I Of all the delicate sensations the mind is capable of, none perhaps, will surpass j that which attends the relief of an avow- I ed enemy. The single effort hy which we stop short in the downward path to perdition, is itself a greater exertion of virtue than a hundred acts of justice. Whoever is courteous, honest, frank, ! sincere, truly honorable, generous and candid. is a true gentleman, whether rich, learned' or a laborer.

There is nothing purer thanhonestv; 1 nothing sweeter than charity; nothing i warmer than love; nothing richer than ' wisdom; nothing brighter than virtue; nothing more steadfast than faith. Integrity is the first moral virtue, be- : ncvolcnce the second, and prudence' the third; without the first, the two latter cannot exist, and witout the two former the latter would lie often useless.

I An article in the last number of Jilack wood’s Magazine, on the above subject, i holds out the idea that the age of man should he one hundred years instead of i'ur,-e-score s 1 ten. Tho author says: He do not simply die; wo usually kill ourselves. Ouv habits, our passions, our anxieties of body and mind; these short -1 cn our lives, and prevent us from reach ing the natural limits of our exist ence.” Gluttony, he asserts, destroys more lives than intemperate drinking, , and yet, "it is the fashion to restrict the term sobriety to the moderate use of li quors.” A sober life no doubt implies moderation iu all things—in eating, | drinking, and the enjoyment of all the pleasures of life. But although we have read nud hoard much of moderation in eating and in drinking, the difficulty has i always arisen in our minds respecting i the true standard of moderation. What lisitV who will detino it '! The standard ! suitable for one is not for another. No : —temperance in all things. Hat no man | can or should set up his own standard for his neighbor. And yet it, may truly i he said, that general rules for temperance j may ho set down, which if followed, ! would he of immense benefit; such as 1 not to eat so much as will unfit the mind for its usual exertions; or so much as will make the body heavy and torpid. Not to pass hastily from one extreme of living to another, hut to change slowly, and cautiously, to eat plain and whole some food, and to proportion its quantity i to the temperament, tlc age, and strength ot the eager. Not to allow tho appetite for food and drink to regulate tile quanti ty to he taken, hut experience, void of sensual desire.” This •rule, if follow ed. will tend to promote health, and tints lead to it great length of days and years jin man’s existence; still there is a natur al period for man to exist, and neither food, drink, nor sobriety can place him bay mid that. VVe find that each species ot animal lias its la(nndarv of iifr and so j ‘ • imadey, youth, j I middle age, old age, ~ud then comes the winding sheet ami the narrow house. llut how long docs his existence 'last, ; how many years encircle his natural j life? These are important questions. IN e find that thirty years is considered Ito he a generation; ‘that is the whole! ' world is re-peopled every thirty years ! with a new race, aud a like number j departs from it in that period, llut no : : person considers thirty years as the nat- i ttral term of man’s life— seventy years | being generally set down as that limit. A book, however, recently published in Paris, by M. Flourens, which has creat ed no small sensation in that city, places | old age at eighty-five years, and the complete natural life of man about a cen tury. He places first manhood from that j of seventy, instead of old ago at that pc- , riod. \\ e are inclined to accept his ■ view of the question ns the most correct j one. lluffon, the naturalist, entertained such an opinion. Tho rule of life laid down hy him is, that animals live from six to seven times the number of years required to complete their growth, such as the horse, which completes its growth j a 1 four years, lives from twenty to twen ty-four years, and a man who takes! eighteen years to reach his full growth i may live more than a hundred year*. — There are hut few men who live to a 1 hundred years, and just as few horses 1 that live to twenty-four, hut that affords 1 no reason why many men, and almost all men of a sound constitution may not live for a century. The table of M. Flour- ' cns relating to life is as follows: Man grows 20 years, and lives 00—100 The camel 8 “ “ 40 The horse 5 “ “ 25 The Ox 4 “ “ 15 or 20 Tho dog 2 “ “ 10 or 12 This is sot is:: what dMfrrrnt froth ttnffnn, lint he sets it down as a lixed rule that ; all large animals live about live times ! longer than the time required for their ! full growth. This question is one of deep importance hi the whole human family. It is one to which the ingenious Frenchman has brought a great amount of knowledge in investigation, and lie holds up science, as presenting to all men a life of sobriety, a very extended 1 I uud of existenco. —Scicnt ijic .

