FRIDAY-5TH DAY.

Old Agc.-There is quiet repose and
steadiness about the happiness OF age, says
HAzLTT, il the life has been we'll spent
Its ieebleness is not painful. The nervous
system has lost its acuteness. Even in ma
ture years we feel that burn, a scald, a
cut is more toerable than 1t was in the
sensitive period Of youth. The fear OF ap-
preaching death which in youth we imag-
inc must cause inquielude to the aged, is
very seldom the source OF much uneasiness,
We never like TO hear the old regretling
the loss of their youth. 1t is sign that
they are not living their life Alright. There
are duties and pleasures for every age, and
the wise will follow them. They will
neither regret the loss of youth, nor affect
to be younger Than they are. When men
they will not dress as boys, nor cohpett
with them. When matrOns, or mattoh'
like maids, they will not dress like girls
When young women, they will not be
childish, and play piping tunes by way o.
enchantment. To be happy, We must b'
true to nature, Snd carry our age along
| with us,
