LONGEVITY.

The following article is taken from Norwich
Comm papefj printed some fourteen years ago:
''There is now living in this town man, in
the s5th year of his age, who was born on a
Sunday, his wife on Sunday, and his first child
on Sunday they had child born on the first
day Of the week, the first on Sunday morning
Of four generations, all bearing the same name,
all now living, and all present at family rehn-
ion short time since"
We are enabled to say that the same man is
yet living in good health, and has just entered
his esth year. He was in New York some two
years since and on visiting Wall ST., pointed out
the spot where ne stood and witnessed the inau-
guration of the immortal Washington. He was
for great number of years U. S. Surveyor Of the
Port Of Norwich He is now the patriarchal
head of five generations, the last one having re-
ligiously observed the family rule Of coming in
to the world on Sunday. The name Of this an
cient man is Erasus Perkins. Several Of his de-
scendants reside in this city; among them
grandson, James H. Perkins, Of odd Fellows

THE MOTHERS LAST PRAYER.

How true is ii that early impressions are as
lasting as life. A word-a smile-a frowf or
a prayer-how often do they enter the soul Of
some attentive child, and leave images beneath
its hidden shrines. The word may have been
thoughtlessly uttered-the trown unmeaningly
bestowed, but it matters not; it is remembered
through all future years and becomes, in some
degree, the educator of a child. The following
pathetic tale is Illustrative OF this truth.
III was very young, scarcely beyond the
verge of infancy, the last and most helpless OF
those little girls Who were gathered around my
mothers death bed. Whenever look on the
chain of my varied existence, the remembrance
of that being who departed so early and SO
gently from the bosom OF her family, forms the
sad link which ever gives forth q thrill of fune-
raj music when my heart turns to it, music
which becomes more deep toned and solemn, as
that chain is strengthened by thought or bound
together by the events of successive years.
The first person can remember was my in.
valid mother, moving languidly about her home
with the paleness Of death on her features and a
deep spot of crimson that burned with painful
brightness on either cheek, | remember her
step became more unsteady, and her voice
fainter and more gentle day by day, till at last
she sunk into her bed, and we We're called upon
to see her die. Pale and troubled faces were
dTOuuQ uef uCdtu PilloW, AAoA WIN SOU ie'SSo3
women overwhelmed with tears and sympathy,
and children that wept, they knew not why.
She murmured and placed her pale hand On
my head-my heart swelled within me, but
stood stood motionless filled with awe. Her
lips moved and voice tremulous and low came
family through them. These words, broken and
sweet as they were, left the first deep impress
sion that ever has remained on my memory
"Lead her not into temptation, but deliver heI
from evil" This was my mothers last prayer
In that imperfect sentence her voice was hushed
forever Young as then was that prayer en-
tered my heart with solemn strength. 1t has
fingered around my heart, blessing and a
safeguard, pervading it with music that can.
not die. Many times, when the heedlessnese Of
youth would have led me into error, has thai
sweet voice (now hushed forever intermingled
with my thoughts, and like the rosy links Of a
fairy chain, drawn me from my purpose.

MAHoMEr's SERMON on CHARITY In one OF
his traditional sermons, transmitted by his disci-
pies, is the following apologize on the subject Of
charity: When God created the earth it trembled
until he put mountains upon it 10 make it frm.-
Then the angels asked, "Oh, God is there any,
thing in thy creation stronger than these noun
tains % And God replied, 'Iron is stronger than
the mountains, for it breaks them" And is there
any thing of thy creation Stronger than iron p
Yes, fire is stronger than iron, for it nelts it.
Is there anything Of thy creation stronger than
fire? Yes, water, for it quenches fire. Oh Lord;
is there anything of thy creation stronger than
water2 Yes, wind, for it overcomes water and
puts it in motion. Oh, our Sustainer is there
anything Of thy creation stronger than wind? Yes:
a good man giving aims if ne give with his right
hand and conceal it with his left, he oyereomes
all things"

NItRDEn WILL OuT.-A most horrible affair
occurred near Lansing, Mich, recently, the cir

place relates as follows: A man named Jenney,
who resided alone, having no family died sud

believe he was poisoned, but suspicion rested
upon no one in particular. A few weeks ago a
revival of religion took place in the neighbour

father kept watch outside the son went in and
sprinkled the arsenic on all the food he could

THE MOON AND THE PUPPY.

Dir readers will find below an anecdote to
which we especially invite their attention. II is
an snecdote imparting lesson by which other
individuals and communities may be benefited.
In every community there are puppies barking
at the heels of every decent man they can encoun-
ter with the vain hope of mpairng his usefulness
by blurrng his reputation These puppies arc
found in every vocation and class of society,"
Loafers, street walkers, hangers about public
hotels, and rarely but sometimes, in the editorial
chair YOU will fud those whose only ambition is TO
retail The interesting incidents picked up in the
highways and byeways of scandal They roll
under their tongue dark and damnipg falsehood
as famished man would sweet morsel The
virtues of mankind plague spots In their sight.
They know them but to loathe them. Their only
happiness is in gloating over the foibes of thelr
fellow man and presenting them in false and glow
ing representation to diseased public taste.--
! Such individuals, all cohcede, are .huisances in
society which ought TO be abated. But how, and
in What way, has perpexed the wlsest heads OF
all ages and generations.
Solomon tells US to 'answer fool according to
his folly''-which means, as we interpret it, not
to answer him at ALL The only effectual answer
to blackguardism and lmpertlhence is silent con-
tempt.-Sosrates, when asked why he had not
contradicted some dsgracefal scandal, replied,
dict it," This is wise and proper. 1t was the
course pursued by Judge G. in the anecdote to
which we have referred. Puppies have and still
continue 10 bark. The best cannot prevent them.
The injured can only initiate The moon in the fable,
'by keeping right on as if nothing had happened
Fredericksburg .Ne,es.
remember an anecdote of Judge C, father
Of the distinguished President Of the Wesleyan
University, which 10 very characteristic Of the
man; and is, have no dodbt, authentic. At the
session of the curt in Addison county, Judge c.
was violently attacked by yotug and very i'm
pudeht attorney: TO the manifest surprise OF
every body present; the Judge heard him quite
through, as though unconscious Of what was said,
and made no reply:
After the adjournment of the day, and when all
had assembled at the inn where the Judge and
many Of the coart folks had their lodging, one OF
the company referring to the scene at court asked
the Judge 'why he did not rebnke the imperti-
nent fellow ?"
"Permit me-" said the jtdgs; lohd enough to
call the attention of all the conpah5, among whom
was tie ''fellow" in question "permit me to tell
you story. My father, when he lived down the
country, had dog-a mere puppy, may say
Well, this puppy would go ont every moonlight:
night and bark at the moon for hours together"
Here the Judge paused as if he had done with his
story:
"Well; we'll, what Of it?" exclaimed half a
dozen Of the audience at once:
.Oh nothing, nothing. whatever: the moon
| kept right on Just as if trolhing had happened:-

The FonrY DAYS OF LEN1.-trhe nniHbet
forty has been rendered in various ways quite sig
nificant, and was appropriated to these special
seasons of repentance. Forty days the deldge
covered the ear,h--forty years the Israelites wan
defed in the desert, until the whole Of the genera
ion that had left Egypt, except one. was cqt off;
Moses tasted forty days on the modnt-ElJah
forty days in the wilderhess-the Ninevites were
allowed forty days for repentance ana amend
meht, and our blessed Lord tasted forty days in
the wilderness, at the commencement of his min
stry on earth Hence it is that this practice has
been followed for more than eighteen hundred
wears.
