Regular Correspondence of tbe Fbikmas. rnn.ADEi.puiA, Dec. 24, 1S82. Dear IIcTise To-morrow will be Christmas. The wide world recocnizes tbe iniraciilous incarnation of the Sa viour of mankind, calling its eomiuein oration Christmas, and with similar fratilinle it recognizes Christ's rising from the grave, nnd calls its commerro ration Easter. rckt are the prepara tion made for. the couiLnenioratiori- of Christmas in Litis ci'y. The stores r.re Li alive with Christmas ereena. and in the clinrches the nimble finpers of females are busily enframed in the work of deco ralincr the church sanctuaries. On all the streets are reminders of the advent of Christmas. The furnished store win dows and their stock of Christmas goods, and those that pile the side walks, give tokens of bow extensive are the prepar ations for the great festival. As on- Chrittmas the whole Christian world partake of the holy j iy which the an;els announced to the shepherds on that occasion, and which consists in givin? glory to God for such an incom parable favor, it is to be deplored that at this day doubts should be expressed about the 2oth of Decemler being the day on which our Saviour was born. Yet there are some who do doubt. An editorial in the Philadelphia Record of the 19th inst., upon the subject of the Christmas festival, doubts the correct-. ness of the date of Christ's birth in the following words : "It is the custom to B.'ociate Christmas with the birth of Christ, and doubtless some persons will not find it pleasant to have the illusion dispelled. Rut cold historical fact seemingly dopg not justify the associa tion. Indeed it seems very certain that the event did not occnr on that, day." But the date and place of our Saviour's birth is not an illusion. It Is trc that in the fourth century there was a doubt about the date of Christ's birth, but Pope Julius I, then reirnins7, made a senrch of the Roman archives and as certained the fact that Joseph and Mary went to the city of IWhlehem on the 24th of December, &nd on the following day Christ was born. In consequence of a decree from the Roman Emperor, for the purpose of taxinorall his subjects in the several cities, Joseph and Mary repa i red to Bet h 1 e hem . t he ci t y of Da v!d . to whose family they belonged, and there having been so many visitors ar riving in advance of them that there were no accommodations in the public bouses f.,r such bumble guests as Mary ;m' Joseph, and they were placed in the fitalloofone of the inns, where Christ was born on th following day. There is no fi'.iesfior. of doubt about either the r of the bill, j rite or place of birtti of the long-prom-delu:;i"i that : ised Saviour. The custom, therefore. of cbraMnar the nativity of Christ on 'be 2"'h of December is not an illusion, l(llt aT Pstrih;isJlP(, fac t,,r asHeUion of Ul0 jurord to t lie contrary uotwitb standing. My attention for the last few days has been called to the repo rted deaths of a remarkably old ace of quite a num ber of persons. A few of t hese reported ib'aths are as follows- Mr". Margaret TI')iueywll, the olrtert inhabitant of Northeastern Pennsylvania, died at T.nckn wnren ner-fl 03 viira Mrs Men Aired, d;e,1 a Floyd. Georg'ia, ig'ed 103 years ; Mrs. Mary Larfcin. died at Ral- j tirnore, Maryland. a-7f d 103 years ; Mrs. !

It is worthy of role, that all of them were femrilcs. This goe3 to prove thht women are more provident, live purer lives, and violate nature's laws less than men. IJ. is alsi evident, that, the marriage state is favorable to longevity. Notwithstanding there are so many old : J . .. 1 1 . t 1 " .J""" " lv an iitstav.c-of ono of them having at- a rotii aiTO There is nothing dearer than life, yet there is nothing with which mankind is f lira Qinl .j rn r.lOft in f tn I. or 1 t-c tlio h;' WP win livP- anf1 the'more we de- viate from them, the shorter will be our existence. The average man foolishly wastes his stock of mortality, aud !e conn s bankrurtt l" fore bis term is hall spent. All aiiimal life is so constituted with a slock of vitality sufficient to run it five times the period the particu lar animal requires to mature. The av erage man mat ures at twenty years, and, therefore, if he lives up to nature's laws will survive for one hundred years. Ila I I lived strictly up to nature's laws I micht have reached the good old ace of 13l years. I was late maturing, be ing beardless at the age of 20 years. From boyhood up to the age of twenty live, compared with the companions of my own age, I was physically greatlv their inferior, while at the age of 30 years I was physically their superior. Few men have been more improvident and more reckless of life than I have been. I arn convinced that under fa vorable conditions I v "uld have lived to le over one hundred jars old. I now fully realize the fact that I havo recklessly and foolishly wasted much of my stock of vitality. There is no reas on why the average man, under proper conditions, should not live to be 00 or 1C0 years old. But tbe man who ma tures at 20 ypars and should live to the age of 100 years, dies on the average un der 50 years of age. The physical downfall of man may be ascribed to eating forbidden footl. Civilization seems to consist of refined methods of violating nature's laws. Diatelic almse among the wealthy is a f ii 1. 1 fill source rf ijisi'fise. If man will We kiil ourselves eating forbidden food. The savage tribes have a prominence in longevity over refined and polished na tions.

