LORD RUSSEL.

When my Lord Russel was on the scaffold, and preparing to be beheaded,

he took his watch out of his pocket and gave it to Dr. Burnet, who

assisted his devotions, with this observation: "My time-piece may be of

service to you: I have no further occasion for it. My thoughts are fixed

on eternity."
