VOL. XXXV,
What OaMtttirtN OM Age.
The newspapers of the seme
day reoently oontsined two Items
about old men. One was that a
deoreped gray haired old man,
tiring of life with its burdsns,
bowed down and dejected under
bis oares had committed suloide
at the age of fifty-five years.
Another was that an esteemed
oitisen had oelebrated his eighty-
third birthday by moving his
lawn. The man of eighty-three
was muoh younger than the one
of fifty-five. The one though
not so vigorious as formerly in
body was no doubt as strong in
mind and still deep in the enjoy-
ments of life. The other though
At the age when many men are
but in their prime, was worn out
physioally and mentally. The
Writer cannot accept the theory
that there is no need for death
but does believe that if men but
lived as they should live, old age
would be regarded as a blessing
rather than as a ouise, thst men
and women would be happy and
eontented and reasonably vigor-
ous until death, that there would
be less of decay of the various
organs of the body and death
would be more like the going to
pieces of Holmes' One Horse
Shay. We study too much
About old age as a thing to be
dreaded, we school ourselves to
believe that we would retire from j
tie activities of life before we
become old in years, we regard
old age too much as a period of
weakness until it becomes large-
ly what we make it to our minds.
Of course barring unusual afflic-
tions, mors than befall Use com-
mon lot, old age is largely what
we make it by our own metal
