Dread Of Death.

Age, that lessons our enjoyment of
life, increases our desire for living.
Those dangers which, in the Vigor of
youth, we had learned to despise, as
sumo new terrOrs as we grow old.
Our caution increasing as our years
increase, fear becomes at last the pre-
vailing passion Of the mind, and the
small remainder of life is taken up in
useless efforts to keep off our end, or
provide for continuous existence.
Whence, then, is this increased love
of life which grows upon us with our
yearsp Whence comes it that we
thus make greater efforts to pre-
when it becomes scarce worth
the keeping? Is is that nature, atten-
tive to the preservation of mankind.
increases our wishes to live, while she
lessons our enjoyment; and, as she
robs the senses of every pleasure,
equips imagination in the spoil? Life
would be insupportable to the old
man who, loaded with inirmities,
feared death no more than when in
the vigor Of manhood; the numberless
calamities of decaying nature, and
the consciousness of surviving
every pleasure, would at once induce
him with his own hand to terminate
the scene of misery; but happily the
contempt of death forsakes him at a
time when it could only be prejudieial
and life acquires an imaginary value
in proportion as its real value is no
more. - Goldsmith in Longmont
Ledger.

a lighted match an inch or 80 above tho oil,
