| A London undertaker has, within the | last few weeks, driven through the city as an advertisement an enormous coffin, mounted on a base and drawn by five horses. This final receptacle is got up in the most gaudy colors, ornamented with the name and address of the purveyor on the outside, and lined within with satin or some other comfortable and pleasaut-looking material. A live corpse, with a sheet about him, did duty in this luxurious tenement, just to let the public see what a fine time one would have of it who should be lucky enough to obtain possession of the lodgment in perpetuity. Sweetly sings a nineteenth century poet: “ What will heal my bleeding heart! ” Lint, man, lint; put on plenty of lint. Or, hold a cold door key to the back of your neck, press a small roll of paper under the end of your lip and hold up 3 r our left arm. This last remedy is to be used only in case your heart bleeds at the nose.
