One ordered his body to be sewn mp

compass ; another in amber, as the flies,

other in honey, a disciple of DemOcl1tus,

The jest is deficient, perhaps in point

this world turned upside down, that at
the time of the general resurrection and
restoration he might be found as fiat

Bowling. Some have desired to be
buried without collins, and it seems
probable, from the absence Of the name
OF this continuance III the burial service,
that at the time of the compilation OF
formula it was not in common use. The
officiating priest, it Will be remembered,
speaks invariably of the corpse or body.
Others buried in collins or vaults have
desired that the lids should not be sol
dered down, and that the door OF the
vault should have the key inside, as If
they dreaded the absence, after their
long interlude of sleep, of some angel
to roll away the stone from the mouthO of

Lord Brougham, "to habit, upon which,
in all ages, the lawgiver, as we'll as the
schoolmaster, has mainly placed his re-
lance; habit, which makes everything
easy, and casts all difficulties upon the
deviation from a wOnted course. Make
sobriety a habit, and intemperance will
be hateful make prudence a habit, and
reckless profigacy will be as contrary to
the nature Of the child, grown or adult,
as the most atrOciOus crimes are to any
OF your lordships. Give a child the
habit of sacredly regarding the truth, of
carefully respecting the property of
others, of scrupulously abstaining from
all acts of improvidence which can in
volve him in distress, and he viii just as
likely think of rushing into IN element
in which he cannot breathe, as of lying,
