INFLUENCE OF MARRIAGE on LoSeEv.
irY.-The Journal des C,nnaissancs. Msdi.
Gales publishes some statistics, lnteIy
communicated to the Royal Society Of
Edinburgh by DR.. Stark, on the effects
Of marriage on longevity. It appears
that between the ages Of twenty and
twenty-five the number Of deaths
among bachelors is double Of those that
occur among married men. This Inc
quality Of mortality diminishes during
the subsequent ages, but the advantage
always remains on the side of the vota-
ries Of Hymen. Thus, from the age OF
twenty TO the termination Of life, the
average attained by married men is sol
years, while that Of the bachelors is
only 10. Ia other words, after the age
Of twenty, the former are likely 10 live
lo3 years longer than the latter. After
The "ge Of twenty-five, the average age
Of married men Is somewhat. more than
sixty, while 1t Is not quite forty-eight
Tor bachelors. This curious fact shows
that the chances Of lite vary with every
age, and that the mere fact of our bav.
ing attained a certain period is a sort of
earnest Of sufficient vital powers to car.
~ US to q later age.

visit to this coast be delivered a sulogy
on the good President, the following
being its conclusion, which is as beau.
tiful as it Is truthful:
Slaughtered at the moment Of victory,
the blow was too late to rob him Of the
grand place he has won for himself 10
history
We know him noo. All narrow jealousies
Are silent. And We see him ~ be moved,
How modest, kindly, all compassionate, wise,
With what sublime repression Of himself,
| And with what limits and how tenderly.
His glory was redrcssinR human wrongs,
Not making his high place the lawless perch
or winged ambition. nor a vantage ground
or pleasure. But, through all this tract Of
years,
Wearing the white flower Of a blameless life.
Murdered, cofined, buried, he will
live with those few immortal names
which were not born to die live, as the
Father Of the Faithful in the times that
tried mems souls ; lire in the grateful
hearts of the dark-browed race he lifted
from under the heel Of the oppressor 10
the dignity Of freedom and of manhood (;
live in every bereaved circle which has
given father, husband, son or friend to
die, rs he did, for his country I; live with
the glorious company Of martyrs to lib
erty, justice and humanity, that trio Of
heaveu-born principles ; liue in the love
Of all beneath the circuit Of the sun,
who loathe tyranny, slavery and wrong.
And, leaving behind him II record that
shows how honesty and principle lifted
him, self-msde as he was, from the
humblest ranks Of the people 10 the
noblest station on the globe. and II name
that shall brighten under the eye Of
posterity as the ages roll by
From the top Of flames ladder he stepped to
the sky.

THE raEEpmEN's BUREAU.

There is nothing in this country
against which a greater prejudice exists
among Democrats than the Freedmen's
Bureau. Democratic journals have
harped upon it SO long, aud their stump
speakers have alluded to it so often,
that 10 the minds of many Democrats
the Bureau for the protection of freed
men is an enormous elephant, costing
fifty or a hundred millions of dollars
annually, and doing not over one-teuth
that amount of good.
The object of the Freedmen's Bureau
is, or should be known by every
intelligent voter in the land aud
We believe where the design and work.
ings Of the institution are fully under
stood, either by Democrat or Republic
can, its usefulness is unhesitatingly ac-
knowledged.
The expense, however, just at this
particular time is the great theme ; and
that is what we shall now look at for a
moment, taking first a leading Demo-
Gratis assertion upon the subject.
In a recent political speech, Richard
0'Gorman, Esq, declared that the
Freedmeu's Bureau cost the country
annually $40, 0O0, 900, and there was
the standing army in the South, num-
bering City thousand men, costing an
nuslly 500 ooo,
This is refuted By the Hon. Thos. D.
Elliot, Of New Bedford, in a recent
speech delivered in Massachusetts,, who
declared that the cost Of the Freedmen's
Bureau from March Sd, 1865, to January
ls,, 1868, was only S4,3s7,s54 80, and Of
that amount $500, 900 II distributed
to whites and others who were destitute,
while $50, 900 more were expended in
seeds for those desiring to SOW and
plant among the white and colored in-
misunderstanding the amount actually
expended by the Bureau, 10 purely Blu
reau work, So. s47 ,s54 only.
With regard to the number Of troops
employed in the South, an official state
ment from the headquarters of the
army at Washington shows that on the
lst Of January, 1868, there were 10, 73l
soldiers on duty in all the Southern
States. From these should be deducted
2,723 engaged against the Indians ex-
clusively, and 2,4l2 guarding the sea-
coast forts, aud who would be retained
il there we're no reconstruction laws TO
be enforced. This leaves 1886 as the
entire force required in the ten States
which attempted to secede. Tue aver
age cost per mau Of the army for the
year ending June 3oth, 1868, is, as
nearly as can be ascertaincd, Sl,o57 &c,
including officers; so that the actual
cost Of the forces required in the States
in question, instead of being a hundred
millions Of dollars, as stated by Mr.
O'Gorman, is really less than four
teen millions and a half.
These are figures which cannot bs
successfully disputed, and figures which
unquestionably prove the economical
and otherwise able management of the
Bureau for the relief and protection o.
| Freedmen.

We have hardly had time for much more
than a cursory perusal Of its contents,
therefore are unwilling to enter into a

fessor is more Of a humorist than his

rendered all the more attractive and
readable by the many pleasing anecdotes
and dashes Of humor with which it is
interlnrded. That on page 10th, where
he tells about how his stern P%uritanical
old father used to fog his children
whenever he caught them in the orchard
clandestinely helping themselves to APP
pies, thus faying q certain portion Of
them every fruit season for n number OF
years, is not so bad. Biggs says this
was a circumstance in his early life
which created 10 bis mind an unfavor-

treatment Of the subject under conSid-
GRAFTON, however, be uses q vast amount
Of good logic, and proves, to his own
satisfaction at least, that the Catholic

Bull Run on the Noriherners. But they

believe II will be heavy misfortune to
this country that President should be
elected by process Of usurpation and
fraud, because we are in the Republican
faith. No Democrat should therefore be
satisfied with il, or omit to fight against
II with resolution. It will be soon enough
to talk about the benignity of the despot
when we come to discuss the means OF