' / It may be a consolation to those who ! | have felt the influence of the late long and protracted dry weather to kiiow tluit droughts are one of the natural causes j jto restore tho constituents of crops and! renovate cultivated soils. The diminu tion of the mineral matter of cultivated soils takes place from two causes: Ist. Tho quantity of mineral matter j carried off in crops and not returned to , the soil in manure. 2d. The mineral matter carried off by I 1 rain water to the sea by means of freslj 1 i water streams. i These two causes, always in operatior ' 1 and counteracted by nothing, would i, j : | time render the earth a barren waste hi) mvliich no verdure would quicken and yJ 1 “olitary plant take root. A rational ' i system of agriculture would obviato/tlie ' niTT (IMM, uC*CucUiLy. by always yfstor- Img ta the so,l an c<jniva]euf ft,v that 1 [ winch is taken off by the crops; g,ut a tliis is not done in all cases, Ifrovidenec t j has provided away of its own to coau .l teract the thriftlessness of man, by in-' stltuting droughts at proper periods to I I bring up from the deep parts of the earth , j food on which plants might feed when r “'ns should again fall. ' The manner in I which droughts exercise their beneficial influence is as follows. During dry weather a continual evaporation ofwater takes place from the surface of the earth, I which is not supplied hy any from tie clouds. The evaporation from the sur face creates a vacuum, (so far as vvatn is concerned) which is at once filled hv ! the water rising up from the subsoil of the land ; the water from the subsoil i rcplnecd from the next strata below,And in this manner tho circulation of wlu v in the earth is the reverse to that which i takes place in wet leather. This pro-1 grass to the surface of tho water in the earth manifests itself strikingly in the drying up of springs, and of rivers aid streams which are supported hy springs, j i It is not, however, only the water which I is brought to the surface of the earth, I Imt also all that which the water holds j 'in solution. These substances are salts of lime, and magnesia of potash, and! | soda, and indeed whatever the subsoil | or deep strata of tho earth may contain. 1 The water on reaching the surface of the Auil is evaporated and leaves behind the I mineral salts, which I will hero enume rate, viz: Lime, as air-slacked lime, magnesia, as air-slacked magic ia ; phosphate of lime, or hone earth; sal- i phnto of lime, or plaster of J’uris; car . Imnate of potash, ami soda, with silicint 1 jof potash and soda, and also chlorid • of | sodium or common salt. All indispen j sable to tho growth and production of plants which are used fi r food. I’urc rain water an it falh wool 1 dissolve hit, a my small proportion ofsome of those I substances, but when it becomes soaked into th(> earth it there becomes strongly I ("dd "ith cartiunfrr actu from the te | composition of vegetable matter in the | soil, and thus acquires the property of, J readily dissolving minerals on which ! j before it could have very little influence, j 1 was first led to tho consideration of tlie above subjects by finding, on the ro-examination of a soil which 1 ana lyzed three or four years ago, a larger quantity of a particular mineral substance than 1 at first found, as none had been applied in the meantime. The thing was difficult of explanation until L re membered the late long and protracted drought. 1 then also remembered that in Zacatecas and several other provinces in South America, soda was obtained from the bottom of ponds, which were dried in the dry, and again filled up in | the rainy season. As the above cxpla- I nation depended on the principles of philosophy, I at once instituted i | several experiments to prove its truth. Into a glass cylinder was placed a ! small quantity of chloride of barium, in solution ; this was then tilled with a dry soil, and for a long time exposed to tii 1 direct rays of the sun on the surface. I Ihe soil on tho surface of the cylinder j i was now treated with sulphuric acid, and | gave ;i copious precipitate of sulphate of baryta. 'l'lio experiment was varied by sub-1 stituting chloride of lime, sulphate of soda, and carbonate of potash, for the chloride of barium, and on the proper re-agents being applied in every instance the presence of those substances were detected in large quantities on the sur face of the soil in the cylinder. Here then was proof positive and direct, by plain experiments in chemistry aud philosophy, of the agency, the ultimate, beneficial agency of droughts. b\ e see, therefore, in this, that even those things which, wo look upon as evils, by* Providence, arc blessings in ! disguise, and that we should not iinir-1 mur even when dry seasons afflict us, tor they, too. are for our good. The early and the later rain may produce at oncenhumlnnt crops, but dry weather is also a beneficent dispensation of Prov- j idence-in bringing to the . surface food for future crops, which otherwise would bo forever useless. Seasonable weather is good for the present, but droughts re new the storehouses of plants in tin soil, anil furnish an abundant supply of nutriment for future crops.
