good story made at Whites. \ man
dropped down dead at the door, and was
carried in; the club Immediately made
bets whether he was dead or not, and
when they were going to bleed him the
wagerers for his death interposed, and
said it would affect the fairness of the
bet"
1t has been beautifully said that "the
veil which covers the face of futurity il
woven BY the hand Of mercy"
