THOMAS STARR KING.

PARTICULARS OF HIS LAST HOURS.
The San Francisco Bulletin, of March 5, gives
the following particulars of the last hours of Rev.
T. Starr King;
For two or three months before his death it
was evident that he was not so well as usual,
and he had frequently spoken of the necessity of
giving up all literary labor He thought it
would be impossible for him to endure another
year of work, and they were already agitating
the question of who should fill his pulpit while
he took years respite from labor in travel. 1t
may not be unworthy of mention, in this con-
nection that Mr.. King always had strong and
strange presentiment that he should not live be-
yond the age of forty, and one of his friends in

would not at thy parting breathe sigh;
would not shed tear upon thy tomb.
Why sorrow over those who never die?
Why bid the sainted spirit pass in gloom?
And it's a joy to know, while losing here
The brave, the true, the generous ana the 1ond
Each brilliant orb that leaves our darkened sphere
Gives added lustre to the life beyond.
Thine was q heart confiding generous, brave,
Where childhOOds faith with manhoOdS V1gOr blent.
Thy soul with all its treasures freely gave,
AS If to bless the earth twere only lent.
The painters eyes, the poets tongue, were thine,
The burning eloquence that thrills the soul;
And God the power had given still more divine,
To hold DER these dominion and control!
Truth of thy planting, nurtured by thy TOLL
OF growth luXuriant early promise gave,
And deeply rooted in the virgin SOIL
strengthened each hour the tempests wrath to brave
Nor shall the tree that thou hast planted die,
Or need thy fostering care when thou ART gone,
But broadly grow and t.. Yer to the sky,
Though the fond hand hat nursed 1t is W1thCraWn
The task assigned thee thou hast finished well
And now retiring at the close of day,
While friendship tolls for thee the funeral Knel,
Gods smiling angels cheer thee on thy way.

this city now has a letter written by him some
four years since, giving his reasons 1or this be-
lief 1t is curious too, that just before his SICK
ness he had dream, which he narrated to
friend at the time remarlxing that it made more
impression on him than he cared to confess. In
his dream he thought he was shaving himself,
and the razor slipping, gashed his throat. Phys
icians who were called, told him he could not
live ten minutes. He argued the case with
then-holding the edges of the wound together
with his hand-telling them that neither the
windpipe nor any of the arteries were severed,
and that he could recover if they would only
stop the bleeding. They said it was useless,
however, and that he must prepare to die. The
dream was probably induced by the pain which
had already begun to settle in his throat.
About two weeks before his death he first COM
planned of not feeling well, and trouble
with his throat. His friends urged him to be
more careful and not expose himself to the air;
but he thought it was only ordinary case of
sore throat, and declined to confine himself or
call in the aid of physician until Friday last.
In the evening he had his regular reception, and
between ten and eleven o'clock went down to
social gathering at the church, though still suf-
fering. On Saturday evening he had invited
number of friends to supper, but when evening
came, he was uIdU1o W appear dO UdOl0' w Ii1lO
supper was going on, however, bridal party
came to be married. Mr.. King had received no
previous intimation of such visit, and sent down
asking to be excused, saying tqat he was con-
fined to his bed. The party replied that they
had set their hearts on being married by Mr..
King, and would come up to his bedside sooner
than be defeated in their desire. With that spir-
it of self-sacrfce for which he was so remarka-
BILE, he then said he would get up and go down
into the parlor He did so, and went through
the ceremony, but though it was performed in a
very few minutes, he was so weak at its conclu-
sion that he had to be assisted up to his room.
On Sunday morning his congregation were
alarmed by the announcement that he was UNI
able to preach The attending physician pro-
| nounced it serious case of diptheria, and said
he should have been called at least a week SOON
er-it had been too long neglected. The disease
gained strength, and the patients prostitution in
creased. On Wednesday, however, the COM
| plant seemed under medical control, but so
Frustrated was the patient that for two days it
had been difficult to keep up his vital energies.
Yesterday he visited by an attack OF pneu-
monia, and experienced great difficulty OF res
piration. AT six O'Clock last evening the attack
was very severe, and DR.. Eckle feared that 1t
might prove fatal but the patient possessed
wonderful recuperative power, and seemed to re-
! vive, passing a very comfortable night. 1t was
g. popularity of Mr.. King that he possessed

remarkable degree of vitality, and that notwith-
standing his feeble frame, he would stand vast
deal of fatigue, being sustained by the sheer
force of indomitable will. 1t was remarkable,
also, that his constitution yielded to medical
treatment with remarkable ease a half grain of
quinine producing more effect on him than two
grains would on an ordinary man SO sensitive
and delicate was his physical organization that
he could drink neither coffee nor strong tea.
consultation of physicians yesterday had pro-
nounced the disease checked, though they feared
his system might not be able to recover from its
prostration. During last night light stimulants
were administered to him to keep up the vital
force and he seemed to be getting along remark
ably well until about half-past five o'clock in the
morning, when a second attack of pneumonia
set in-the doctor having previously stated that
he feared his patient could not survive another
attack.
This second attack was not more violent than
the first, but the patients strength expen-
ded that there was little nothing for medicine
to build upon. When taken with the first attack
Mr.. King had remarked to some one standing by
ct know what this is-it is a severe attack OF
pneumonia" When the second occurred he said
to the doctor" What is this? Is this pneumo-
MIA, too?'' The doctor replied that it was. Mr..
King then asked" Can I survive it?' The
doctor told him no; he thought he could not
" How long can liver" he asked. "Not half
an hour" Are you sure cannot live longer
than that p The doctor told him he feared that
he could not. Friends then asked him if he had
any thing to say. He replied" Yes, great
deal to say; L want first to make my will.''-
Up to this time, for two or three days, he had
not been able to speak above whisper; but
responding to the power of his will, his voice
now resumed it's old power and tone, and he
| spoke nearly as loud as ever.
A friend sat by his bedside, and he dictated
the will. 1T was read to him afterward, and he
assented to it's correctness by saying all right
at the end of each paragraph, exclaiming at the
close: g 1t is just want it," He then hesita-
ted moment, and dictated an important cor
rection. A pen was given him, and he signed it
in a handwriting firm and bold as he ever
wrote in his life, even punctuating the abbrevia
ton of his name, and putting accustomed
flourish beneath the signature Then came the
sad task of bidding his friends who were present
good-by. One by one they came up to his bed
side; in every instance he greeted them with o
cheerful smile, as though he only going on a
journey of a day Or two, grasping their hands,
and saying, in that sweet, pleasant voice of his,
&c Good-by." A'
Some asked him how he felt, he said
