After Fifty Years.
BY RUTH CAMERON.


think there are two milestones in
definitive than all the rest and which
consequently we pass more unwill-
ingly. 1 had almost said lingeringly,
but, alas, there can be no lingering in
this journey for when we most long to
1inger we are hurried along the most
inexorably.
The first is the milestone which
marks our progress from the twenties
into the thirties.
The second is the half century
mark.
Sometime ago I wrote you a few
words of encouragement for the after
thirty years; today 1 want to say
something about the after fifty years.
1 have a friend who has brought up
five children and seen them all
launched on successful careers. Two
years ago she celebrated her fiftieth
birthday. Where is she now? Rest
ing in her home after her full and
useful life, beginning to reminisce in
stead of anticipate, occupying herself
with the secondhand duties of grand
motherhood? Not by a good deal. She
has gone back into the world of bust
ness which she left years ago for her
home duties and after self-imposed
three years apprenticeship, she has
obtained a fine position in the adver
Using department of a big shop. She
when she is no longer able to do her
beloved work and not for any mile
stone, however terrifying its name.
Another woman told me this story.
Her father died, heartbroken over
the loss of all his money, just before
his last child was born. His wife, al
ready the mother of a large family of
children, was about As. Before the
child was born this wonderful mother
had learned telegraphy and after its
birth she took a responsible position
and by ner earnings sent three chill
dren through college. She lived to
be 80, still hale and hearty.
History is full of examples of people
who did not let the half century
mark bother them in the slightest
Chaucer wrote his Canterbury Tales
on which his fame chiefly rests when
he was 81.
DR.. johnson finished his &c Lives of
the Poets at ~ and afterward set
himself to learn Low Dutch to prove
that his mind was still active,
Cato learned Greek after 80 and
Plutarch, Latin at the same advanced
age.
The italians have a record of Lu
dovico Monaldesco who wrote the his
tory of his own times at the age of
115.
In our own day De Morgan, now the
author of a small library of books,
and considered one of the best au-
thors of the day, wrote his first book
