There Is no reason in the world, why,
1t man lives in harmony with the laws
OF nature, and takes moderate care of his
complexion, he should not grow more
attractive and handsome, as he advances
in years. Every man not marked by the
ravages OF physical or mental suffering
should be finer looking at forty-five than
at twenty five. The years from thirty
five to sixty are the best years of mans
life; and to prove that one has only to
turn to the prominent men of our coun-
try. 1t is fact, that almost invariably
fathers are handsomer than their sons.
