Generations.

A generation is usually admitted to &C.
eupy, on an average, a space of thirty
three years. Hence arise some facts
which may be considered as rules in the
history of human nature. A man being
likely to be q father at thirty-three, will
probably be grandfather at sixty-six.-
Many are. of course, fathers and grand
fathers at earlier ages; but these are
averages. When we see at any time a
new born babe, we may calculate pretty
safely that the son of that babe, if he is to
have one, will be approaching the close of
life at good age about century hence.
We meet every day, in health and vigOr,
a gentleman whose father was born in
1870; but it is rare TO find any man capa-
bic Of business or social pleasure more
Chan hundred years after the birth of his
father. In like manner, any individual
who finds himself I'VE she'll say this year
At any particular stage OF life. NAV be as
snred of it as rule that his greatgrand-
iather was in just about the same stage Of
existence, and experiencing all its appro-
pirate sensations, aiming at much the
same objects, in the year 1753-that is,
hundred years ago. Does he see his son
at q particular stage Of life then his own
grandfather was at the same stage as that
son century ago, and SO on. There are
occasional exceptions Of surprising kind;
tor instance, Charles James. Fox, who d.
ed i'll 1906, at the age Of fifty-seven, had
all uncle who was Paymaster of the for
ces in 1919, the year Of the battle Of
Boutwell, Bridge. and his grandfather was
on the scaflold with Charles /. But the
rule is as stated. During any particular
decades as the forties, the fifties, &C.,
look into the obituary, and you will find
hat the old people then dying-of the
class who, being hest off, live longest
are, for the most part, the produce of the
eighth decade antecedent. Thus, for ex-
ample, the individuals born in the seven
ties in the last century, are the people
who are now closing their natural pilgrim
age in the ripeness of their days. 1t has
become rare to see an announcement of
the death of person born in the sixties:
and one in the fifties only occurs now and
then.
Thus overlooking the many premature
deaths, the obituary is like an index al
ways coming down nearer and nearer 10
our natal decade. Those whose births
take place in the eighties must soon be OF.
the outlool; for the arrival of the fatal FIN
ser at their point in mortuary chronology.
In a few more years the men Of the nine
ties will be in course; and so it goes on
Let US see TO improve the hours, and not
be taken unprepared.
