 And the curse being ended, the sight that the husband and wife had of each other rained into their eyes as if it were nectar, filling them with tears of joy.

Then King Sahasranika took his queen Mrgav vak along with Udayana followed by the deer shedding tears to the forest of penanoe and bidding farewell to JAmadagni, set out from the tranquil hermitage to his own city.

SOME FAMOUS OLD MEN.

The longevity of famous states
men is remarkable. Imagine Lord
Palmerston acting vigorously as
Prime Minister of England when
over eighty, governing the vast
British Empire with steady hand,
and making speeches three hours
long in the House of Commons, and
rising next day as fresh as a man of
forty! Think of the venerable
Guizot, the French statesman, who
at the age of eighty-seven, was still
writing histories, presiding over re-
ligious conventions, and carrying on
lively discussions in the French
Academy.
The late Lord Lyndhurst made
able speeches in the House of Lords
when he passed his ninetieth year
and his longtime rival, Lord Rroug-
ham wrote his autobiography in
three goodly volumes, when he had
nearly reached ninety years.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, who,
as Lord Henry Petty, was a leading
member of the ''All the Talents
Cabinet, of which Charles James
Fox was the chief, in 1906, was still
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1886-10-01

an active member of the House of
Lords nearly sixty years later, in
1868, and died in that year at the
age of eighty-three.
The Duke of Wellington took
part in public affairs until his death,
in 1852, in his eighty-third year.
In former generations energetic
statesmen of advanced years are
found thichly scattered through the
pages of history. There was the
Marquis of Winchester, who could
remember Edward ", the first
York sovereign, in 1883, and who,
when he died in 1873, at the age of
ninety-seven, was holding office
under Queen Elizabeth.
Referring to the statesmen Of our
own country, it is q familiar fact
that John Adams and Thomas
jefferson, the second and third Pres
idents, both died OH the 4th of
July, 1926, just half century from
the day on which both signed the
Declaration of Independence, Adams
being ninety-one and Jefferson
eighty-three. President Andrew
jackson lived to be eighty-two,
John Quincy Adams to be eighty
one, Madison, eighty-five. s
