BEAUTIFUL EPIGRAM.

The family motto on Dr. Doddridge’s coat of arms, was “Dum vivimus, vivamus,” the literal translation of which is, “While we live let us live.” The direction thus given was beautifully versified by the Doctor in the following lines:—
“Live while you live,” the epicure would say, “And seize the pleasures of the present day,” “Live while you live,” the sacred preacher cries, “And give to God each moment as it flies.” Lord, in my view let both united be, I live in pleasure when I live to thee.
