opens up this subject in the following
strain; THE vacant places on such occa-
sions reproach the community with salts
fed Ignorance, and every empty chair is
counted as an empty head hiding some
where in the city. If julius Cesar were
to come to make his commentaries in
costume, or Archimedes to lift the world
out of its orbit, or Demosthenes with his
tongue of tempest, or Newton with his
rotten apples to demonstrate gravitation
for the FIRST time by request all these
respectable gentlemen would fail to get
a respectable audience in some places
we know Of. The very next night after
they failed, Joan Dare. Lucretia Bor-
gia, Cleopatra, or Anna Dickinson in
their several lines of business would
bring the crowds until the police would
be called upon to drive them away from
the doors. Such is business; everything
is worth just what it viii bring in the
market. This age has no fancy prices
or fictitious values to serve as ornaments
to its realistic, work-day character, and
we must conclude that the notorieties
are worth just what they bring, and the
philosophers are worth no more than
they get. But It seems hard to cast their
pearls before swine, and so very few
swine too"

rHRnRRrIcAL LIFE.

Flourin's physiological theory that the
age of man is one hundred years, he be
lieving the duration of life to be meas
ured by the time of growth, has been
adopted by Professor Farraday, fhe
delightful theory = delightful because
every man desires to celebrate his Gen.
tennial NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. itself in the
following manner: When oncethe bones
and epiphyses are united the body grows
no more, and it is at twenty years this
union is effected in man. The natural
termination of life is five removes from
the several points. Man being twenty
years in g rowing, lives FIVE times twenty
wears that is to say, one hundred
years; the camel is eight years
in growing, lives FIVE times eight
years-that is to say, forty years; the
horse is FIVE years in growing, and lives
twenty-five years; and so with other an
imals. The man who does not die of
sickness lives anywhere from eighty to
one hundred years Providence has
given man a century to live, but he does
not attain it because he inherits disease,
eats unwholsome food, gives license to
his passions, and permits yexation to
disturb his equipoise; he does not die,
he kills himself. The Professor divides
life into two equal halves-grewth and
decline--and these halves into infancy,
youth, virility and age. Infancy ex
tends to the twentieth year; youth to
the fftieth, because it is during this
time that the tissues become firm; virility
from fifty to seventy-6ve, during which
the organism remains complete; and at
seventy-fve old age commences.
