necessity Of giving up all literary labor
He thought it woull bo impossible for him
to endore another year ofwork, aad they
were already ag,tating 'he question Of who
should fill his pulpit while he took years
respite from labor in trayel. 1t may not be
unworthy Of mention in this connection,
that Mr.. King always had a strong and
strange presentiment that he should not
live beyond the age Of forty, and one Of his
hicnds in this city now has letter written
by him some four years since, giving his
reasons for this belief. 1t is curious, too.

them that neither the wind pipe nor any OF
the arteries were severed, and that he could
recover il they would only stop the bleed

which had already begun to settle in his
throat. sm@s =.
