take clean piece Of phosphorus,

IL is common symptom in ner-
vous disease, and is here considered
with regard TO its influence on
health. In these cases it seems
rather to spoil life than to distroy il.
Not only the child, but the man till
thirty, never feels that he is mortal;
but after forty, mans thoughts are
much occupied by the inevitable
prospects, and most Of US have our
little corps Of consolation TO protect
US from the fear Of il. Those Of
authors come out in their works.
One Of the most remarkable is
little Essay on Death by Lord Ba-
con, not that in his essays, but to-
wards the end Of his works, near his
will.
The curate Of a London parish,
who has great experience Of death
bed scenes, was asked how people
generally met their endl And the
answer was "either they wish for it
as relief from suffering, or they
are not conscious Of it." Even DR..
Johnson, who dreaded death so much
at distance, seems to have feared
it as little on its arrival as other
people, and we believe that 10 many
persons with right views, who have
had liberal allowance Of sickness
and sorrow, death becomes an object
not so much OF apprehension as Of
curiosity and interest. This state Of
mind is not only necessary for our
comfort during health, but for our
sa ETY. during sickness. One Of the
ablest physicians alive once said,
that in dangerous illness, ceeteriS
pdribuS, a Christian would have a
better chance OF recovery than an
unbeliever-thai religious reSigna-
ton was a better soothing medicine
than a poppy, and better cordial
Than an ether. DR.. Reid gives a
similar opinion in the following
expressive passage: "The habitual
horror which thus overshadows the
mind, darkens the little daylight o.
lie. An indulgence in this morbid
excess OF apprehensIons not only
embitters a mans existence, but
may often tend to shorten its dura-
lion. He hasiens the advance OF
death by the fear with which his
frame is seized az It's real or IInSgiaa-
ry approach. His trembling hand
involuntarily shakes the glass in
which his hours are numbered"
Contradictory as it may appear,
there are we'll attested instances OF
persons who have been driven even
to suicide, by the dread Of dissolU.
