DEATH OF THE POET MONTGOMERY.

The name of James Montgomery has been q
household word in all the dwellings Of Chris
tendon for more than half a century. His
high poetic talents were even surpassed by his
devotional spirit, and by the feryor and CON-
prehensiveness of his philanthropy. All his
writings were pervaded with warm and noble
spirit OF piety, and of interest in the present and
future welfare of mankind. lie is one OF the
few writers of whom we think it might with
truth be said, that he penned no line which,
dying, he would wish TO blot. Many OF his
sweet and admirable hymns will with those
of Watts, Steele, and Wesley, continue to kndlc
the holy devoti0ns of the churches OF every
name while the world shall stand He was n
generous friend of liberty, and his poems in be-
half of the African race, like those Of Cowper
and Campbell, were among the most powerful
means OF srousing the people OF England 10 a
sense Of the horrors OF the slave trade, and dis
posing them to the great work OF West indian
emancipation. Wccopy the following sentences
from tho New York Tribune
Montgomery was born on the 4th OF No
vember, III, and consequently had just COM
pleted the unusual allotment of four score years
On his eightieth birthday, the 4th OF the
present month, he planted an oak tree on the
lawn in front of the ln6rmary OF Sheffield in
which town he had resided from early life.
Descended from parents who were attached to
the Moravian faith, he received his education
at a school belonging to that persuasion, and
never lost the impressions which were then
made ON his susceptible mind. His parents in
tended him TO enter the ministry among the

any of our readers can regret that Mrs. Stowe
has no chapter in this weeks Era. 1t is not
our fault, for up to this hour we have nothing

We have also to ask the forbearance of those
whose patience is apt to be wearied with long
articles. The proceedings of Congress are
deeply interesting, and we felt it eur duty to
give up much space to some Of the best speeches
of our friends in the Senate. Then comes the
long speech of KoSsuth at the great Banquet

An attempt at change was lately made.
