DURATION OF LIFE.

Button, the naturalist, makes the
following calculations on the dur
ability of life: From the best calcu-
lations only one out of 1910 reach
the age of one hundred. Of 1,O0C
infants nursed by the mother, about
300 die; of the same number
nursed out 500 die. More people
live to a great age in elevated stu
atoms than in lower ones.
Of the children born alive, one
fourth die before eleven months, one
third before the twenty-third month,
nalf before their eighth year, two
thirds of mankind die before their
thirty-ninth year, three-fourths be-
fore their ifty-frst year, and of
about $4,000 only one survives a
whole century.

ZEAL LITTLENEss OF MAN
vdnsy Smith Could See No Reason
for Him TO Revsi In He
Greatness.

Take some quiet, sober moment of
life and add together the two ideas
IF pride and of man behold him, a
creature of a span high, stalking
through infinite space in all the
grandeur of littleness. Perched on
little speck of the universe, every
wind OF heaven strikes into his blood
the coldness of death; his soul fleets
from his body, like melody from the
string; day and night, as dust on
the wheel, he is rolled along the
heavens, through a labyrinth of
worlds, and all the systems and Gre
atoms of God are flaming above and
beneath.
Is this creature to revel in his
greatness? Is this a creature to
make to himself a crown of glory, to
deny his own flesh and blood and to
mock at his fellow, sprung from that
dust to which they both will soon
return? Does the proud man not
err? Does he not suffer? Does he
not die? When he reasons, is he
never stopped by difficulties? When
he acts, is he never tempted by
pleasures? When he lives, is he
free from pain? When he dies. can
he escape from the common grave?
Pride is not the heritage OF man;
humility should dwell with frailty
and atone for ignorance, error and
imDarfection -Svdpev Smith