Numerous insiancea of long life are given of negro men aud women In the UnJwJ 8ti9. When one look? back at the reported ' ong life before the Deluge, however old he may t he feels like an insignificant infant. What' a wonderful dilapidation has been in tbe human fabric. The comparative longevity of tbe ancients and the moderns is a matter of vital im portance and interest. Button and Ual leck both agree upon the possibility of long life before the Deluge. We have tbe recorded word of the longevity of man in tbe Methusaleh, Jared, Koah and numerous others. Surely tbe chron ology of the early ages could not have been tbe same as this of the present age. If the same the physical degeneracy of man has made wonderful rapid strides. Once man strode the earth like a collos sus, and flourished like a tiee. His days were not like the flower and the grass that springeth up in the morcinjr and is cut dowc in the evening. Think of Me thusalah being in the full vigor of man hood at eight hundred years of aze. Just thinK of a man perpetuating his species at the great old ao at which Methufa lah did. l'For MethusaWh lived after lie begot Sataech seven hundred and eijh' ey-tico years, and then begot sons and daughters. " Now-a-dass man gropes his way through this valley of youthful and premature death, tbe inexorable curse of "three sore and ten" holding him tbe hair. Very fewmen of the pres ent age possess one-tenth of the vitality of Methnsaleb. "For the days of Me thusaleh were nine hundred and sixty nine years." In these primeval days it was as common for men to live nine hundred years, as it is in these degener ate days for men to live ninety years. Jared lived nine hundred and sixty-two years. Noah lived nine hundred and fifty years; Adam lived Line hundred and. thirty years ; Seth lived nine hun dred and twelve years ; Canan Jived nine hundred acd ten years, and Euos lived nine hundred and five years. In these! degenerate days death at one hundred years is uncommon. It seems as if the once great welling up of the deep founts of physical mor tality have ceased, and man lias become the mushroom of an hour. The flames of tho ancient divine fire seem to have died out of the human clay. The ques tion now suggests itself. Upon what food did our piimeval fathers feed ? It is certain their cooks had not learned the ait of bestowing upon them the boon of chronic indigest ion. They assuredly were not in the habit of gorgeing their stomachs with fried oysters, devilled crabs and chicken salads. They could not have Wen subject to colic, too'.h ache, spasms, itch, carbuncles on the back of neck, scald heads or ingrowing toe-nails. Were those primeval gentle men's stomachs supplied with the same arrangements of fountains and gastric solvents which they reveal to the eye of the naturalist in these profane days of scalpels and microscopes ? What a pity that the anatomy and physiology of the stomach and loins of that wonderful old Methusaleh had not been clearly made out and scientifically arranged with pic torial illustrations for the edification and benefit of modern Esculapiuses. The old patriarchs must have bad good, clear consciences, and slept sweetly and soundly, and did not worry themselves in grasping after wealth and fame. As Methusaleh and other patriarchs appear upon the record not as fables, but as possible and actual facts, the critical question the purely essential problem is, has the human race actually degener ated physically in modern times, for morally and spiritually, it seems that it has wilted and almost withered to death. In reality. 1?,o people, of the present age cacr.ot boast c:thrcf the:r physical or mental vigor. Tho accumul.itfon of ! literatuie which is ptored np in huge magazines, and the multiplied faculties of modern education which long exper ience has secured, are no proof that we are relatively increasing in strength of mid, nor are our concentrated faculties and stupendous triumphs of bodily labor proofs that we are. relatively increasing in physical energy.
