Net Cost, but Gene Before: This ie e very common expression, and yet id) true source hair been almost wholly overlooked. It has figured an an epitaph upon gravestonen, and bat) been utilised by the poets and other writers. No doubt everybody is acquainted .with it, and it may therefore be worth while to point out where it in all probability comes from. The writer of an interestmg article in a recent number of the. Baser gives•fratious. instences of its occurrence, and eitholudee Ete follows "The thought its indeed'n Christian thought, but the words are etlie' writ& of a pagau. It was the kola Seneca who Paid; *Not loist, but gone before ;' Non anittuntur, sed prse- ntittusatur." No reference to any place in Seneett DJ given, and it may fairly be ques- tioned whether that author meth die aotual words seedbed to him. There is In hie 86th Epistlea remarkable sentence in. whioh we reads "Death. which we dread and ehun interrupts life., dine not take it away; the day will come again which shall restore us to 'the light, and whicia many would shuns -- unless it • brought back thoee who are .forgotten." The meaning of this is nut that of the Christian, aud nothing etee in Seneca, , so far as we inn disoov,er, can b compared with the phrase under consideration. But Cyprian, the martyr, who wrote in'thethird century, supplies us with something very definite. ,In his diacourso " On Mortality," ,Oypiiiin epeeists in • thin Ian. guRe: "Our brethren ehould Ilet be • bewailed when by the summons of the Lord ▪ they are delivered from this'. world; for I know that they are not lost but sent before ( non eos antitti, tied preetnitti), that when they retire they precede (or,go before)sio that they ought to be longed a/ter lie those who go 0818 journey or a voyage, and not lamented." He adds what might serve. as a_snatittolor the Funerals-Rstorm Association, that black garments ohould not be put on here when they already put on white robes there." It will be seen at agleam) that out common saying ie almost an exact render- ing of the worde of Cyprian, and to him we ehould not habitat° to iseinibe the enteritis. mien.
