Our Lifetime.

( When the world was created, and all the Great
ures assembled to have their lifetime appointed
the ass first advanced, and asked how long he hae
] to live.
"Thirty years. replied Nature -" will that b
agreeable to thee?"
| "Alas !" answered the ass, it is a long while
Remember what wearisome existence mine vii
be, from morning till night I shall have to bea
heavy burdens, dragging corn-sacks to the mill
that others may eat bread while shall have m
encouragement, nor be refreshed with anything bu
blows and kicks. Give me but a portion of tina
time, pray !"
Nature was moved with compassion, and present
ed him with but eighteen years. The ass wen
away comforted, and the dog was the next to com
forward.
GLOW long dost thou require to live !" asked
Nature; 4" thirty years were too many for the ass
but wilt thou be content with them?"
els it thy will that 1 should 2" replied the dog
" Think how much shall have to run about; my
feet will not last for so long a time; and when
shall have list my voice for barking, and my teetl
for biting, what else shall be fit for but to lie il
the corner and growl?"
Nature thought he was right, and gave hin
twelve years. The ape then approached.
"Thou wilt, doubtless willingly live the thirty
years." said Nature; ''thou wilt not have to labor
as the ass and the dog. Life will be more pleas
ant to thee"
An no cf1eQ ne, " SO IL may seem TO others
but it will not be! Should buildings ever rain
down, shall have no spoon! 1 shall play merry
tricks, and excite laughter by my grimaces, and
then be rewarded with a sour apple. How often
sorrow lies concealed behind Jest! shall not be
able to endure thirty years."
Nature was gracious and he received but ten.
At last came man, healthy and strong, and asked
the measure of his days.
Will thirty years content thee?"
"How short time ]" exclaimed man d" when
shall have built my house, and kindle fire on my
hearth-when the trees I shall have planted are
about to bloom and bear fruit-and when life shall
seem to me most desirable, shall die. Oh, Ma
ture, grant me longer period 2"
Thou shalt have the eighteen years of the ass
besides"
"That is not yet enough" replied man.
" Take likewise the twelve years of the dog"
" 1t is not yet enough" reiterated man, give me
more"
al give thee, then, the ten years of the ape; in
vain wilt thou crave more"
Man departed unsatisfed.
Thus man lives seventy years. The first thirty
are his human years, and pass swiftly by. He is
then healthy and happy-he labors cheerfully and
ejoices in his existence. The eighteen years of the
ISIS come next, and burden upon burden is heaped
Upon him he carries the corn that is to feed 9th
rs blows and kicks are the wages of his faithful
ervice. The twelve years of the dog follow, and
lie loses Lis teeth, and lies in corner and growls.
When these gone, the apes ten years form the
conclusion. Then man, weak and silly, becomes
he sport of children.

The GOLD FROM CALIFORNIA. The New York
Tribune of Thursday week last says: ' The Passen'
gers by the Prometheus report that the Oregon fol-
Panama, had 81 300. 900, on her freight list. The
aggregate by the three boats, including the amount
in passengers hands, is probably over two and hall
millions. The reception of such amount must
strengthen the improved feeling in Wall street, if the
shipments the next week not beyond what ore
anticipated. The accounts from California in rega"
to the produce of gold very favorable, and there
appears to doubt that during the remainder
of the year we shall receive an unexampled amou"

