To be shot dead is one Of the easiest
modes Of terminating life; yet, rapid as
it is, the body has leisure to feel and re-
fleet. On the first attempt by one Of
the frantic adherents Of Spain, to assas-
sinate William, Prince Of Orange, who
took the lead in the revolt Of the Meth
Ierlands, the ball passed through the
bones Of the face, and brought him 10 the
ground. In the instant that preceded
stnpetaction, he was able 10 frame the
notion that the ceiling of the room had
fallen and crushed him.
The cannon shot which plunged into
the brain of Charles XII, did not pre-
vent him from Selling his sword by the

cessity Tor defence, was pressed on him
by blnw which we ahotld have sup
posed too tremendous 10 leave an inter
val for thought. But it by 10 means
follows that the infictmg Of fatal yio-
lence is accomplished by pang. From
what is known OF the first effect of gun
shot wounds, it is probable that the i'm
preston is rather stunning than acute.
Unless death be immediate, the pain i
as varied as the nature Of the injuries,
and those are past counting up.
