EIirtr of Life.

The Philadelphia Bulletin well says that the
true elixir of life is not to be sought in medicine,
but in the proper ordering of our days. There
is not an hour in our whole career when we may
not do something either to lengthen or shorten
our lives To live long we must avoid excuses,
whether of body or mind, do our duty to our fell
lows, and take air and exercise and thus, with
a mind at case, and regular mode of life, we
NAV boast Of having found the true elixir.
