FACTS IN HUMAN LIEE. The num-
Der of men is about equal to the num-
Der Of women, The average of hu-
man life is 80 years. One quarter die
before the age of I, one half before the
age of II. OF every 1000 persons,
only one reaches 100 years. OF every
100 only 6 reach SIS, and not more
than one in 500 reaches the age of so
years. There are on earth /, 900, OOO.-
600 of inhabitants. Of these SO. 333.-
a33 die every year, 91,824 die every
day, $3.50 every hour, and so every
minute, CIR one for every second. -
These losses are about balanced by an
equal number of births. The married
are longer laved than the SINGLE, and
above al, those who observe sober
and industrious conducs, Women
have more chances of life previous to
the age of so years than men, but
fewer after. The number of marri-
ages Is in proportion of Is to 100.

A VERY HARD CAsE:-The New
York Tunes tells the following:
An enterprisiug young man in
Albany, a few days ago, who had what
he considered valuable medicine,
which he wished to sell for the benefit
of mankind, prevailed upon an old
fellow of his acquaintance to join him
i'll business, and furnish him with the
necessary capital. He came to New
York, and at once entered upon q most
profligate and ruinous course of adver-
Using which at last excited tho alarm
Of the old gentleman in Albany, who
came down to inspect the accounts eff
the concern, and to his utter eonster-
natian he discovered that his pradigal
partner had spent his entire capital
the first year in advertising But OK
aiming little further, he discovered
that there was placed to his credit
more than FIVE times the amount of
the capital he had furnished, as his
share of the profits. The establishment
of the poor old gentleman proved too
much for him, fol he went home and
died in a fit. If merchants do not
want to get rich too fast they should
be careful not to advertise.
