mittcd to approach. Three individuals
have appeared among US who have had
no superiorsamong mcnW ashington
as commander, a patriot and man;
Marshall as an impartial and upright
Judge; and White as teacher Of the
gospel and an immaculate head of the
Church Cd III e-'wtasa almost the sole re-
naming link that connected the pres
ent generation with the eventful peri
DDS OF the past. During the period of
his indisposition, his well known door
was the scene Of incessant inquiries af-
ter Ills health, and sincehis decease the
extent OF the sympathy Of all classes is
Ievinced as they pass his domicil. Sc
veral Of the clergy called upon him yes
terday as they proceeded to church,
he inquired kindly of their health; and
before their dutiesof the morning were
over, he was no more. No struggle
marked his departure--hc died as he
had lived, in calm and meek reliance
upon his Savior. The following ex-
quisite picture from the Gdipus of Lee,
applies with slight variation in the first
linz, to the deceased.
''Of no distemper, Of no blast he died,
HIT fell like autumn fruit that melow'd long;
II ZEN wondered at because he dropped no sooner.
Fate seemed to wind him up for four score years !;
Yet freshly ran he OH nine winters more;
I'LL, like clock worn out with eating time,
The wheels ofweary lie al last stood still.''

BISHOP. WHITE.

49, = 49, y
We neglected to record, at the proper time
the death of this venerable and distinguished
preffate: He was one Of the best and great es
men Of the age; and his death leaves void il
the Church and the community, which may ne.
VERDE filled. The following tribute to his me.
.mory and biographical sketch, is from the Phi.
ladelphia National Gazette. The writer has
not done more than justice to the lamented sub.
ject Of his eulogy:
The life Of bishop White will, un-
.doubtedly, be written by some one
qualified to appreciate and portray his
many virtues; it is for US only to say
that the duties of the several important
relations in which he stood to society
were performed with undertaking cor
rectness and suavity; he possessed the
rare merits of winning the respect and
love of the entire community to which
he was an ornament and blessing
His piety was deep and unfeigncd; his
walking humble, yet dignified; his &C.
quirements profound; in his mind the
welfare of the Christian Church was
always the predominant consideration.
The description of Cowper's preacher
might well have been applied to him:
