"Who's that talking?" called the

"Why didn't you either leave that

"Are you talking to me9' de-

Curious Dying Words

Voltaire breathed a prayer full
Of his own satire when his dying
lips murmured, "God-if there is a
God-have mercy on my soul-if I
have q SOUL"
Webster said, II still live" and
Washington, ut is we'll"
A poor darkey down South, when
told by tho doctor that he was to
die, murmurcd, devoutly, "De good
Lord have mercy on dis poor Mig
abs soul; but who's gwine to tako
care OBJ Mars Toms clothes like
me?"
Napoleon called, "7tte d arn,es;"
and ssonewall Jackson was heard
in the night to call, "Tell A. P.
Hill to prepare for action;" but at
the last moment he murmured,
softly, "Let lis pass ovor the river
and rest under tho shade Of the
trees"
Tho poet Burns pleaded with his
last strength, "Don't let that awk.
ward squad fire over my grave"
John Randolph ended bis satiri-
cal life with a strangely..appropri.
ate word. The doctor was reading
the bible to him, ard pronounced
the word omnipotent with the &c.
cent on the third syllable. The
dying man rose from his bed and
exclaimed in q hoarse voice: "Om.
nipotentl Omnipotentl" and fell
back dead.
Lord Chestcrfeld's last words
showed him polite in death: "Givc
Dayrolcs chair"
Lord Nelson's we're: "Tell
Collingwood to bring the fleet to
anchor"
Sir Thomas Moore, mounting
tho scafold, said, pleasantly, u
pray you, see me safely up, and fol
my coming down I can shif, for
myself"
