Life Lengthened.

l. Cultivate an equable temper
many man has fallen dead in a fit OF
passion.
. 2. Eat regularly, not over thrice a
day, and nothing between meals.
8. Go to bed at regular hours. Get
up as soon as you wake of yourself,
and do not sleep in the daytime, at
least not longer than ten minutes be-
fore noon.
4. Work always by the day, and
not by the job.
5. Stop working before you are
i" tagged out"
commodating temper,
Z. Never cross bridge before you
come to it; this will saye half the
troubles of life.
8 Never eat when you are not hun
cry, nor drink when you are not
thirsty.
9. Let your appetite always come
uhinvited. ai
10. Cool off in place greatly
warmer than the one in which you
have been exercising this simple rule
would prevent incalculable sickness,
and save millions of lives every year.
Ill. Never resist call of nature for
single moment.
II. Never allow yourself to become
chilled Through and through" it is
this which destroys SO many every
year, in few days sickness, by pneu-
monia, called by some, lung fever or
inflammation of the lungs.
13. Whoever drinks no liquids at
meals will add years of pleasurable
existence to his life. Of cold or
warm drinks, the former are most per-
nicious; drinking at meals induces
persons to eat more than they other
wise would, as anyone can verify by
experiment; and it is excess in eating
that devastates the land with sickness
suffering and death.

sh eddinr One,sI skin. .

No animal is exempt from the oper-
ations of the law of desquematioD.-
Birds shed their feathers annually,
serrents their skins, quadrupeds their
hair, and Holsters and crabs their
shells.
So it is with humanity. The skin,
instead of being thrown off annually,
as with those referred to, is all the
time wearing off, and therefore. con-
stantly being renewed,
The scarf skin is insensible. 1t is
to the true skin or cuts cecd what the
rough, scaly bark of tree isoto the

In the use of our hands, feet and or
dinary exercise of the body, fragments
of skin are constantly rubbed off, so
that it may be truly said every living
person is always shedding that tissue.
Ii that process were interrupted, as
it is partially, by some who neglect to
avail themselves of the benefits Of
water, the pores become clogged, and
their utility in the preservation, of
health destroyed. Thus the actual
amount of scarf skin dropping of.

would be about equal to the thickness

How the Skull Paotects the
Brain.

A child bears knocks that would be
fatal in old age. This is owing to the
skull being thin, uniform in texture,
and elastic, in childhood; and to the
brain being of corresponding struc-
ture. The brain is, at this age, soft to
degree that would be unnatural in
mature years. This resistency of the
skull, and yielding quality of the brain
explains how the child is uninjured
by blows which would be attended
with fatal concussion in after life.
But there is also provision in adults
for moderating the effect of such ac-
cidents. In proportion as the brain
acquires firmness during growth, a
gradual change takes place in the
structure of the bones of the head !;
the projecting cranium is not simply
strengthened; it is not merely thick
ened the fiat bones which surround
the brain are split into layers, an In
ternal and external one. Those layers
have each different density, and a
softer substance than either is inter-
posed between them; the effect of
which is, to interrupt that vibration,
which would otherwise ring around
the skull and reach every molecule Of
the brain.-PhrenologicdL Journal.

