LONGEVITY or MENTAL lIGoR.

We have an illustration Of the slgOr oil
intellect which may be retained IN old age,
in the Prime Minister Of England, and in The
President aud Secretary Of this Republic.
Lord Pallnerston Is nOs seienty-tso years
Of age. and still he bears up braseis under
lir lln.iehss responsibilities ot hls station.
President Buchanan j. sixty-eight, and yet
fall Of ,igOr. Mr. Cass is seventy fur, and
is esteemed worthy TO fill the laborious Office
of Secretary Of State. These men haze been
active, thinking mtn all their lives. They
have not allowed their minds 10 rust hy in
dolence; but while their bodily strength has
failed from weight of wears, the mind has re-.
tanned its yigor.
Its the experience of men 10 all genera.
iions, that mental discipline and active ser.
vice are the best and almost sure presentiSes
nf decline Of intellectual yigor IN old age.
This shows the importance OF mental culture
aud active service aud the folly Of retiring
from business aud seeking release from the
responsibilities 81 life. Every man should
study never 10 consider himself too old 10
learn, and never fear to commence the mas
terry Of new fields Of knowledge. The very
activity that constant study and research
keep up, adds immensely TO the volume Of
actual life. Socrates learned TO PLAY on
musical instruments when he was old Cato
studied the Greek language when he was
eighty; Plutarch studied Latin when about
the same age Theophrastus began one 81 bis

Ol their minds in early life not despair, and
By all means let them not delay longer
Though they nav not wholly redeem Ii,
time that is lost, they may redeem that which
is to come. Ministers Of the Gospel especial
" should double their diligence in study Al

The Calcutta correspondent of the Lon
don Times pays the following grateful tri-
butte to the memory of this departed hero:
"The deceased General" he says, "has
been a prominent character in Indian history
for nearly twenty years. He was one of the
few who passed through the Afghan cam
paiens with added reputation. In the first
Puniaub war he was Lord Hardinge's most
trusted friend. A slight, spare man, about
FIVE feet five inches in height, with an ema..
ciated face and an eagle eye, he belonged
emphatcally to the class who have never to
contend with disobedience or mutlny. As a
general, he was the best tactician we have
had in India; and as an officer, though stern,
and sometimes exacting, his antique heroism
made him the idol of his men. He was,
indeed, perhaps the bravest man IN his own
army, and was never so chatty or agreeable
az under fire. Like most of our Indian
statesmen and sodie rs,the Lawrences, Ed
wards, Nicholson. Montgomery, and many
others, he was a Christian of the old stamp :;
a strong, God-fearing Puritan man, who
thought often in Scriptural phrase. aud
deemed il no shame to teach his soldiers to
pray. ",'rurn out the saints" said Lord
Cough on one occasion, when he anticipated
desperate work; Hayelock never plumbers,
and his men are never drunk Z"

The election Of the 4th of January was
held alter the regular official election by
which the constitution was adopted. No ct.
fetal returns Of this last election have been
received.
The provision in the constitution, that II
shall not be changed before 1864, is invalid,
and il can be changed At any time by the
will Of the people. New York has now
constitution made contrary to the provisions
Of previous constitution.
The exclusion Of Kansas under this con.

Its admission would restore peace andqulet t.

THE UYRERsIry.--The American Almanac
contains list Of the Colleges, with number
Of Students, &c., in the United States. from
which il appears that the number OF UNDER
graduates in our University, by the Catalogue
Of 1867. was greater than the number IN
any other Institution in the country except
Yale. The Almanac states the number a.
42i. but il should be l5i, the actual number.
The Catalogue for the present year. ls57-
s, has not been published, we believe but
we understand there is an increase over the
previous number Of Students.
We are glad TO learn that the Trustees
have appropriated $4,000 10 enlarge and
improve the Chapel. and to construct two
new edfecs. These last have been much
needed, as the limited number OF rooms IN
the College buildings has obliged mani
students 10 rent rooms in the village, at
