MEMORY oy THOSE WHO NAVE PRECEDED US.
Translated for the Ne,c,, from the Italiar
II OFFS. Pellico Of SaluIza.
In the persons Of the aged honor you
parents and ancestors. Old age is held il
vererailon by every we'll disposed person
/. was a law Of ancien, Sparta ,ha, the
young should rise up at the approach of an
old man that they should be silent when
he spoke, and tha. they should make way
upon meeting him. Let a sense Of pro-
| rriety effect what the law does not require
amongst US, and i, will be all the better.
There is so much moral beauty in such
observances towards old age, iha, those
who themselves fail to practise them, are
obliged to applaud them in others.
An aged A,henian citizen was looking
for place at the OLYMPIC games all the
seats ofthc anIphi,heatre being occupied,
some youths, his fellow-ci,izcn,, beckoned
him to approach yielding to their invita-
,iou, he with great difficulty reached them,
but instead Of the welcome which he ex-
pec.ed, he was received with ridicule. The
poor old man, driven from place 10 place,
at length found himself in the part Of the
theatre appropriated TO the Sparlans who,
faithful TO the sacred customs Of their
souMry, modestly rose up and placed him
anong then. The same Athenians who
had SO shamefully Knocked him were RlTe
with admiration az the conduct Of their riv-
ais, and greeted them from every side with
the loudest applause. Tears iell from the
old mans eyes, and he exclaimed, "The
Athenians know what is right, the Spar
tans practise il "
Alexander Of Macedon, although his ex-
traordinary good fortune tended too much
TO foster his pride, well knew how to hum
BILE himself in the presence Of old age
He was stopped in one Of his triumphal
marches by a heavy fall Of snow, and hav-
ing caused u fire 70 be lighted, he was in
The act Of warming himself, when he per-
celved among the bystanders, a solder
stricken with years, and trembling with
cold. lie sprang towards him, and with
the same invincible hand which had over
turned the empire OF Darius, he took up
the benumbed old man and carried him TO.
his own seat.
l. was saying OF Parini, that the man
only was truly wicked who showed disies-
pect to old age, 10 womar, to misfortune.
Blu, above all, We should honour the
age of those who have borns he snnoyan-
ces Of our childhood and Of our youth-of
those who have contributed as fas as they
could TO form our hearts and disp, sitons.
We should he indulgen, 10 their faults, set
a generous value upon the trouble we have
given them, and upon The affection they
have shown us while tho continuance Of
our esteem and affection should be the
swee, reward Of their labours.
We ought to show a h!ial reverence for
all our supeIiors on account Of the place
which they hold with regard TO us. Re-
we're the memory of all those who have de-
served well Of their country, and Of human
nature. Their writings, their portraits,
their very tombs should he held sacred.
