nave little pleasure IN the past, and no pros.
peci of future tranquility in this life, it is a
pleasure to contemplate my approaching
death, and why may not speak what feel!
All these observations were made with such
sweetness of manner, and such calmn.ss of
tone, as to make an impression never to be
etfaced from the minds of those who we're
present. The night between Monday and

besides, there are persons who kept aloof
from me when alive, who may have no obiec
ton TO see me when dead, and there is no
good reason for satisfying their curios,ty.''-
She then again a6verted with great regret TO
her inability to bestow adequate compensa-
ton on her servants, or remembrances on
her friends; but said, their services and md
ne's were deeply written on her heart. Mr.
Wilde then left her for some ti.ne.
