CURIOSITIES or LIFE.-Iay YOUR
finger on your pulse, and know that, at
every stroke, some immortal passes to
its Maker-sOme fellow-being crosses
the river of death; and, if we think of il,
we may well wonder that il should be so
long before our time comes.
Half of all who live die before they are
seventeen.
Only one person in ten thousand lives
to be one hundred years old, and but one
in hundred reaches sixty.
The married men live longer than the
single.
There is one soldier to every eight per-
sons, and, out Of every thousand born,
only ninety-tive weddings take place.
If you take thousand persons that
are seventy years Of age, there are of
orators, clergymen, and public speakers,
forty-three; farmers, forty; wOrkmen,
thirty-three; soldiers, thirty-two; law
yers, twenty; professors, twenty-seven;
and doctors, twenty-four.
These statements are very instructive.
Farmers aud workmen do not arrive at
good old age as often as clergymen and
others, who perform no manual labor;
but this is owing to the neglect of the
laws of health, inattentiOn to proper
habits i'm life, in eating, drinking, sleep
ing, dress, and the proper care of them
selves after the days work is done.
These farmers eat hearty supper of a
summers day, and sit around the doors
in their shirt sleeves, and, in their tired
condition and weakened circulation, are
easily chilled, laying the foundation fol
diarrhea, lung-fever, or consumption.

MUTUAL FORBEARANCE.-Th house
will be kept in continual turmoil when
there is no liberation of each others
feelings, no meek submission to inju-
ries, and no soft answer to turn away
wrath. If you lay q single stick of
wood in the CRATE, and apply fire to il,
it will go out; and a half dozen, and
you will have an effective blaze. There
are other fires subject to the same con-
dition. If one member of family get
into a passion, aud is left alone, he will
cool down, and possibly be ashamed
and repent. But oppose temper to tenn
per, let one harsh answer be followed by
another, ond there will soon be blaze
which will envelop them all in its burn
ing heat.

An industrious lady of Garner, Mimi,
was seen day after day of last week
standing upon the top-most round of a

slapping the white paint upon the walls
of two-story building just as naturally
and efieetually as could one of the lords
of creation in breeches.

CELERY AS A NERvINE.-A cores
pOndent of the Practical Farmer says:
L have known many men, and women
too, who, from various causes, had been
so much affected with nervousness that
when they stretched out their hands
they shook like aspen leaves on windy
days; and by a daily moderate use OF
the blanched foot-stalks of the celery
leaves as n salad, they become as strong
and steady in limbs as other people.
have known others so very nervous that
the least annoyance put them in a state
of agitation, and they were in almost
constant perplexity and fear, who were
effectually cured by daily moderate
use of blanched celery as salad at
meal times. have known Others cured
by using celery for palpitation Of the

SUGAR IN NEW YoRK.-The harden
ing tendency of the New York sugar
market is said to be due to increased
consumption. This increase during the
first eight months of the year has been
remarkable, averaging $4,000 tons per
month in 1868, SO, 900 tons in 1852 1000
tons in 1870, 5000 in 1871, and $1,000
tons per month i'm 1872. At the present
rate of consumption, an importation OF
l34, 600 tons is necessary during the next
four months in order to end the year
with the same quantity of stock with
which it was begun, namely, 5000
tons. In the last four months OF 1871,
the importation amounted to only lO2i-
900 tons. At that rate there is this year,
the stock on the lst January, 1873, Will
be 80, 900 tons less than on the LIST jan
uary, 1872. Fortunately, no deficiency
is apprehended on this side. Our inn
ports of sugar since January lst have
been unprecedented, and there is fair
prospect that the close of the year Will
find us with an unparalleled stock.

AMONG other notable discoveries made
by the Democratic leaders is the alleged
fact that the Administration tried to pre-
vent the nomination of Greeley at Balti-
more. The fact is, however, that all, or
nearly all, thinking Republicans desired
the nomination of Mr.. Greeley at Balti-
more and for the very good reason that
his. adoption by the Democratic party
would make the fight square one for the
Republicans. The more sagacious Demo-
cratic leaders seriously did try to prevent
the nomination of Mr.. Greeley at Balti-
more, Was this opposition based upon a
belief that his nomination would render
the party sure of victory? 1t was not SO
based. Those leaders denounced the move
ment as fatal to Democratic hopes. At
what time did that fatality lesson its dis
tance or disappear altogether F? Or is all
this Democratic h,rrahing for Greeley only
the confused clamor of dispair. ti'n.N

Mr.. Greeley has not supported with all the
power of advocacy he could give to press
and pen. The constitutional amendments,
negro suffrage, the civil rights bill, the en-
forcement acts, the ku-klux legislation
all the obnoxious measures of reconstruc-
ton in fact-haye had the powerful sup
port of Mr.. Greeley, and he more than
any other man has pressed these measures
upon Congress and demanded their rigid
enforcement by the Executive. And yet,
strange to say, the tribune is now engaged
with the Democratic press of the country
in denouncing General Grant for not veto
ing these acts of legislation in the first in
stance, and not disregarding them after
they had passed into Legislative enact
mentS.
But Mr.. Greeley's inconsistency and po-
litcal tegiversation does not begin nor end
in these preposterous conclusions and at
titudes in which his conduct has placed
him. He denounced the "Reform" move
ment, before he thought to jump on the
Cincinnati train, as a ''base conspiracy to
destroy the Republican party /" nay, he
went further, and said that defeat of the
Republican party by this movement would
be ga disgrace and humiliation to the ma
ton" But more than this, Mr.. Greeley,
scarcely more than year ago, said:
"When n Republican Convention, fairly
chosen, after free consultation and the
frank interchange of opinion, shall have
Nominated Republican candidates for Pres
ident and Vice-President, we shall expect
to urge all Republicans to give them a

or be not of those whose original preference
has been gratifled.1 IL at - stfi

Were we forced to occupy his position for

/ THERE was never any doubt that if the
Republican party could be fairly aroused
to full sense of the duties yet resting
upon it, itwould sweep the country. And
that: condition is now plainly realized.
From all quarters come the most gratifying
reports of the great activity and the indora-
table purpose of the Republican masses.
In the sharply contested States especially,
they are moving with a fervor of spirit
and a ygor of effort which cannot be de-
feated. 1t daily becomes more evident
that Henry Wilson did not overstate the
truth at all when he said that Grant would
carry twenty-seven States.
