 Dr. Hunter was another who was great ly surprised by Lis experience of dying. His last words were If had strength to hold pen I would write down how easy and pleasant asthing it is to die. ,"
 A charming actress who had been twice almost drowned told a friend that dying was tho incest sensation that she knew
 Tho late Archbishop of Canterbury as his "agony" befell quietly remarked, 1t Is really nothing much after all.
 When death is bitter, it is so, as gen. eral rule, far more by reason of anxiety and remorse than from physical causes. A man, for instance, can prcely die easi- ly if he is leaving widow and family for whom provision has not been made. The medical man who attended Oliver Gold smith in his last hour asked him if there was anything on his mind, as he could not account for his temperature being so high
 The poet admitted that there was. Debt was upon his mind. To some it is riches and not poverty that renders death pain ful. When Garrick showed to Dr. John son his palatial residence, tho latter said, "Ah, David, these are things that make death terrible"
 John Wesley was once asked hy lady; Suppose you knew that you were going to die ut 12 o'clock tomorrow night How would you spend the intervening time?'
 How, madamf' he replied Why, just as intend to spend it now. I should preach this night at Gloucester and again at tomorrow morning. After that I should rido to Tewksbury, preach in the afternoon and meet tho societies in the evening l should then return to my friend Martins house, who expects to en- tortain me, converse and pray with his family as usual, retire to my bed at 10 o'clock, commend myself to my heavenly Father, lie down to rest and wake up in glory.'
 This was tho feeling which enabled the American general Stoncwall Jackson, to die as he did. When told that he had only about two hours to live, he answered Very good. It is all right. Order A. F. Hill to prepare for action. Pass the in fantry to the front rapidly Tell Major Hawks"- Presently smile of ineffable sweetness spread itself over his pale face, and lie said quietly and with an expres- sion of relief, "Let us cross over tho river and rest under tho shade of the trees.

IS DEATH PAINFUL?
Evidence That the Terrors of Dissolution
 Have Been Greatly Exaggerated.

Evidence That the Terrors of Dissolution
 Have Been Greatly Exaggerated.
 Many people, through fear of death, aro all their lives subject to bondage. Tho questions, How shall we die' When shall we die? and where shall VIC die? are con- tinually worrying them. Indeed there have been several suicides caused by the haunting terror of death. The thought of it made their lives insupportable, and they killed themselves in order to know the worst, says 0 writer in The Sunday Magazine.
 And yet it is quite possible that in TO- spect to the physical sensation of dying WIG resemble Don Quizotc when ho hung by his wrist from the stable window and imagined that tremendous abyss yawned beneath his feet Fate, in the character of Maritornes cuts the throng with light some laughter, and the gallant gentleman falls-four inchess

He was a man of considerable attainments in literature, science, art and music Above all, he was born advon- turcr, as his voyages in his " Rob Roy canoe testify, and all tho profits that he obtained from his books and lectures were handed over to the charities-charities of the best sort-in which he was interested.
