Morbid Nervousness.

The morbid nervousness of the pres
ent day appears in several ways. 1t
brings man sometimes to that startled
state that the sudden opening of door,
the clash Of the falling fire irons, Or
any little accident, puts him in a flutter
How nervous the late Sir Robert Peel
must have been when, a week before
His death, he went to the Geological
Gardens, and, when monkey suddenly
sprang upon his arm, the great and
worthy man tainted! Another phase
of nervousness Is, when a man is brought
to that state that the least noise or cross
occurrence seems to jar through the en-
tire nervous systemic upset him, as
We say; when he cannot command his
mental powers except in perfect still
ness, or IN the chamber, and at the
writing-tab to which he is accustomed;
when, in short, he gets fidsety, easily
worried, full of whims and fancies,
which must be indulged and considered,
or he is quite out Of sorts. Another
phase of the same morbid condition is
when human being is impressed with
vague, underlined fears that things are
going wrong; that his income will not
meet the demands upon it; that his
lungs are affected; that his mental
powers are leaving him-a state of feel
ing which shades rapidly off into positive
insanity. Indeed, when matters remain
long in any of the fashions which have
been described, | suppose the natural
termination must be disease Of the heart,
or shock Of paralysis, or insanity in
the form either of mania or idiotcy.
Numbers Of commonplace people, who
could feel very acutelys but who could
not feel what they have felt, have been
worried into fatal heart disease by pro-
longed anxiety and misery. Every
one knows how paralysis laid its hand
upon Sir Walter Scott, always great,
lastly heroic. Protracted anxiety how
to make the ends meet, with a large
family and an uncertain income, drove
Southey's first wife into the lunatic
asylum; and there is hardly more
touching story than of her fears and
forebodlngs through nervous attacks
year after year. Not less sad was the
end Of her overwrought husband IL
blank vacuity nor the like end oi
Thomas Moore. And the saddest H.
stance of an overdriYen nervous system
was the end Of that rugged, honest
wonderful genius, Hugh Miller.
SAYS beautifully. Mr.. Longfllow: Sunday
is the golden clasp that birds together the vol
ume of the week.

The UNION RECORD.
Ripe Old Age.

The man that dies youngest, as might
be expected, perhaps, is the railway
brakeman. HIS average age is only p.
Yet this must be taken with some al
lowance, from the fact that hardly any
but young and active men are employed
in the capacity.
At the same age dies the factory
workwoman, through the combined in
fuence Of confined air, sedentary pos
ture, scant wages, and unremitting toll
Then comes the railway baggagema
who is smashed, on an average, at 30.
Milliners and dress makers live but
little longer. The average Of the one
Is 81, and the other 80.
The engineer, the fireman, the con
ductor, the powder maker, the well dig
ger, 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 confection-
er, the cigar maker, the printer, the
silyersmith, the painter, the shoecutter,
the engraver, and the machinist, all of
whom lead confined lives in an unwhole-
soue atmosphere, none Of them reach
~ average age Of 40.
The musician blows his breath all out
Of his body at 40. The editor knocks
himself into PI at the same age.
Then comes the trades that are ac-
ave or in a purer air. The baker lives
to the average age of 10, the butcher
to 40, the brickmaker to II, the car
penter to 10, the furnace man to A.,
the mason to rs, the stoneeutter to 43,
the tanner to 10, the tinsmith to 81, the
weaver to A, the drover to 40, the cook
to 45, the inn-keeper to 46, the laborer
A, the domestic servant, female to 43.
The tailor lives till 42, the tailoress to
II.
Why should the barber live till 80, if
not to show the virtue there is in per-
sonal neatness in soap and water!
Those who average over half cen
tury among the 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 81, the
cooper till 56, the wheelright till so.
The miller lives to be whitened with the
age of 81. The rope-maker lengthens
the threads of life to 81. Merchants
wholesale and retail till 81.
Professional men live longer than is
generally supposed. Litigation kills
clients sometimes, but seldom lawyers,
for they average 55. Physicians prove
their usefulness by prolonging their own
lives to the same period. Clergyman,
who it is to be presumed, enjoy a grea-
ter mental serenity than others, last till
65.
Seafaring life, and its adjuncts, seem
instead Of dangerous, to be actually
conducive to longlivity. We have al
ready seen that the shipright lives till
Sc. The sailor averages IS, the caulk-
or 63, the sailmaker 81, the stevedore
81. the ferryman 90, and the pilot 64.
A dispensation of Providence that
men may consider incomprehensible is
that brewers and distillers live to the
ripe old age of 64.
Last and longest lived come paupers
81, and gentlemen -. The only two
classes that do nothing for themselves,
and live on their neighbors, outlast all
the rest. Why should they wear out
when they are always idle!
