CARE OF AGED PARENTS.


One OF the Most Beautifaf Claims That
Nature Has to Give.
There is no more pathetic object IN
life than an old. dependent person.
whose life work is finished; who lives
from day to day with no special pur-
pose or ambition to stimulate life:
simply waiting for the grim messenger,
whose certain call is constantly ex-
pecred by them Some people seem to
think that the sensibilifies of such old
people become callous. that they are in
different to sights and inattention;
that they can put up with inferior &C
comnodations and few comforts with
much less Inconvenience than the
Younger members of the family But
instead. think the feelings Of such
ones become painfully sensitive. Thei,
dependent condition is CALLING to the last
degree. If they do not complain. II Il
not from indifference. bat because they
know com planning would be unavaiE
ing. The lessons of patience they have
learned in the hard school OF lite stand
them in good stead in this hnal trial
Is il not enough that old persons must
hear the painful consciousness that lite
is about over. that the once vigorous
body has become feeble and inactive:
the ouick mental faculties darkened oy
a cloud, and the physical beauty that
charmed the eye has withered ut the

this should be borne without being
