We all spend much time in panegyrie of longevity. We consider it a great thing to be an octogenarian. If any one dies in youth say: ‘What a pity!" Dr. Mublenbergh, in old age, said that the hymn written in early life by his own hand, no more expressed his sentiment when it said; I would we not live alway If one be pleasantly circumstanced he never wants to go.
