HORACE GRvELY's ADVICE TO THE
NEGRa-We hear that many of the
blacks, thoroughly distressing their old
masters, place all conlilcucc in the
Yankees who have recently come
among them, and will work for them on
almost any terms. We regret this; for
while many OF these Yankees will
justify that confidence. others will
grossly'abusc it. New England pro-
duces many of the best specimens of
the human race, and, along with these,
some of the very meanast beings that
ever stood on two legs-cunning
rapicious, hypoeritlcal, ever ready to
skin flint with a borrowed knife and
make Oor othasssssa- soap out OF the
peelings. This class soon become too
we'll known at home-'run out, t,-as
the phrase is-whcn they wander all
over the earth snuiiling and swindling.
to the injury audi shame of the land
that bore them and cast them out. Now
let it be generally presumed by the
ignorant blacks OF iha South that Il
Yankee, because = Yankee is neccs-
sarily their friend, au4 this unclean
brood will ovcrspre4d the South like
locusts, starting SCHOOLS and prayer
meetings at every cross roads, getting
hold OF abandoned or contiscated
plantations and hiring Iaborers right
and left, cutting timber here, trying
out tar and tllrpentine, there, and
growing corn, cotton, rice and sugar,
which they will have sold at the
earliest day and run away with the pro-
ceeds, leaving the negroes in rags and
foodless, with winter just coming or.
The cup is f1ll-we have no mo,e
to say!

But the sad fact is that only one
man for every thousand reaches zone
hundred years. Stillit is encouraging
to know that the science Of life, as
revealed by the Investigations Of the
psychologist and the teachings Of edu-
Gated me,ical men, is steadily extend
ing the period OF human existence.
The distinguished historian, Macau-
lay, states that in 1855, one person in
twenty died each year; in 1850, out
of forty persons, only one died. Dupin
says, that from l776 to 1S43 the
duration of life in france increased
fifty-two days annually, for in 1871
the mortality was one in twenty nine;
in 1915, one in forty. The rich men
in France live fortytwo years on an
average. the poor only thirty. Those
who are wei! to DO in the world, live
about eleven years longer than those
who have to work from day to day for
q living. Renunerative labor aud diff
fusion Of the knowledge Of the laws of
life among the masses with temper
ance and thrift, are the great means Of
adding to human health and life; but
the more important ingredient, happl-
ness, is only to be found in daily
loving, obeyiny and serving Him

L1BERrY.-Ariosto tells a pretty
story OF fairy who, by some myteri-
Gus law of her nature. was condemned
to appear, at certaiu seasons, in The
form of foul and poisonous snake.
Those who injured her during the PEI
riod OF her disguise, were forever ex-
cludcd from participation in the bless
inSs which she bestowed. But to those
who, in spite of her loathsomc aspect,
pitied and protected her, she afterwards
revealed herself i'll the beautiful and
celestial form which was natural to her,
accompanied their steps, granted all
their wishes, filled their houses with
wealth, made them happy in love, and
victorious in war. Such a spirit is
liberty. At times she takes the form
Of q hateful reptile. She grovels, she
misses. she stings. But woe to 'thosc
who in disgust shall venture to crush
her! And happy are those who.
having dared to receive her in her
degraded and frightful shape, shall at
length be rewarded by her in time o!
her beauty and glory.

Quite a new mode of Furnishing
wayward darkies took place Saturday
afternoon last under the. direction of
our Provost Marshal. A barrel was
procured, placed under running gut

Duration of Life.

| Duration of Life
The average duration of life of man
IN civilized society. is about thirty
three and third years. This is called
generatlon-makisg three in cen
tury. But there are certain localities
and communities {" people where this
average is considerably extended. The
,nountai2cer lives longer than the low
] lander; the farmer than the artisan;
the traveller than the sedentarv; the
temperate than the self-indulgent: the
Just than the dishonest. The wicked
shall not live out half his days is the
announcement of Divinity. The phi
losopby of this is found in tLe fact
that the moral power has strong
power over the physical, a power
much more controlling than is gene
rally imagined. The true man con-
ducts himself in the light of Bible
precepts, is temperate in All things is
slow to anger and on his grave is
wr'tten-'went about doing good Ia
these three things are the great ele-
ments of human health; the restraint
of the appetites; the control of the
passions; and that highest type of
physical exercise, going about doing
good 1t is said of the eminent
Quaker phianthropist, Joseph J. Cur
ney, that the labor and pains he took
to 60 and see personally the objects of
his contemplated charities, SO that none
of them should be unworthy bestowed,
was OF itself almost the labor of one
man, and he attended to his immense
banking business besides; in fact, be
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~half die before
reaching seventeen; and yet the ave-
rage of Afe Of 'Friends,' in Great Bri.
tain and Ireland, in 1860, was nearly
fifty,six years, just double the average
life of other people. Surely this is a
strong inducement for all to practice
for themselves and to inculcate it upon
their children day by day, that sim
plicity of habit that quietness Of de-
meanor, that restraint Of temper, that
control Of the appetites and:propensi-
ties, and that orderly, systematic and
even mode, Of life, which Friends
discipline inculcates, and which are
demonstrably the means Of so largely
increasing the average Of human ex-
istence.
Reasoning from the analogy of the
animal creation, mankind should live
nearly an hundred years; that law
seeming to be, that life should be five
times the length of the period ol
growth; at least, the general obser.
walton is that the longer persons are
growing, the longer they live; othe,
things being equal. Naturalists say:
A dog grows for 2 years, and lives s

Interests and honor, be true to the
