DEATH OP THEODORE PARSER.

The following is an extract from a private letter
to Prefeiwor Newman. dated Inareses, May 11. 1860 :

I have sad news to oommanicata. Oar dear nailerisfi
friend, Theodore Parker, died yesterday evening. Yet there
never wee an easier end to a if, but lately full of vigour.
I rw him about thins hours before he died, lying tartly,
while life was ebbing away unmasciously to himself. He left
writteu directions for his funeral, limiting to live persona the
attending him to the pave, of whom lam one. Malty Aasri•
cans here are expressing their wish to appear as mourners;
but it is thought right to abide by his instructions. He de-
sired the eleven first verses of the Sermon on the Mount (the
blessings of Jesus) to be read over his grave ; and then a plain
grey roue, with his mins sad age and nothing farther of in-
scription. Mr. Cunningham, a Boston Unitarian minister,
will read the passage. He is a sincere friend and admirer
of Parker's. We hope to get a cast taken of Mr. Parker to•
day. Mrs. Parker, his poor gentle wife, has hitherto borne
up well. Mir Stevenson, who has so long resided with
them, was also with ►im to the last. She thinks, from the
peculiar tenderness of his manner yesterday, that be knew
he was dying. He had been dreamy for sodas dap, and
talked ramblingly of two Theodore Parker, sae ham and
use planted in Boron, who would finish his works whops
a true thought, only mystically expressed. Amara, ►is last
well-ounnected words were these —" Of course you know
I am out afraid to die, though I wished to live and Amish
much work which I longed to do. I had great powers com-
mitted to me, ►nd I have but half used them."

Since writing this, I have seen him lying, 0 so peacefully!
I hays never seen death under a form so devoid of terror.
The hectic colour immense on his cheek, and it is hard to
persuade oneself he has paned away. He reused to breathe
without the least straggle.
