To Attain Long Life.
Some (i one wisely says that he who strives after a long and pleasant term of life mast seek to attain continual equanimity, and carefully to avoid everytuing which too violently taxes his feelings. Nothing more quickly consumes tho vigor of life than the violence of the emotions of the mind. We know that anxiety and care can destroy the healthiest body; we know that fright and fear, yes, excess of joy, becomes deadly. v They who are naturally cool and of a quiet turn ©f mind, upon whom nothing can make too powerful an impression, who are not wont" to be excited either by great sorrow or great joy, have the best chance of living long and happy^after their manner. Preserve, - therefore, under all circumstances, a composure ef mind which no happiness, no misfortune, can too much disturb. Loye nothing too violently ; h»te nothing too passionately; fear nothing too strongly. - '
