JUST BEFORE DEATH.
Tbs FIRST Impressions of Life Are the
Last 10 Fade from
Memory.

In the account of Mr. Gladstone's
death given in the London Telegraph
it was stated that during the last two
days, whcnever he was delirious, his
broken sentences, even his muttcred
prayers, were spoken in French. 1t
is probable that during his earliest
childhood his nurse was French, and
that she had taught him to pray in
her language.
It is a fact established by physicians
that the mind, after a lingering i'll
ness, just before death, frequently
goes back to it's earliest experiences.
The first impressions Of life are the
last to fade from the memory. Aged
women who have long been grand
mothers, when propped up on their
death-beds TO sign a will, have been
known to write the maiden name, un-
used for half a century.
The vicious old roisterer, Falstaif, in
his dying hour "babbled O. green
felds;" and Napoleon went forth TO
meet the grim conqueror Of all kings.
not poor prisoner surrounded by his
ianers, but at the head Of his armies
again young, dominant, victorious.
DR.. Valmy, surgeon in the confed-
crate army during the civil war, once
stated that II was not uncommon for
men who died on the field from gun
shot wounds to forget the battle
raging near them and in their
thoughts to go back home. No mat
ter how furious the mission Of the
fight had been, the touch Of death
swept it away, and they muttered OF
mother" or some prayer which they
had long ago learned from her. None
of us can pierce the awful mystery
Of death; yet It sometimes seems as
If the soul, going out again into the
darkness, passed into the unknown
from which It came, and found at It's
exit the dear, familiar faces and
thoughts which welcomed IL here
waiting to bid it Godspeed upon SIS
| journey.
