Better to Make a Fight.

When the good knight. Don Quixote, hung by his wrist trmn the stable window, he imagined that a tremendous abyss yawned beneath his feet. Presently the thong was cut, and the gallant adventurer fell “four inches." Many others, before and since his day. have had similar experiences. Black clouds, seemingly full of concealed lightnings and unuttered thunder, have drifted harmlessly over our heads. Calamities, when they really come, are often found much less dreadful than we feared them to be.

May not this be true also in respect of that inevitable event, death ? After much observation, Pliny avowed his opinion that the moment of dissolution was the most exquisite instant of life.

How I should eiij-iy standing before a great audience, and, with Mrs Lynch s Jotter as a text, preaching a lay sermon 011 the facts mentioned in it.

We see that a winning battle can be made for life and health in the face of doubt and discouragement, and after the failure of other treatment.
