MARRIAGE AND DEATH-Why it is thl

MARRIAGE AND DEArH.-Why it is that
the marriage announcements are immedi-
ately followed by obituary notices in our
own papers? Does death follow so close
on the footsteps of marriage? Is grief the
page that carries the train of happiness ?
DOCS the tomb open wide its dark and pom
dcrous jaws beside the puptial couch Tis
the plan of life. The gleeful songs of
light and merry hearts to day, to morrow
S4gillturn to funeral chants, and sobbing
and lameutation be heard instead of glad,
pealing laughter! We read to day of our
friends marriage, and wish them joy; to
morrow we see their deaths recorded, and
say "peace to their ashes" Our merriest
songs are timed by footballs of death, and
the ''silver chord" is as fragile as a spi-
ders thread. And the golden bowl is
lpore. brittle than glass.

CASTLES IN THE AIR.

I built castle in the air,
In my wild boyhoOd's thoughtless glee;
And all the world was good and fair,
And every heart was true to me;
Till Times cold blasts, too rudely blown,
Shook down my castle, stone by stone.
| built a castle in the air,
In manhood s morn, and called II llOme
Aud though sweet love and joy were there,
Yet winds would blow and clouds would CONT
And, spite Of all my hearts fond trust,
| felt my castle stood on dust.
built castle in the air,
AID decked it o er with wca tn untold;
But soon saw that carking care
Was not kept out by bars of gold;
And Death would stalk through jcweled doors,
And haunt my gilded corridors.
built castle in the air,
Ambition gave the wood and stone;
Bnt looked forth, and everywhere
These castles lay on earth o'erthrown,
And naught survived but a tarnishcd pail,
Or shivered tablet on the wall.
So | ceased these airy domes to rear,
For time and thought had made me wise,
And taught me how twas bootless here
To build on aught beneath the skies,
And air and earth alike were vain
The souls large longings to sustain.
And chastened thus as calm roam,
What earth refuses, heaven supplies;
For the thresholds of my Father home
Shine bright and glorious from the skies;
And stcadfast now, mid lifes brief stages,
| build me on the Crock of Ages"

Longevity.

The death of a colored woman in New
Orleans at the age of one hundred and fif-
teen years is announced. A Texas paper
says there is now black man in Jefferson,
in that State, named Quaco, who is, per-
haps the oldest inhabitant of the United
States. His age is placed at one hundred
and twenty to one hundred and twenty
five. He is hale, hearty, able to do a
good days work, and does not require
spectacles. There was living in Los An
geles county, California, few years ago,
an Indian woman who was said to have
reached the age of at least one hundred
and twenty years. A gentleman of our
acquaintance, who had frequently conver-
scd with this ancient woman, assured us
that there was no doubt of her great age.
Her skin, he said, was more like piece
of tanned leather than anything else, and
was almost as impenetrable as the hide of
an elephant She often related events in
the history of California which had tran
spired more than hundred years before
its settlement by the Americans. These
instances of longevity remind us of the
ballad of "The Three Old Men of Pains
wick" A pilgrim, so it runs, found a
very old man weeping. On asking the
cause, he was told that the old mans faith
er had been beating him. The pilgrim
demonstrated with the Methuselah for his
PARENTAL severity, and learns that it was
called forth by the "old boy" pelting his
grandfather who was up an apple tree
The secret of old age has been sought fol
in many directions. Cleanliness of tho
body is generally supposed to contribute
there to, Lady Lewson, who died in Lon
don at the age of one hundred and 81,
years, was decided foe to water. "Peo

"were always catching cold" Impertur.
bable self-satisfaction is also commonly re
garded as favorable to longevity. Coma
ro, who lived an irregular and intemperat'
life until the age of sixty-fve, but during
the remaining thirty-fve years reduced hi
diet to twelve ounces of solid food ant
fourteen of liquids per day, attained tn
perfection of this virtue. In his last trea
tisc, written when he was ninety five, h
had brought his regimen to such perfec
tion that, to quote his own confession
'neithcr the death of grandchildren nor @
other relatives or friends coull make an
impression upon him but for moment o
two, and then it was all over" OF Thom
as Parr, who is said to have died at tn
wonderful age of one hundred and fifty
ewo years, the poet Taylor says:
81 His physic was good butter, which the soil
OF Saop yields, more sweet than Candy oil,
And garlic he esteemed beyond the rate
of Venice trcacle or best mirthrdate.

ed to the whole system, the appetite is strength
cncd, food is enjoyed, the stomach digests pro-
perly, the blood is purified, the complexion be-
comes sound and healthy, the yellow tnge is
eradicatcd from the eyes, a bloom is given to the
checks, and the weak and nervous invalid be
comes a strong and healthy being.
Persons advanced in life and feeling the hand of
time weighing heavily upon them with all its
attendant ills will find in the of this Biters,
