"In old age alone we are masters of a treasure of which we cannot be eprived , the only treasure we can call our own. The pleasures of memory

and the retrospect of the varied images which in an active life have floated before the mind , compensate , and more than compensate, for the alterna t e pleasures and cares of active life."- SIR ARCHIBALD ALLISON.
