The habitual use Of good language in 81.
binary speech prepares for its use, readily
and almost without effort on occasions Of

to form this faculty. is the fregnrnting goo1

correctness and grace, almost without study,

not always be able to do this, he can in q
great degree supply the place Of it by cul.
tivating the society of the masters of his

SO there is no excHse Epf neglect in this

The great DR.. Rhysic left an injunction
that blood vessel should be severed before
he was buried, in order to make it certain.
that he was dead.
The marvellous stories put in circulation,
by the eredulous, in reference to the turn.

clothes in the fearful struggle for breath,

iron raises no blister on tie skin, or if d

no reasonable ground for doubling that death
