MR. J. WIALOUGHBY FOXALL.

Thu amiable and excellent young man was born
at Walsall, Staffordshire, March 22, 1792, and
departed this life ut the same place in the house of a
relative and friend.
This event was improved in an address to young
people ut Walsall Chapel, a short extract from which
may perhaps not be unacceptable to our juvenile
readers :

" And now, my dear young friends, cannot we
learn some important lesson at the tomb of this our
departed brother? Shall it be said that he has died
in vain, or that the voice of Providence has spoken
to us in vain? His early and unexpected death has
read aloud in all your win the affeeting'sentimentin •
the text,. All flesh is gram/ You are n'w in the
bloom of youth, in the prime•of your'dats, in all die
height of your pleasing anticipations; but see how
death cuts' downvthe fairest flower thdt ilossoms in
the family, and writes upon his coffin the melancholy
truth, • the &ray of man is the flower of grass.'
Now, thent whilst you are retired from the fasci-
natirtg•cbarmaof time and sense, and at the grave of
your friend contemplating the oft-forgotten, the
much neglected truth, the mortality of man , whilst
the scenes of death are familiar to your minds, let
us•press home to ',oar conscience the important
inquiry, What security have you for the next
hour?. What grounds have you to expeerthat your
life, above all others, will-be spared? Examine the
VMS of mortality, look at the ravages of death on
every hand, see the king of terrors seize in his
impartial grasp persons in the extremity of life, in
the middle stage, and in the pride of youth. Let the
tolling bell, the yawning sepulchre, and the dreary
coffin speak the language they are designed to -
speak, and from the grave, if from no other, let the
wise man be beard, • Boast not thyself of to-morrow,'
&c. • Oh! foolish people and unwise. io build
your everlasting all upon the vain expectation tit' to-
morrow; to suppose that death will alw*ks• pass by
yourselves to strike your neighbour; When perhaps
the fatal arrow is now pointed at you, breasts which
must bring you to the dust. tVlitist we tremble for
your presumptien we feel foe your danger, and
breathe the spirit and the prayer of Moses, Oh,
that you were wise, that.yOu understood these th:ngs,
that you would•duly consider your latter end.' "
