Longevity Of Quakers.-Quakerism is favor
able to longevity, it seems. According to late
English census returns, the average attained by
members Of this peaceful sect in Great Britain,
is fifty-one years, two months, and twenty. .one
days. Half of the country, as seen by the same
returns, die before they reach the age oftwen-
ty-one, and the average age duration of life the
world over, is but thirty-three years. Quakers,
therefore, live third longer than the rest of U.S.
The reasons are obvious enough. Quakers are
temperate and prudent, are seldom in hurry,
and never in passion. Quakers in the very
midst of the weeks business-on Thursday
morning-retire from the world and spend an
hour or two in silent meditation at the meeting
house. Quakers are diligent; they help one
another, and the fear of want does not corrode
their minds. The journey of life is to them
walk of peaceful meditation. They neither
suffer nor enjoy intensely, but preserve CON-
posed demeanor always. Is it surprising that
their days should be long in the land!--Nation-
al Intelligencer.

Sir John Franklin.-We have only one 9th
er communication to notice, and that is of SC
curious nature that we cannot pass it over
1t is a letter from Thomson, dated the 18th Of
September last, stating that the ships from
Spitzbergen have brought home great nuns
Der of reindeer skins with cuts (slits) in their
ears. To account for this popularity, it iscon-
jectured that the Sits were made by Franklin's
party, who caught the deer to the north of
Spitzbergen, and liberated them thus marked
for the purpose of creating chain of commu.
nication with parties to the South. We con-
fess that this explanation appears to US more in
genious than probable London AthenGum.

improvement on the Ericsson.-We learn
from the st. Louis Evening News that Norman
Cutter and machinest from that city, are now
in New York perfecting the model for an en-
gine upon the Ericsson principle. lis said to
be much simpler and cheaper than the Erics-
son engine, and will be much better adapted
to the running of steamboats, and locomotive
cars. 1t will occupy less space, and will con.
sumo much less fuel.

The Soldier, and the Kuag--The King of
Prussia had heard that a brave and favorite
corporal in one of his regiments, who was
known as handsome young man, wore, out Of
vanity, a watchchan suspended from bullet in
his fob. Having the curiosity to investigate
the fact, he walked purposely to him one MORN
ing and said: "a tz -........ .-......t.-. -,
"Why, corporal, you are brave fellow to
have saved enough to buy watch" ~
"Sre," said the Corporal, II fatter myself /
am brave, but as for my watch, it is of little
Specification"
Pulling out his splendid gold watch, the
King continued ........s-..,
4By my time-pieee it is five; what is it by
yoHrs?' 5'. '.
The corporal, pulling out his bullet with q
trembling hand, replied
"My watch tells me neither five nor six, but
shows me clearly that must be ready at any
time to die for your majesty" .'-- ''
A smile lighted up the unusual stern coun-
tenance of the King. EtsE o.
"Keep, then, your time piece" said he "since
it reminds you of your duty; and accept mine
also," throwing the chain over his neck, "in to-
ken that your King appreciated, and can re-
ward the loyalty and devotion of a gallant SOL
der"

Cold Comfort for Office Seekers.-The Wash.
ington correspondent of the Charleston Stand.
ard says: ........ .-
1t is understood that there will be very
general removal of all the Wings in office who
were appointed on political considerations, and
that in filling their places the policy Of avoiding
restorations will be very closely adhered to-
Perhaps quite half the four or five thousand
ofice-seekers from distance, who are still
here, have already held office. So, with very
few exceptions, they (that class) are doomed
to be disappointed -. .... u.

Adventurous Boys-The Galena Gazette, Of
the 2sth ult, says: g..
On Saturday last there passed through Gale
ma, by stage, two boys, one of four and the 9th.
er seven years of age. They left the county of
Glare, Ireland, the lst of January, for Du-
buque, and came the whole way unattended by
relatives or particular friends. When they left
New York, on their journey westward, they
had but $3.50 with which to pay their expen-
ses; but when they arrived at Chicago the sum
had grown to $6. Weakness and confdng faith
are often even surer protection than strength.
Whatever may be the defects in the American
character, at the epresent time, want of SYM
pathy is not one of them. .t.~

DHe that is noble-minded has the same
concern for his own fortune, that every wise
man ought to have, and the same regard for
his friend that every good man really has; his
easy, graceful manner of obliging, carries as
many charms as the obligation itself; his favors
are not extorted from him by importantly, are
not the late rewards Of long attedance and ex-
pectation; but flow from free hand and open
heart.

DA learned Irish Judge, among other Pc.
culiarities had habit of begging pardon on
every occasion. Once his favorite expression
was employed in rather singular manner. At
the close of the asszes as he was about to
leave the bench, one of the officers of the court
reminded him that he had not passed sentence
of death on one of the criminals, as he had in-
tended. "Dear me-" said his lordship, II beg
has pardon-bring him up."
