From Gen. Joseph w. Revero's
excel and Saddle; a Retrospect of
Forty Years of Military and Naval
Service, we quote sketch of what
he saw inl852, when his vessel, the
frigate Constitution, was in the
harbor of Cronstadt. A Government
barge, under the command of a
Russian naval officer, visited the ship.
He says:
"While t. e Russian officer was
engaged i'll the cabin, several of the
boats crew assembled to the deck
and among them the coxswain tall
man in the dark green uniform OF
that humble office, and bearing no
other insignia OF rank then the silver

person walked round the ship decend-
ing to the main deck, where he
minuetely inspected the battery and
other warlike appurtenances. He
evidently wished to remain unobsery-
ed; but his imposing stature and
noble air did not fail to command
attention.
"Our old North Sea pilot at last
observed this ipcognite seaman, and
reported to the officer of the deck
that a parsonage of the highest rank
in Russia was on b ard, and the
Captain Was Immediately appraised Of
his presence and station. Our
commanding officer at once compre-
hended and respected the wishes of
the unknown, but directed such
preparations to be made quietly as
are customary when parsonage of

A VERY REMARKABLE
STORY.

There lived in Brooklyn, not long
ago, a man possessed Of a devil.
He had inherited the devil from his
father, in the first place, and had
nursed it until it grew so strong it
took entire possession of him. The
devil was very familiar one, and
its name was Rum. The man had
many noble instincts, and, better
thin all these, he had a loving.
faithful, brave wife, VINO made skill
full war upon the demon. her hus-
bands master. Recognizing the
fact that her husband was under an
overpowering impulse, that he long
ed and struggled manfully to free
himself frern the passion for drink,
she bent all the energies of her wo-
man-nature to the task of helping
him. She loved, and suffered, and
toiled, until at last the loving, and
suffering, and toiling accomplished
their purpose. She took her has
band by the hand, and shared with
him his struggle, until, after years
of labor, she overcame his devil, and
saw him free man again. Her
battle with Rum had been a fierce
one, taxing and wasting her strength
sorely, bur she was conquerer at
last. Her husband stood upon man
ly feet, and showed no sign of fall
ing again. Several years passed
away, and this reformed man fell i'll
of consumption. The distinguished
physician, from whose lips we have
the story, prescribed alcoholic slim
ulants as the only means possible
Of prolonging his life. The poor
wife was i'll terror, and begged the
physician to recall the prescription.
Size told him of her long struggle
and her victory. and said she pre-
ferred that her husband should die
then, a sober man, than that lie
should fill drunkard's grave yea,
later. But the freed spirit of the
man was strong, and he undertooS
to take alcoholic liquors as a medi.
cine, and to confine himself absolute
ly to such times and measures IL
the matter as the physicians should
prescribe. This he did, and during
the months thus added to his life he
never once drank a single drop more
than the prescription called for. and
he died at last sober man, as the
wife had so earnestly prayed shat he
might. But the end was not yet
When the loving and patient wo-
man laid him III his grave, and saw
her long labors thus ended in the
victory for hich she had toiled 81
hard and suffered so bitterly, she
turned, in grief, to the brandy which
had been left in the house, and
drinking it, she fell herself into the
power Of the devil which she had
fought so heroicalIy. And thai
woman died, not many months later
hopeless, helpless drunkard.

THE MAN OF LONG LIFE.

There is great deal Of truth in
the following portraiture of the con-
ditions favorable to longevity:
He has proper and well-propor-
toned stature, without, however,
being to tall. He is rather of the
middle size, and somew hat thickset.
His complexion is not too horid; at
any rate, to much ruddiness in youth
is seldom sign of longevity. His
hair approaches rather to the fair
than the black; his skin ia strong,
but not too rough. His head IS
not too big; he has large veins at
the extremities, and his shoulders
are rather round than fat. His
neck is not too long; his abdomen
does not project; and his hands are
large, but not too deeply clef d.
His foot is rather thick than long:
and his legs are firm and round.
He has also broad, arched chest,
4 strong voice, and the faculty Of re-
tanning his breath for a long time
without difficulty. In general there
is complete harmony in all parts.
His senses are good, bat not too
DELICATE; his pulse is slow and regu-
lar. IS tH
His stomach is excellent, his APP
petite good, and his digestion easy
The joys of the table are to him of
importance; they tune his mind to
serenity, and his soul partakes in
the pleasure which they communi-
cate. He does not eat merely for
the pleasure of eating, but each
meal is an hour Of daily festivity;
a kind of delight, attended with this
advantage. IN regard to others, that
it does not make him poorer, bur
richer. He eats slowly, and has
not too much thirst. Too great
thirst is always sign of rapid self
consumption.
In general, he is serene, loqua-
cious, active, susceptible of joy. love.
and hope; but insensible to the i'm
pressions Of hatred, anger, and ava
rice. Ills passions never become
too violent or destructive. If he
ever gives way to anger, he expert
ences rather a useful glow of warmth,
an artificial and gentle fever with
out an overflow of the bile He is
fond also of employment, particular
ly calm meditation and agreeable
speculations, is an optimist. friend
to nature and domestic felicity, has
no thirst after honors or riches, con-
tents himself with little, and Danish
es all thoughts of tomorrow.
