The May number of Blackwood's Mag. azinn contains an interesting article upon the length of human life. It were well it in this practical age, we should occasionally inquire into some of the causes of bad health artd premature old age. Surely this is a practical matter, and ought to interest a!l save those who desire to hurry out of the world as soon as possible.

C, Charming says the moment a man parts with moral independence—the moment he judges of duty, not from the inward voice, but from the interest and will of a party, the moment he commits himself to a leader or a body and winks at evil beoause divisions would hurt the cause, the moment he shakes oil his particular responsibility, because he is but one of i thousand or a million, by whom the evil is done—that moment he parts wilh his moral power*.— He n shorn of the energy of single-hearted faith in the right and the true. He hopes from man's policy whst nothing but loyaWy to God -can accomplish. He substitutes coarse weapons, forged by man's wisdom, for celeetifcl power. " The man," says Buffon, (nre quote from the article,) " who does not die of accidental diseases, lives everywhere to ninety or a hundred years," but then in this era, and especlilly in this country, bowr are is a death that does not result from disease. There js no good old age —no gathering of the old to the dust of their fathers, like a " shock of corn fully ripe." Men do not die simply because the powers ot nature are exhausted. They die by the violence of torturing disease. A natural death, is one without disease—a gentle stopping of all the mechanism of the body, as the clock slowly runs down, until its last faint tick is scarcely precep. table. But no: only do we die of violent disease, but we die prematurely. We grow old before we have attained the fullness of manhood. Age creeps over us and a host ol infirmities break us down in mid dlo life. Where nre the hale sprightly men of seventy years ? The truth is, the men of this generation are fast men—they mature fast—live fast, and die fast. There is no longer a period of juvenility save that which is confined to babyhood. Manhood begins with the first perceptable appearance of down upon the chin. It is inaugurated by patont leather boots, fine cut tobacco and cliea pcigars. It celebrates its hot bed developement by fast driving, hard swearing, uproarious carousals and ihe muttering of brainless gibberish over midnight potaiions. At twenty it is in the first state of decny. At thirty, come grey itairs, bald heads and toothless gums.— And long before the natural period of middle life, when the muscles are hardened and the whole frame knit together, and the intellect attains its greatest vi-or— over the summit goes this prurient, highly presaure, efTette manhood, and with failing sight beclouded intellect and diseased body, It staggers down the steep inclined plane, to a violent, premature death. Serene, contemplative, blessed old age—that was ihe boon of other generations 3 but it don't belong to this. II these statements are facts, it is high time that heating furnaces were abandoned lor old" fashioned grates. We, however, cannot accept them without corroborative testimony. Clark's Store.

Lighting Mines dv Gas.—The numerous fatal accidents in mines have given rise to many contrivances lor preventing 6uch evils. One of the most ingenious suggestions is lrom Mr. Septimus Piesse, who proposes to illuminate the mines by means of coal gas. The gas is to be made "on the bank," that is, on the surface, and carried down the shaft and along the "rolley ways," by fixed piping in the usual way, there to be kept constantly burning in properly constructed lamps, with an immovable gauae of wire round the flame. For supplying the lamp"in the galleries," where the actual workings are being car. ried on, the gas is to be conveyed by flexi ble tubing ; by this means there wilt be no difHculty in moving the light to the position needed by the miner, lamp is to have a cone ot fine Davy gat$e wire round the flame, and to be protect! an outer casing of coarse gauze, wtiioh will prevent tho '.ranamission of flame to any outward explosive mixture in the pit.— London Mining Journal..  the stairs ; when young voices mix in glad confusion, and the youngest springs to his arms with a mirthful shout!

It has grown to be a perfect mania—a disease of itself. The fact is, nature never designed the hutna.i body to be such a receptacle of medicine. If men would but study the laws of nature, diet properly instead of excessively, be regular in their habits instead of regular in their doses, use common sense and cold water freely, und the doctor as little as possible, they would live longer, suffer less, and pay less for the privilege.
