At What Age Should
Men Cease to Labor?

Just to show what queer animal
Is man, 1t is only necessary to point
to his Inconsistencies and contradic-
tions. A short while ago some lead
ing active men of the country gave
their opinions as to the age at which
man should retire from work-cease
accommodating wealth, and take his
ease with dignity. 1t was held by
some that a man should not think OF
giving up work at sixty, because at
that time of life he was best able to
appreciate all that the world had to
bestow, could do his work effectively
and consequently, should remain
in harness. BY this means he would
remain youthful in spirit, irrespective
of the weight Of years.
Those who have tried the perpetual
vacation say that for the first year it
is an ideal existence, but after that Ii

steals over one for the former activ.
tiles. To remain in idleness is to
shrivel up-decay. There is no sta.
tionary condition for man. He either
advances or recedes, and shut of from
an active life he soon becomes old, not
in years alone, but in disposition.
Some people never grow old. They
wear out, but their hearts are ever
young. So the work of life is the road
to happiness. On the other hand, it
was held that at sixty a man should
retire, and make room for younger
men. To remain at work for the pur.
pose merely Of money-getting was
something that should not be coun.
tenanced. And so this question, like
nearly all other questions. has more
than one side, and individual taste or
inclination must govern.
