HOW LONG CAN WE LIVE? {From the Welcome (London) Guest.} The astute old gentleman who, when carry- ing a bundle of sticks, found his burden too heavy, and called upon Death to hel him, when he found his call answered, totalt ob- jected to the assistance proffered, and wished to carry the bundle a little longer. The fable, as related by Msop, and after him by MM. Phoedrus and Pilpay, and the learned Dr. Croxall, is not without its moral. The latter has, indeed, placed his in a conspicuous light at the very end of the fable. [t is this - The bundle of sticks, Life; the assistance proffered, a sessation of being. It is refuaed— ergo, the old man wishes é0 live as long as he can, and 80 we do allofus. QED. Accepting this not only az a truth, but as a truism, how gladly will all our readers find that, presuming they carry about them no mor- tal disease, they can live just as long as they like! The duration of life, in fact, depends very much on aman himself. We have no ne- cessity of dying early. Be wise, be prudent, and you will be juvenescent at 70, and lay into eternity at the green old age of 150. So ery the French savans. Let us see how they can prove their facts. Let us, zamprimus, as- sure cur readers that in writing about life we are not going to do anything especially wicked. We acknowledge, as fully as Mr. Spurgeon himself, that our days are in the hands of a Being omniscient and all-wise; but we must be all aware that that Being acts upon humanity by human causes. He who adds anything to life should be blessed, and yet he is not unfre- quently cursed. The introducers of vaccina- tion have been anathematized, and those who first proposed to alleviate human suffering by chloroform were thought guilty of presuming to meddle with the decrees of Providence. Against this kind of ostracism we appeal. Sol- omon has indeed declared that the years of a man’s life are threescore and ten; but we may remember that the duration of life was not al- ways so curtailed, and we may reasonably sup- pose that it will not, or rather need not, al- ys be so. Dr. Corsival, of Paris, has introduced pepsen, an artificial gastric juice, which seems likely to supercede any necessity for new teeth, by giving to the stomach of an old man or woman the vigorous digestion of youth. This juice is equally powerful as the natural product. It will decompose carbonate of soda and attack iron filings. Everything, indeed, seems to aid uz in our attempts toward attaining a decent longevity. ur sight, if it fails, can be strengthened and improved; our digestion can be renovated; a new inside, the great desider- atum of the invalid, is not out of his reach; his hair—vide the advertisements—need never “fall of’ nor “become gray;’’ his shape, if we believe the tailor, may still retain its beauty and manly form; and should he attend to the paternal and maternal advice of the venders of Kalydor and other cosmetics, his cheeks at 60 will glow with the bloom and color of 16. There is, therefore, only one ques- tion to be answered—How long can we live? To ascertain this, M. Buffon, Cuvier, Flou- rens, and those savans who have turned their attention to work out ays gorse: Proceed by analogy. The duration of life with the horse and with other animals of the higher species, is proportionate to the time expended in their growth. ‘Man, who takes fourteen years to grow,’ says Buffon, ‘may live six or seven times as long.’ This idea appears to be cor- rect, but the method in which Buffon eluci- itis not so. Man grows for niore than If he lived seven times as long, the ordinary life would be 938, which, with per- fectly healthy individuals, is not now, in the present sophisticated state of society, extraor- dinary. = M. Flourens has, it appears to us, improved on the working out of Buffon’s idea. A!l the larger animals, he observes, live five times as long as the time expended by them in reach- redly bri 8 ‘ th of ‘in rink ng us “len, i ij hand,” and 3 her loft tiohes ced plhews right ae The London Times on It was some yoars since Mr Sumner h: raised his voice ‘in the Assembly to which i a The results which followed his on- slaught on slavery are still in the remem- brance of every one. In 1856, when the Union was + ane by the contest between Buchanan and Fremont, and party spirit was at its high- est, Mr. Sumner delivered an anti-slavery Speech almost as strong as that of the other day. A Mr. Brooks, a member of the Lower House, exasperated by Mr. Sumner’s language, and porter urged on by rowdy friends, fero- ciously assaulted him while he was si ting quietly in his chair, inflicted such severe inju- ries as endangered Mr. Sumner’s life, and forced him to retire for a time from public af- fairs. Brooks has since gone to his account. and we need say no more of him; but the Sen- ator from Massachusetts has not learnt tem- perance of language from the incident which nearly ended his days. The speech which Produced the assault was offensively acrimo- rent but the last one seems entirely to over- op it. The Southern gentry pride themselves on the possession of high and what are called “chivalrous” qualities. Mr. Sumner, know- ing this, makes an oration on the barbarism of slavery. It may certainly be said that s man has a right to stigmatize as barbarous those who defended and even prrised his would-be murderer; but Mr. Sumner ought to know that it is immoral as well as unstatesmanlike to provoke men of violent temper, and that by s0 doing he only ery down the yoke still closer on the neck of the slave. But he puts himself forward as if purposely to aggravate his opponent. Every sneer, every cutting epi- thet, every provoking insinuation which he can call up, he uses for the purpose of galling his antagonists, ‘Slavery must breed barbarians,”’ he observes; “it developes everywhere alike, in the individual and in the society of which he forms part, the essential elements of barba- tism.’’ ‘Violence, brutality, injustice, barba- rism, must be reproduced in the lives of all who live within their fatal sphere.”” The maz- ter “shares the barbarism of the society which he keeps,’’ and soon. We must, in the name of English abolitionism at least, protest against these foolish and vindictive harangues. Scarce- iy has the frenzy caused by John Brown’s out rage begun to die away than out comes Mr. Sumner with a speech which will set the whole South ina flame. We can well believe that the prospects of the republican party have been already damaged by it. Mr. Sumner is one of of that class of politicians who should be muz- sled by their friends. The man who can in personal irritability so forget the interests of a great cause, is its worst enemy. Slavery ex- isted on the American continent long before the Assembly of which Mr. Sumner is a mem- ber. On it depends, or is supposed to depend, the prosperity of half the Union; the looms of Lancashire and Normandy, as well as those of Mr. Sumner’s own State, are supplied by slave- grown cotton, and hundreds of millions of northern dollars are vested in slave-worked plantations. Slavery, with its roots thus deep in the soil, is not to be rooted up by any peevish effort of rhetoric; and we may predict that the man who first gains a victory for the eause of abolition will be of very different temper to the Senator from Massachusetts. ers Harangue. A Russian Princess Becomes A Sister or Cuarity.—The retreat from the circles of society where she was so admirably fitted by person, graces, intellect, and position to take the leading part, says a Paris letter, shocked all reasonable people when it became a matter of public knowledge that the Princess de Na- riskin was on the eve of becoming anun. Her name tells you she was a Russian Princess. ing maturity. Thus: : Her family was most bitterly opposed to her The camel grows for 8 years and lives...... 40-] taking the vail.

