IN MIDDLE AND OLD AGE.

No one who has taken the ordinary

early manhood should feel other than
young at the age of forty-6ve, from
which period until that of sixty, it lie
be spared to us, we shall do well to
consider ourselves mlddle-aged, and to
adept greater precautions for the pres
srvation Of heath and consequent hap
piness than might have been deemed
necessary hen youth was on our side.
And if this is done, the period Of mid
dle-age should be one Of the greatest
activity. of both body and mind. What
though the hairs are turning grey
That but shows one has suffered sorrow
survived it, or that, sorrow apart, he
IS a man who thinks. And what though
the limbs be not quite. so nimbleP Calm
enjoyments foster thought and generate
habits Of that true temperance which
conduces to long life and contentment
more than anything else in this world;
and whatever some may say to the con-
trary, 1 maintain that the desire to live
long is inherent IN every healthy sane
man or woman. To die OF old age is
the only natural death, and it death may
ever be said to be pleasant, the only
pleasant one. Thsugh younger than
some of my professional brethren still
in harness, 1 have nevertheless seen
death in very many shapes and forms,
and in almost every ease l have found
the aged more resigned.to the inevitable
than those less advanced in years. Fer
a well-spent life is like a well-spsnt day;

THE RELIABLE MAN.

The reliable mar is a man OF good
judgment. He does not jump at con-
clusions. He Is not a frivolous man.
He is thoughtful. He turns over a
subject in his. mind and looks at it all
He is not a partial or one-sided
man. He sees through a thing. He
is apt to be a very rsticent man. He
does not have to talk a great deal. He
is a moderate man not only in habits of
body, but also in mind. He is not a
passionate man il so by nature,
he has overcome it by grace. He is
a sincere man, not a plotter or
schemer. What he says may be relied
on. He is a trustworthy man. You
feel safe with your property OIL the ad-
mlnistratlon OF affairs in his hands. He
is a brave man, fer his conclusions are
logically deducted from the sure basis
Of truth, and he does not fear to MAINTAIN
them. He is a good NAN, for no one
can be thoroughly honest and truthful
without being good.

GOVERNOR SEYMOUR.

a [st. Paul Globe Dem. }. January 81
We are convinced that if Governor
Seymour desires the nomination he
eau have 1T. Indeed, matters have
progressed SO far that, notwithstand-
ing his habitual reserve, he would be
perfectly justifable in making an ef-
fort to secure it. This we do not ex-
pect him to do, however, but if his
name be chosen as the candidate of
the party he would not be justified
in declining the honor. Nor do we
believe he will do SO. He has the in
terssts Of the party too much at heart
to jeopardizs its success by a declina-
ton that would be certain to throw
the ranks into confusion and demor-
aliEation. He may be sure, if noni-
mated. of the cordial support Of every
democrat In the land, and equally
sure of q majority of the popular
vote never before given to the candi-
date of any party. If the nomina-
ton is made Governor Seymour must
accept it.
