CRAWFORDSVILLE RECORD.
DEATH BEDS OF DISTINGUISHED MEN. Sir John Hawkins has recorded of Doctor Johnson, that when suffering under that disease which ended in his dissolution, he addressed his friends in the following words;
"You see the state I am in conflicting with bodily pain and mental distraction. While you are in health and strength, labor to do good, and avoid evil, if you ever wish to escape the distress that oppresses me." When lord Lyttleton was on his death bed, his daughter, lady Valentia, and her husband, came to see him. He gave them his solemn benediction, adding "Be good, be virtuous, my lord; you must come to this.'" The tiiumphant death of Addison will be
remembered with feelings ot pleasure by all
Having sent for the younf Earl of Warwick
ne anecuonaxeiy pressea his nana, saying
"bee in w hat peace a christian can die."
The father of William Penn was opposed to his son's religious principles; but finding
that he acted with sincerity, was at last re
conciled. When dying, he adjured him
do nothing contrary to his conscience "So,"
said he, "you will keep peace within, which
will be a comfort in the day of trouble."
Locke, the day before his death, addressed
lady Masham, who was sitting at his bedside
exhorting her to regard this world only as
state of preparation for abetter. He added
that he had lived long enough, and expressed his gratitude to God for tha happiness that
had tallen to his lot
Sir Walter Raleigh behaved on the scaffold
with the greatest composure. Having vin
dicated his conduct in an eloquent speech, he felt the edge of the axe, observing with a
smile "It is a sharp medicine, but a sure remedy for all woes. " Being asked which way he would lay himself on the block, he
replied "so the heart be right it is no matter
which way the head lies."
Latimer, when he beheld a faggot ready
kindled laid at Ridley's feet, exclaimed
"Be of good cheer, master Ridley, and play
the man; we shall this day light such a can
die in England, as I hope, by God's grace,
shall never be put out."
The author of Harvey's Meditations, when when on his sick bed, observed that his time had been too much occupied in reading the
historians, orators, and poets, of ancient and modern times, and that were he to renew his studies, he would devote his attentioa to the scriptures. The last words which the physician HalIer addressed to his medical attendant ex'pressed the calm serenity of his mind. "My friend," said he, laying his hand on his pulse, "the artery no longer beats." M. DeLa Harpe, one of the finest literary characters of the last century, who for many
years labored to spread the principles of the
French philosophy, but afterwards became
most strenuous defender of Christianity, on
the evening preceding his death, was visited by a friend. He was listening to the prayers
for the sick; as soon as they were concluded,
he stretched forth his hand and said "I am
grateful to divine mercy for having left me sufficient recollection to feel how consoling
those prayers are to the dying.1'
Cardinal WToIsey, when dying, by slow
progress and short journeys, reached Leicester Abbey. He was received with the greatest respect. His only observation was, "Father Abbot, I am come to lay my bones among you." He died three days after, with the greatest composure and fortitude. He said, shortly before his death, "Had I but served my God as diligently as I have served the king, he would not have forsaken me in my gray hairs; but this is the just reward I
must receive for my pains and study in not regarding my service to God, but only to my prlice."
Melanchton, a few days before his death, altho' much debilitated delivered his usual lecture. At the termination of it, he said impressively "lam a dying man, and these . i . . . -
are the subjects lor intercession with God, which Heave to my children and their little ones that they m3y form a part of his church, and woiship him aright that they may be one in him, and live in harmony with each other and that they may be fellow heirs of eternal life." The day before his death, he
addressed some present "God bestows tal
enlon our youth, do see that they use them
aright." While dying, his friends discerned
