Old age is state, to which, unless
prevented by death. We are all approach.
ing. Il win be wisdom, therefore, to
Contemplate the disad, antages that at
tend it, and make the best defence against
them, in our power. NJ. ~
After having passed the meridian Of
life, our senses continue to grow more
and more obtuse, and the pleasures,
which are conveyed by them, are Of con-
sequence, diminished. Extreme old
age Is almost q medium between the Vi
gour Ofyouth and utter insensibility.-
The appetite then grows insensible to
the deIicacies of food /; the ear 10 less
charmed with the melody Of sound, and
theeye with the beautiful landscape
The pursuits, of avarice and ambition
aresrelinquished, and the CAV scenes Of
youth are forgotten. Every external
object Is oversPread with agloom. The
opening Of the spring reminds the aged
person of what he once was !; and the
pensive aspect Of autumn warns him Of
that winter which will soon oyertake
him. He telishes no longer the plea.
sures Of eonyiyiaiity the lustre is de-
parted from the eye, and the cheek is
deserted of its youthful bloom the
blood glides slowly through the veins
alanguor seizes the limbs, and the whole
frame Presages quick dissolution. But
are there no advantages = attending this

no comfort in anticipating the Joys Of fu.
