Old Age. _
“Old age," said John Burroughs, the
great naturalist, "is not so much a
bugaboo after all. He is. In many
ways, better to live with than youth,
because he leaves you more at your
ease; you are in the calmer waters;
the fret and fever of life have greatly
abated. Old age brings the philosoph
ical mind; he brings a deeper, wider
outlook upon life; he brings more tol
erance and charity and good will.- I
did not squander my youth In ex
cesses, and hence I am not bankrupt
In my old age.”
