AEPlan to: Prolong Life.

NJ. Robin, an eminent French chemist,
in memoir recently presented to the
French Academy expresses ssbelief that
the human life may b greatly prolonged,
aud cutters into ;an argument to show
chat his opinion is based upon sound
reasoning. He gives: tho result Of Ibis
personal observations on this subject,
and proposes to demonstrate the truth
fuluess Of Els. position by Sactual exper.
iments upon animals whose lives are of
short duration. His, argument is that
the mineral matter which constitutes M
ingredient 10 most. Of odr food, after-the
combustion, is 10, our systems to incrust
aud stifen the different parts Of the
body aud TO render imperfect many of
the vital processes. f.
He compares human beings to furua-
ces which arc always kindled,; life exists
only in combustion; but the combustion
which occurs 10 .,our bodies, like that
which takes ,plsce in our chimneys,
leaves! Z :dotritus:o or residuum which is
fatal to life. TO remove this, he would
administer lactic acid With ordinary food.
This acid is known to possess the power
Of. removing OF. .dissolging the. incrusta-:
tons which form on the arteries, carti.
lagos, and valve, Of. the heart. As but.
termiik ;abouudsa ia this sIoid, 2sud is,
moreover, an agreeable kind Of food, its
habitual use, It is urged, will free tho
system from these causes, which inevits-
bly 1c:suss death between the seventysffeh

Fill Your Own Place.

Il takes all sorts Of characters to com.
plete this great world drama, and some
body must act them. In other words,
believe that every man has bis place in
the world, and that he was made special.
ly for that place. 1t is only earnestly
BY filing that place that ho fulfills bis
destiny, aud answers tho end for which
God created him. Confusion and dis.
appointment only arise from our efforts
to get into; somo other place than the
one for which we were intended. The
change Of our choice is limited by the
character God has given to US, and the
circumstances by which hc hath sur.
rounded Us, and which have modified
that character and developed those facul.
ties. '.~-...'
Each man is created With certain pos.
sibilities which. determine the direction
hs must 60, and the height to which he
may ri1e. We need not. therefore,
remain IN doubt. Our path is so plainly
marked out for US that we need not seek
long for it, if .vo have willing hearts
and willing hands to do it. r. -
"Se man /. born into the world whose work
u not born with him there IS always work
And ,oolI TO work withAl, for those who will"
The same power that created you, and
trained you for your work, has brougb,
that.Work for you. Do not 60 out Of
your way TO seek for something grand
and imposing to do, but take up at once
tho simplest and plainest duty that lies
before you, aud you will not 90 wrong.
Do not stand Waiting for signs and won.
dors to reveal; to you what God would
have you, do; hut listen to theivoices

you, aud light and strength, DO given to
you as your path, opens wider and higher

!. believe God calls men to humble
duties as we'll as great ones, for to Him
