Sensation of Dying from Cold.

1t is certainly painful and disagree
able to be sick, but it is an intense sat
isfaction to know that the final stage
of death are accompanied by no pain
whatever. only SO far as regrets may be
experienced. Even the various stages
of freezing to death do not seem to
cause any very uncomfortable sensa-
tions. The pleasures of freezing are
set forth By d Canadian physician, who
at one time enjoyed them. His tongue
and then his arms became stiff, sharp
chills ran down his back. and finally ii
seemed as though his whole body had
concealed, causing an almost entire
cessation of the hearts action. This
condition Of suffering speedily gave
place to grateful warmth. which
seemed to sutfuse the system and cause
al celebrating glow. He was driving.
AID by this time had reached house,
bat he went on, thinking that nothing
was now to be feared. The sleigh APP
peared to him to glide through the air
with great swiftness. and the horses
seemed to fly like birds. A sense of
exultation filled him, and he urged the
beasts to greater speed. The woods on
each side of the rad were passed so
quickly that they seemed indistinguieh IA
able black lines. Then the jingle Of
bells sounded further and further away,
until they passed out Of hearing in the
distance. He fell gradully into a deli
c1ous siumber. which came near being
the sleep of death.

likewise well represented in the city,
and inquiry will enable the stranger to
readily locate any particula" church he