She became, and is now, a Sister of Charity. Such are the inexplicable mysteries of human nature. Give one rank, birth, fortune, all the gifts this world can sire siges, he aspires to a life of austerity, no velvet has charms at all comparable to the coarse, woolen garb of the religious order. Place another without rank, or birth, or fortune—he will swindle, he will sully his name, he will crimson his hand in his brother's blood, he will affront all the By « physical analogy, therefore, the ordin- ary life of a man should be 100 years at least. The term fixed by Solomon, three score yoars and ten, wants thirty years of this; the aver- age life of men of the upper classes 50; of tradesmen, those occupied in business and hard workers, 55; of the laboring classes, 65; of the factory workers, 70. What we wish to impress upon our readers is that the act of attaining a very long life is « science and a certain one, if we believe M. Flourens—the most recent and the best author- ity upon the subject.

A glutton and debauchee, if we believe gold, even of fame. ‘‘What shadows we are— his own words, he was at an early age given over by the doctors; he determined to cure himself and prolong his life. He did so by ex- treme sobriety, and died at the age of 110, or thereabouts, in full possession of his cheerful- ness, his wit, and his faculties. As he has told us how he did this, in his Discorst della Vite Sobria, we may as well give our readers the benefit. Firstly, we must lead, says he, a so- ber life. ““A soberlife is a life of order, of rule, of temperance.”” aera eat so much as will unfit the mind for its usual exertions. We must not pass suddenly from one extreme to another, bat change slowly and cautiously. We must eat plain snd wholesome food. We aiust proportion the quantity to the age and strength of the eater, and the kind of sed. {008 net never allow the appetite for food or drink to regulate the quantity we take; that is, we must always eat under satiety. This kind of sobriety made Cornaro a new kind of man, and the wonder of his age. “From it,”’ he eries fervidly, ‘‘spring, as from a root, life, health, cheerfulness ‘ily in- dustry, mental labor. Laws divine and human favorit. From it, like clouds from the sun, fly repletiows, indigestions, gluttonies, super- fluities, humors, distempers, fevers, griefs, the perils of deatb.”’ ns There ean be no doubt but that Cornaro is right, What he exbibited in his own person (be was of a weakly constitution) anybody may exhibit in theirs. LInvalids, who from a par- tiewlar reason are obli to diet themselves, what shadows we pursue.”’ Fist Bioop Sagp ror Linerty ix tHE Revotvtionary War.—The first blood shed in defence of liberty, and in opposing English oppression, was in the South. The State of North Carolina—the “Old North State.”’ and twin-sister of South Carolina—is entitled to the honor. It was during the gubernatorial administration of the notorious Gov. Tryon, the English Governor at the time, who built one of the most splendid palaces in either North or South America, at Newbern, N. C., with the proceeds of taxes imposed upon the people for the purpose, and to resist which taxation a portion of them rebelled, just as did the men of Massachusetts afterwards. It took lace in the year 1771, and is narrated by Mr. heeler in his History of North Carolina. On the 16th of May, in that year, a battle was fought between the American and British forces on the banks of the Alamance river, in what is known now as the county of that name, called the battle of Alamance. The American forces were called the ‘‘regulators,’’ from their efforts in endeavoring to bring about an equit- able regulation of taxes and other oppressive matters. The American forces amounted to two thousand, and were headed by three men named Husbands, Hunter, and Butler; while the British forces, including militia called out by Tryon, amounted to upwards of eleven hun- dred, but had the advantage greatly in arms and disciple. As might have been expected, the Americans were defeated, after an action of two hours, with a loss of twenty dead and frequently live very long.

We could multiply nar yee cuttings — country newspapers would give us a perfec per was le de richesses of old le. Both men and women seem to be capable of a great- er extension of natural life; and Buffon, who paid much attention to this subject, declared that in hisday the majority of Frenchmen died before middle age of ‘chagrin and ill- temper.’’ There is a great deal of truth in this, not only as = Frenchmen, but Eng- lishmen, also. ppointinent, cares, mis- GRUMBLER: f you find disposed to complain of the coldness of the world, be sure you will find that he has never brou, any- thing into tue world to warm it, but is a per- sonal lump of ice set in the midst of it.
