The fact is that men and women dietoo
soon. It is high time that reljgion joined the
hand of medical science in attempting to im-
prove human longevity. Adam Jived nine

nine hundred and sixty-nine years As late
in the history of the world as Vespasian,
there were nt one time in his empire forty-
live people one hundred and thirty-five years
old. So far down as the Sixteenth century,
I’eterZnrtan died atone hundred nnd eighty-
flvo years of age. I do not say that religion
will ever take the race back to ante diluvian
longevity, life but Ido say tho length of human
will lie greatly improved
It is said in Isaiah: “The child shall die n
hundred years old.” Now, if according to
old, Scripturo the child is to be a hundred years
may not the men and women reach to
three hundred and four bundle i and five
hundred.' The fact is that we arc mere
dwarfs ami skeletons compared with some of
the genorntirns that are to oo.no. Take the
African race. They have been under bond-

it power for a few centuries,
and who can tell wliat w ill be the strength
of mail and the beauty of woman and tho
longevity of all.
My design is to show that practical re-
ligion is the friend of long life. I prove it,
first, from tho fact that it makes the care of
cur health a positive Christian duty,
tV hot her we shall keep early or late hours,
whether we shall take food digestible or in-
digestible, incomplete whether mastication, there shall tie thorough Very or
often deferred the realms are questions
to of whimsicality;
but ihe Cbiistian man lifts this w hole
problem of health into the accountable and
the divine. He says: "God has given me
this lioljr, and He has called it tho temp’e of
the Holy Ghost, and to deface its altars or
mar its w alls or crumble its pillars is a God
defying He sacrilege.” God ealigraphy
secs s in every page—
anatomical an 1 physiological. He says:
“God has given me a wonderful body for
noble purposes.”

The Christian man says to hints-If: “If I

call for dire retribution. ’ AVhy did God tell
the Levites not to oiler to him in sacrifice |
animals imperfei t and diseased! Ho meant
to tell us in all tho ages that we are to offer
to God our very be t physical condition, and
a man ruins who through his health irregular or gluttonous

friend Again. I remark that practical religion is
a of longevity in the fact that it is a
destroy protest against dissipations which injure and
the health. Bad men and women
live a very short life. Their sins kill them,
I know hundreds of good old men, but I do
not know half a dozen bad old men. Why?
They Missolonghi do not get old. Lord Byron died at
self his at thirty-six years of nge, him-
the horse own that Mazeppa, dashed his unbridled passions
with him into tlie
desert. Edgar A. Poe died at Baltimore at
thirty-eight years of age. The black raven
that alighted on the bust above his chamber
door was delirium tremens—
Only this and nothing more.
Napoleon Bonaparte live 1 only just beyond
midlife, then died at St. Helena, and one of
n.s doctors said that his disease was induced
by excessive snuffing. The hero of Auster-
btz, the man who by one step of his foot in
the center of Europe shook the earth, killed
by a snuff box. Ob, how many peop’e we
have known who have not lived out half
their davs because of their d ssipations and
indulgences! Now practical religion is a
protest against all dissipation of any kind.

Again, re ligion is a friend of longevity in
the mot that it takes the worry out of our
temporalities. It is not work that kills men,
It is worry. When n man becomes a only genuine hi*
Christian he makes ov.-r to God not
affections bn his family, his business, his
reputation, his holy, liis mind, his soul-
everything. Industrious he will lie, hut
never worrying, because God is managing

business? Why, you would say: “I’ll do the
best I can, nnd then i ll depend on my
friend s generosity for the rest.”
Now more than that is promised to every
Christian business man. God says to him:
“I own Now York and London and St.

A Curious Cause of Death.
TThcn o boy Joseph Walker was in
his father’s kitchen one day when his
Tlioro mother had been barrels boiling innple syrup. noil
wero two in the room,
he, supposing them to be both syrup,
took the a barrels teacup and and dipped it full from swallow. one
of took a largo
To his consternation it proved to bo lye.
He hud mistaken the leach barrel for the
syrup. It gave him great distress at the
time and caused a permanent stricture
of the gullet which lias proved the indi¬
rect cause of his death.
Mr. Walker was a sergeant in the 20th
Maine Regiment, and was wounded at
the battle of People’s Farm. About
the close of the war he commenced to
have trouble from the stricture in the
gullet, by pieces of meat and food lodg¬
ing at the injured part and causing
him great distress. Homo times it would
nearly strangle him. He was a man of
a mechanical turn of mind and ft ear-
penter, and lie made a long oak stick,
round, and very smooth, and when any
fragment of food would become lodged would
in its passage in the gullet he
force it into his stomach with his instru¬
ment. This operation, which would
seem diflicult, even for a skilled improved physi¬
cian to perforin with the most
instrument, Mr. Walker has performed of
successfully with this rude appliance twenty-five

times in the last twenty years.
Several days ago a prominent Port¬ Mr.
land Walker’s physician was summoned him to in the
bedside and found
greatest distress. That, day while eating
dinner n piece of meat lodged ir- the
passage. Ho went to his room and used
his instrument ns he had so many times,
but relief did not follow; on the con¬
trary, the pain became worse and ho
grew very much exhausted. The physi¬
cian procured an instrument nnd cleared
the passage to the stomach and the pa
tient temporarily, was temporarily for he sank relieved, rapidly hut only and
died.
The doctor gave it as his opinion that
Mr. Walker had punctured the side of
tho gullet and an autopsy was made,
which proved the diagnosis found to lodged be correct. two
