" Iu Philadelphia the average ot human life is forty years, and iai Chicago forty- mree years, l he increase iu thejtfe of a. generation is ten or fifleeo years. One canse of thU'increaso is the discovery of" preventives or remedies for virulent dis eases. A hnndred years ago one-tebth uf all Uie deaths: in Euglaud were caused by , small-pox. Now through the discovery of Ur. Jeuoer, this terrible scourge baa been deprived of its fatal power. In for-, mer times u ml mined swamps and field, v geuerated intermittent fevers, which deV. st roved many lives, and pressed heavily. upon the vitality of the rural population But wise farmers have learned to drain their marches and thus destroy au enemy more dreadful than the fabled hydra that lurked in the lake of Lerna. Thelth iu tho streets and dwellings of -the cities used to be festct Jug sources of diseases and death. Hut draining sewers have closed these sources of disease. " v The era of medical science was yet in the future, at the bcgiunlug of this cen tury, aud did little to remedy the ravages of disease. Depletion and the exhaus tion of the system was generally the first step in the treatment, nnd was often soon followed by death. But later years have witues.aed uupnrnlled progress in this noble science. Not only have effective remedies for disease been discovered, and successful methods of administering tliem beeu devised, but sanitary rules aud reg ulations have beeu patiently studied out, aud published to the world, thus rcduc- s ing or destroying the very causes of dis ease. Almost every year, and sometimes ofteu iu the year, we liud iu the hands of skillful physicians, new and improved iustruments for discovering the nature of diseases, for calculating, their virulence and power, or for administering in the -best way the most approved remedies. To no class is the benefit more conspicu ous than r.mong the children. The evil sanitary surroundings, which iu former days warred against the immature strength of childhood Itae been improv ed, thus giving thein a fairer chance at life. By all theso improvements the chances of liviug a loug, comfortable aud useful life have been greatly augmented. . There has also beeu au- iucreascd econ omy of the lives of useful men by the de crease of violence, and especially by the " decay of the barbarous practice of duelling. The reader of history will recollect that many leadiugmeu of the past generation indulgcduaJhjs absurd practice, some of them falling victims in the prime of their manhood. Fox, Pitt, Castlercagh, O'jCon nell, Canning, Wellington, Hamilton, Burr, Clay, Randolph, Jackson, and hosts of oth ers well knvn to fame, once tried each to kill his man. Under the enlightened in fluence of Prince Albert, in England, and by a healthier moral sentiment everywhere, this relic of barbarism i fast disappearing. Soon, we may lioe, it will not be heard of even in such places as Leadville, or Tucson, Tombstone, or the ranches nearest the Rio Grande. 3. Still further, we may notice tlmt new ideas concerning the -nature. and design of civil government have dawned upon the civilized world within the last hundred years.

The race has net proved itself ca pable of sustained advancement and per mauent excellence. With the universal diffusion of knowledge, with the purify iug power of the Gospel, with the in dwelling of the Divine Spirit, and with God's provideutial caro and direction, there is no conceivable limit to the at tainments men may make. But if this generation should prove recreant to the trust committed to them; should, through pride and self-sufficiency, forget God and his law, then who knows but all this ex that will hurl a mass of two thousand pounds of iron five miles with unerring precision, seem to predict terrible slaugh ter in the coming age. But the fact is the rarcrM. It ia the old fashion haud to hand fight, that we read of in tho Books of the Kings, and the Chroutcles of Israel that slaughters whole armies iu a day The ertection of the implements of slaughter renders war lets frequent, and leas prolonged. It is not the slaughter of the battle field that is the great evil of war, but the privation, the sickucss, the fatigueing march, the dreary hospital, aud the waste of resources. Iu his six mouths' campaign against Hussia in 1812 Napoleon lost over half a million of men. But it was uot iu the battle of Borodino that they were slaughtered, though one hun dred t lion sand men fell on that blood v field. It was bnnger, aud thirst, aud ex posure, and fatigue, that slew the other four houdred thousand. S. The Nineteenth Century is also characterized by a lengthened average of the duration of human life. Thin is part ly owing the decrvaae of destructive wars but largely to other causes. Fifty years ago we were taught that thirty three Tears was the life of a generation of men. In the middle of the Idth century iu Lou don, the are rage of hunjau life was tweu ures ruled over France. It wa the be- iefof this unworthy peronthat France was his, and that she and her twenty five millions of people were of no value other- wise than as they iiiiuistcred to his '-enjoyment. No one about him ever, in all his ong life, suggested another view to him. The great nobUs went daily to see him dressed and undressed regaling him the while with the obscene gossip which he loved so well to hear." The nobles were as vile and as despotic as he. The peasants were bound to grind their corn at the Seigneur's mill, t. prcss-tlu-ir grapes in. his wine press and to bake their lircad in his . - .11 i. . oven, paying, ot course, snru iwu aa u chose to exact. Bei ween king and nobles the people were taxed, crudit-d and beaten until life was a burden, 'or was the con dition of the French people worse tban that of the rest of Continental Europe. Is fact, if we may credit DeTocqucville, it was better. Every sovereign, whether King, Prince. Elector, Duke, Uoe or Count, with slight exceptions, regarded his vassal as his property, and treated them with harsh ness and severity, up to the period of the French Itevolution. Then the bugle, blat of liberty was sounded in all cars, and the people of Europe n ver forgot it. After depntim had passed over that bloody chasm it never . displayed the fame vigor again. -The price was a terrible one, but the enfranchisement of the European peo ple was worth it all. Iu 1814 the tax a of England amounted to an average of $30 for every man, Ira nian and child iu the kingdom. At the same time wheat waa worth $5.30a bush el, aud other commodities iu proportion, while Muskilled labor earned only 3.00 a week, or 50 cents a day and mechanics earned but $5.00 a week, or 31 cents a day. . By comparing this with th tax- of ourdiiy and country, averaging from two to five dollars for n poor man and his family, with 75 cents a day as tho wages of nn skilled labor, and twodollars a day for a mechanic, and wheat at $l.(i per bushel, yon will d!c ver that an Enj;. lithiuaii aitj -fie years ao could -aw only a' out a tittlt part c the fuod thai 5 S ? r I' 4 tr tt A
