Why mcthusalah got SO Old.

We were upon the streets a few evenings
since, ard heard a most novel explanation of
tie astounding great age Of the above named
character. A number Of men were talking
of the recent conscript call and its effect upon
the people, when an old worthy remarked
"Weil, MI. -, baye studied along
while about it, and just now determined why
Methusalah got to lie so old. You see, in his
day there was a conscript law, and every time
a new call was made, old Methusalah run Ills
age up a hundred years, just enough to keep
him out of conscrip pit A heap of.men in these
days. are playing the sene dodge"
We could not help thinking to ourselves
t! at the old gentleman WAS quite right, ard
that men in these days grow old aarmingly
fact. One or two Of our acquaintance that
were only &c two years ago, arc now 46-
grown ten years in twol Verify, the war has
wrought out great wonders, such as were not
seen under the sun before. We are very much
afraid some of these gentlemen will die Of
CID age before they have q turn ats second
