Duration of Human Life.

From the advance sheets of "The Art of Pro
longing Life"
1T is commonly believed that during the
early periods of the world, the lives of its in
habitants were more youthful and perfect that
these primitive men had gigantic size, incredi-
bic strength, and a most astonishing duration of
life. variety of such notions were long pre-
valent among mankind; and to those are
indebted for the origin of many romantic tales.
Some have not hesitated seriously to ascribe to
our forefather, Adam, the height Of nine hun
drcd yards, and the age of almost thousand
years. But the accurate and ndrationatinvcstiga.
tion of modern philosophy has converted the
supposed bones of giants found in different parts
of the earth, into those of the elephant and
rhinoceros; and acute theologsts have shown
that the chronology of the early ages was not the
same that used at present
Some, particularly Hensler, have proved,
with the highest probability, that the year till
the time of Abraham consisted only Of three
months; that it was afterwards extended to eight
and that it rot till the time of Joseph that
it was made to consist of twelve. These asser-
tions are in certain degree, confirmed by some
of the eastern nations, who still reckon only
three months to the year; and besides, it would
be altogether ineSpicable why the life of man
should have been shortened one half immedatel
after the food 1t would be equally ineXplica-
bic why the patriarchs did not marry till their
sixtieth SEVENTEEN, and even hundredth year;
but this difficulty vanishcs when we reckon these
ages according to the before mentioned standard,
which will give the twentieth or thrtieth year;
and, consequently the period at which
people marry at present.
The whole, therefore, according to this ex-
PLANTATION, assumes different appearance, The
sixteen hundred years before the flood will be-
come four hundred and fourteen; and the nine
hundred years (the highest recordcd) which
Methuseah lived, will be reduced to two hun
drcd-an age which is not impossible, and to
which some men in modern times have nearly
approached.
In profane history, we have account of
many heroes and Arcadian kings ofthose periods
who attained to the age of several hundred
years. but these pretended instances of longevi-
ty can be explained in the same manner
With the period of Abraham, period when
| history seems first to be established more
certain grounds, find mention of a duration
| of life which can be still attained, and which nc
longer appears extraordinary, especially whcr
we consider the temperate manner in which thu
patriarchs lived; and that, as they were no
mades, a wandering people, they were mucl
exposed to the free open air.

THE Ericsson ENGINE.-The New ork j our
nal Of Commerce gives us the annexed informa-
ton of what is doing by the friends of this new
motor.
It will be rccollectcd that the caloric ship
Ericsson returned from her trip to Washington
about seven months ago, and that Immediately
thereafter, essential notifications and inpr owe
ments in the plan of the engine determined
upon. These have since been in progress at
Willamsburgh near where the ship built,
and where she has since lain. The public will
be gratified to learn that these alterations are
now nearly completed, and that, SO far from the
enterprise having been abandoned, has been
the general belief, the fullest confidence is
tertaiped on the part of those Immediately in
terestcd, of its complete success on the second
trip of the ship Mr. Ericsson is devoting his
whole time and undivided energies to the realiZa-
tion of this end
1t is expected that within two weeks, one of
the engines will be completed, and the other
will be finished soon after The several parts
are all ready, and now on board. We under
stand that the power of these engines will far
exceed what was attained under the low pres
sure system employed on the first trp-as they
are to be worked under condensed pressure

The Ok THAT WOULDN'T STAY KILI.ED.-Thc
Detroit Advertiser tells the following good one
of farmer in that vicinity who drove very
fat OK to market. expecting that the animal
when killed would yield some twelve or thirteen
hundred lbs, of beef. He sold the OK; buyer
drove him off, and at night came back repre-
senting that the OK had been slaughtered, and
offered to settle for it, but showing an account
Of its weight which fell short of the expecta-
| tions of the farmer, who insisted on seessg the

money in his pocket. Dgrtag the night after
his return, the dead OK eeme back to his yard
alive and well, having Broken out of the butch
er's enclosure; and the next day the farmer
drove the same OK back to town and offered to
sell him to the same butcher, WHO, having mis-
sed the animal, eyed the new conner rather sus
piciously, and concluding that he it ~ho ha(
been sold, bought the OK at q Jumping price

MYSTERIES Of Venice.

Mysteries Of Venice.
We have read many curious things concern
ing the Queen of the Adriatic - but the fol-
lewing pcculiarity, described by recent travel

of all is the incredible number of professors of
the noble art of shoe-blacking-an art which
hardly be said to exist in many cities that might
be supposed to stand far more In need OF it.
Venice is, perhaps, the cleanest town in the
world all the streets and squares paved
with marble There is no carriages, dust,
no mud brought in from country road, no ae-
emulation OF refuse and garbage for it all finds
it's way at once out of the windows into the
canals. In short, with the best will in the world,
it really seems impossible to get your shoes dir
ty, and yet the shoe-blacks are running about
in swarns, and moreover, seem devoted to their
art with really passionate fanaticism. How
ever immaculate and polished considered my
boots to be- | never succeeded in escaping their
Jealous services, and it was so much the more

thoughtful lad, in search of employment

of sightseeing English workrflen, to the
Place de Greves to witness the execution

GER Under the rays of an almost lnsup-

concregated around the guillotihe and it
was not without considerable exertion and
4 bribe of some small amount, that stan

bench in long cart, between two priests,

Justice. The crucifx was incessantly ex-
hibited to their view, and presented to
their lips to be kissed, by ghostly atten--

horrible preparation, the elder advanced
upon the platform of the guillotine. With
liyid aspect and quivering lips, he gazed
around in unuterable agony upon the sea
of human faces then lifting his haggard
eyes to heaven, he demanded pardon of
Gcd and the people for the violation of
the great prerogative of the former, and
the social rights of the latter; and besought
most earnestly the mercy Of the Judge,

THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING VAIN
A vain fool is the happiest animal that
lives. His weakness, as the world calls
it, is to him as mail of proof. Amid a
storm of sarcasm or of insult, he stands
not only unappalled but unmoved. Were
the Kisses of a universe directed at him,
he would merely pity the want of dis
cernment which rendered him mark for
scorn. Oh! if there is man who enjoys
an elysium on earth, it is the anointed of
conceit. Vain Of his mind, his person,
lis acquirements-r regarding them with
gu3ettes of immeasurable magnifying
power, and looking at all the world be-
side through en- inverted telescope, his ex-
istence is 2 dream Of glory, from which a
sublime Inconsistencies Of imperfectlon
excludes even the semblance of a cloud
Rely upon it the nearest approach to an
gelic bliss permitted to mortals, is enjoyed
by him whose capacity for self-admira-
ton and modicum of brains stand in the
relation of infnity to nothing. There
fore, do not pity the very vain man, or
call him conceited ass Rather envy
him.-Sunday Times
