Exercising In OLD Age

At eighty q gentleman in New
York city commenced trying to
walk up the stairs of the Evening
Post building, and there are eleven
flights of them, of which there are
nine from the street to his Office.
Any of the elevator men will tell
you that, when the elevator is at all
full, off he will 60 cheerily up all the
nine flights, seemingly none the
worse for it. Within year he also
told the writer that he continued
dumb-bell and club work before
breakfast daily, and simply because
it pays; and he is certainly still a
wiry, active man, even though it is
sixty-two years since he wrote
"Thantaposis." Palmerston, fox
hunting when past eighty; Van
derbilt, no youngster, without
groom or companion, urging his
blooded trotters over Harlem Lane
at a slashing pace; Gladstone, at
sixty eight, telling Harwarden trees
by the hour. and for the benefit the
exercise brings-are but a few in-
stances of what old men can do
when they try. None of these are
more surprising than, in an intel
lectual field, the learning of Ger
man by Caleb Gushing after he had
passed seventy, or Theirs activity
at nearly eighty, or, in all ways,
than Moses's doing the forty years
| best work in his life after he had
passed eighty, and yet with eyes
not dim nor natural force abated. Ii

And which of these things which

In closing an elaborate article on
"Man and Science" IN the Nine
teenth Century for April, DIR. Chas.
Elan says:
"Not because it is utterly dis
gushing and humiliating, but be-
cause the idea is profoundly and ir-
redeemably unsclentIfic, founded on
false data, false conceptions and
false reasoning, do 1 altogether re-
pudiate our 'wOrmy' and spe-iike
ancestry. Upon man everywhere,
debased, degraded, fallen from his
high estate, though he may be, ]

special and divine origin. His com.
mission is to have Jminion over,
not to claim kindred with the beasts
of the earth. His privilege is to do
earnestly, faithfully, and intelli.
gently-not as an irresponsible ma
chine, but as q free agent, able &c
stand, yet free to fall-the work
given him by his Creator"

The Spanish proverb has it &:
"Fruit is golden in the morning
silver at noon, but lead at night"
Americans do not seem to have
heard of this proverb, nor to have
made enc of their own experience
Mostly they eat fruit at night, and
hence have not the sovereign Ides
of it that they would have If they
had eaten 1t at more proper times
They eat It as desert at dinner
This may be the most proper time
to eat dried fruits, but 1t is not the
right time to eat juicy ones. The
Spanish people learned their prov
erb from eating very juicy fruits
like oranges. These should be eat,

The OTHER SIDE.-Referring to
the case of Henrietta Wood, the
mulatto who has secured judgment
IN the United States court of the
southern district of Oaio, against
Zsbulon Ward tor selling her as a
slave, the New York Times says /:
"Every now and again we hear
dreadful thugs of what will hap
pen when the ex-slavehOlders of the
south bring in their bill for the val
ne of slave property destroyed by
the emancipation proclamation.
Did it ever occur to anybody to ask
what would happen il million or
two of ex-siaves should bring an
action for wages unlawfully de-
tanned, and for damages sustained
by reason of being restrained OF
their liberty 2" The Times suggests
that every man who comes to con-
gress winning about the losses OF
the south, sustained through the de-
struction of property in human sla-
very, opens this question, and, once
opened, the people will have both
sides Of this long unsettled account
