The Age of Man.

Few men die of age Almost all persons die
of disappointment, passion, mental bodily
toll, or accident. The passions kill men some
times even suddenly. The common expression.
'choked with passion, has little exaggeration in
it, for even though not suddenly fatal, strong
passion shortens life. Strong-bodied menEofteD
die young-weak men live longer than the strong,
for the strong use their strength, and the weak
have none to use. The latter take care of them
selves; the former do not. AS it is with tho
body, so it is with the mind and temper. The
strong apt to break, or like the candle, run;
the weak burn out. The inferior animals which
live temperate lives have generally their pre-
seribed term of years. The horse lives twenty
five years; the hog ten twelve; the rabbit
eight; the Guinea pig six seven. They num-
Der all their proportion to the time the animal
takes to grow to it's full size. But man of all
animals, is one that seldom comes to the average
He ought to live hundred years, according to
this physiological law, for five times twenty are
hundred; but instead of that, he scarcely reach
average of two times the growing period
The reason is obvious-man is not only the most
irregular and the most Incorporate. but the MOST
laborious and hard worked Of all animals and
there is reason to believe, though cannot tell
what animal scarcely feels, that more than
any other animal, man cherishes wrath to keep
it warm, and consumes himself in the fire OF his
Of his own reflections.

THE Cost OF SANITARY SUPPLIEs.-Of every
100000 worth of supplies sent by the Sanitary
Commission for the army two years ago, 800, 900
came directly from the people, without any
money cost to the Commission. AT the present
time, of every 100000 worth of supplies sent by
the Sanitary Commission to the army, at least
$50, 900 worth must be bought with ready money.
This condition of things arises from the fact that
the homes themselves, from constant giving from
material on hand, have become exhausted, and
the people, who have contributed so largely to
the SANITARY Fairs feel much less called upon
than heretofore to go outside of their homes and
purchase material. Hence, assuming that dur
ing the coming six months the Commission find
occasion for distributing an amount of goods
equal to that distributed last year. in the
pondng term of time, the money derived from
all the Fairs will do no more than carry the
Commission through the coming summer.

THE GREATGUNs.-McClella who took Bona
parte as his military model, encountered the
Army of the Potomac with immense bodies of
light artillery, organized into batteries of six
pieces of like calibre. Grant, who believes in
the bayonet, has reduced each battery to four
guns, two ten-pounders and two twelve-pound-
ers, and he has broken up what was known as
the reserve artillery The two splendid light
horse batteries, in which every man is mounted
and every gun and caisson is drawn by light
horses, are kept up. There are also two siege
trains, which may soon be sending metallic COM
pliments across the James river into Richmond
and train of cohorn mortars
THE emigration to Now York is now OF the
rate of 200 900 for the year. About three Irish to
one German are coming; and large majority
are malice.

A MOTHERS GRAvE.-Earth has some sacred
spots, where we feel like loosing the shoes from
our feet, and treading with holy reverence
where common words of pleasure are uniting
places where friendships hands have fingered
in each other, where vows have been plighted,
prayers offered and tears of parting shed. How
the thoughts hover around such Places and
travel back through unreasonable space to
visit them. But of all the spots on the green
earth, none is so sacred that where rests
waiting the resurrection, those we once loved
and cherished. Hence, in all ages, the better
portion of mankind have chosen the spots where
they have loved to wander at even tide. But
among charnel houses of the dead, if there is
one spot more sacred than the other, it's moth
er's grave. There sleeps the mother of our in
fancy-she whose heart was stranger to every
other feeling but love, and who could always
find excuses for us when we could find mono
ourselves. There she sleeps, and we love thu
very earth for her sake.

A GRAIN OF GoLD.-Edward Everett is the
most elegant rhetorician in America. Here is a
little allegory taken from of his agricultural
speeches. rs it not a gem ?
Drop grain of California gold III the ground,
and there it will remain unchanged to the end
of time. The clods on which it falls are not more
cold and lifeless Drop grain of blessed
gold into the ground, and 10! mystery. In
few days it softens-it swells-it shoots up
wards-it is living thing. 1t is yellow itself,
but it sends up an emerald green through the
soil-it expands to vigorous stalk-revels in
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. glorious than Solomon,
in its broad, futtering, leafy robes whose sound,
as the west wind whispers through them, falls
as pleasantly on the busbandmans ear as the
rustic of his sweethearts garments; still towers
aloft, spins it's verdant skeins of vegetable ioss
displays its dancing tassels charged with ferti-
lizing dust, and at last ripens into two or three
magnificent batons like this, IAN ear of Indian
corn,) each of which is studded with hundreds of
grains of gold, every one possessing the same
wonderful properties as the parent grain every
one instinct with the same productive powers"

Mount Ararat.

Ararat then stood before US seemingly more
vast and towering than when we started. On
comparing it with the surrounding mountains,
1t certainly seemed three times higher than any
of them. 1t impressed me more than anything
I had seen since left Constantinople. Certain
ly, after Jerusalem, there are few localities more
interestering in scrptural point of view than
Ararat, and in itself it is wonderful object
The first thing that struck me was the exceed
Ing fitness of the place for the resting of the ark
On the very sumit is a platform or terrace with
three descents, and then long ridge giving the
Idea of very practicable passage down to lower
hills. Then the region below is suited for til
tage, and above all, for the culture of the grape
of which Noah seems to have set the example.
Apropos Of this, I observed an old man, a very
patriarch, with gray beard, and a comedy strip
ling, with black, close curling locks going forth
to their work in the fields. They We're just such
figures as painter might have taken for Noah
and his son Ham. Practicable the ascent of
Ararat looks, and proof though there be Of its
having been lately assembled, the belief in the
country round is that no one but disciple of the
Saviour has ever been to the top. The legend
saith that his prayers obtained for him permits
sion to ascend but that he never came back, and
remains on the sumit in blissful trance. To
look at the peak however, one would not fancy
heightened sOjourn there desirable. There is
not tree nor rock to shelter one, and, as
Rahim said to me, it looks like place from
which strong wind would blow man away.
On the side facing the road to Kamarlu there is
tremendous yawning fissure surmounted by
perpendicular precipices, and thence to the sum-
nit was an unbroken line of snow. I continued
to turn perpetually to gaze at this glorious
mountain till the evening, and then at ninety
versts distance it lowered still, the monarch of
all the ranges around, and far above the Lesser
Ararat, which, when was close, seemed almost
as high.-EdstVicks Three Years Residence an

BLACK SoLDIERs.-The question as to the cour-
age of the black troopshas been definitely settled
by the campaign now going on in Virginia, Gen.
Butler reports that the hardest fighting at Peters,
burg .Uos done by them, and such as none but the
bravest could stand. Gen. Smith, whom they
were under, rendered them his thanks, stating
chat hewas proud of their courage and dash.

THE President in reply to a resolution of in
quiry, has sent to the Senate a communica-
ton from the Secretary of State, from which it
appears that no authority has been given by the
Executive of this Government or by any execu-
tive department., to any one either in this coun-
try elsewhere, to obtain recruits either in Ire
land or in Canada, or in any foreign country for
either army or navy of the United States, and on
the contrary, that wherever application for such
authority has been made, it has been refused and
absolutely withheld.

that all the functionGries and officers
should unite, harmonize, and co-ope-

vigilance are necessary on the part of
the home sentinels to guard against any
insidious attempt on the part Of an in

undermine and destroy the very things
we are fighting to preserve and uphold.

thing is certain, it matters not how good
a government any people may have, if
It IS badly administered the people
must suffer. In short, I conclude it is
better for the people that they have a
defective government well administered
than good government badly admin
