the family will exceed the number of girls but

Such are the general facts which appear to
have been established concerning the duration
of human life, but its extension and acoompa-
nying happiness must be materially modified
by the habits which each individual in his own
sphere is led to adopt.

Before me on the floor,
There lies a WORKOUT fount of type,
Full twenty thousand score:
And many months have passed, George,
Since they were bright and new,
And many are the tales they've told
The false, the strange, The true.
Their beauty has all gone, George,
You scarcely now may trace,
Upon the snowy medium,
The likeness of their face.
They mind me Of man, George,
Whose morn OF life was full
or promise, but whose evenings close,
Was desolaie and dull.
Wha, tales Of horror they have told,
Of tempest and of wreck;
OF murder in the midnight hour,
OF war full many "speck
OF ships that, lost away at sea
Went down before the blast;
OF siifed cries of agony,
As life's last moments passed
or earthquakes and Of suicides;
OF failing crops OF cotton;
OF bank defaulers-broken banks,
And banking systems rotten;
OF boilers bursting, steamboats, snsggd;
OF riots, duels fought,
OF robbers. with their prey escaped
OF thieves with beauty caught.
OF land slides and Of waierspouts
OF ants and allgaors;
OF serpenis in the briny deep;
OF gian, sweet potatoes;

Finances in disorder;

And troubles on The border

They've told how long sweet summer days

And how the smiling spring hath warm'd

aNEGRO TESTIMONY"

The Wing admits that Bebb, the new Wing
Governor Of Ohio, is in favor Of allowing ne
groes 10 testify but pallaes the fact on The ground
that Tod, the Democratic candidate, refused 10
give his opinions on the subject, and that Bebb
lost many votes on account OF his "negro opin-
ions.' As TO The first ground, The Wing is evil
DENLY in error, for we have seen in The Ohio
Democratic papers, in various sections of the
Stale, letter from Tod explicitly avowing his
opposition 10 the repeal of the "Back Laws"-
Indeed, his letter was kept standing at the head Of
their columns.
The Wing may refer to the election of Bebb as
carried in spite OF his NEGRO opinions" but the
following glori6cation OF the NJ Y. Tribune, good
Wing authority, shows that the election Of Bebb is
regarded as great triumph of The "negro testi-
mony" party. 1t also shows that The Democrats
are denounced as pretended swindleIs" for op-
posing such testimony. Whatever the Wings
elsewhere may. think on this subject it is evident
that The Wings OF Ohio, "as party" we're The
warm advocates OF the admission OF negro testi-
mony, and The Democrats no less warm oppo-
nents. Ought Southern Wings 10 rejoice over
the elevation Of Wing Governor, who openly
advocates the abrogation Of all laws "makins a
distinction in color2" Blu, the article from The
Tribune is conclusive:
"But if The verdict of Pennsylvania is impor-
