The passions kill men sometimes, even
suddenly. The common expression,
choked with passions, has little exagger.
alton in it for even though not sudden.
ly fatal, strong passions shorten life.
Strong-bodied men often die young
weak men live longer than the strong,
for the strong use their strength, and
the weak have none to use The latter
take care of themselves the former do
not. As it is with the bodyso it is with
the mind aud temper The strong are
apt to break or, like the candle to run;
the weak burn out. The inferior ami.
mails, which live, in general, regular and
temperate lives, have generally their
prescribed term Of years. The horse
lives twenty five years the OK fifteen or
twenty the lion about twenty the dog
ten or twelve the rabbit eight; the
guineapig six or seven years. These
numbers all bear o similar proportion TO
the time the animal takes to grow to its
full size. But man, of all the animals,
is the one that seldom comes up to his
average. He ought to live hundred
years, according to this physiological
law, for five times twenty are one hun
dred but instead of that be scarcely
reaches, on the average, four times his
growing period; the cat six times and
the rabbit even eight times the standard
of measurement.-Thc reason is obvious
man is not only the most irregular,
and the most Incorporate, but the most
laborious and hard worked of all animals.
He is also the most irritable of all ami.

though we cannot tell what an animal
secretly feels, that more than any other
animal, man cherishes wrath to keep it
warm, and consumes himself with the
fire of his OVID secret reflections Black.
