Will appear at first rather insensibIy under
externals, but will grow to terrible reality.
AT trst they viii only wish to look at the
moon through separate windows; but very
soon it will be as Hood says, and they viii
want separate moons to look at /; and, lastly
there will be no moon, at all, for all the ro-
nance Of life will have departed, and its
soft silvery light will have gone out in total
darkness.
The other mistake is that of supposinQ
the happiest marriages must be union ol
congenial tastes and pursuits. Just the OBJ
poslte, we think is true. What does one
want OF another who is just like himself,
and is not complementary of his own imper-
feet being? As Mr.. Emerson puts it ''they
must be very two before they can be very
one. The more two the better. Idea
men want practical wives, ideal wives wan
practical men and then, the earth-side anl
the heayen-side of life are put together, i
rounds it to glorious completeness. Bu
they must be put together by inter-pene
tration, and not by soldering or, as Swed
enborg says, they must be coaoined ana
not aoJoiaed.

DURATION OF LIFE.

The average duration of life of man in
civilized society is about thirty-three and a
third years. This is called a generation,
making three In century. But there are
certain localities and certain communities OF
people where this average is considerably
extended. The mountaineer lives longer
than the lowlander; the farmer than the ar
tisan; the traveller than the sedentary; the
temperate than the selfindulgent; the just
than the dishonest. ''The wicked shall not
live out half his days, . is the announcement
of Divinity. The philosophy ofthis is found
in the fact, that the moral character has a
strong power over the physical; power
much more controlling than is generally
imagined The true man conducts himself
in the light of Bible precepts; is temperate
in all things; is ''slow to anger" and on his
grave is written ''He went about doing
good In these three things are the great
elements of human health; the restraint of
the appetites; the control of the passions;
and that highest type of physical exercise,
going about doing good tits said of the
eminent Quaker philanthropist, Joseph
John Gurney that the labor and pains be
took to go and see personally the objects OF
his contemplated charities, SO that none Of
| lltCui suuulu U6 uHNoIbillly U6StUNGu, Nds
of itself almost the labor of one man, and he
attended 20 his immense banking business;
in fact he did too much, and died at sixty.
The average length of human life, Of all
countries, at this age of the world, is about
twenty eight years. One-quarter of all who
die do not reach the age of seven; one-hali
die before reaching seventeen; and yet the
average of life of Friends, in Great Brit
ain and Ireland, in 1860, was nearly fifty -si1
years, just double the average life of Other
people Surely this is strong inducement
for all to practice for themselves, and to in,
culcate it upon their children day by day,
that simplicity of habit, that quietness O.
demeanor, that restraint of temper, thai
control Of the appetites and propensities
and that orderly, systematic, and even mode
of flife, which Friends " discipline incul
Gates, and which are demonstrably the means
of so largely increasing the average of hu
man existence.
Reasoning from the analogy of the anima
creation, mankind should live nearly an hun
dred years; that law seeming to be, that lif'
should be five times the length of the periot
of growth; at least, the general observation
is, that the longer persons are growing, tn,
longer they live-other things being equal

PROFANITY.

The people of this land are certainly dis
tlnguIshed, to an extent unknown in other
| countries, except perhaps Great Britain, by
! profaneness A stranger might infer from
the tone OF popular conversation, from the
| exclamatlons OF excited individuals, from
the clamors OF anger and passion, that we
acknowledge the Almighty for no other
purpose than that we might have name to
| swear by, or convenient expletive to fill up
the chasms of discourse. Profaneness is a
sin the enormity of which the imagination
| cannot conceive, because no thought can
compass the Infinite excellencies of Him
| whose prerogative it is to be who sits upon
| the circles of the earth, and the inhabitants
thereof are as grasshoppers who stretcheth
out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth
them out as tent to dwell in. That puny
creature Of the dust, borne to-day and gone
| tomorrow, should have the audaeity to
pour contempt upon that glorious name
which seraphs adore with rapture, is enough
to astonlsh the heavens and convulse the
| earth. Yea, still more astonishing Is that
| miracle of patience which endures the mon
| sters when one word would arm all nature
| against them, make the ground treacherous
| beneath them, heaven terrible above them,
| and he'll ready to meet them at their COM
ing. The magnitude of the sin cannot be
exaggerated. 1t is enough to make the
blood curdle, to think of the name of God
banded about as the bauble and plaything
of fools, to point a jest, to season obscenity,
and to garnish tale. This offence cannot
go unpunished. If there be God, he must
vindicate his own magesty and glory There
must be period when all shall tremble be-
fore him. when every knee shall bow, and
every heart shall do reverence. The sword
of justice cannot always be sheathed, nor
the arm of vengeance slumber. In the
sight of angels, there can be no greater sin
than that of profaneness. They know
eonaething of what God is They fear that
dreadful name, and their imaginations, lofty
and expanded as they are, cannot measure
the height and depth of that iniquity which
can make light of 50 tremendous being.
1t is the very spirit and core of all evil, the
quintessence of ungodliness. .-Anaerfcan
| Messenger.

The Copperheads are pretending to be re-
joiced over the recent great successes of our
troops, and some of them have the hardi-
hood to say that they always expected that
the rebellion would be put down by force Of
arms. Here is how much they expected it
as declared by their National Convention:
That this Convention does explicitly de-
clare, as the sense of the American people,
AFTER FOUR YEARS OF FAILURE
TO RESTORE THE UNION BY THE
EXPERIMENT OF WAR,
justice, humanity, Liberty and the public scel-
fare demand that immediate efforts be made
for a cessation Of hosti aties, ete.
And we also remember this:
Resolued, That we believe the further
prosecution Of the present aaor cannot result
an The restoration of the Union and the pres
erUation of oar Constitutions, as our tzthers
made ii, unless the Presidents Emancipa-
ton Proclamation be withdrawn. y
Again on the 18th of June, 1853, the
Copperhead Convention of Illinois resolved
as follows
ResolDed, That aee are opposed to the fur
taer ofeasire prosecution of the aodr, as tend
ing to satbUert the Constitution and the Coo
erT,naelt and entraiiing upon this nation all
the disastrous consequences of misrule and
anarchy. =
All of which is respectfully submitted to
those of our Democratic friends who are
now rejoicing at the recent glorious victo-
ries, and over the hattering prospects a.
head.

THE SECRET OF YOUTH.

There are women who cannot grow old
women. who, without any special effort, re-
nam always young and attractive. The
number is smaller than it should be; but
there Is still sufficient number TO mark the
wide difference between this class and the
other. The great secret Of this perpetual
youth hes not in beauty, for some women
possess it who are not at all handsome nor
in dress, for they are frequently careless In
that respect, SO far as mere arbitrary die
tates Of fashion are concerned nor in hav-
ing nothing 20 do, for these ever Young wo.
men are always busy as bees, aud it il very
well known that idleness viii fret people into
old age and ugIiness faster than overwork.
The charm, we imagine, lies in sunny tenn
per, neither more or less-the blessed gift Of
always looking on the bright side Of life,
and stretching the mantle of charity over
everybody's faults and failings. 1t is not
much of secret but it is all that we have
been able to discover and we have watched
such with great interest and a determine
ton to report truthfufly for the benefit Of
the sex. 1t is provoking that it is some
thing which cannot be corked up and sold
for fifty cents per bottle; but, ,as this isimpos-
sible, why, the most of us viii have to keep
on growing old and ugly and disagreeable as
unsual. Jenny June.
