     summary: But, nevertheless, we hang this _misguided_ man by the neck, till he is dead. I have known this gentleman, for more than forty years; and have had occasion to observe some of the peculiarities of his character, in the relations of business, as well as in those of ordinary intercourse--I say the _peculiarities_ of his character, for he certainly must be classed in the category of _eccentric_ men.

     summary: In his latter days, he found himself unable, any longer, to bear up, under such a portentous superstructure, which really appeared to _overhang_, contrary to the statute, and he laid it aside. There is no such thing as getting hold of him--there he is, conservative as a tortoise, _unguibus retractis_.

     summary: ONE of the saddest, and certainly the simplest of royal funerals, was that of King Charles I. After his lamentable execution, his body lay at Whitehall from January 28, 1649, to the following February 7, when it was conveyed to Windsor, placed in the vault of St. George's Chapel, near the coffins of Henry VIII. When an illustrious person died in Greece, the ceremonies were on a most elaborate scale, and even accompanied by games, which lasted for many days.
