It is possible to aay two much, even when makingaspeech on the most solemn occasion : and a clergyman m the States has supplied a somewhat amusing example on the fact. With the view of comforting the mourners around a grave, he spoke of the joys of Heaven : — " Iv that blissful abode sorrow and sighing flee away ; there are no pains there ; no diseases there ; no death there ; uo funerals there ; no undertakers there !" This shutting the door of Heaven m the face of what is not only a useful but necessary class is said to have, visibly affected the undertaker present. " Man," said Victor Hugo, %t was the conundrum of the eighteenth century ; women is the conundrum of the nineteenth century."
