Last Words.

The last words Of the dying are held
in estimation beyond their intrinsic
worth. We listen with reyerent hush
to the half mat dble, and sometimes
incoherent mutterings Of the clog.ing
breath, and seem to think there is
something inspired in its utterance And
when the thickeuing tongue, over which
the mind has little tutelage, has cnunci-
ated sentence Of more than ordinary
vacuity, we accept the profound stu
pidity Ct the words as pregnant with Il
meaning beyond our ken Words Of
less than average weight come through
this channel, fraught with cogency
that staggers our comprehension
And ideas, which, if enantiug from a
healthy mind, would be remarkable in
nothing; when radating from the dim
light Of an expiring intelligence, seem
bright with the effulgence of divine
wisdom
II is rare indeed that the sense of
approaching dissolution gives koener
vision to spiritual eyes a diving phi.
losopher, whose reason has been de-
:hroned, wanders back in abiect imbe
cility to the song of ballet girl, which
he has heard years before, and repeats
half dozen words of her stanza. They
are sanctiEed by his expiring breath
and are inscribed on his tombstone. A
great statesman Frustrated by dissipa
tion rallies from sinking trance to
speak three words of conscious exis
tence They are his last aud for that
reason are revered as a whispering
from that bourne whence no travelle,
