Education and Longevity.

Gnecral Intelligence in a community operates
in many ways in behalf of the continuance of
human life. 1t ,locs so by favorng that morality
and virtue, the want of which, by leading to
fatal lndulgences, sends so many to the grave.
1t does so by making men acquainted with the
laws Of life, by which SO many of its foes may
be avoided. 1t does so by furnishing communi-
ly with a knowledge of the various remedies
which experience and skill have brought to light
for the relief of human wo.
But let us see how statistics confirm this po-
silon A celebrated Belgian philosopher has
gone into this subject with great ability, end
has brought to light some interesting facts. ftie
compares England and the Mexican States of
Guanaxuato as two extremes Of the scale of
civilization. In England there are titty.eght
inhabitants to one death, in the latter nineteen
deaths being three times as numerous in the one
as the other, in proportion. England is high
ly civilized States, while in Guanaxuato, the
mass Of physical, moral aud political pollution is
Of an appalling magnitude.
With advancing civilization the rate of popor
tionable mortality decreases. In the l7lh GEN.
tuary, the annual number of deaths in London
arose to 81 900. One hundred years later,
though there was great increase Of population
the number was bat $4,000. In the middle of
the last century, the annual mortality was one
in twenty; now it is only one in forty, having
diminished one half.
We reach similar interesting resultsif we
contemplate men in different social positions
OF ten thousand persons in agricultural districts
in England, where education more widely pre-
walls, 1858 reached the age of forty years; vile
of an equal number in the manufacturing dis
tricts, only 1919 survived to reach that age.
A comparison in France between 1900 per-
sons in high rank with 1000 in section of
Paris containing ragmen, sweepersday 0borers,
&C., showed mortality twice as great among
the latter as among the former.
BY looking over the table of Lille Insurance
companies, we ascertain very great mortality
among the uaeducated poor, compared wih the
educated classes.
Casper, of Berlin, has made some curious exr
ploratlons in the great field of human longevity
especially in reference to the influence of the
professions on mortality. He arrives at the con.
cusion that OF all The varied pursuits Of men
that Of the clerical profession stands the best
chance for giving its incumbents green old

cergymen there attained the age of seventy
and upward, forty.two of advocates twenty.

only twenty-four.

may do in Prussia, but the immense pressure o
responsibility resting on this class, and the ex
cessivc labor demanded of them in this country
would give, we believe, far different result

THE MILLENNlUM--At the late meeting of
the American Temperance Union in the city of
New York, the venerable Lyman Beecher,
D. D., of Boston, was introduced to the audi.
ance, and welcomed with the most hearty up-
pIause. He said he had always believed in the
prophecies of the Millennium, but he had never
hoped to live ill its immediate approach. But

the Millennium will be right on his heels,

TEACHING AND TRAINING. 1t is recorded Of
Dean Swift that he had often been teaching his
servant IN vain to close the library door when
she left the room. One day she entered her
masters study, and requested permission to 60
to the marriage of friend, a few miles into the
country, which was granted. The door as usual
was left open. Annoyed at this, the Dean per-
mittcd the girl to leave the house several minutes
and then told another servant to follow and say
to her that her master wished to speak with her.
She reluctantly obeyed the summons, and return
ing in great haste, inquired what her master
wished to say The Dean calmly replied, o,
nothing in particular shut the door, What
teaching had failed to do training in this instance
fully accomplished, for the door was ever after
wards properly closed.

Why A NETTLE STINGs.-The common large
nettle is known by greVious experience to every
one, though, perhaps, you have never yet in
quired whence the pain arises from touching it,
The sting is not like n pin or needle, SOLID
throughout but it is hollow at The centre, and
perforated at the point and when touched it is
not only sharp enough to pierce the skin, hut
ls also constructed as to inject a particle Of
poisonous fluid into the wound it makes and this
is the sources OF the pain which follows. The
wound itself is so minute that it would scarcely
be felt, but the poison lrritates, inllamcs, and
causes the we'll known pain alluded to. The
plant, the small species of which stings the most
severely, is covered all over with hairs but by
using microscope or magnifyng glass, you may
perceive that these are not all of one kind, some
being perforated, which are the slings, while
others are not. Each sting stands upon pedes
ia and performs the office both Of gland and
poison bag 1t is cellular and spongy within !;
the sting is placed in its top, aud may be mo ed
by slight pressure to either side, or round in
circle it seems to stand, as it were, on a uni
versa Joint When body touches its point, the
base is pressed down into the spongy pedestal,
and the poisonous fluid rushes up through the
tube Of the sting and flows out of the terminal
aperture.

On the 10Th of Mafuh, islf, Gen. Scott AZ
fiyed before Vera Cruz On the 14th OF Septetn-
ber 1847, he planted the stars and stripes over
the national palace in the city OF Mexico within
these six months San Juan DUlloa-the Ameri-
can Gibraltar-was stormed, and the battles OF
Cerro Gordo, Contreras, San Antonio, Churubus-
co, Molinos del Rey, and Chepultepec were fought
and won. With less than ten thousand hghtlng
men he attacked and routed again and again,
thirty thousand Of the best troops of Mexico
posted behind the strongest Notifications, and
fighting with the courage of desperation. No
thing Of military achievement recorded in an
cient or modern history can excel the glory Of
that march from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico!
Such is brief sketch of one whose life has
been devoted to the service and glory Of his
country, and whose patriotism is enlarged enough
to extend to the whole country. Born Southern
man, reared and educated among Southerners, he
has fought and bled alike for the North and South
and to suppose that he could be willing to do in
justice to either, would be to declare the last
forty years of his life but lie.
Much abuse has recently been heaped upon
this gallant patriot because he declines giving
written pledges upon the various questions which
may be involved in the approaching Presidential
election. We doubt not that several of the gen.
tlemen now prominent before the Democratic
party would cheerfully give pledges of any kino
ohatever, provided they could thereby secure q
nomination. 1t is not difficult to make promises
and it is very easy thing to break them. We
could point to an illustrious example in the his
tory of the Democratic party which occurred but
very few years since. A certain Presidential
candidate gave written pledge that he was in
favor of the protective SYSTEM and got tariff votes
thereby but as soon as elected, became sudder
convert to the doctrines of free trade.
When a citizen has been for nearly half cen
tury in the service of his country, his past history
is the best guaranty for his future conduct.

This road was formally opened on Monday last

OF Cumberland three hundred and two miles
from Baltimore, and only sevmty-threc miles from

now sudden and striking will be the effects upon

profitable to Baltimore And through what
magnificent country viii it pass The mind is

The Presidential Canvas.

On our own side the prospects of success are
cheering. We have leader who has SO often
bound victory to his standard that the strong
columns now supporting him will enter the field
with the prestige of triumph already in advance to
herald the accession of new glories Firm and
united, the tread of this mighty host shaking the
sold earth, will be heard in responsive reverber-
ations throughout all parts Of the land The
torn banners of England, borne from the fields Of
Chippewa and Lundy's Lane, amid the roar o
artillery and the thunders of Nagaras cataract
the trophies Of conquest making path of glor,
from Vera Cruz to the city of Montezuma-fag
that once floated over the heights of Cerro Gordo
at Churubusco, and on the battlements of Chepul
tepec,-these, the memorials Of former victories
in war, may go with the advancing array of the
Wing phalanx as signals and assurances of a
triumph now to be achieved in peace.
As the campaign opens and the canvass pro-
ceeds, we may be that all holding the ascend
ancy Of Wing principles important to the country
will be found in compact order moving onward
to the great end in view, with resolved purpose
to vindicate the cause for which they contend by
making it thoroughly their own. The selection
of Gen. Scott as the Whig leader in this struggle
was tribute to his great services to his country
and it was fairly made, by Convention of high
minded gentlemen, from among competitors
whom any man might be proud to be classed
with. de stands, too, upon a platform of princi-
pies with which our cause is identified In sus-
tanning him We sustain them and we sustain
them under prospects of success calculated to
inspire the highest hopes.

from day to day. may be regarded as the ground