SEA SICKNESS. AT a late meeting of the British
Association, paper read by Mr.. j. Atkinson,
On sea-sickness, and new remedy for its proven
tion,' from which make the following extract {:
"Let person on shipboard, when vessel is
bounding over the waves, seat himself and take hold
of tumbler nearly filled with water other liquid
and at the same time make effort to prevent the
liquid from running over by keeping the mouth of
the glass horizontal or nearly So When doing this,
from the motion of the vessel his hand and arm will
seem to be drawn into different POSITIONS if the
glass attracted by powerful magnet. Continu-
ing his efforts to keep the mouth ofthe glass horizon
tai, let him allow his hand, arm and body to go
through the various moyements-as those observed
in saving, planning, pumping, throwing quot,
&C., which they will be impelled without fatigue,
almost irresstibly to perform and he will find that
this has the effect of preventing the gddiness and
nausea that the rolling and tossing of the vessels
have tendency to produce in inexperienced voy-
ages.
If the person is suffering from sickness at the COM
mencement Of his experiment, as soon as he~grasps
the glass of liquid in his hand and suffers his arm
to take its course and go through the movements
alluded to, he feels if he were performing them
of his own free will, and the nausea abates imme-
dately, and very entirely, and does not
return SO long as he suffers his arm and body to
assume the postures into which they seem to be
drawn. Should he, however, resist the free course
of his hand, he instantly feels thrill of pain of
peculiarly stunning kind shoot through his head,
and experiences sense of dizziness and returning
nausea. From this last circumstance the author of
the paper infers it as probable that the stomach is
primarily affected through the cerebral mass rather
than through disturbance of the thoracic and alb
dominal viscera and he is of opinion that the
method of preventing sea sickness Just described
(which he has found by experience to be efectuaI)
depends on the curious fact that the involuntary
motion communicated to the body by the rolling
and tossing of the vessel, are by the means he
adopts, apparently converted into voluntary"

Gen. Taylor never Surrenders.

"Crittenden, who was recently shot in Havana
is nephew of John ]. Crittenden, U. S. Attorney
He at first supposed to be his son. The son is
now consul at Liverpool. 1t was he who, in the
Mexican war, carried the message of his comman-
der to Santa Anna " Gen. Taylor never surrenders.
| We take the above from the Mobile Herald with
the view of correcting an error widely prevalent
that Gen. Taylor himself it was who uttered the
sentiment there attributed to him. and also to settle
question to its authenticity, raised by writer
of the press of this city, who has, again and again
through the columns Of thesheet he writes for said
it was invention of his own, drawn from his i'm
agination !" to embellish an EXTRA
AS to its authenticity we have the assurance of
Col Crittenden himself, the bare mention of which
is sufficient to remove any doubt that may exist
from the declaration of newspaper romancer, who
boasts of having published to the world an untruth
1t during the Mexican war, whilst enjoying the
hospitality of Col Crittenden's tent that we in
duced him to relate to us-which he did with the
reluctance of a modesty which is Distinguishing
trait in his character-the manner in which Santa
Anna became to be answered, and it was thus:
He was volunteer aid on the staff of Gen. Tay,
lor at Buena VISTA On the afternoon of the 22d-
before the battle opened, or shortly after-we do
not recollect exactly which-the Colonel was sent
to the enemy by Gen. Taylor with written answer
to demand to surrender. He was conducted to
and through the camp blindfolded, until in the
moved and the despatch delivered
Having heard its contents through an interpre
ter, the Mexican chief addressed Crittenden, and
asked: " Is Gen. Taylor mad? Look at my army,
sir! When you return inform him of my strength,
and he must surrender"
The interview took place on eminence COM
handing view for miles in every direction. Around
them was staff gorgeously equipped, and, numer
ically, little army of itself Twenty-Five thousand
men-cavalry, infantry and artillery-were on the
plain below. In the far distance was the American
force, not over four thousand effective men, with
out single heavy gun. The sight" said Col
Crittenden, speaking to us, il" was imposing the
tremendous disparity of force discouragng, and
l own had misgivings as to the result of the i'm
pending conflict; but I knew the stuff our men
was made Of and, determined that Santa Annals
trick of array should have no effect apparent to
him, I said: " Gen. Taylor never surrenders."
This is the history of the celebrated reply. Its
publication in wise detract from the re-
nown of the departed hero to whom it has been
accredited, and is but simple justice to gallant
gentleman who loved and revered him.
