In the Old Testament a long life is proffered as .thegreatest prize. Under the Chris- tian dispensation eternal life is pro- .claimed as the greatest of all. possible rewards. 1Ylethusela-h lived 969 years. Horace Mann used to say that he believed these years .were the same as ours, for useless maw hid been originally endowed with a hundred. times his present vitality, his hor- rible or rible excesses must have long since .extinguished the race. If this remarkable longevity was miracle, it is easily understood. If not miraculous, it is difficult to coni- prehendlthe meaning of the Psalmist, who, very shortly after Mehuselah, :said that the days of Irian are three score years and ten. Sonie coal men tators think that the antediluvian, year was equal to our lunar month, which would nage Methuselah 81 years old. (ther commentators incline to the .opinion that their year was equal to three months. This opinion derives' :s certain -probability from the fact that several eastern _nations still reckon time in this way. Coming down to the third century, we find another definite recordof longevity given by. Unpianue, a Roman Judge. ` This calculations were received by the Roman courts for hundreds of years. His facts. are extremely interesting, but I have not room for even a synopsis. The average length of life among Europeans decreased from the time .of the Roman supremacy `down to about two hundred years ago, when, under the influence. of a better civi- lization, the length of man's life be- gan to incr-ease.: At one time during the Dark Ages, alcbemists sought, in ways which seem ludicrous enough to us, for some substance which, ' introduced into the body, might prolong life. It Original matter" was looked upon as the elementary cause of all exist- ence. Could they find this, they could work miracles ; they could' change coarse metals into gold ; they could perpetuate life indefinite- ly. In seeking this " originsl mat- ter," the most extravagant paths were trodden. Millions of vessels, vials - and retorts were exposed to great heat, or to the warmth of the sun.: They, were buried in some dung hill or other fetid mass, for the -'purpose, through decomposition, of discovering the " original mater." Gold was then, as now, the most precious of metals. It was thought that the introduction of this into the system might prolong _life. 4. multi- tude of busy idiots, in concealed cor- tiers, were day and night at work, trying to discover. some means of rendering gold potable, and to pre- vent it from again being converted into metal3 that it might be assimil- ated by the body and mane a part of it, and thus render it precious and enduring. And it was not among the ignorant alone, but in the splen did laboratories of the palaces, that this pitiful hallucination prevailed. The most illustrious sovereigns, ma- gistrates and councillors organized grand societies, the object of which was the discovery. of " original mat- ter." The common people in Italy,' France and Germany often denied themselves the necessaries of life, to purchase a few drops of the tincture of gold, which they swallowed with the most enthusiastic confidence. Paracelsus pretended to have -in his possession the Stone of Immortal- ity," but he died in his fiftieth year.., Again, at another time, it was be- lieved that not only men, but all natural lodies, plants, animals, and whole countries, including every in- dividual, place and ' family, were under the government of some par- ticular planet. ".Thurneisen+," a great leader in this school, as late as the 17th. Century, was invested at Berlin, with the offices of printer to the court, bookseller, almanac- maker, astrologer, chemist; and first. physician. Messengers daily arriv- ed.from the most respectable houses in. Germany, Poland, Hungary, Den- mark and England, for the purpose consulting him respecting the for- tunes of new-born infants, acquaint- ing him with the hours of their na tivity, and soliciting his advice and directions as to their management. Many volumes of this singular cor- respondence are ` still preserved in the royal library at Berlin. The business of this fortunate adept in- creased so rapidly, that he found it necessary to employ a number of - assistants, who, together with their master, realized considerable for- tunes. He died in high -reputation and favor with his superstitious ad - miners, gal and Thurneiseh's astrolo- gical manac is yet published in some of the less enlightened pro- vinces of Germany. . Other astrologists pretended to catch, to refine and materialize a something in the,atmosphere, to re;- duce e;duce it to a liqu k form, or that of powder ; and 6.4. they gave it to men with the 'promisethat it would insinuate itself into the animalfraine, invigorating it, and qualifying it for a long and heaibhy duration. The French Count of St, Germaine 'offered the public a certain tea, which he pronounced a " Tea for Prolonging Life." It was swallow- ed with the greatest avidity all over the continent, but its celebrity was very short-lived. Another French nobleman pre- sented the world with a powder which was to protect life indefinite- ly. It had so large a sale that the originator was soon able to buy im- mense estates. But ' this famous powder- was composed of such poison- ous drugs, that it produced sickness in every one. who used it. ' Count Cagliastro. sold at an en- ormous price. the ." Balm- of Life," and declared he had already attain- ed an age of 200 years, and that with the use of this wonderful medi- cine he was entirely insensible to poison. When descanting one day at Strasburg before a large audience, he made the statement that he was invulnerable'to poisons. A physic- ian who was present, left the_ room privately and obtained ' two pills. Coming back to the hall where the Count was haranguing the people, he approached hien and said : " Here, my worthy Count, are two pills—the one contains a mortal poison, the other is perfectly inno- cent. Choose one - of them and swallow it, and I engage to take that which you leave. This will be considered a decisive proof of your medical skill, and enable the public to ascertain the efficiency of your ex- tolled elixir." - Cagliastro struggled with the situation, made many apolol es, but would not touch . the pill. His op- ponent' swallowed both, and then proved' by the : apothecary that they were simply common bread. Father Gosmer, of. Bavaria, as - bribed all diseases to the Devil, con- tending from the history of Job, "Saul, and others recorded in sacred writ, that Satan, as the great enemy of mankind, has power to embitter our lives by disease. Vast numbers flocked to him ; whole cargoes of patients afflicted with nervous and hypochondriac complaints, beseiged him in his quarters - every , day -all stimulated and heated with a wild imagination. Men of literary char- acter—even the philosophers of Ba- varia—were hurried away by the streamand completely blinded by this sanctimonious imposter. . Count Thun, at Leipsic, pretend- ed to perform miraculous cures on gouty, hypochondriac and hysterical patients, merely by the -imposition of his sacred hands.—Dr. Dio Lewis, in Wood's Household Magazine. The Custom' of Treating. -- If I could.persuade all the young - people 'of Elmira never to treat each other, nor. be treated, I think one- half the danger from our strong. drink would lie gone: If I cannot get you to sign the total abstinence pledge binding until you are twenty- five, I would be glad to have you promise three things First, never to drink on the sly, alone ; Second, never to drink socially, treated or being treated ;, and, Third, when you drink do it openly and in the presence of some man or woman whorl you respect. Now, boys, if you want to be generous and treat each other, why not select some piker shop - beside the liquor shop ? appose as you go by the post -o ce, you say, "Come, boys, . come in and take some stamps." These stamps will do your friends a real good, and will cost you no more than drinks all round. Or go by the tailor's store, and say, " Boys, come in and take a 'box of collars." Walk up to the 'counter free and generous, and say, " What style will you have !" Why not treat to collars as well as to treat to drinks ? Or go by a con- fectioner's and propose to chocolate - drops all round. Or say, "Boys, take a newspaper." Or say, " 1'll stand a jacknife all round !" How does it happen that we have fallen into a habit almost compul- sory of social drinking ? You drink many a time when asked to, when really yon do not . want to, When a man has treated you, . you feel mean and . indebted, and keep a sort of account current in your mind, and -treat him. And so in the use of just that agent, which at the very best is ' a dangerous one, you join hand in hand to help each other to ruin, instead of hand in hand to help each other to temperance.— Thos.
