Theory of Life.

The late Professor Faraday adopted
the theory that the natural age of
man is one hundred years. The dura-
ton of lie he believed to be measured
by the time of growth In the camel
ahis takes eight, in the horse FIVE, in
the lion four, In the dog two, in the
rabbit one year. The natural termina--
tion is FIVE years from these several
points. Man, being twenty years in
growing, lives FIVE times twenty years
that is one hundred; the camel is
eight years in growing and lives forty
years; and so with other animals The
man who does not die Of sickness
lives everywhere from eighty to one
hundred years. Tue professor divided
life into equal halves, growth ard de-
cline, and these into infancy, youth,
virility, and age. Infancy extends to
the twentieth year, youth to the IF
tieth, because it is the period the It's
sues become firm, virility from fifty to
seventy-fve, during which time the or
ganism remains complete, aud at
seventy-fve old age commences. To
last as the diminuition Of reserved
forces is hastened or retarded.

THE MULE

~ s'.S ~ .f~A'Ase5 t'''' ~ s|.~'SeS>-5 y
Leader to the members of the press,
Mr.. w. A.. Wilkins, of the Whitehall
Times, was called npon to reply to the
toast, "Mules-the backbone of the
raging canaln With the air Of phi
lanthropist, he spoke as follows:
Il love mule. / will stand to bis
back-if you will only chain down his
heels. For four years ! have watched
the noble beast hauling boats on the
canal, while have hauled in my sala-
ry as cana! collector with promptness
and dispatch
This much abubsed and greatly
slandered animal is virtually the back
bone of out canals, but he is the front
al-bone, side-bone, lucky-bone and
bone-anza to canal officials
When Noah started out with his
floating m menagerie, containing the
largest collection of living wild ami
mails and birds Of previous to
Barnum's day--it was the mule that
towed the ark.
No matter how the storm ragged, no
matter how the pillows rolled, the
mule waded right along in the tow
path, with his ears way above high
water mark, furnishing pure air from
heaven to keep the breath in the ami
mails body
Ever since that time he has held his
own on that tow-path. This mule has
done more for commerce than any
other bird in existence, not excepting
the American eagle. Like the ballet
dancer, it corners its attractions in its
heels, and knows how to use 'em, and
bring down the house and tickle bald
heads. A good road mule is the con-
centrated essence of dynamite, nitro
glycerine and Susan B. Hnthony's
tongue. A canal without a mule
would be like Hamlet without Booth,
Joe Cook without dictionary, Denis
kearney without the Chinese, Bob
IngersoIl without certain hot place,
Massachusetts, without Ben Butler
and Chicago girl without number
eleven shoe.
But, gentlemen of the photographic
fraternity, how much wEowe the mule
When we need good, fresh joke we
saddle the mule. When we want
something with hornets nest tied tc
it, we tackle the mules heels. When
we realize the sublime jokes which
our fertile brains nave evolved from
the mule, is it any wonder that the
animal Kicks back once in a while!
The mule belongs to botf
divine and profane history. Dl
vine history tells US that the
mule sassed Balaam, while few mo
ments walk on any canal tow-patl
will convince us that tow-path angel;
of profane history sass the mule.
The mules heel is the greatest O
natures trip hammers. His ears rise
towards heaven and tickle the angel.

His he-hawl comes to us gently OF
the soft clear air, reminding US o
angels whisperings when they have

American bird, and when he roars ht
makes others sore-it he can reacl
them with his heels. But just pause

WITH The DEAD LEAVES.
FROM TnE JAPANESE.

Watching the dead leaves drifting along,
Urged by the keen winds restless feet
Tossed here and there in shuddering rhrong,
Through the alleys and lanes Of the rain-swept
street,
wanders my mem'ry back to the time
When wooed my love with sigh and rhyme.
Then it was spring, ard the sun-rays shone
On fresh young tibts from coudless SKY
And with my sweetheart strolleu alone
To tell her my souls deep eestaey,
kissed her smiles, and nv thoughts love mad,
He'er dreamed that the future could be sad.
But winter came, and the green leaves fell,
Ny Loves soul went to the DreanIland shore;
And the wind with The dead leaves sang the knell
OF the good true heart should WOO no more;
So when hear the leaves aud the rain
think Of my love and live again.
