".Spinoza and Schiller died at the threshold of their coal; Pascal, Hp r vey, Macauley Buckle and Bichat left their inimitable works half finished : Raphael, Mozart and Byron died at the verge of a summit which perhaps no other foot shall ever approach. " Who knows. how often, s'nee the dawn or" modern sciencc, the ckill of death has palsied a hand that had all but lifted the veils of Isis' temple? Or in how many thousand lives time akv.e would have solved all discords into lit monies i Au in« crease of longevity wouh: deed, aolve the racing riddles of existence : is would furnish the peculiar endorsement Mr, Matlock's conclusion. It would give the vicissitudes of fortune a chance to assers their tendencies, it would supply a missing link in the arguments of that natural religion that trusts the equipoise of justice in the apparent uprices of human life.
The price of longevity would redeem the mortgage of our earthly paradise"—and it cau be prolonged and shocld be. with caw and the use of proper medicine at th'j riglit time.
