Still I've got magnum to moisten my throat
And I'll drink to the Past in my tattercd old

Critical Periods of Human Life,

From the age Of forty to that of sixty
man who properly regulates himself
may be considered in the prime OF life.
His matured strength of constitution
renders him almost impervious to the at
tacks OF disease, and all his functions are
III the highest order. Having gone a
year or two past sixty, however, he ar
rives at a critical period of existence {;
the river of Death flows before him, and
he remains at Il standstill. But athwart
this river is viaduct, called " The Turn
OF Life" which, if crossed in safety, leads
to the valley "Old Age" round which
the river winds, and then flows beyond
without a boat or oauseway to affect its
passage. The bridge is, however, con-
structed of fragile materials, and it de-
pends upron how it is trodden whether
1t bend or break. Gout, apoplexy, and
other bad characters, are also in the vi
cinity to waylay the traveller, and
thrust him from the pass; but let him
gird up his loins, and provide himself
with perfect composure. To quote a
metaphor, the Turn of Life" is a turn
either into prolonged walk or into the
grave. The system and power, having
reached their utmost expansion, now be-
gin either to close like flowers at sunset,
or break down at once. One iniudicious
stimulant, single fatal excitement,
may force it beyond its strength;
whilst careful supply Of props, and
the withdrawal of all that tends to force
a plant, will sustain it in beauty and in
Vlgor until night has nearly set in. ,s
