RIPE OLD AGE.'-The man that dies youngest as might be expected, perhaps, is the Railway Brakeman. His average age is only z7. Yet this must be taken with some allowance, from the fact that hardly any but young and active men are employed in tho capacity.
 At the same age dies the factory work women, through the combinsdi influence of confined air, sedentary posture, scaut wages. and unremitting toll.
 Then comes the railway baggageman, who is smashed on ah average, at 30. +..
 Milliuers and dressmakers live but little lon- ger. The average of the one is B, and the other B.
 The engineer, the fireman, the powder ma ker, the wall digger, and the factory operative, all of whom are exposed to sudden and violent deaths, die on an average under the age of 35.
 The cutler the dyer, the leather dresser. the apothecary, the confectiouer, the cigar maker, the printer, the siversmith, the painter. the shoe cutter, the engraver, and the machinist, all of whom lead confined lives in an unwhole. some atmosphere, none of them reach the average age of 40.
 The musician blows his breath out of his body at 40 The editor knocks himself into pa at the same age..
 Then come trades that are active or in c purer air. The baker lives to an average age of 43, the butcher to 49, the brickmaker to 47, the carpenter to 49 the furnace.man 10 A, the mason to AS, the stone-cutter to 43, the tanner to 49. the tinsmith to Al, the weaver to A, the droyer to 40, the cook to 45. the inn-keeper to 46, the laborer to A, the domestic servant (femae) to 43. The tailor lives to 43, the tailoress to IL -ItsSs1z
 Why should thsibarber live till 50. if not to show the virtue there is in personal neatness in soap and water2
 Those who average over halfa century .. mong mechanics, are those who keep their muscles and lungs in healthful and moderate exercise, and are not troubled with weighty cares. The blacksmith hammers till 5l, the cooper till 59, the builder till 52, the shipwright till 90. The miller lives to be whitened with the age of 6l. The ropemaker lengthens the thread of life to 54. Merchants wholesale and retail till 52.
 Professional men live longer than is gener- ally supposed. ' Litigation kills clients some. times, but seldom lawyers, for they average 55. Physicians prove their usefulness by prolonging their own lives to the same period. Clergymen, who 1t is to be presumed, enjoy q greater men, tai ser nifty than others last till 65.
 Seafaring life and its adjuncts seem, instead of dangerous, to be actually conductive to longevity. We have already seen that the shipwright lives till 65. The sailor averages 43, the caulker GA, the sail.maker 52, the Ste- vedore, 57, the ferryman 65, and the pilot 64.
 A dispensation of Providence that Maine Law" men may consider incomprehsnsible is, that brewers and distil!ers live to the ripe old age of 64.
 Last and lonsest-ived come paupsrs 67, and gentlemen 6s. The only two classes that do nothing for themselves, and 1.-Two on their neighbors, outlast all the rest. Why should they wear out, when they are always idle.- Scienttfc American.

A PRACTICAL PREAcHER.-A preacher who came the other day to officiate at a village in Lincolnshire, has been led to believe by his brethren that the inhabitants were very stingy towards their spiritual P: ITS. According. ly at the conclusion of tl# V ice, he thus ad- dressed the congregation ' My brethren. I have bsen given to understand that there is very current notion entertained by many in this village, that the local preacher or prayer leader, whose appointment may be fixed in this village, is in his nature something entirely spiritual, or in other words, an angel.- Now am determined to give you to under stand that such n,tion is all moonshine, and that we really are men of the flesh and blood with yourselves, subject to all the ills that flesh is heir to, and that you may see how en- tirely wrong you have been in entertaining such notion, will show you what shall do with it." Here the preacher produced alarge piece of bread aud meat. and began to eat. For tie courageous hint, we have no doubt he will receive the thanks and prayers of the brethren.-London Enquirer.

An inventive Yankee has produced an ap- paratus which he says is Q cure for snoring. He fas.ens upon the nose 6 gutta.percha tube leading to the tyInpanum of the ear. Whenever the snorer snores, he himself ie- ceives the first impression, fads how disa- greeable it is, and. of course, reforms.

A Coop PREAcHER.-lt was said to bro- ther, :" You were destitute of preaching at your house yesterday, I understand "No," was the response, " we had the apostle Paul for our preacher. We read the fourth and fifth chapters of Ephesians. and most excel lent discourse it was too. Though an old preacher, do not see but he is as eloquent as our common ministers; certainly he is as sound in the doctrines.''

The orator is for an edi6ce. the newspaper for world. The one shines for all time. The orator may be compared to the lightning, which flashes over valley for moment, but leaves it again in darkness the newspaper is the sun, blazing steadily over the whole earth, and fixed on the basis of its own eternity.
 Nay such sentiments had better apply to the Bible. Newspapers are we'll enough in their place but though Heaven and Earth may pass away, Gods own eternal and immu- table Word shall never pass away.

WHEN THIS CRUEL WAR IS OVER.


 WHEN THIS CRUEL WAR IS OVER. BY STEPHEN 0. FOSTER. Dearest love, do you remember When we last did meet, How you told me that you loved mo, Kneeling at my feet! Oh how proud you stood before me, In your suit of blue, When you vowed to me and Country, Ever to be true!
 Weeping sad and lonely; Hopes and fears. how vain;
 Yet praying, when this cruel war is over
 Praying that we meet again! When the summer breeze is signing, Mournfully along, Or when autumn leaves are falling, Sadly breathes the song. Oft. in dreams, see thee lying On the battle plain, Lonely, wounded, even dying, Calling, but in vain.
 Weeping, sad and lonely, &c. If, amid the din of battle, Nsbly you should fall, Far away from those who love you, None to hear you call: Who would whisper words of comfort, Who would sooths your pain! An! the many cruel fanciss Ever in my brain.
 Weeping, sad and lonely, &c. But. our Country called you, darling, Angels cheer your way; While our nations sons are fighting, We can only pray. Nobly strike for God and Liberty, Let all nations see How we love our Starry Banner, Emblem of the free!
 Weeping. sad and lonely, &c.

FaoN FORTRESS MONROE.

While all attention is absorbed by the
great movements in Pennsylvania, at
Eicksburg, Toliahoma, DC, there is a side
movement going on i'll the vicinity of
Richmond that may yet cut considerable
figure. There is no doubt but quite
formidable force, the Richmond papers
say 10000 men, under command of Gen.
Dix, including Keyes' corps and possibly
some of Fosters North Carolina troops,
landed on the 9th June at Ehite House,
with the intention, If found practicable, to
move Immediately upon and take kich-
moud. Before making this movement,
Gen. Dix had sent Col. Spear, with a con
siderable cavalry force, on tour Of dis
coyery through the country from White
House all the way to the Rappahannock
above Fredericksburg. He found few reb
els anywhere, and destroyed a number OF
important bridges, large wagon train on
the way to Lee, &c. At Hanover c. II. he
get small rebel cavalry force under Gen.
Fitz Hugh Lee, whom he defeated in a
short fierce battle, taking Gen. Lee and 30
others prisoners. The information he
gathered, it is said, satisfied Gen. Dix that
but a small rebel force was guarding Rich
mond, and Gen. Keys is said to have told
his men that by Thursday cd inst they
should be in Richmond. By the Rich
mond papers it is evedent that the people
there are in 4 great panic, not only fearing
Dix, but believing that Gen Foster is all
SO about TO pouuce upon them from the
South.
