The Length of Human Life.
There is an article in BIackwood's Magazine
on this subject, from which we gain the follow
ing information: :
Infancy proper ceases at ten years, because
then the second t%oothing is completed-boy-
hood at twenty, because then the bones cease
to increase in length-and youth extends. to
forta because about that time the body ceases
ia increase in size. Enlargement OF bulk after
that period consist of fat, which weakens the
body and retares it's motion. When growth
has ceased, the body rests, rallies, and becomes
invigorated. This period Of i~nvigeration lasts
fifteen years, and maintains itself for Ten or ff-
teen more, when old age begins. The com

much sympathy. We mean the honest, indus.
trious, highminded poor, who have high notions
of life, and who in vain strive day after day,
and year after year in trying to better their
condition. Such poor are unhappy because
they desire to be somebody and are unable to-.
This class deserves we'll of those in better cir
cumstances. They deserve, their respect, their
sympathy and their assistance. What is more
affecting than to see an, honest, humble poor
person toiling from year to year to rise in the
world and never ascend one step. This class
desires to live decenty, respectfully, and com
fortaby. But if they had the necessarles OF
life they would perhaps be but little better sat-
isfed, for mans desires are Unsuitable. Man
is so constituted that his desires increase pari-
passu with the mears of gratifying them. The
more he acquires the more he desires. The
man that is worth one thousand dollars thinks,
that if he were worth ten thousand he would
be satisfied, but when he has accumulated the
ten thousand he desires hundred thousand,
and il fortune permits him to amass the hun
dred thousand, his desires are increased hun.
dred fold, and he longs to be millionaire, and
soon ad intfnitum. This is the disposition of
men in general. There may be exceptions,
but we think they are few and far betwecn.-
This is what we would be led to expect from
the study of mans moral constitution and
our experience and observation prove its cor
rectness. Such is man, either drone, a clog
upon society, or ever reaching after something
beyond his grasp. But you see my paper is
filled up. So good night. 1. Il.

this is then exposed to the cold night air, and
in the morning small quantity of oil is found

WHIsKEY AND NEwspApERs.-A glass o
whiskey is manufactured from perhaps dozer
grains of crushed corn-the value of which is
too small to be estimated. A pint Of this
mixture sells at retail for one shilling and if o
good brand it is considered by its consumers
as worth the money. It's drank off in min
ute or two-it fires the brain, rouSes the pas
>ions, sharpens the appetite, deranges and
weakens the physical system; it is gone--and
swollen eyes, parched lips and an aching head
are its followers.
On the same sideboard on which it is served
lies a newspaper, the new white paper of which
cost cent; the composition for the whole edi.
ton costing perhaps ten or fifteen dollars per
day. 1t is covered with perhaps half mil.
lion of types, and brings intelligence from the
four quarters of the globe. Ithas in its clearly
printed columns all that is new or strange at
home-it tells you the state of the market,
gives an account of the last elopement, the ex.
ecuton of the last murderer, and the latest
steamboat explosion or railroad disaster-and
vet tor all this, the newspaper costs less than
the glass of grog, the juice Of a few grains of
corn l. is no less strange than true, that there
are large portion of the community who think
the corn Juice cheap and the newspaper dear,
and the printer has hard work to collect his
dimes, when the liquor dealers are paid cheer
fully.
How is this? Is the body better paymas-
ter than the head, and are things Of the mo.
ment more priced than the things of eternitye

tional beinge If this had its real value, would

Early Character.

"TAere as nothing despise 50 Ja,& as to see
boy aCith cigar IN his mouth." Thus re-
marked one of the wealthy and most respected
business men of East Boston, standing at the
door of the Post, office waiting for the dstribu-
ton of letters, as boy walked in putting il
cigar S. mpathizing with the gentleman, we
fell into the following reflections:
We imagined that, in tie course Of human
events, this boy might be induced to apply at
tho gentleman's counting room for employment.
The merchants remembrance of his act OF
youthful dissipation would probably not be to
the benefit of the applicant. The merchant
would be likely to judge u"favourabIy of the
young mans character as to temperance ana
sobrety, and would think himself justified in
! doubling the independence and stamina of one
who, evidently, for no better reason than be-
cause others do, and probably because he
thought it would give him manly air, con,
tracated the offensive and unnatural habit OF
smoking in boyhood. The very acs would
seem to argue mental or moral deficiency, and
perhaps both The merchant, like majority
of well bred people is exceedingly annoyed
with the smell Of cigar smoke.-He deSpises
the practice of smoking, and cannot help no.
tcing the boy who exhibits it, or thinking in
such case, what the mental manifestation is.
With the boy. the act was a trihe, nothing.
To the man it was a revelation which told him
something Of youth Of whom he knew moth
ing before, aud that something was to his dis
credit.
| How different would have been the result, If
the first act of this boy, noticed by the mer'
chant, had been that rs one plainly spoke.oI
! integrity and good sense, as the act ofsmoking
did ofw eaknesS and frivolty Of character. The
man would have remarked that boy; and ifit
should ever have come in his way Ito render
him service, no testimonials would be needed
to secure his favor.
We would iain impress upon the young the
great importance of forming good habits. One
may forsake his boyhood', errors when he be.
comes man; but the chance is that instead OF
being rorsaken they will be aggravated, and
take OH rgidity which is like second nature
to the individual as he advances into manhood
Knowing this, people judge of young men by
what they knew Of them when boys, unless a
subsequent acquaintance gives them better
ground for the formation Of an opinion.-East

MaeNAS1MoUs REvENGE-The London
Morning Advertiser in speaking oil the expec,.
led visit of Louis Napoleon 10 the court Oh
Great Britain. and his installation as knight
of the Garter, says:
"The insignia of the Emperor of Russia as
knight companion of this most noble and an
cient order; consisting Of the banner, sword,
mantle, and helmet, retains its position over
one of the stalls in the Chapel Royal OF st.
George, hut it will no doubt be removed be-
fore the Emperor Of the FRENCH is installed
knight companion of this order. Whether
Sir Charles Young, as Garter-king at Arms
will quietly remove the disloyal knights 'nslg'
MIA, or whether, according to ancient CUSTOM
as described by Ashmole, they will be thrown
into the aisle, and swept from the chapel by
the choristers beyond the precincts of the cas-
tie, is not yet decided but we believe it has
been determined to remove the insignia OF the
recreaut knight to make way for those of her
Mojesty's iliustrious ally, tie Emperor Napo-
leon ILL.,"
If the British cannot pull down the flag OF
Nicholas at Sebastopol, and humble his pride
at Cronstadt, they can at least sweep away the
insignia of distinction which they urged him
to accept while their guest, and which he is
not there to protect. Truly n sneaking retalia'
ton! We wonder which will enjoy most heart
lily the sweets of revenge-the English court,
in thus furnishing "recreant knight" who ac'
ccpted their baubles at their urgent entreaty
or Louis Napoleon, who compels them to be-
stow the same upon him at the cost ofdeep hu
