Tho Lamp Of Life,

The comparison Of human life to
the burning and going out OF a lamp
was familiar with Latin authors, as We
know by the term senes decrepiti. Plu-
tarch explains the origin OF this meta
iphor thus: The ancients never extin-
'guished their lamps, but suffered them
to go out Of their own Accord-that Is,
by the last crackle. Hence a lamp
gust about to expire was said decrepi-
Itare, to cease to crackle. Hence, meta
,phorically, persons on the verge Of the
grave were called decrepit men.
