Or. TaImage on Growing Old.

Do not be fretted because you have
come to spectacies. While glasses look
premature on young mans nose, they
are an ornament TO an octogenarian's
face. Besides that, when your eyesight
is poor, YOU miss seeing great many un-
pleasant things that the younger are OBJ
liged to look at Do not be worried be-
cause your ear is becoming dull In that
way you escape being bored with htany
Of the foolish things that are said. ifthe
gates of sound keep out much Of the dis
cord. II the hair be getting thin, it takes
less time 10 comb it, and it is not all the
time falling down over your eyes: or If
it be getting white, We think that color
is quite as respectable as any other-that
is the color Of the snow and Of the bios
SONS and Of the angelic babiliments.
Do not worry because the time comes ON
when you must 90 into the next world.
1t is only better room, with finer pict-
ures, brighter society and sxeeter music.
Robert McChene and John Knox and
Harriet Newell and Mrs Hemans and
John Milton and Martin Luther will be
good enough company for the most Of Us.
The corhstacks standing in the field to-
day will not Sigh dismally when the
husker leap over the fence, and throwing
their arms around the stack, swing it to
the ground tits only to take the golden
ear from the husk. Death to the aged
Christian is only husking time, and then
the load goes in from the frosts to the
garner. Our congratulations 10 those
who are nearly done with the nuisance
of this world. Give your staff to your
little grandson 70 ride horse on. You
are going 10 be young again, and you viii
have no more need Of crutches- May the
clouds around the setting sun be golden,
and such as lead the weather wise" to
prophesy clear morning.-New York
