The waste Is at first Insensible, and frequently several years revolve before we perceive any considerable alteration t but we ought to feel the weight of our years better than their number can be estimated by strangers; and as those are seldom deceived who judge of our age by external signs, we might be more sensible of the truth, were we more attentive to our feelings, and did not suffer ourselves to be deceived by vanity and fallacious hopes. When the body has acquired its full stature, and is extended to its just dimensions, it begins to increase in thickness; and this augmentation is the first »top towards a decay, being merely an addition of superfluous matter, which inflates the body, and loads it with an useless weight: this matter, which is denominated fat, about the age of thirty-five or forty, begins to cover the muscles and interrupt their nctivity: every action then requires a greater exertion to perform it; and Ute increase of size is at the expense of ease, activity, and strength. The bones also become even' day more solid. In the embryo they arc almost as soft as the muscles and the flesh i by degrees they harden and acquire their natural vigour; but the circulation Is still carried on through them; and how hard soever the bones mar acera, the blood holds Its current through them, as through all other parts of the body, like the softer parts, they are furnished, through all their substance, witli their proper canals, although in the different stages of existence they ore of very different capacities. In infancy they arc capacious, and the blood flows through the bones with almost the same facility as through the other channels. In manhood their size is greatly diminished: the vessels ar...

There are indeed, in later ages, some instances of amazing strength, which cannot be questioned; hut in these Nature is found to pursue her ordinary course. These strong men have originated from the lowest ranks, and gradually risen into notice as their adventitious superiority had more opportunities of being displayed. Among this number may be ranked the Roman tribune who obtained the name of the second Achilles, and who is said to have killed, with his own hand, at different times, three hundred of the enemy; and, when insidiously attacked by twenty-five of his own countrymen, though past his sixtieth year, to have "killed fourteen of them before he himself was slain. Of this number, too, was Milo, who, when he stood upright, could not be moved from his place. Pliny also mention one named Athenatus, who walked across the stage at Rome loaded with a breast-plate Which weighed five hundred pounds, and buskins of the same weight. But of all the prodigies of strength recorded In authentic history, MaxEminlus, the Rumin emperor, may be reckoned the chief. Whatever we are told of Mm it veil attested: his character waa too exalted not to be perfectly known; and that very strength for which he was celebrated, at lait procured him no less a reward than the empire of the world. Maximlnius was upwards of nine feet high, and one of the liest-proportioned men in the whole empire, lie waa a Thracian by birth ¡ and, from being a limpie herdsman, rose, through the several gradations of office, till he became Kmperor of Коше. The first opportunity which offered of exerting his strength, was In the presence of a nu...
