They Won't Trouble YOU Long.

Children grow mp; nothing on earth
grows so fast as children. IT was but
Yesterday, and that lad was PLAYING
with tops, n buoyant boy. He is a man.
and gone now. There is no more child
hood for him, or for us. Life has
claimed him. When a beginning is
made it is like raveling a stocking, stitch
by stitch gives way till it's all gone.
The house has not child in il; there is
no more noise in the hall, boys rushing
pell-mell; it is very orderly now. There
are no more skates, sleds, balls or strings
left scattered about. Things are quiet
enough now. There is no delay for
sleepy folks; there is no longer any
task, before you lie down, of looking az
ter anybody, or tucking up the bed
clothes. There are no disputes to settle,
nobody to get off to school, no COM
things, no rips to mend, no fingers to
tie up, no faces to be washed, or collars
to be arranged. There was never such
a peace in the house! 1t would sound
like music to have some feet cIatter
down the front stairi Oh for some chill
dren's noisei What used TO all US, that
we Were hushing their loud laugh,
checking their noisy frolic, and reproy-
ing their slamming and banging the
doors?
We wish our neighbors would only
lend us an urchin or two to make a lit
tie noise in these premises. A home
without children! 1t is like lantern
and no candle; a garden and no flowers;
a brook and no water gurgling and gush-
ing through its channel.
We want to be tried, to be vexed, to
be run over; to hear children at work
with all its varieties. During the sec
ular days this is enough marked. But
! il is the Sabbath that puts our homes to
proof. The intervals of public worship
are spaces of peace. The family seems
made up that day. The children are at
home, and you can lay your hand upon
their heads. They seem to recognize
the greater and lesser love-tO God and
to friends. The house is peaceful, but
not still. There is low and melodious
thrill of children in it. But the Sab
bath comes too still now. There is q
silence that aches in the ear. There is
too much room at the table, too much
ut the hearth. The bedrooms are a
world too orderly. There is too much
leisure and too little noise. Alas! what
mean these things? Is somebody grow
/ ing old? Are these signs and tokens ?
Is life waning? III. w. BEECHER.

Long Life.

From time TO time notices appear
mentioning briefly or in detail instances
of extraordinary longevity. The oldest
person of whom we have any recollection
in modern times, was Peter Zortan, a
Hungarian, who died at the age of $50
years. Parr and jenkins were notable
cases of long life among the English,
the former being about $50 and the
latter about 1G0 years of age at the time
of death. Most persons like 10 live long,
and many dread the approach of that
moment when the final summons shall
come.
Bacon states somewhere in his works
that certain great Lord had clOd of
freshly dug earth brought into his room
every morning and laid on a napkin
under his nose, so that he might smell
it, suppOsing that this regimen would
promote his health. Addison, in the
Spectator, mentions briefly the case of
Lewis CornarO, a Venetian gentleman
who lived to a good old age, and who
wrote an account of his own experience
in the art of recovering and preserving
health. The book, which is q curiosity,
was written in the sixteenth century,
the author of it having died at Padua,
April 2G, 1866, aged 100 years. 1t was
translated into English by w. Jones, A.
b., ana an edition OF III was puDllsneu III
Edinburgh in 176S. The title of the
work is, "Sure methods of attaining n
/ long and healthful life" COrnaro wrote
when hewas nearly hundred years old,
and his book is pervaded with practical
/ good sense, cheerfulness and unaffected
piety. In chapter one he treats upon "a
sober and regular life;" in chapter two
upon the "methOd of correcting a bad
constitution" The third chapter con-
/ sists OF a letter to a distinguished man
concerning the method of enjoying a
complete happiness in old age" and the
/ fourth of a treatise on the "birth and
death of man." This curious book is
worth readidg. The following isa short
extract from page 10:
HI am assured that / shall still live
several wears in health, and that | shall
long enjoy the pleasure of being in the
world, which is certainly very comfort
able, when a man knows how to make a
right use of il. / hope to reap greater
satisfaction from hence in the other life,
and i shall lie under obligations to the
virtues of the regimen, to which 1 am
indebted for the victory have obtained
over my passions. Nor is there any
man but may hope for the same happi-
ness, if he would live as have done.p
