A GENERATION ON THE MARCu.--A gener-
alton on the march from the cradle to the
grave is an instructive spectacle and we
have it carefully presented to us in the re-
port by DR.. Farr, an English physician. Let
US trace the physical fortune which any mil
lion of us may reasonably expect. The
number to begin with, is made up Of 51l,.
745 boys and 4SS, 255 girls disproportion
which, by and by, will be redrcssed by the
undue mortality of the boys, and will be re-
versed before the close Of the strange, event
full history More than a quarter of these
children will die before they are five years
old-in exact numbers, l4l, 1897 boys and
III, 795 girls. The two sexes are now
nearly on a level. The next five years will
be much less fatal, in the succeeding FIVE
years-fIom ten to ffteen-the mortality
will be still further reduced. Indeed, for
both sexes, this is the most healthy period
of life; the death-rate, however, is lower for
boys than for girls. There will be some adj
vance in deaths in the next five years. aud
still more in the five which follow, but 634,-
045 will certainly enter on their twenty-sixth
year.
Before the next ten years are at an end,
two-thrds of the women will have married.
The deaths during that period will be g.
052, and Of those no fewer than 81 l34 will
be caused by consumption. Between thirty
FIVE and forty.6ve still larger "death-rol'
will be paid, and little more than half the
original band-in exact numbers, 502,9l5
will enter on their foTty-sixth year. Each
succeeding decade, up to seventy.fve, will
now become more fatal, and the plumbers
will shrink terribly. At seventy-fve only
l6l, l24 will remain to be struck down, and
of those l22 $50 will have persisted by the
eighty fifth year of the march. The 1886;
that remain will soon lay down their burdens
but 2l53 of them will struggle on to bC
ninety five, and 223 to be 100 years old
Finally, in the lOSth year Of the course,
the last solitary life will flicker out. Such
then, is the average lot of a million men aud
women.

Having got the lumber on the spot for n new
house, dozen Of the members get together,
raised and boarded the frame Of his house and
got it ready for the shingle, while he was at
work at the scale shops and at another time
several turned out aud put up his barn and

A vast business has grown up Of late years
in this country in fruit aud the finer food
products. The exchange of perishable pro-
ductions between the several sections Of the
country is greatly beyond what it used to be-.
The early products Of Georgia, the Oarolinas,
Virginia and Jersey successfully load tho
tables of New York and New England,
which formerly waited till their own gardens
came to time. Michigan apples go all over
the country, aud even to Brazil, with Boston
ice, which two staples constituted, at one
time, almost our sole export to that country.
The New England berry market is spoiled
for the native fruit, because people get cloyed
with the earlier products of the warmer
States. Georgia has made specially of mel
ons, aud around Atlanta thousands of them
are produced'and sent all over the country.

A CLERGYMAN's MENAGERIE.-Rev. DR..
Huloch, who for some months acted as Gu.
rate for Rev. Il. j. Everard, rector of sew
eral parishes in Worcestershire, England,
has been sued by the rector for damage
done to the rectory by allowing certain aui-
mails to live in the house. The rector, it
seems, went away for his health, and the
doctor agreed to perform certain part of
his duties, if he could live in the rectory
house, also STIMULATING that he might bring
his animals, which was agreed to, the dsc-
tor promising to settle for any damage the
animals might cause. The defendant came,
and brought all his menagerie. Commence
ing with the minor animals, he brought to
the rectory twenty seven white mice, three
loose pigeons, hawk (allowed to range
about the place., dove which went out and
in the rooms, nine small birds, five large
dogs, three pups, a Skye terrier, squirrel,
three cats and beside these pets there were
five horses and one monkey. The defendant
occupied the rectory from October, 1875 to
April, 1876, and when the plaintiff returned
he found the natural result Of animals kept
in the house. The dogs and the cats, the
squirrel and the monkey, had been quart
cred in various bed.rooms-the rooms they
occupied having carpets and curtains. The
plaintiff found his rectory a perfect pest
house, and it was impossible for him to in-
habit it until after a thorough renovation.
He estimated the damage at ESQ to EGO,
aud obtained formal verdict in his favor,
the amount to be decided by referees.

