Tor-Mohun.

_A Punning Divine._--Wanted the whereabouts of the following sentence,

which is said to be taken from a volume of sermons published during the

reign of James I.:

"This _dial_ shows that we must _die all_; yet notwithstanding, _all

houses_ are turned into _ale houses_; our _cares_ into _cates_; our

_paradise_ into a _pair o' dice_; _matrimony_ into a _matter of money_,

and _marriage_ into a _merry age_; our _divines_ have become _dry

vines_; it was not so in the days of _Noah_,--O no!"
