TINE FOR MATR1MoNY.-Among
the ancient Germans, than whom
a finer race never existed, it was
death for any woman to marry
before she was twenty years ola:
By the laws ofLycurgus, the most
special attention was paid 10 the
physical education, and no delicate
or sickly woman were, on any &C
count, allowed to marry. DR.. John
ston, in his work of Economy of
HEALTH" says that matrimony
should not be contracted until the
first year Of the fourth septennial
on the par, of the lady, nor before
the last year of the same in the
case Of the gentleman. In other
words, the female should be at
least twenty-one years of age,
and the male twenty-eight years:
The doctor says there should be
a difference Of seven years be;
tween the sexes, at whatever
period Of life the connection is con-
tracted. There is difference of
seven years, not in the actual du;
ration of life in the two sexes, but
in the stamina Of the constitution:
the symmetry Of the form and
lineaments Of the face. In respect
to early marriage, so far as it con-
Germs the softer sex, for every
year at which marriage is entered
upon before the age Of, twenty
one, there will be, on an average;
three years Of premature decay;
more or less apparent, Of the cor
poral fabric.

A Cool PRocEED1NG.-A mar
ried couple in this county, says
the Evansville (Ohio) Courier, who
had been living together for some
thing over a year, separated re-
Gently in a very peculiar manner,
and, to say the least Of it, under
very unusual circumstances. We
know nothing about their married
life, whether it had been very
agreeable between the parties.
The husband came home to dinner
one day, as usual, and while eat
ing, his wife said to him, "Stephen,
YOU had better eat a hearty din
ner, for it is the last that l will
ever cook for you.'' He inquired
what she meant, when she in
formed him that she had just re-
ceived a letter from young man Ga
former beau) whom she loved bet
ter than any one in the world; that
she was going to leave her hus-
band and 60 to him and that she
never loved (Stephen) her hus-
band. After dinner was over she
attired herself neatly, and soon
after hack called, her trunk (al-
ready packed) was placed on it,
the woman got inside, the driver
cracked his whip, and away went
the wife, from home and husband,
forever. Such are the clrcum-
stances Of the case as they have
been told US.

The USE OF PEpPER.-Pepper
is an almost universal condiment:
Black pepper irritates and in
flames the coatings of the stomach.
Red pepper does not irritate, con:
sequentIy it should be used instead
of black pepper. 1t was knowrs
to the Romans: and has been used
in the East Indies from time i'm
memorial, as it corrects that
fatulence which attends the large
use of vegetable food. Persons in
health do not need any pepper in
their food. But to those Of weak
and languid stomachs it is far
more healthy to- use cayenne pep.
per ut meals than any form Of
vine, brandy or beer that can be-
named, because it stimulates with
out the reactions Of sleepiness or
debility. -.-,

EXCITEMENT AND SHORT LIFE

EXCITEMENT AND OHORT LIFE
Tie deadliest foe to mans ion
gevity is an unnatural and unreaso-
nable excitement. Every man is
born with a certain stock ofvitality
which cannot be increased, but
which may be husbanded or ex.
pended as rapidly as he deems
best Within certain limits he has
choice. to live fast or slow, to live
abstemiously or intensely, to draw
his little amount Of life over a
large space, or condense it into
a narrow one; but when his stock
is exhausted he has no more. He
who lives abstemiously, who
avoids all stimuIants, takes light
exercise, never overtasks himself,
INDUCES no exhaustjng passions,
feeds his mind and heart on no
exciting material, has no debilita-
ting pleasures, lets nothing ruffle
his temper, keeps his account
with God and man squared up" is
sure, barring accidents, to spin out
his life to the longest limit which
it is possible to attain; while he
who lives intensely, who feeds on
high-seasoned food, whether ma
terial or mental: tatigues his body
Or brain by hard labor, exposes
himself to infammatory disease,
seeks continual excitement, gives
loose reign to his passion, frets at
every trouble, and enjoys little re-
pose, is burning the candle at
both ends; and is sure to shorten
his days.

Just as Christ is both the ply
sician and the medicine, the priest
and the sacrifice, the redeemer
and the redemption, the legislator
and the law, the dookeeper and
the door, so also is He both the
sower and the seed. For indeed
the very Gospel itself is no other
than Christ Incarnate, born into
the world, preaching, dying, rising
again, sending forth His Spirit;
gathering His Church, sanctifying
it, governing it.

PROOF OF MEANNEss.--"Nothin "
says John Foster, "more palpably
betrays littleness, meanness OF
soul, than a supercilious looking
down on estimable friends of IN
ferior order after a man has at
tanned some unexpected elevation" "
And yet nothingis more common.
A man meets with a sudden IN
crease of wealth, and he fails to
recognize as acquaintances those
whose favor he once courted. A
man forms some distinguished ac-
quaintances, and the plain people
with whom he was glad to asso-
ciate are passed by. According
to Foster, there must bo a great
deal of meanness of soul in the
world.

Let us Protect OurseIves.

The physical structure Of the stronges human
being is vulnerable everywhere. Our bodies ar
endow ed by nature with certain negative pow

unwholesome influences; but this protection is
imperfect, and cannot safely be relied on in IN.
healthy regions. or under circumstances of more
than ordinary danger. Therefore, 1t is wisdom;

TFrom the Insurance Chronicle (CincnnatD for
August.
The National Life Insurance Company, of th e
United States of America, comp leted the record
of its first fiscal year tho st inst. and 1t Is
brilliant one. That its success is without par
allel in the history of life Insurance. 10 attested
bv the fact that within twelve months, 1t estab-
lished It's agencies, published and distributed its
literature, made itself widely known through
out the country by judlcious system of adver-
tsing, and issued 1000 policies, yielding in
premium receipts $751, ,5S2 AZ. and representing
insurance to the amount of $19 ,0O34OO. These
are big figures, and they exhibit business
nearly double that done by any other company
in the world in a corresponding period Of It's ex-
istence. Indeed out of fity-eight companies
doing business in New York, we see that only
nine (the youngest of that number established
over ten years, and the agencies of each In COM
plete working ord er for the full perod,) issued
more policies than the National during their
fiscal year. When we take into account the
du illness of general business and the consequent
scarcity of money among the people, the sharp
competition of life insurance, and the admitted
dlniebltles Of Its successful prosecution; which
have characterized the business during the past
year, we regard the results above indicated as
truly splendid, and the sure guarantee of an
enviable career Of prosperity and usefulness In
the future.
Low cash rates, ample security,a plain busi'
ness contract ofso much insurance for so much
money, (avoiding all the ccmplieat ions and un'
certaintics of notes and dividends officers and
directors whose names are synonyms for honor
and ab iity throughout the land, active and in.
teIligent agents of unquestlonable character and
standing in their respective localities-these are
the factors that have worked out the signal
achievements of this company, which deserves
It's success, and the confidence of the insuriDg
public. .37e