The affrighted proprietor and his shopmen
crept up into sort Of loft, where they lay

On entering the bazaars all tumult was at an
end, for not single shop was to be seen
open, everything being closed for the day, and
in fact had been so for several hours previous
to the arrival of these bold volunteers,
amongst whose ranks several noted brigands
might have been recognized, whose crimes
were oblterated, perhaps, by their readiness
to serve their country in such time OF

were reviewed, they were ordered to proceed

lug they would rather lose their heads. How

seen 10 bodies Of six or ten, sirolliDg about

OCTOBER AHEAD OF ITS TIME.-The wealth
er is no respecter of seasons, and the north
wind pays no regard to the boundaries Of the
months. BY the calendar this is earlg Sep
TENDER but the days and nights are Of early
October. With the morning sunlight n keen
clarity and vigor animate the air and spur
mems nerves, aud the physical and
the spiritual alike feel a tonic exaltation.
The strong, steady breeze feels as coldly
pure as if it had sprung from remote snow
fields, and touched nothing less immaculate
since; yet the sun has made it kindlier, and
the mountains have given it their free aroma,
The woods, now, are full of the wild scent
that thrills the brain so deliciously, with its
burden of spiky pine and fir, Of fern and
grass and ageng LEAKAGE. The insect-singing,
that has been so shrill persistent, now, save
for an hour or two of mid-day, is dulled and
grows melancholy, Now the birds have a
fashion of gathering IN field and fence-rail
conferences little sparrows chippering to
tipping yellow-hammers, fat wrens bobbing
around the darting swallows. while the bob
olink, grown sober since June, sits farther
off on the meadow and the tutted
blue,jay screams from tree. The weather
plainly makes them think of their wintering.
And so it does the rest of us. What there
is to come of summer, after such an irrup.
ton of autumn as this, is a mere memory
and shadow Its spirit has gone. The
nights are chill, and we who have CRATES and
chimney.places light the open fires and close
the windows evenings and think OF thicker
clothing-if we are wise we put it on. And
when we have committed ourselves in that
way, there is no getting back the summer
feeling, even with all the encouragement the
sun and the mercury can give us.-S. Re.

Letter from Rev. syvanus Cobb, of Boston, editor oil
the "Christinn FreemanU

Dear Sir-lt may be some satisfaction to you to be
informed Of the result of tho trial of the "Peruvan
syrup IN my family. My daughter was brought low
by typhoid fever last spring. aud after the fever left
her she continued very weak, and tho simplest food
distressed her For months she remained in the same
dobiliated conditions but from the first of September
last when she commenced taking the Syrup, the d..
gcstive functions improved and she steadily gained
strength and viVacity, and now, having taken two
bottles, she is restored TO good state of health in
deed, she appears more healthy than she has for
al years past am of the opinion that the protOxde
Of Iron" contained in the Peruvian syrup, was
adapted to her case, and effected what no other med-
cine could have effected.

A MYsTERY.-One Of the funniest puzzles
! of the day is the fact that farmers who, as
class, are apt to possess good solid COM
mon sense, are so easily and repeatedly taken
in by travelling swindlers. Every week or
so comes story Of some peripatetic vender
of worthless patent, or some representative
of bogus city firm, who takes 10 the iuhab-
itants OF rural districts in the most bare
faced manner, and that, too, without much
skill or pains Many of the frugal cultiva-
tors of the soil in New England are so econ
omical, to put it mildly, that they will let
their wives tug water from well six rods
from the house, because they "cannot afford
to put pump in the kitchen; they will al
low the dining-room to he dark, gloomy and
i!l.ventilated, when the addition of a window
would render the room cheerful, bright and
wholesome, because Of the expense necessary
for Improvement they will get along with
WORKOUT furniture, insufficient crockery and
dilapidated cook stoves because they cannot
afford better but they are always ready to
sign fraudulent agreement for some new
tangled agricultural machine, whereby they
are sooner or later cheated out Of enough
money to have made their homes decent,
convenient and pleasant, and so to have ad-
ded years of comfort and happiness to the
lives Of their overburdened wives.-W Watch.

The Wool CLIP.-The total wool clip of
the United States, last year, was l03,0OO,-
600 pounds. This year, 1t will probably
fall a little short of this, Yet, in keeping
up this aggregate the States west Of the Mis-
sissippi have increased their productions
some 100000 pounds, an amount equal
to the decrease in the States east of the
Mississippi, Thus the better class of cloth
woods are falling off, while tho inferior quail
tiles are increasing, Australian woods brings
80 cents in the American market and only
% cents in the London market. But the
Australian grower can realize a profit by
selling his clip ut II cents, while the Ameri-
can grower requires 30 cents to make the
same quality of wool.growing profitable,
Last year. at the commencement of the clip
the price ranged from 40 to 45 cents this
year, it was from % to 80 cents, wholly
owing to the prostraton in the manufacture
ing interests, The general opinion seems to
be that the recent rise of from 3 to 1 cents
was brought about by spectators, aud that
there can be no real advance until there is
a revival of business in the manufacturing
districts.
