Ten thousand human beings

Ten thousand human beings
set forth together on their jour
ney. After ten years, one-third,
at least, have disappeared. At
the middle point of the COM
mon measure of life but half
are still upon the road. Faster
and faster, as the ranks grow
thinner, they that remain till
now become weary, and lie
down and rise no more. At
three score-and-ten, a band of
some four hundred yet strug-
gle on. At ninety, those have
been reduced to a handful of
thirty trembling. patriarchs.
Year after year they fall in di-
minishing numbers. One lin
gers, perhaps, a lonely marvel,
till the century is over. We
look again, and the work of
death is finished.