An old MANS Apology fol
NnAfsnnc Mo rr.iad

J.J. Petit, father of the Lieutenant
Governor of Wisconsin, was married
On ihe 2lst ultimo. AS he is some
hing Younger than Methuselah was
at the time of his death, there is hope
or Younger bachelors. The old gem
tlepan, however, deems it necessary
to apologize for his new departure, BY
sending the following to the Kenosha
| Telegraph:
Doctor H Mckinley
MY OLD FRIEND:--The "Divine
Poet' of England said, or apostro-
phized, Domestic happiness-thou
only bliss of Paradise that has sur
vived the fall !" Even Moses, the an
cient Hebrew prophet, lett on record
that God said, /" 1t is not good the
man should be let alone," and there
fore, in strange way, He provided
g help-meet" for him.
All experience the world over has
shown that if domestic companion
ship is the perfection of mans happi-
ness at the age of %, it is a greater
necessity to its completion, after fifty
years of his earthly pilgrimage has
passed like vision away.
If the "single stick" of bachelor
I lslfdinanitp-is Justly seoled upon with a
degree Of contempt after he passes
thirty wears, who can be surprised
that.if, by bereavement, we are made
solitary at so, and tcilftclly continue
alone, that we soon lose social posi-
tion-first merely tolerated by former
friends and neighbors, and then treat
| ed as social nuisances
For over eight weary years you and
have, on the solitary, lonely and
single plan, tried to exc out all of hu-
man1ty that we supposed God had in
tended should fall TO our lot, and we
have made a total failure of it. There
could be no change, with ordinary
Judgment to guide us, but would be
for the better.
A coat with but one sleeve is but
half coat any way you can fix it, un-
less you add the lacking sleeve.
Scissors for an editor, with no fast
ening "joint," would be a poor in
strumeDt for him to cut out his Sc
lections.
Tongs with but one leg are convert
ed int a mere poker ofa poor fire.
Bellows with but one handle are
usually thrown aside as useless, not
capable of raising a "puff" under the
editorial headlng.
So it matters not how intrinsically
good and worthyof esteem you may
be, still, if that goodness is confined
to us (self) alone, we but half live ont
the manifest intention of our creation.
Now, doctor, after you get over
laughing at and about me, (Which
suppose will take about an hour) do
thou 60 and do like qoiSe," and no
longer drag your single-horse cart
through Kenosha between thills, but
get up full double team, well har-
messed, and hitch it to new "turn-
out" and then g go ahead
Fare you well, my dear doctor, and
a thousand good wishes for your rem
ovation and future success.
Yours truly,
j. j. PETIT.

How Hanging Feels.

A Frenchman, writing to the Paris
Gaulois, gives an account of his sem
5ations while hanging himself. which
may be of benefit to persons OF q sui
cidal turn of mind, and who would
like to know "what the thing Is like"
As if preparing to hang up his coat,
he drove nail into the wal, and there
from suspended himself by looped
cord, which he fastened about his
neck, and then slowly kicked away his
chair. From the crown oil his head to
the soles of his feet he felt general
mixing up of the fluids of the body"
This was succeeded by a flashing, dam
cling light before his eyes, and then
concentrated at single focus, and
thence rippled into space in concen-
trio circles. His head seemed COM
pressed in an iron ring needles with
out number seemed to dart from the
ends of his fingers and toes; then
there was a terrible swapping at the
nape of his neck, and a serpent seem
ed to wriggle down ibis spine. His
last sensation was one ofpain at the
throat and shoulder blades. He had
expected to wake up and find himself
dead. but kind--or unkind--friends
cut him down.

Excavations in Ancient Troy i.

Strange and curious revelations are
coming forth as the results of the eX-
cavations now going on under the di-
rection of DR.. Henry Schilemann. He
is working at Mont Hissarlik, for the
Pergamon of Priam and his excava-
tions have reached depth of thirty
three feet, passing through layers of
rubbish, which, contrary to his ,expec-
tations, yielded finer wrought stone
implements-as hammers, hatchets-
the deeper he went. He has now en-
tered a stratum abounding in metallic
antiquities, such as nails, knives, Ian
ces, battle-axes, all so well made and
elegantly finished that they could
have been produced only by civilized
people. He is, therefore, obliged to
retract his opinion that in the stone
layers and burial mounds of the plain
of Troy, we have relics of an epoch
centuries earlier than that of the ex-
ploits of the Achilles and is now con-
vinced that that he has not yet come
to the depth of the Trojan age.
AS further corroboratien of his un-
usual transition from savage to cul-
tivated period, he cites the discovery
of letters, and brief inscription OF
Pheneeian character, made,by point
ed instrument upon little thin plate
of terra Gotta, whitened on one side
also another, quite surrounding one OF
those perforated balls of earthenware,
which were at first supposed to be
weaving weights Or net sinkers, but
now are supposed to be votiye pledg-
es, or even idols, SO great was the care
taken in their ornamentation.. Below
these appeared bell-shaped drinking
vessels, adorned with chaplets little
three-footed pots, with larger ones,
having four closed handles in the
shape of ears, ;and uncommonly larg e
burial urns, often between three and
four feet wide, whole fragments W ere
so abundant as to impede the work of
excavation. Besides these occurred
cylinders and balls of white marble,
together with the stones of hand mills
in great number. Walls of buildings
were commonly built of unknown
stone, cemenred with clay. sYRss ~,
