A cnILD's COMPOSITION.

"The editor is one of the happiest an
imals in the known world. He can go to
the circus and other shows, afternoon and
evening, without paying cent also to
inquests and hangings. He has free
tickets to picnics and strawberry festi-
walls, gets wedding cake sent him, and
sometimes gets licking, but not often,
for he can take things back the next is
sue, the which he generally does 1nev-
er knew only one editor to get licked.
His paper busted that day and he could
Mt take nothing back.
"While other folks have to go to bed
early, the editor can sit up late every
night, and see all that's going on. The
boys think it's big thing to hang out
till ten o'clock. When / am man /
mean to be an editor, so can stay out
nights. Then that will be bully. The
editor don't have to saw wood or do any
chopping, except with his scissors. Rail-
roads get up excursions for him, knowing
if they didn't he'd make 'em git up and
git. In politics he don't care much who
he goes for if they are only on his side.
If they amt he goes for EN- anyway, SO it
amounts to nearly the same thing. There
is great many people trying to be edi-
tors who cant, and some Of them have
been in the profession for years. They
can't see il, though. If was asked if |
had rather have an education or be cir
Gus rider, would say, let me go and be
an editor"

The Absurdity of Drinking.

1t has become sort of popular-al-
most national-faith that it is not posi-
BILE to be truly happy unless you drink.
Among certain classes-and they are by
no means exclusively the lowcst-drink
is the beginning and end Of everything.
The very name of liquor is held to be
synonymous with enjoyment, and the
dearer the liquor the more it is priced
and coveted. Yet every man who is not
downright drunkard is well aware that
the pleasures of drinking are, beyond
certain point, a mockery, delusion and
snare. / put it to any one who has
spent half the night at a porter-bar or
sat half the night in a club room, drink
ing, smoking, and bandying reckless talk,
if the enjoyment of such an evening has
been anything like that of few quiet
hours spent at home with book or news
paper? The evil influence Of tavern plea
sure ON the health is too obvious to be
denied by any one, and the illusory ma
ture of the pleasures themselves would
be undeniable also, if the persons who
indulge in them did not deceive them
selves and put truth out of sight.
No one ever brought any good out o
drinking-bout yet. 1t is short, fe
verish spasm of animal enjoyment, whicl
leaves nothing behind but moroseness
regret, bad temper, self-reproach, ant
headache. I should like to ask you, sir
if you say your prayers when you COM
home in that shape? No--you don't
, You are ashamed to say them. fo'
postpone them till you have purged your
self. your mind and your lips, by NOR
sober and rational behavior. Next nigh
when you pass the hours quietly at hom
! with book or friend, you feel tha
you have had real enjoyment, and tina
the time has passed pleasantly, that yo
have learned something, and that 70
have not injured your health. You ar
not ashamed to say your prayers, an
E you get up next morning with clea
: head. good appetite, and an increases
t faculty for work and enjoyment of life

How Long We might Live.

Professor Faraday adopts Flourin's
physiological theory that the natural age
of a man is one hundred years. Tho
duration Of life he believes to be measur-
ed by the time of growth. When the
bones and eiyphysus are united, the body
grows no more, and at twenty years this
union is effected in man. In the camel
it takes place at eight; in the horse at
FIVE; in the rabbit at one. The natural
termination Of life is FIVE removes from
these several points. Man, being twenty
years in growing, lives five times twenty
years, that is, one hundred; the camel is
eight years in growing, and lives five
times eight years, that is to say, forty
years; the horse is FIVE years in growing,
and he lives twenty-five years; and SO
with other animals. The man who does
not die of sickness lives everywhere from
eighty to one hundred years. Provi-
dence has given to man century of life
but he does not attain it because he in
herits disease, eats unwholesome food,
gives license to passions, and permits vex-
ations to disturb his healthy equipoise.
He does not die; he kills himself. The
learned professor divides life into equal
halves, growth and decline, and these
halves into infancy, youth, virility and
age Infancy extends to the twentieth
year; youth to the fiftieth, because it is
during thisperiod that the tissues become
firm; virility from fifty to seventy-five
during which the organism remains COM
plete, and at seventy-fve old age COM
mences, to last longer or shorter time,
as the dimunition of reserved forces is
hastened or retarded.

What it Would do.

"Give me-" says one, "the money
that has been spent in rum, and l will
purchase every foot of ground on the
globe. will clothe every man, woman
and child in an attire that kings and
queens might be proud of. / will build
school house upon every hillside and
in every valley over the whole earth. |
will supply that school house with COM
petent teacher. Twill build an academy
in every town and endow it; acollege in
every state, and fill it with able profes-
sors. l will crown every hill with a
church consecrated to the gospel ofpeace,
and support in its pulpit an able teacher
of righteousness SO that on every Sab
bath morning, the chime on one hill
shall answer to the chime on another
around the earth's broad circumference
and the voice of prayer and the song o.
praise shall ascend as one universal offer
ing to heaven.
This is no voice of enthusiasm, but 9
simple utterance of what is literally true
and practicable, as any one can see WHIT
will consult facts and history.
Pass it round, then, We lovers of tenn
perance, and let the people eewhere tn
money goes to that might feed the hun
gry. clothe the naked, and give to all ma
tions the bread of life. Pass it round
and let all see that intemperance waste
more, by untold millions, than ambitio
grasps or avarice covets; and they tha
/ find fault with our benevolence, or on
social organizations, let them learn tha
the social disorganizations, crimes an
miseries, which intemperance produce
are a thousand fold mere extensive an
grievous to be borne.

