CALMKEss IN PaosPEcT or DEATH.--It
was not merely the loss OF money that
he could hear with such calmness and
tranquility--he could face death with
equal composure. Some time afterward,
being In London, he had taken the wa
ter at the Savoy Stairs, in company with
hia brother, Sir Ellis Leighton, bis lady,
and some others, and was on his way to
Lambeth, when, owing to mismanage.
ment, the boat was in great danger Of
sinking. While the rest Of the party
were pale with terror, aud most of them
crying out, Leighton never for a moment
lost his accustomed serenity. To some,
who afterward expressed their astonish.
ment at his calmness, be replied, "Why,
what harm would il be II we hEd oil been
landed safe on the other slider In the
habit Of dying daily, and of daily con-
versing with the world of spirits, DO
could never be surprised OF disconoerned
BY summons to depart out Of the body.
He ased often to think Of death, and
often spoke OF il, but never in melan-
eholy tone. His nephew even says
that in illness his spirit rose 10 an un-
usual gayety, and he would say that,
j" from the shaking Of the prison doors,
he was led 20 the hope that some Of those
brisk blasts would throw them open, and
give him the release he coveted
In letter, supposed 20 be written
shortly before bis death, he writes thus:
