The Age OF Man.

Few men die of age Almos, all per.
sons die Of disappointment, passional,
mental or bodily toll, or accident. The
passions kill men sometimes even sudden
ly. The common expression, "choked
with passion" has little exaggeration in
it, for even though not suddenly fatal.
strong passions shorten life. Strong bodied
men often die youns-weak men live lon
ger 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 body
so 1t is with the mind and temper. The
strong are apt to break, or, like the candle
run; the weak burn out The inferior
animals which live 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 hog ten or twelve; the rabit eight
The numbers all bear proportion to the
time the animal take to grow to full size.
But man, Of all animals, is the ono that
seldom comes up to the average. He
ought to live hundred years, according
to this physiological law, for Eve times
twenty are one hundred; bat instead of
that be rarely reaches an average Of four
times the growing period. The reason is
obvious. Man is not only the most ire
gular and the most. incorporate, but the
most laborious and hard worked of AMI
mails. lie is always the most irritable,
and there is reason to believe, though we
cannot tell what other animals feel, tha,
more than they, man cherishes wrath tc
keep it warm, and consumes himself with
the FIRE of his own reflections.

Bug story.

A good thing never dies Some eiRh:
years ago, friend Turner, Of the Grand
Rapids Eagle, had occasion to stop at the
Kalamazoo House, and owing ito some
misunderstanding with the landlord, fail
ed to have the requisite "chalk' admins
tered as doth seem fit for the editor Of .
widely circulated journal. Not being
maliciously disposed however, he gave the
hotel and its ''inhabitants" the following
first rate notice -
"iou see 1 went to bed pretty alfred
used up, after hull day on the old road
before the plank was laid, kalkilatin' on .
good snooze. Waal, just as the shivers
began to ease off, l kinder felt sutbin'
trying to pull of my shirt, and diggin their
teeth into the small Of my back to get a
hold. Wriggled and twisted and puckered
all no use-kept goiu' it like all sin.
Bimeby got up and struck light, to
look around a spell-found about peck
Of bed-bugs scattered around, aud more
droppin' off my shirt and running down
my legs every minute. Swept of place
on the floor, shook quilt, lay down, and
kivored up for nap.
mo use, no use-mounted right on mo
like passel Of rats on a meat tub-dug
hole in the kiverlid, crawled through and
give me fits.
Got up again, and went down stairs,
and got the slush bucket from the wagon,
brought it up. and made circle in tho
hoor-lay down on the aoor, on the inside,
and felt comfortable that time anyhow.-
Left the light burnin', and watched 'em.
See 'em gettin together to ha,o . camp
meetu' abou. it, and then they went of in
= squad, with an old grey headed one ss
the top--right up the wall, out on to the
ceilin', till they got to the right spot, and
then dropped plum into my face. Fact,
by thunder.
"Wall, swept them up again, and made
a circle Of tar on the ceiliui, too. Thought
had 'em foul that time, but swan to
man, if they didn't pull straws out Of q
bed, end build regular bridge across.
Seeing an incredible expression upon
our visage, he clinched the story thus -
"1t's so, whether you believe it or not
and some of 'em walked across on stills !
Beg bugs are curious critters, and no mis-.
take, especially the Kalamazoo kind.
