Ill. Mr.. Osborn. of Chicago, the
uncle of Judge and pr. Osborn, is a
splendid example of beautiful old
age. Although he is ~ years old, he
is so active mentally and physically,
that he would readily pass for twenty
wears Younger. In his case. we can
readily believe that DR.. Hamilton was
not far from right, i'll his article to
prove that. barring the accidents of
life, we should all live over an hun
dred years, and should be able to enjoy
life up to that time. Our reporter
saws that his faith in this has been
strengthened in seeing Mr.. Osborn,
and that we can believe that he has
many years in store. To meet such
an one so full of the past and 50
keenly alive to the presents rare
treat. Such an one is living history.
We think of Lincoln as one of our
couutry's great historical characters;
and yet this gentleman, of whom we
write, was born before Lincoln. This
fact makes us feel that all such splen-
did old men are gracious visitors from
another world. We welcome them,
aud we love them as the ideal of our
life. And as we write, the presence of
our townsman Mr.. William Lanyon,
now in his seth year so sturdy and
strong-comes before us, and we think
Of him as being a formidable rival
with Mr. Osborn in the race of years.
May they both have many to come.
