Growing Old.

There is much solemnity in the con-
viction that one is growing old-but
there should be no sadness. The
thought often comes to such an one :
"rhere is my life. There is what |
am very soon to answer for. | must
answer for very much more than if |
died young. What will God say to
me about it ?" The ageing person has
ample notice of the close of his proba-
tion-to those who die young there is
next to no notice. He has ample time
to set his house in order, and he will
have to answer for that privilege, too.
What should the effect ofthis situation
be upon his mind? Ought it not to
make him Independent and fearless !?
Is he not already emancipated from the
fear Of man? AS the world narrows
and shrinks, why should not the free
dom and the moral heroism of heaven
expand as his already received herit-
age 1t would seem that this ought to
be so, and that it ought to bring a sense
of great happiness. A great many old
people do enter very largely upon the
higher life before they have done with
this. There is no pull upon them but
love and duty, and these pull both
ways, toward God and toward man,
and strongly toward righteousness in
its relations to both worlds. Let the
old man stand like a marble pillar UNI
der the good and true. He ought to
realize that the breeze of the morning
The finest fire we have seen is the
sparkle of old eyes, lit up by the cour-
age and hope Of the rising sun. Die :?
The old man is not going to die. He
has no thought of dying. He is only
getting ready to live, 81 have not
begun to fight yet" said Paul Jones,
as he stepped from the decks of the
scuttled and sinking Bonnie Homme
