clergymen. We should think that at least half the
audience were ladies'. And 90 great was the crowd,
that there was not the slightest accommodation for
the reporters.
The services commenced by voluntary on the
organ. A brief and appropriate prayer was offered
by the Rev. Mr. Furness, who then read very long
selection from the sacred volume, which the ma
jority of the audience seemed TO think unnecessary,
and testified in no very equivocal manner, their
pleasure at its termination
The following anthem then sung in very
expressive and beautiful manner by the choir
81 heard voice from heaven saying unto me.
Write from henceforth blessed the dead that die
In the Lord from henceforth and forever they
Rest from their labor and their works follow them"
After this, followed a very long, and by no means
expressive, prayer by the Rev Mr. Farley, OF Brook
Ign. Then came the following hymn, written ex-
pressly for the occasion by w. G Bryant =
While yet the harvest fields are white
And few the toilng reapers stand
Called from his task before the night
We miss the mightiest of the band
oh, thou, of strong and yet gentle mind.
Thy thrilling voice shall plead no more
For TRUTH for freedom, and manknd
The lesson ofthy life is DER.
But thou, in brightness far above
The farest dream of human thought,
Before the seat OF Power and Love,
Art with the Truth that thou hast sought
This brought the exercises down to about a quar-
ter past eight o'clock an hour and quarter having
been thus consumed in the mere preliminary SER
vices, to the evident modification of the respecta
bic assemblage particularly the ladies, who seemed
DESTROYS TO hear nothing but the young and hand
some orator of the evening-the Rev. HenIy w.
Bellows. His discourse occupied hour and
half in the delivery II was on the whole rather
eloquent exposition of the life, PRINCIPLES, conduct,
and character of DR.. Claiming. Mr.. Bellows might,
think, have Judiciously omitted much of the t.
dlous repetition OF the leading and well known doc
trines which DR.. Charming preached relative to hui
nature its relations the Deity, human liberty,
and unbounded freedom of thought and action,
equality among all men, and the universal diffusion
of truth
Still, the discourse was not by any means nnwor-
thy of its noble theme, and was therefore highly
creditable TO Mr.. Bellows. 1t was listened to with
he most marked attention, and the orator stands
higher than ever in the opinion of the ladies'.
After the discourse, there appropriate
prayer by the Rev. Andrew Peabody, of Portsmouth,
and then the choir sung the following hymn =
"Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb.
Take this new treasure to thy trust,
And give these sacred relics room
To seek sumber in thy dust.
Nor pain, nor grief, nor anxious fear
Inv ade thy bounds mortal woes
Can reach the peaceful sleeper here,
While angels watch its soft repose.
So Jesus slept Gods dying Son
Passed through the grave, and blessed the bed
Then rest, dear saint, till from his throne
The morning break, and pierce the shade.
Break from his throne, illustrious morn
Attend, o, earth, his sovereign word
Restore tiny trust the gorio form
Shall then arise, to meet the Lord"
The whole closed with benediction.
We are unwilling to present mere outline of this
discourse, whilst our reporters have full and YER
batim report of it, But as the exercises did not
close until after 10 o'clock--the place of meeting
being two lies off, that they could not reach our
office much before ll-and our large edition rem
dering it imperative that we should go TO press as
soon after midnight possible, it was utterly inn
possible for them to write it out for the whole edi-
ton. five had given the whole of it at all in this
days paper, about half of our subscribers would
have had it, and the other half not We have there
fore thought it better to defer it till Sunday, when
we shall give full report of it.
