Late Begining.

Sir Walter Scott began to write his celebrated novels at forty. Milton began “Paradise Lost” at fifty. When “East Lynne” appeared its author, Mrs. Henry Wood, was forty-five. Cromwell was forty-one when he began his public career. The year of the heglra was the fifty-third of Mohammed, and Marlborough reached his independent command at the same age. In spiritual examples Abraham was seventy-five when called out of Cbaran, and Moses was eighty when he stood before Pharaoh as the champion of Israel.
