Mr.. Blank was an enthusiast,
and what most excited his en-
thusiasm were the dying words of
some of the great men who had
lived on the earth. He had stored
up in his memory the last words
of all the great philosophers,
statesmen, warriors and other ce>
lebrities that hade been report
ed. He was addicted to quoting
"Head of the army" Napoleon;
"Don't give up the ship" Law.
renee; "This is the last Of earth, >
John Quincy Adams; stilllive,"
Daniel Webster, and so on. At
length his own time came to die,
and he felt it incumbent on him
to give utterance to "last dying
words" such as should reverber-
ate down the coming centuries and
echo to the end of time. AS he
had never been a warrior, or a
statesman, or navigator, nor filled
any position in life more eminent
than a ward politician, he mourn
ed to feel himself circumscribed
by the narrow limits of common
place experience for a selection of
words. For weeks he had lain on
his back, slowly sinking, thinking,
thinking, but never a word worthy
of being bequeathed as an heir
loom to posterity came to his MUD.
For days he had not spoken; he
did not wish to mar the effect of
the grand words he should utter
as his last, by speaking others Of
less import shortly before. As
he lay revolving the matter in
his mind in silence, the absurdity
of a man of his gigantic intellect
being unable to evolve from his
inner consciousness a few words
that should become immortal pre-
sented itself wildly to his mind,
and inadvertently he exclaimed:
"How ridiculous 1 ami" The UNI
wonted effort brought on a cough
ing which ended in gasp, which
ended him. His aged wife, who
had been inconsolable at his sup
posed unconscious condition, TAX
ing comfort at his having spoken
before his departure, Remarked:
"Well, its a great satifaction at
any rate that the old man died
sensible at last"
