are going up. People are going up up
town. Rents arc up. We do not know
that they can go higher. Everything, eat
able is constantly going up, up. Flour is
50 high at the grocer's that it refuses to rise
in the kitchen. A good many will be put
to raise bread, if -four rises any higher.
Coal is so high that many people can not
get it to GO down the coal slide to the GEL
lar. Notwithstanding it is constantly fall
ing through the grate-it takes great
deal Of money, seven dollars, to raise ton.
Firewood must have grown on tall trees,
or it never would stand up at present pri-
ces. Butter is so high-two and sixpence
per pound-that it will not go down poor
peoples throats; the supply comes from 50
far cup country" there is nothing low
about it, except quality. Potatoes have
been getting up ever since they were dug,
and it has been hard digging to make a
raise to reach them ever since. Beef,
though neither high fed, nor high bred, is
high priced enough to make up for both.
Sixteen cents pound for steak, warranted
as tough as any white oak. Our mutton
all comes from mountain sheep; the price
is above anything in the low lands. The
price of pork is enough to make the buyer
do what tue pig did when be was seized to
be killed. Chickens are all of Shanghai
breed; they are high enough. Turkeys
have grown quite out Of reach. Even
geese, short as their legs are, are able to
rise on wings above the vulgar herd
Ducks have got up, like flock out of a

History and Destiny of Coal.

According to announc, ment, Prof. AN.
DERsoN (of Lewisburg University lcctured
in the Baptist Church, Friday evening last,
(Dec 81 on the History aud Destiny Of
Coal. He had an intelligent and attentive
audience. The Lecturer displayed tho.
rough acquaintance with the subject, deep
research, and comprehensive views. He
proved satisfactorily that Coal was known
and mined in England at least as early as
the Roman Conquest-but afterwards was
lost sight Of for many centuries. The frs,
charter to dig Coal was granted by Henry 3
to the inhabitants of New Castle, abou,
the middle of the Thirteenth Century
(Hume, Vol. ii. p. 69). The Londoners
turned up their noses at the black fuel, and
prosecuted the use Of it for more than o
century, until an absolute scarcity of wood
compelled them to be less dainty in their
choice of fuel. Coal like every other good
thing has gnined its present Importance
through persecution.
In speaking of the Destiny of Coal, the
Professor drew some important conclusions

The law OF growth has, Tor sixty years,
been but slightly variant from "a per cent.
This is so fixed and certain that, allowing
for very little diminution of ratio, We may
assume 33A per cent Cor oue-third the exist
cnt popu,ation) rs the decimal increase OF
growth for the next half century. We may
predict, with almost certainty, that in 1910
(sixty years. the American Republic will
have one hundred and twenty millions of
people-an empire which, when its vigor,
resources and institutions are considered,
will in power exceed anything which exists
or has existed among nations.
The numerical law Of the sexes is thus
stated:
l. There arc more males than females
born, by about 1 per cent.
g At 20 years of age, this preponder-
ance is entirely lost, and there are more fe-
males than males.
3. At 40 years, the balance is again
the other way, and there are more males
than females.
4. ITO, the sexes are about even, and
the ultimate age Of the human being is
reached without auy decided advantage to
either sex.
Between 20 and 100 years Of age, there
are 1881 more white women than there
are males; being more than 5 per cent Of
the whole number Beyond the age of 40
years, the probabilities Of longevity are
much greater for American women than
for men. This contrasts singularly with
the fact, that physique( relatively )of Amer
ican women is inferior to that Of American
men. That fact, as is shown, however,
tells tremendously on women between the
ages of 20 and 40, when their mortality is
very great.
The general law of increase, Gndepen-
dent of immigration,) by natural causes
alone, is % per cent. decennially. This
is per cent. below the average increase
of the whites, and 10 per cent. below that
from 1910 to 1850. While the number
Of born foreigners in the United States is
less than 0 per cent, the number in the
comparative increase of single year is
large; rising in the last two or three years
to about half the whole increase The
original immigrants, however, rapidly die,
while their children are born on the soil

23o, 14S, POS, 227, down to Ahram (l75
years.D Now, where would our critic
draw the line between his ancient and his
modern modes of reckoning "years I" 1t
can not be satisfactorily done.
Most of the Oriental nations have trad
i,ions that in the early ages men lived to
the age of a thousand years.
The probability is that year is not
longer now than it was in the days of
Adam and of Noah. Mans physical as
well as his moral nature was originally
perfect. Sin had not then poisoned his
blood his food was plain his habits
were simple; the climate was and still is
extremely favorable to longevity. The
allowance Of flesh for food was speedily
followed by shortening of life and sin
with all its degradation and excuses, and
civilized refinement with all its luxuries
and weaknesses, have from generation to
generation reduced the vital power, until,
of all those born, not one in ten reach the
tbrce-score years and ten.
And yet, person blessed with good
constitution, Of which true care is taken
from infancy, may reach to the age of the
patriarch Abraham. Numerous instances
are on record of persons living to be 1870,
l40, and $50 years OLD "Old Parr" the
Englishman was l52. a shepherd named
Demetrius Gabrowsky died recently in
Poland, aged l69. William Edwds' tomb
in Cacry Church near Cardiff in county Of
Glamorgan (Wales,) states that he died
"a Feb. 1868, aged 16S. The cpitaph of
Henry jenkins, at Bolton-upon-Swale in
England, is well-authenticated. Died 9th
Dec. 1910. Though the partial world
despised and disregardcd bis low and hum
bic state, the equal eye of Providence be-
held and blessed it with patriarch's health
and length of days, To teach mistaken
man, these blessings were entailed on tenn
perancc life of labor, and mind at
ease he lived to the amazing age Of .69

proper evidence, is found in the following
