HIS gallant steed he lightly spurred;
He turned his face and rode away
Toward tne grave OF dying day,
And vanished with its parting ray

The Joy of Sudden Death.

1t is more than twenty years ago since
Bishop WilDerforce, riding with Earl
Granville TO Mr.. LevesoB-G Covers seat in
Surrey, where Mr.. Gladstone so often
STAYS. fell from his horse and was killed.
1t was said at the time that he desired
sudden death. Singular confirmation of
this Is afforded by story just told in an
obituary notice of the Rev. George Crabbe
Rolfe. for flfty-tour years Vicar of HALEY.
Oxon. The writer says: "Oa one occa-
sion the Bishop and MIR. Rofe were riding
together down a very steep hill in the
parish, the Vicar on his old pony, the
Bishop, as usual, on his one good mount.
The latter rode down somewhat too pre-
eipita,ely for the Vicar and his pony. and
Mr.. Rolfe, on catching his lordshp up,
twitted him upon his intrepid horseman-
ship. To this the Bishop replied that
sudden death was about the happiest
thing that could happen to a man."