Summer Trunk suggestions.

Nhatist the limit OF propriety IN water
ing place trunks Ten to each lady or
twenty! Perhaps modest medium of
fifteen is the proper thing. One lady
certainly has reached Saratoga this season
with fonrteon trunks. Some of them
were as large as our writing desk-which |
is not very small one. There was a
two-horse truck full. Many trunks at
Long Branch stand in the halls because
tney are too large to be carried through
the room-doors. So long as our water
ing-place season is made mere repeti-
ton of the winter season, in gayety and
fashion, it is idle to talk about reducing
the number of ladies' trunks, or their size.
On the contrary they willincreasein both
respects in the same proportion as social
extravagances increase.
There are but few women who can take
advantage of the summer months to ap-
pear more charming in simple attire than
they ever are in jewels and laces. Most
ladies need artificial ornaments, and they
realize this necessity. Of those too, whose
natural charms render them independent
of ornaments, but few have tact enough
to see that it is the absence of ornaments
only that they are fully superior to their
palmer sisters. Those few beautiful and
graceful women who have this tact, in
variably appear at the watering places
with small trunks and but few of them.
They dress simply, whatever their wealth,
and are still the most admired and the
most courted upon the veranda or at the
beach. During the winter, fashion re-
quires that they appeal in society attired
in some degree according to their own
wealth, and the average wealth of the
circle in which they work. AT the sea
side, however, or at the springs, they are
at liberty to claim the privileges of the
season, and they may dress very plainly
and charmingly. Such women, however,
are, as we have said, but few in number.
Most of the more beautiful ones fail
to see their advantages, and try to rival
those who resort to jewelry and satin to
supply the charms which nature has de-
MED them. We may take it for grant
ed, invariably, when we see large pile
of baggage belonging to one lady, that
1 she lacks either charms or tact. The ma
iority Of our watering-place bellies dc
lack one or the other, and we may look
as we have said, fer no dimunition i'll the
amount OF baggage, so long as the fash
ion and social dissipation of winter Is
repeated in the summer.
But when will American watering,
places become what European watering
places are-places Of rest and recupera
ton? Our young girls need rest-when
; will their mammas insist that they shall
t take it? If they will have beaux a
, their sides, let the beaux take the youns
] creatures as they find them, as they dC
!. in England--in their easy dresses, read,
for romp or dance, whichever hap
/; pens in the way. When our watering
! places are made genuine resting places
q instead of fashionable combinations o
4 the city, we may expect reduction il
the number, size, and value of ladies
o trunks.-N Y. Euening MaI.

THE ART OF NOT HEARING-The art
of not hearing is fully as important to do
nestle happiness as a cultivated ear, for
which SO much time and money is ex-
pended. There are SO many things which
it is painful to hear, many Of which, if
heard, will disturb thetemper and detract
from contentment and happiness, that
every one should be educated to take in
or shut out sounds atwin. If a man falls
in passion and calls me all manner Of
names, the first word shuts my ears, and
hear no more. If in my quiet voyage OF
life am caught in one Of thosed domestic
whirlwinds of scolding, | shut my eyes
as a sailor would furl his sails, and
make all tight, scud before the gale. II
hot and restless man begins to iDfame
my feelings, / consider what mischief
these sparks might do in the magazine be-
low, where my temper is kept, and in
stantly close the door. Does gadding
misunderstanding fellow begin to inform
me what people are saying about me,
down drops the portcullis Of my ear and
he cannot get in any further. Some peo-
ple feel verv anxious to hear everything
that will vex or annoy them. If it is
hinted that any one has spoken Of them,
they set about searching and finding it
out. If all the petty things said of one
by needless or ill-natured idlers should
be brought home to him, he would be-
come walking pin-cushion, full Of sharp
remarks. should as soon thank man
for emptying on my bed bushel of net
ties, or setting loose swarm of mosqui
toes in my chamber, or raising pungent
dust in my house generally, as to bring
upon me all the tattle of spiteful people.
Ifyou would be happy, when among good
men, open your ears; when among bad
shut them. 1t is not worth your while
to hear what your servants say when
they are angry; what your children say
after they have slammed the door; what
your neighbors say about your children
what your rivals say about your busi-
ness or dress. have noticed that q well
bred woman never hears an impertinent
or vulgar remark A kind of discreet
deafness saves one from many insults,
from much blame, from not little appar.
