lD-The National Era concluding an article on
the statistics of Mortality states that in certain
district, while the premature deaths numbered 23,
PAL, those from old age, numbered only ,741, and
then asks is this premature mortality necessary?
We suppose we have as good right to answer this
question as any person, and will do SO by saying
that it is not necessary Nature has made bat one
cause ofdeath and that is old age. Death from a
ny other is the result of ignorance and folly
either in ourselves or those who precedc U.S. All
nearly all OF those diseases peculiar to certain
sections are less the result Of the condition Of the
earth or atmosphere, than tie vitiatcd system on
which the conditions operate We indulge in all
kinds Of folly and excuses in both eating and drink
ing; We neglect all the requirements OF health, and
breath of malairir in the atmosphere operates
spark to gunpowder; the conditions are favorable
to be affected by it. and as soon as we arc touched
olive go. If there be any thing strange in the
matter it is rather that many attain old are as 10
when we take into consideration the vicious habits
SO universally prevalent. Frugality-;cmpcranc
in eating and drinking, exercise, reasonable hours
for rest, abstinence from those harrassing cares
which attend upon the monomaaia of money ma
king, and we might add abrogation OF corsets
would make a vast difference in tie bill of mortality
But after all there IS necessity in all these things
The fine goldis obtained only by passing the rough
and rugged ore through the fiery furnace Of the
assayor---a type OF the fiery furnace Of affection
through which the human soul must pass TO reach
that ennoblng destiny in store Tor it, even in this
lower world Neither earth nor man was made
in vain. They arc fitted for each ether and in the
progress of mind, there can be 10 question but the
knowledge will be attained which viii enable man
to properly adapt the blessings SO thichly stIcwn
in the beautiful world about him. Instead then OF
poison in the air he brcathcs, or food he cats he
will find lie and inauguration and health until Ii Ike
the tree of the forest time SHALL dry up and exhaust
the sap ollie, VIXEN he can
Wrap the drapcry Of his coach about him
And retire 10 rlcastL. deans
The portals of death instead OF grating harshly
and shrinkingly upon his senses will open as the
gaze OF his own pleasure grounds and without pain,
and insensbic to the change, he will pass to new
life and rev youth.
