OLIVER (Francois, Chancellor of France), 1497-1560. "_O Cardinal! thou wilt make us all to be damned_," to Cardinal Lorrain under whom he had condemned to death many innocent men for their faith. He fell sick through remorse, and in his delirium charged Cardinal Lorrain with bringing down upon him the wrath of God. ORANGE (William, Prince of, called "William the Silent," founder of the Dutch Republic), 1533-1584. "_I do_," in response to his sister's question, "Dost thou commend thy soul to Jesus Christ?" William staggered and fell into the arms of an equerry. All crowded round. "I am wounded," said William in a feeble voice.... "God have mercy on me and on my poor people!" He was all covered with blood. His sister, Catherine of Schwartzburg, asked, "Dost thou commend thy soul to Jesus Christ?" He answered, in a whisper, "I do." It was his last word. They placed him on one of the steps and spoke to him, but he was no longer conscious. They then bore him into a room near by, where he died.--_De Amicis: "Holland."_ The assassin was put to death by the Dutch, but his parents were ennobled and richly rewarded by Philip II. of Spain.

William Payne; ... and on that person calling on him to inform him of the circumstances, on the morning of the day he died, he exclaimed with uplifted hands, and eyes looking upward, "_I am glad to hear it; but, O brother Payne! the long-wished-for day is come at last, in which I shall see that glory in another manner than I have ever done, or was capable of doing, in this world._" _From Quotation in Allibone._ PAINE (Thomas, author of "Common Sense," "The Rights of Man" and "The Age of Reason"), 1737-1809.
