An English magazine writer observes:
Old ago is but mask; let us not call the
mask the face. is the acorn old because
its skin has grown brown and cracks I'M
the earth? Then only Is a man growing
old when he ceases to have sympathy
with the young. That is a sign that his
heart has begun to wither.. And that is
q dreadful Kind of old age. The heart
need never be old. Indeed, Il, should all
ways he growing younger Some Of US
feel younger, do we not, than when we
were nine or ten? 1t is not necessary to
oe able to play at leap-frog to enjoy the
game. There are young creatures whose
turn tits, and perhaps whoseduty itwould
be, to play at leap-frog II there was any
necessity for putting the matter in the
light; and for us, we have the privilege,
then we say we have the duty of enjoy
ing their leap-frog. Butifwe must with
draw in measure from sociable relations
with our fellows, let 1t be for the wise
creatures that creep aside and wrap them
selves up, and lay themselves by, that
their wings may grow and put on the
lovely hues of their coming resurrection.
Such withdrawing is the name of youth.
And while il is pleasant--no one knows
how pleasant, except him who expert
ences Tito sit apart and see the drama
of life going on around him, while his
feelingsare calm and free, his vision clear,
and bis judgement righteous, the old
man must be ready, should the sweep of
action catch him in its skirts, to get on
his tottering old legs, and go with brave
heart to do the work of true man, none
the less true that his hands tremble, and
that he would gladly return to his Chin
ney corner. ie,r '4f7. "
