Duration of Human Life.
From the advance sheets of "The Art of Pro
longing Life." -V.
"It is commonly believed that, daring the
early periods of the world, the lives of. its in
habitants were more youthful and perfect: that
these primitire men had a gigantic size, incredi
ble strength, and a most astonishing duration of
life. A variety of such notions were long pre
valent among mankind; and to those we are
indebted for the origin of many romantic talcs.
Some have not hesitated seriously to ascribe to
our forefather, Adam, the height of niuc hun
dred yard, and the age of, almost a -'thousand
years, llut.tht? ,ac;curate and rational-iuwtipa-tion
of modern philosophy has converted the
supposed bout's of giants, found in different parts
of the earth, into those of the elephant aud
rhinoceros; and acute theologlsts have shown
that the chronology of the earl y ages was not the
same as that used at present
Some, particularly Ilensler, have proved,
with the highest probability, that the year tilt
the time of Abraham consisted only cf three
monlis$ thnt it was afterwards extended to eight ;
aud that it was not till the time of Joseph that
it was made to consist of twelve. These asser
tions are, in a certain degree, confirmed by some
of the eastern nations, who still reckou only
three months to the year; and besides, it would
be altogether inexplicable why the life of man
should have been shortened one-half immediately
after the flood. It would be equally inexplica
ble why the patriarchs did not marry till their
sixtieth, seventieth, and even - hundredth vear:
but this difficulty vanishes when we reckon these
ages according to the before mentioned standard,
which will give the twentieth or thirtieth year;
and, consequently, the same period at which
people marry at present.
The whole, therefore, according to this ex
planation, assumes a different appearance. The
sixteen hundred years before the Hood will be
come four hundred and fourteen; and the nine
hundred years (the highest recorded) which
Methuselah lived, will be reduced to two hun
dred an age which is not impossible, and to
which some men in modern times have nearly
approached.
In profane history, we have an account of
many heroes and Arcadian kings of those periods
who attained to the age of several hnndred
years; but these pretended instances of longevi
ty can be explained m the same manner
ith the period of Abraham, a period when
, - , . , , .1 11....!
History seems nisi iu ue vsniuiiNiieu u.i luuie
certain grounds, we find mention of a duration
of life which can be still attained, and which no
longer appears extraordinary, especially when
we consider the temperate manner in which the
patriarchs lived; and that, as they were no
mades, or a wandering people, they were much
exposed to the free open air.
The Enicssox Engine. The New-York Jour
nal of Commerce gives us the annexed informa
tion of what is doing by the friends of this new
motor.
It will be recollected that the caloric ship
Ericsson returned from her trip to Washington
about seven months ago, and that immediately
thereafter, essential modifications and improve
ments in the plan of the engine were determined
upon. These have since been in progress, at
Williamsburgh, near where the ship was built,
and where she has since Iain. The public will
be gratified to learn that these alterations are
I now nearly completed, and that, so fur from the
enterprise ha ving been abandoned, as has been
the general belief, the fullest confidence is en
tertained on the part of those immediately in
terested, of its complete success, on the second
trip of the ship. Mr Ericsson is devoting his
whole time and undivided energies to the realiza
tion of this end.
It is expected that within two weeks, one of
the engines will be completed, and the other
will be finished soon after. The several parts
are all ready, and now on board. We under
stand that the power of these engines will far
exceed what was attained under the low pres
sure system emploj-ed on the first trip as they
are now to be worked under condensed pressure.
The Ox that wouldn't stay killed. The
Detroit Advertiser tells the following good one
of a farmer in that vicinity who drove a very
fat ox to market, expecting that the animal
when killed would yield some twelve or thirteen
hundred lbs. of beef. He sold the ox; buyer
drove him off, and at night came back repre
senting that the ox had been slaughtered, and
offered to settle for it, but showing an account
of its weight which fell short of the expecta
tions of the farmer, who insisted on seaig the
beef, and after examining and weighing which,
with the tallow, he was forcetJ-4 go home,
though not more than half swslied, with the
money in his pocket. During the night after
his return, the dead ox cgrne back to his yard
alive and well, having broken out of the butch
er's enclosure; and the next day the farmer
drove the same ox back to town and offered to
sell him to the same butcher, who, having mis
sed the animal, eyed the new comer rather sus
piciously, and concluding that he it was rho had
been sold, bought the ox at a lumping price
and paid for him this time.
Freaks of Indcstry. There is a patient in
the asylum at Utica who has been at work for
the last two years in getting up a steamboat,
the engine ol winch shall be worked witn cpsom
salts. Another gentleman, in an adjoining
room, proposes to put eliptic springs under m
gara, to "ease the water when it jumps." V hilt
a third is busily engaged in getting out the
timber of a "six-bladed horse" and a leather
"frvingpan." The philosopher who said that
the" only reason why crazy people differs from
other people, was because they were more large
ly imaginative than other folks, was not so far
out of his reasoning as some folks imagine.
