Love-mul.iug, acooiding t this cal• entail tr , will average one hoar daily r or 3 years. For society, idling, theatres, nossip ing, balls, play --three hours more --up to 9 years. Finally, the ckt•dinary maladies of childhood. the accidents and diatoms of matinee age—and like causes, will deduct two hours on an average, wak- ing 6 years.
