A SAD DEATH.
Horrible Thoughts that Filled a
Mans Mind while Life
FlOated Away.

Little Rock Gazette.l
Last night minister was summoned
to the bedside of a dying man. The
mar who lay gradually obeying the
grave summons, gasped and groaned.
The minister moved to the bedside
and held the hand of the victim. The
wife, wild with grief, sank to the floor.
My friend" said the minister,
you are a nan whose prosperous con-
dition in this life has allowed you
much time for devotional exercises.
Your dear little children, your wife
informs me, are visiting relatives.
They will not see their father die.
How many children have you2"
Thirteen" gasped the dying man.
Il had nj idea that you had so
many. Poor little ones. Your poor
wife looks as though she will die.
Judging from your number Of chill
dren | should think that you had
been married more than once. How
many wives has the good Lord granted
you?"
Fifteen" groaned the man.
Surely not so many" said the min.
lister. Think of this matter seriously.
How many times have you been mar
ried?'
Fourteen and the victim fell back
exhausted"
Are you willing to die?" asked the
minister, after a pause.
Move three up, six down and eight
to the left
Are you prepared to share the
glorious territory of Abraham Z
bosom?'
Move ten up!"
Have you made your peace with
your Savior ?"
Simplest thing in the world-movC
nine down."
Take your mind from the confused
arithmetic of the world and place il
on heavens holy algebra. Are you
willing to stand before the great
thronc?"
Three"
Can you go fearlessly? ?"
Eleven"
After life's desperate struggle
what have you accomplished
Thirteen, fifteen, fourteen!" and
the mar was dead.
