first Inconvenience Is that It withdraws
i man from active life, from business
which demands youthful strength of
body. Hut, he asks, Is there no work
peculiar to old age, which the mind
and soul aloue direct, in spite of phy
sical feebleness? Did Fablus Maxlmns
do nothing, or Pnulus Emlllus, and tho
other old men, Fabrlclus and Curlns?
Applus Claudius was old and blind,
and yet the senate listened to his
words and obeyed them. But the mom
ory of the aged falls. Yes, If It Is not
exercised or If It Is naturally lazy. Cato
tells his hearers that he remembers
not only the names of his fellow-citizens,
but also those of their fathers
and grandfathers, and that no old man
ever forgets where he hides his money.
A man can always remember things
'that biterest him.
In replying to the objection that old
Sage diminishes the strength of tho

the force which youth possesses, as in
litis youth he did not desire the
strength of a bull or an elephant. Tho
wise man uses his strength according

It Is an admirable privilege to bo able
to despise many of the pleasures of

worthy of eulogy if It has for a founda
tion the virtues of a well-spent youth.
Neither white hairs nor wrinkles can
give to age authority, but only as they
accompany a life rouuded out In honor
and virtue.
