FOR OLD MEN.

A. J. GORDON met an old man one time going to the place of prayer. “Aged friend,” said he, “why should an old man be so merry and cheerful?”
“All are not,” said he.
“Well, then, why should you be merry?”
“Because I belong to the Lord.”
“Are none others happy at your time of life?”
“No, not one, my friendly questioner,” said he; and his form straightened into the stature of younger days, and something of inspiration glowed in his countenance. “Listen, please, to the truth from one who knows; then wing it ‘round the world, and no man of threescore and ten will be found to dispute it: The devil has no happy old men.”—Selected.