"Mv son," said a floating father who was
about" taking his son into business," what shall
be the style of the firm?" "Well governor,r
said the one-aisd-twenty youth, looking up in tlx
heavens to find an answer, "I don't know; bu
suppose we have it 'John H. Saniplin am
Father." The old gentleman was struck witl
the originality of the idea, but could not adopt it.
Washington's Wealth.
The following is an extract taken from an
old book published in 1803, entitled "Washing
ton's Political Legacies," arti dedicated to Mis
Martha Washington:
"General Washington was at one time pro
bably one of the greatest land holders in the
United States. His annual receipt from his
estate amounted in 17S7 to one thousand lbs.
sterling, which is a very large sum in rederal
money, and was considered a very great fortune
at that early day iu this country for one man
to possess. His estate at Mount Vernon alone
was computed in 1787 to consist of 9,000 acres
of land, of which enough was in cultivation to
produce in a single year 10,000 bushels of corn
and 7,000 bushels of wheat. In a succeeding
year he raised 200 lambs, sowed 27 bushels of
flaxseed, and plauted 700 bushels of potatoes.
4 lie desisted, it is said j from planting tobacco.
which was then extensively raised in A irginia,
for the purpose of setting an example, by em
ploying his extensive means in the introduction
and fostering of such articles of domestic use
and necessity as would ultimately fend to the
best advantage of his conn fry. His domestics,
at the same time, were industriously employed
j in manufacturing woollen cloth and linen, in
i sufficient quantity to clothe his numerous house
j hold, which nnmCered nearly one thousand per
sons.
JBystcilfs of VenifO.
We have read many curious things concern
ing the " Queen of the Adriatic
-e
but
the fol-
lewing peculiarity, described by a recent travel
er, is entirely new to us: "Most inexplicable
of all is the incredible number of professors of
the noble art of shoe-blacking an art which
hardly be said to exist in many cities that might
be supposed to stand far move in need of it,
Venice is, perhaps, the cleanest town in the
world ; all the struts and squares are paved
with marble. There is no carriages, no dustr
no mud brought in from a country road, no ac
cumulation of refuse and garbage, for it all finds
its way at once out of the windows into the
canals. In short, with the best will in the world,
it really seems impossible to get your shoes dir
ty, and yet the shoe-blacks are running about
in swarms, and moreover, seem devoted to their
art with a really passionate fanaticism. How
ever immaculate and polished I considered my
boots to be, I never succeeded in escaping their
zealous services, and it was so much the more
provoking as the offer was always preceded by
a searching critical glance at what I thought
mv finite irreproachable pedestals. One day I

lustre. I might have foreseen the consequences.
This time they did not ask me, but the first ar
tist in blacking that caught sight of me, seized.
upon me, whether I would or not ; and it was
not till I had submitted t: the operation, in all
form, that I recovered my liberty, and was al
lowed to pursue my way. There are two other
things iu Venice that 1 have never been able to
make out. How do they build a house ? and
how do they put out a fire ?
Uuilding materials, of course, can be procur
ed, and there is certainly no want of water,
iiut where i the ground on which firemen or
builders can take their stand ! Even for the
commonest repairs of houses thrc3 or four sto
ries high, in streets only five or six feet wide,
some plan must lie adopted of which I have no
conception. Two or three beams, half a hun
dred building stones, and a hod of mortar, would
block up the street, and interrupt the traffic of
a whole quarter."
A Pointed Sermon. Many a discourse of
an hour's length is not half as impressive as the
following from an eccentric English divine :
'13e sober, grave, temperate.' Titus ii, 9.
I. There arc three companions with whom
you should always keep on good terms.j
1. Your wife.
2. Your stomach.
'.!. Your conscience.
II. If j-ou wish to enjoy peace, long life, ami
happiness, preserve them by temperance. Iu
temperance produces :
1. Domestic misery.
2. Premature deat :.
3. Infidelity.
To make all these clear, I refer you :
1. To the Newgate Calendar.
2. To the hospitals, Inuatic asylums, and
work-houses.
3. To the past experience of what you have?
seen, read, and suffered in mind, body and
estate.
Men ov the Revoll-tion. Gen. Green, in
his despatches, after the battle of Eutaw, says;
"Hundred. of my men were naked as they were
born." Judge Johnson, in his life of Green,
says: "Posterity will scarcely believe that the
loins of many men who carried death into the
i temys ranks at Eutaw, were galled by their
cartouch boxes, while a fold of rr.ga or tuft of
jury from the musket." General Green says,
in his letters to the Secretary of War : "Wc
have three hundred men without arms, and
more than one thousand so naked that they can
be put on duty only iu the most desperate
cases. Onr difficulties are so enormous, anr!
our want so pressing, that I have not a mo
ment's relief from the most painful anxieties. I
have more embarrassments than it is proper to
disclose them to the world."
Making the Uest ok it. The editor of the
Clinton Cournnt has been on to Xew York and
purchased a poetry pen that won't write "any
thing else." The following is the first result, of
Banner's attempting to write a prose item with
"that pen."
