KIM DOOLSIELLZII.  At the ;Veered of -one of Voltaire's tragedies, as Mr. Cramer, a bookseller at Geneva, wee fini•hing his part, which was to end with some dying sentences, Voltaire cried out aloud-• Cramer, you lived like • prince in the four preceding acts, but in the fifth you die like • bookseller." A medical gentlemen present could not help interfering, with, "Why, Mons. de Voltaire, con you expect gentlemen to be at the expense of dresses, and the fatigue of getting up such long parts, if you thus upbraid them? On the contrary, I think they all deserve the greatest encouragement at your bands; and as to my Mend Cramer, I declare, that, as far as I am • judge, he dim with the same dignity aa he lived." Voltaire, who detested advice or information, made this cool answer; "Prithee, doctor, when you have got kings to kill, kill them in your own way; but let me kill mine as I please."  3=A4zAßLit srmomm.  The followiing remarable instance of deliberate suicide is recorded of Count de Hymn, who was Minister of State to the King of Poland, but bad been afterwards disgratied, and confined two years ill the fortreas of Monigstein :—On the night of the 21st oi April, 1736, he hanged himself, with a handkerchief fastened to shook in the wall, leaving the following note for two of his Ferrante: "Be prudent; make no noiae or alarm; untie me immediately; put me to bed, and then abut the door after you, by boltins it when you are out, whi?,h you may do by the help of this packthread; by this mesas nobody will know you have been in my chamber. The world will, doubtless, believe I died of apoplexy. If you execute my orders discreetly and faithfully, my family will pay you 1,000 ducats, upon your producing this note to them.
