We believe the following has never

it is too good to be lost.

Legislative bodies for ten years | have

gravely urged upon this assembly the
propriety of giving to one class of our

allowed to the other classes. Ifhis propo-

at the expense oithe others, and those thus

THE LATE DIR MASON-OF NEW-YORK.
II There are very few Who recognise in
great men, principal part of their coun-
try's greatness, who have not associated
the late Rev. DIR. John Mason of New
York with ehe worthless of the constella-
ton which ps already lightened up ou,
land. For a long series of years he
held the mose conspicuous place among
the preachers of the United States, and
few men have ever had a more cnviable
distinction throughout protestant Chris
tendon. Those who heard him preach
the unsearchable riches of Christ, remem-
Der his voice, his attitude, his language,
and the solemn thought which filled his
laboring mind, and those who never had
the privilege can form no adequate idea
of his powers. The following remarks
are from the pen of the accomplished
scholar and able Divine who has sue
ceeded the venerable Diocesan of this
state in his parochial labors at Bristol
They are extracted from his interesting
work, "Thoughts on the African and
Anglo American Churches''-a book full
of interesting and pious information-
speaking of DIR. Mason, Mr.. Bristed
adds-"During 6 years | sat under the
Ministry ofthe Rev. DIR. Mason and it
is but justice to say of this profound di-
vine and powerful polemic, that while
the terdays ofhis intellectual strength,
continued to shine in all their unclouded
splendor, l never heard greater pre- ach-
er: and yet l have listened to some of
the most eminent men in the English
Church including the mighty Horsley
himself.
AS an expositor of the sacred volume
l never heard Mason's equal and his
single sermons upon detached texts were
when he was fully reused to a requisite
pitch of mental exertion, surpassed by
none that ! ever heard or read-like all
extempore preachers his pulpit sermons
varied in mental power and value ac-
cording to the degree of preparation, the
state of health, the temperature of the
spirits, the standard of excitement
But even in his most ordinary efforts,
his unprsmeditaded effusions, the thews
and snews, the bones and dimensions of
a gaint were visible "disjecti men,
bra gigantis." He was completely mas
ter of his own Theological system
that of full blooded Calvanism, in the
warfare of which both offensive and de-
fensive he, proved himself a pointed and
powerful writer"
