The number of men is about equal to
the number of women. The average of
human life is 53. years. One quarter
die before the age of !; one half before the
age of II. To every 1000 persons, only
one reaches 100 years. To every 100, only
9 reach 65 years; and not more than one
in 500 reaches the age of so years. There
are on the earth about 900, 900, 900 of in
habitants. OF these, 33,3333, 1888 die every
year; 1880 every hour, and 60 every min

of births.
The married are longer Tired Man the sim

ber and industrious conduct. Tall men
live longer than short ones. Women have
more chances of life previous to the age of
fifty years than men, but fewer after. The
number of marriages is in proportion of 10
to 100. Marriages are more frequent after
the equinoxes-that is, during the months
Of June and December. Those born in
spring are generally more robust than
others. Births and deaths are more fre-
quent by night than by day.

This Democratic good thing is now 60

than poetry in it:
"a so called Union man, who once had
acted with the Democratic party, as it was
said, for patronage sake, the other day
tried to justify his change of sentiments to
a Democrat; and wound up by saying that
'the Democratic party, when last in power,
was SO corrupt that it was shame for any
decent man to have anything to do with it.

Massachusetts,, with all her prc-emi-
nence in civilization and education, has
some peculiar ways of doing things, that
look queerly from distance. Not long
since, young lady in one of the public
schools Of Cambridg &c was detected in whis-
pering, and ordered up for punishment,
to which she refused to submit The girl
is called a ''child' in the report of the af-
fair, but it appears she is over l6 years of
age: She was held by two assistants,
while the principal administered fifteen or
twenty stripes with leather strap, made
expressly for such purposes, in place of
the ordinary rattan. The pupils in the
principal school-room were set, during this
transaction, to marching to the music of a
piano, as it is averred, to drown the girls
screams. Nevertheless, after the establish
ment of these facts, the Cambridge school
committee resolved that the case did not
require any action on their part.

Indianapolis Herald reports that num-
Der of young men of that city have given
the principal of the Baptist Seminary a
deal of trouble by persistently making love,
orally and by letter, to the young ladies
under his charge. The other day the
principal learned that some or his pupils
had packages of letters from young gem

school, and read the letters in full, with
the names of the writer's. There was a

The oldest stove, probably in the United
States, is the one which warns the hall of
Nirginia's Capitol, in Richmond. 1t was
made in England, and sent to Richmond in
l770, and warmed the House of Burgesses
for GO years before it was removed to its
present location, where it has been for 80
years. 1t has survived the British mon
archs; has been cotemporaneous with four
kingly monarchies, two republics, and two
Imperial Governments Of France. The
great republic of America has been torn
by internecine strife, the breaches partly
healed and still the old stove remains un-
removed in the midst of all.
