The Last win Gnd IestGmenf Of alfred
BishOp.-The New Haven Journal says. Mr..
Bishop had neglected, like many others, to
dispose of his estate BY win until within lew
hours Of his decease. While thus in bodily
agony, looking death in the face, the vigOr and
clearness of intellect and the calmness and
good judgment with which he disposed Of an
estate valued about one million of dollars, is
without parallel. He gave literally to his
near relations as well as to others, who had
been unfortunate in business. These donations
ranged from $4,000 down to few hundreds.
Eight thousand dollars to the American BIZ
bla Society, Eve thousand to the Female Be-
nevOlent Society Of Bridgeport, and an annui-
ty OF 800 to be paid by his widow during her
life to Rev. DR.. Hewitt.
After thus disposing of specific legacies to a
large amount, he provided, that in case they
exceeded One4ourth OF his estate, they should
be reduced proportionally. The residue Of his
estate he gave to his wife and children. to be
divided according to the 1tatute of Connecticut
Though Mr.. Bishop was a seltmade man,
and had encountered many severe losses in bu-
siness transactions, his rallying energies were
indomitable. and when Providence smiled his
liberality and benevoience were unbounded.
Yet his last was the browning act Of all. We
shall rarely see his equal again.

On the Death of Mrs. G. A. Bisse1z.
The Saviour wept DER Lazarus grave,
And you, my friends, now mourn
Ger her whose life We could not save,
But from your midst was borne.
Her husbands love, her infants wall,
Her parents anxious care,
And tears oil friends, could aught avail,
For death was reveling there.
Too soon the summons cane, alas
Nor youth nor love could save:
She hath cr0ss'd the stream we all must pass

Kind angels heckoned her away,
Smiles lit her radiant brow
With ransomed hosts, who mourn'd her stay,
She dwels in glory now
So may her sorrowing kindred find,
Through Chris., their living Head,
A calm and heavenly peace OF mind,
Though nature mourns the dead.
