and ready for another cruise. Now the
question arises, in what does the extreme
pleasure consist Perhaps the following
conversation between % young lady and
a clergyman may throw some light
on the subject

"Not exactly mt least, by ono hand"
"And how does he dispose Of the

"Well, why,"-blushing deeply-"you
know the lady has to bc supported. and so
her partner just touches her waist lightly,

"But that would afford no support"
"Well, she rests on his ar-hand just a
little. Father"
"But then she must have superhuous

20, she rests her other hand upon his
shoulder just enough to steady herself"
(More blishes.)
"But,"--very matter of fnct--"is that

CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH.-Very few of the
sudden deaths which are said to arise from dis
of the heart do really arise from that cause.
To ascertain the real origin of sudden deaths, an
experiment has been tried in Europe and re-
ported to scientific congress at Strasburg.
Sixty-six cases of sudden death were made the
subject of a thorough post mOrtem examination !;
in these cases only two found who had died
from disease of the heart Nine out oEsixty-six
had died from apoplexy while there were forty
six cases of congestion of the lungs-that is, the
lungs were so full of blood that they could not
work, not having room for a sufficient quantity
of air to support life The causes that produce
congestion OF the lungs are cold feet tight
clothing, costive bowels, sitting until chilled
after being warmed with labor or rapid walk
going too suddenly from a close room into the
air, especially after speaking, and sudden de-
pressing news operating on the blood. These
causes of sudden death being known, an evil
dence of them may serve to lengthen many val
liable lives which would otherwise be lost un-
der the verdict of heart complaint. That dis
ease is supposed to be inevitable and ncurable :;
hence, many may not take the pains they would
to avoid sudden death, if they knew it lay in
their power.

NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN.-SOcrates, at an
extreme old age, learned to play musical in
stTuments.
Cato, at eighty years of age, commenced to
study the Greek language.
Plutarch, when between seventy and eighty,
commenced the study of Latin.
Boccacio was thirty-fve years Of age when he
commenced his studies in polite literature. Yet
he became one of the greatest masters of the
Tuscan dialect.
Sir Henry Spelman neglected the sciences 10
his youth, but commenced the study of them
when he was between fifty and sixty years of
age. After this time he became most learned
antiquarian and lawyer.
Dr. Johnson applied himself to the Dutch Ian
guage but few years before his DEATH
Ludovico Monaldesco, at the great age of one
hundred and fifteen, wrote the memoirs of his
own times.
Ogilby, the translator of Homer and Virgil,
was unacquanted with Latin and Greek till he
was past fifty.
Franklin did not fully commence his philosoph-
ical works till he had reached his 6ftieth year.
Dryden, in his sixty-eighth year, commenced
the translation of the Widd his most pleasing
production.
We could go on and cite thousands of ex-
amples of men who commenced u new study,
either for livelihood or amusement, at an ad-
vanced age. But every one familiar with the
biography of distinguished men will recolect in
dividual cases enough to convince him that none
but the sick and indolent will say, | am too old
