The act of dying is technically termed "the agony ;" but the pain of dying must be distinguished from the pain of the previ ous disease, for when - life ebbs, sensibility declines. , As death is the final extinction of corporal feeling,, so numbness. increases as death ,comes, on. The postration of disease like healthful fatigue, engenders a growing stypor— r a sensation of subsiding softly into a coveted repose,. The transition resembles What maybe seen in' those: lolly mountains whcise sides 'exhibit every clinnate in regu lar gradation ; vegetation luxuriates at their base and dwindles in the approach to the re gicuts of snow, till its feeblest manifeatation is,reprittsed by the cold.

A sick-room is a school of virtue, whether we are spec tators of the mortality' of our' dearest con nections or experiencing our own. To be shot is the easiest mode of termi nating life; yet rapid as it is, the body has leisure to feel, and the mind to reflect. In drowning, the struggles at the outset are • prompted by terror, not by pain ; in the ma jority of instances , a pleasing languor suc ceeds; without. any sense of suffocation. . That to be frozen to deatlimust he fright r ful torture, many would consider certain from their•own experience of the effects of cold. But here we fall. into the usual er- ror of supposing that the suffering will in crease with the energy of the agent; which could only be the case if sensibility remain ed the same. Intense.cold brings on spee dy sleep, which . facinates the senses, and fairly beguiles men out, of their lives. The most curious example of the seduc tive power . of cold is to be foend in the ad- ventures of the botanical party, who, in Ct. Cook's first voyage, were caught , in a snow storm on Terra del Fuego. Dr. Solander, by. birth a S Wede; 'arid Well acquainted with the destructive deceits of a rigorous climate, admonished' the party, in defiance of lassi tude, to keep moving on: "Whoever," said the doctor, "site down will 'sleeli•—•.aed • who ever sleeps will perish." The doctorspoke as a §age,•but• he• felt like a. man.' In spite of the remonstrances of those whom he had instructed and alarmed,,:her was the first to he down. The sa:ne .was; repeated a thou sand times , in the famous.. retreat from Moscow. , - • . • . , Worse than the halter, axe or, wheel, was the fire, which, as typical of the flames of hell, was employed in the blindness of 'the ological fury to consume the foremest of the pilgrims to,heaven. The legs, of Bishop Hooper were charred, and hia body scorch ed, before he was fully enveloped in the fire which A wind blew aside ;• nor.was • it till the pile had been twice replendished that he bowed his head and gave up the ghoit. A similar misfortune attended Ridly. An' excess of fagots hindered the flames ascend ing, and,his extremities were in ashes when his body was unsinged.. Ridly yielded slightly to the dictates of nature, and-strug gled at the height of his prorected..anguish.. Hooper remained immovable , itipthe-stake . which bound him. ' t For 'tbree quarters of an hour his patience' was proof against tho fury of the flames, ulid, he , died et length es, firmly and quietly as . a Child , in' bed.

You, who now live in - easo can never know the hardships, and perilous scenes through which the earliest settlers, passed. ,'Come -with me,' lie continued, , and I will show you the exact spot on ‘vloh the first hut ever, erected in this town I followed silently, until the old man reached the bottom of the, west side of Paris Hill. • There said he, 'on this spot was. erect ed the hut. I shall. never forget the first time I visited it, and the story I was told. 'What was it V I. asked. I will tell you. When the first settler moved here, his nearest neighbor lived 20 roller distant, in' the present down of Rom- Lord, and the only road between the 2 neigh bors was a path that he had cut through the woods himself, so that in case in • want or sickness, he might get assistance/ . One spring, I think it was the third season after he had settled here, he was obliged to go to RumfOrd after proviiions_: He arose early ono morning, and started 'for his nearest neighbor. People of the present day would think it hard to make a journey of 20 miles: for a bag of potatoes, and: on foot too r but such was the errand of:the first settler. He arrived before noon, was successbiLin get ting his potatoes, got some refreshments and started for home. But it was riot very ea- sy to travel with a load of potatoes ' • and, fin ally at sundown he threw ofr his load,` and resolved to make a shelter, and spend the night. • I have been with him to the exact locality of it; it was situated just the other side of the stream on which are mills, in the village known as Pinhook in Woodstock. He built a shelter, struck a fire, and took out of his pack a piece of meat to roast. Ah ! young man,' continued the narrator, 'you little know with what relish a man eats his food in the woods ! but as I was saying he commenced roasting his meat, when he was startled by a cry so shrill that he knew at once it could tonne from nothing but a cata mount.' .1 will 11001 telate it to you as , neat . as 1 can in the language of the old settler him.4elf. • • .1 listened a moment, .said he, and it was repeated even louder, and it seemed nearer than borate. My first thought was for my own safety. But what was Ito do? It was at least 10miles to my home, and theie was not a single human being nearer than that to me, I first thought of self defence; butJ had nothing to defend myself with. In 'a moment I concluded to start for home. for I knew the nature Of the catamount:too well to think I should . stand the least chance to es cape, if I remained in the camp. I kiiew, too, that he would ransack my camp, and I hoped that the meat Which I left behind might satisfy his appetite, so , that: ho would not follow me after eating it. , • ~. • .I had not proceeded. more "than' half, a mile before .1 knew by this shrieks of the ap imal that. he was in sight the camp.'l doubled my'speed , content, ..'that the tiepin should have my supper, although .I deelar, ed that I would not have run if I.bad' . my trusty rifle vvith•sne.
