WIT AND HUM0R.

Owing to new phase in politics, Dobbs
was elected to the Legislature. Though
gratified, he was also lntimidated by the
honor, and but for the thought that he
was not necessarily obliged to speak would
have declined serving. AS it was, he ac.
cepted.
All things went on smoothly for time.
Mr.. Dobbs could vote on other people's
motions, though he couldn't make any
himself. One unlucky day, however, the
the proceedings being rather dull, and Mr..
Dobbs rather thirsty, he concluded to 60
over to Congress Hall and get glass OF
lemonade. AS he rose to leave the Hall
he caught the Speakers eye. The Speak
or supposed he intended to address the
House, and accordingly announce in a
loud voice
"Mr. DobLs."
Dobbs started as if he had been shot.
The assembled wisdom Of the State had
their eyes fixed upon him. IIe pulled
out his pocket handkerchief to wipe away
pcrspiration, and feeling il necessary to
say something, blundered out

lhe cat only grows year and ahalf, but
lives nine or ten. The hare grows one
year, and lives eight. The guinea pig
grows seven months and lives six or sey-
en- years. Man Is certainly one of the
larger animals, and as he grows fol TWEEN
years he ought to live hundred.
nj. Flourens a recent French writer of
high character, thinks that science viii!
teach men how to prolong their lives to
two hundred years, and that the average
duration of life will be century and a
half; one century Of complete active life,
and half century of gradual painless de-
cay. AT present, however, he thinks we
mnst be contented with the following pro-
gramme For the first ten years of life,
we are infants; the second ten is the peri
od of boyhood; from twenty to thirty is
the first YOUTH from thirty to forty is the
second youth; the first manhood is from
forty to fifty-iive; the complete manhood
fr' m fifty-fve to seventy; from seventy to
eighty-fve is the first period Of old age;
and at eighty-five the second period Of old
age commences. That, according to NJ.
Elourcns, is the natural life Of man, unas-
sislel 10y science, unperververted by lux
urv.
And these divisions are not imaginary
or arbitrary. Infancy proper, observes Mr..
Flouens ceases at ten years, because then
the second toothing is completed-boy-
hood at twenty, because the bones cease
then to increase in length-and youth ex-
tends to forty, because about that time
the body ceases to increase in size. En-
largemcnt of bulk after that period, con-
sists chiefly in the accumulation of fat
The real development of the parts Of the
body has already ce%sed. Instead Of in
creasing the strength and activity, this
latter growth weakens the body and re-
tards its motion. Then when growth has
ceased, the body rests, rallies and becomes
inrigOrated. Like a fortress with all its
works complete, its garrison in full num-
bers, and threatened with an early siege, it
repairs, arrangcs,disposes everything with
in itself. The new stores it daily receives
are employed in fully equipping, in
strengthening, in rebuilding, and in main
tanning every part in the greatest perfec-
tioE and efficiency. The period of inter
nal invigoration lasts fifteen years Chat

self for ten or fifteen years more, when
old ago begins.
Only age begins when the strength of
the day is only sufficient for the days av-
erage requirements, and when unusual ex-
erlion causes painful fatigue. In man.
hood there is reserve Of strength; in old
age we use all We have.
Moderation is the key to old age; mod
Grafton in labor and enjoyment; modera-
ton in eating and drinking; moderation
in feeling and thinking. Few people die;
the majority are sc!f.murdercrs, commit
ting suicide by degrees. That is virtu-
GUS community in which there are many
hale old men and women. That is an ig-
noble people among whom many children
die, and many youths are sick. For the
health Of people, as Miss Martincau used
to maintain, is the test Of it. morality
She never uttered a truer word.
