A. Singular Adventure-A Story
with Moral Once upon time trav-
eler stepped iutO stage coach. He was a
young mau starting in life. He fonnd six
psssebgsrs abOat him. all gray headed and
extremely sged men. The youngest appear
cd to have seen at least eighty winters.
Our young traveller, struck with the siugu-
lsrly mild and happy aspect which distin-
guishej ali his fellow passengers, determiu-
ed to ascertain the secret Of long life and
art Of making old age comfortable.
He addressed The one apparently the
eldest, who told him he had always led
regular and abstemiOus life, eating vegets-
bles and drinking water, The young man
was rather dauntcd at this. inasmpch as he
liked tbe good things of this life. He ad-
dressed the second, who Fstonished him by
saying that he had always eaten roast beef
and gone TO bed regularly luddled for the
last seventy years, addiog, all depended on
regularity. The third had prolonged his
days by never seeking or accepting efiice;
the fourth by resolutely abstsining from all
political and religious cOutioy rsies; and the
fkh by going TO bed at sun set and rising
at dawn. The fzth was apparently much
younger than the other five-his hair was
less grty aud there was more of it--a placid
smile, deuoting perfectly easy cOnscie' ce.
msntled his face, and his V ice vas j1curd
and strong.
They were all surprised 10 lean that he
was by ten years the Oldest mau IN the
coach. F
"How is it that yeu have preserved the
freshness Of life2" exclqimed our young
traveller.
The old gentleman Immediately answered
tbeyOuug traveller by saying
81 have drank water and wiue-I have
dabblsd IN politics sod written religious
pamphlets, have sometimes. gone TO bed
at midnight; and got up at snnsiso and at
noOn;" be then, fixing his eyes intensely
upon the young man concluded with this
remark, abut1 always pay promptly for my
newspspersr'
Then the other old men also ebimed in
Vith--"Of course, We always pay promptly,
and in advance, for our newspers. No man
deserves long life who does not do this.
Then the young man resolved that he also
would render himself deserving Of long life,
aud immediately subscribed for five news
papers, pay ing for them in advance. He is
living yet
Now don't all come at once, that wOnld
be rather much of good thing and might
keep US too busy, worry US out, aud we
would not be able TO retain our you hful
appearance and geniality of temper until
an advanced age:-but, on second thought,
as we never yet heard of an editor being
over much worried in this way or, ever
knew one to lose his temper while record
ing the names of new subscribers or receiv
ing back Psy for old ones, We rather guess
We will take the risk. Come one, come
all this rock shall fly DC.
