WHOLE NO., SIG.
Dying.

We take the following from tho November
number of tho atlantic Monthly. 1t is very
truthful and very beautiful -
"NO human being can rost for any time
in state of equilibrium, whero tho desire
to live and that to depart just balance oach
othor. If QUO has house, in which he he's
lived, and alway means TO live, he pleases
himself with the thought of all the conven-
ionces it offers him, aud thinks little of its
wants and imperfections. But once having
mado up his mind to move to better, every
incommodity starts out upon him, until tho
very ground-p plan of it seems to haya
changed in his mind, anl his thoughts and
affections, each of them packing up its little
bundle Of circumstances, hayo quilted their
several chambers and hooks and migrated
to their new homo, long before apartments
arc ready to receive their bodily tenant.
/. is SO with the body. Most persons
hayo died before thoy expire,-died to all
earthly longngs, so that tho last breath is
only, as II wore, tho locking of the door of
tho already deserted mansion. The fact of
tao tranquility with which the great major
ity OF dying persons await this locking of
those gates of life through which its airy
angels have been going and coming, from
tho moment Of the tirst cry, ia familiar to
tbcse WHO nave OCCN O!tC0 CQllcu upon 10
witness tho last period Of life.
Almost always there is preparation
mado By nature for unoarthing a soul, Just
as ON q smaller scale there is for the ro-
noyal OF milk.;ooth The roots which
hold human life to earth arc absorbed be-
ioro it is lifted from its place. Some Of tho
dying are weary and want rest, the idea of
which is almost inseparablc in the universal
mind from death. Some are in pain and
want to bo rid of it, even though the ano-
dyno DO dropped, as in the legend, from the
sword of tho death angel.
Some are upiiied-mercifully narcotized,
that they may go to sleep without long
tossing about. And some are strong in faith
and hope. so that, as they draw near the
next world, they would fain hurry toward it
as tho caravan moves faster over the sands
when tho foremost travellers send word
along the file that water is in sight.
! Though each liitlo party that follows in a
foo..track Of its own will have it that tho
water to which they arc Fastening is q mi
ragc. not tho less has it been true in all ages,
aud for human beings of every creed which
recognized Il future, that those who have
! fallen, worn out by their march through the
desert, hayo dreamed at last of River of
Life, and thought thcy heard its murmurs
as they lay dying.
