Hearts That Are Always Young.

A pleasant, cheerful, generous, chari-
table-minded woman is never old. Her
heart is as young at sixty or seventy as
it was at eighteen or twenty; and they
who are old at sixty or seventy are not
made old by time. They are made old
by the ravages of passion, and feelings
of an unsocial and ungenerous nature,
which have cankered their minds,
wrinkled their spirits and withered
their souls. They are heartless, dull,
cold, Indifferent; they want the WELL
spring of youthful affection. which is
always cheerful, always active. always
engaged in some labor of love that is
calculated to promote and distribute
enjoyment. There is an old age OF the
heart that is possessed by many who
have no suspicion that there is any
thing old about them, and there is a
youth which never grows old, lover
who is ever boy, a Psyche who is ever
a girl.-N 7. Ledger.
