Last Moments Of Rev. Dudley A. Tying.

Last Moments Of Rev. Dudley A. Tying.
The shadow which the death of the Rev.
Dudley a. Tying has thrown over this com.
munity seems to have deepened from the
honr OF its first announcement. Stricken
down in tie vtry field flower Of his manhood,
when to oil appearances Of his usefulness was
daily widening, and under circumstances SO
painful, the cilcc, has been like marvellous
dspensation of Providence.
AT the ondly meetings for public wor-
ship-wth which Mr.. Tyng's presence was
peculiarly identified prior to the fatal accident
his death has become the absorbing theme
The closing scenes of his life, as described by
one OF lis brethren in the ministry ut the
Jayne's Hall meeting yesterday, was most
thrilling narrative, and seemed to move every
heart present In'!eeda the minister, who was
an eye witness TO the scene-procceded with
his simple statement of the last words ad-
dressed by the dying man to those around
him, all eyes were sutfused with tears, and an
uniformed stranger, entering the room, might
have thought himself in vast congregation
OF mourncrS.
From the time Of the fatal accident to one
hour previous to his death, Mr.. Tying had an
unfalteiing confidence in his recovery, and
even conversed freely and hopefully upon
what, as he believed, Providence had design
ed to teach him in the dispensation to which
he was being subjected. He believed it was
intended to promote his greater efficiency as
minister OF tic gospel, and lie looked fol-
ward with bright hope when he should again
be able to preach, and to preach as lie had
never done before. About one hour before
his dissolution, his family, fearing that his
hopes OF recovery were groundess, approach
cd hm With the solemn intimation that in all
probability lie was soon to leave them. His
physician entering the chamber at the instant,
Mr.. Tying spoke 10 him of these fears. The
doctors reply was that they were only too
true-that his lime was fast drawing to a
close. The dying man, with the same heroic
spirit which never forsook him through all his
suilerings, received the solemn announcement
with the utmost resignation, answering only,
'Tbcn, it is well--it is very we'll Gods will
be DONE
After Il lew moments of composure, he
called bis friends present and the members
Of his family t. his bedside, to bid them
last faiewell lie thanked his physician, who
is not Il profess ne Christian, for his kind at
tention, warning him with great tenderness
to lose 10 time i'll giving himself to that Saw
iour WHO was Row sustaini z him in that
hour OF trial To each OF his children he
gave an alt;-ctionate farewell, hoping that, by
the grace Of God and the care OF Il devoted
mother. they Mi4ht be early brought 'to
know tn II Saviour" To his wife, who has
ministercd to lin with SO much affection and
fidelity I'll through his Illness he included in
bis parting words the request That she would
use her cndravors to bring their bows up to
ministry. lie was now to say farewell TO his
venerable father, the Rev. Stephen II. Tying,
ID. ID. Taking lis aged parent by the hand,
he said, with much carnestness, '.StdM up for
JESUS iather s'dnd up for Jesus : and tell
my brethren in the ministry, wherever you
meet them, to stand up for Jesus r

believe, more blissful realms.
At the meeting in Jayne's Hall on Tues
| day, Il very singular fact was referred to in
connection with Mr.. Tyng's recent sermon
| in that hal to an immense audience, from
the text of Scripture, "Ye hat are men go
aa,d scrce the Lo.d" Toward the close of his
| eloquent discourse on that occasion, lie ask

his congregation, bnt adding, al must tell my
Masters errand, and would rather that this
right arm (i,lacing his left hand upon it where
it has since been ;sinputa.cd) were amputated
at the trunk, than that should come short
of my duty to you in delivering Gods mes

Tying and the cor,liality with which he fratcr,

HIS funeral will taac place this aItcrnoon.-
