Sudden Death-Sudden Glory.

Three eminently good ministers in
England, Mr.. Hall, father of the cele.
brated Robert Hall, Mr.. Evans, and Mr..
Christian, attended ministers meeting
at Sutton, Leicestershire. After day of
interesting services they passed the even
ing together in social fellowship. Among
other subjects of profitable conversation
one of them proposed the passage in Job
tx, %: eff the scourge slay suddenly,
he will laugh at the trial of the innocent"
When it came to Mr.. Christians turn to
give his views he spoke with unusual
feeling. He regarded the passage as re-
ferring to the sudden death of the right
eous, and was dwelling largely on the de-
sirableness of such an event, and the
happy surprise with which it would be
attended, when, amid food of'rapturous
tears, he was seen to falter, and while
the words we're passing from his lips he
expired, and that "happy surprise was
his own experience.
Edmeston, the poet, availed himself Of
the profound impression produced by the
event to write the following beautiful
lines:
Which is the happiest death to die?
"O," said one, "if might choose,
Long at the gates of bliss would lie,
And feast my spirit ere it fly,
With bright celestial views.
Mine were lingering death without pain;
A death which all might love to see,
And mark how bright and sweet would be
The victory 1 should gain!
s'Fain would catch hymn of love
From the angel harps that ring above,
And sing it as my parting breath
Quivered and expired in death;
So that those on earth might hear
The harp notes of another sphere.
And mark, when nature faints and dies,
What springs of heavenly life arise;
And gather, from the death they view,
ray of hope to light them through
When they shall be departing too"
"No," said another, $50 not I
Sudden as thought is the death would die
l would suddenly lay my shackles by;
Nor bear single glance at parting,
Nor see tear of sorrow starting,
Nor hear the quivering lips that bless me,
Nor feel the hands of love that press me,
Nor the frame with mortal terror shaking,
Nor the heart where love soft bands are breaking.
$50 would die
All bliss without pang to cloud it;
All joy without pain to shroud it;
Not slain, but caught up, as it were,
TO meet my Saviour IN the. .ai-t---------------
. how bright were the realms of light
Bursting at once upon my sightl
Even 80 long to go
Those parting hours, how sad and slow!
His voice grew faint, and fixed his eye,
AS if gazing on visions of ecstacy;
The hue of his cheeks and lips decayed
Around his mouth a sweet smile played.
They looked-he was dead
His spirit had fed,
Painless and swift as his own desire
His soul undressed, from her mortal vest,
Had stepped into her car of heavenly fire,
And proved how bright
Were the realms Of light
Bursting at once upon the sight.

W TIE Rev. srEPnEN II. TYNe, JR.---
A friend, who takes exceptions to the stric-
lures we published, condemning the proce.
dure and trial of Rev. Mr.. Tying, for an al
legged violation Of the canons of the Epis-
copal church, in preaching in Methodist
meeting house, sends us the following ex-
tract from New York paper, to show what
can bd said on the other side of the question,
as we'll as some comments of the secular
press, censuring Mr.. Tyng's conduct. In re-
ply, we can only say that two wrongs never
make right, and that, in our opinion, the
exercise of such extreme and intolerant mea-
sures cannot be justified in any country where
civil and religions liberty is the pride and
blessing Of the people. The following is
the extract:
"Tbe Rev. Loren Stiles was stationed at
Albion. He was one OF the most devoted
and popular preachers in Western New
York. On week day evening he preached
in the Presbyterian church in Holley, viii
lage some ten miles distant. There was no
other Methodist meeting at any time within
three miles of the place. But the Methodist
preacher at Hulberton had few members
residing at Holley He therefore obtained
an order from the Rev. A. d. WILDER forbid
ding Mr.. Stiles to preach in Holley. Mr..
Stiles paid no attention to the prohibition,
but continued to preach as he had done be-
fore. For this, and for allowing Mr.. Roberts
to exhort one evening short time in one
of his meetings, he was brought to trial at
the next session of the Conference. These
were all the offences proved against him.
Yet he was not merely repriinanded, but the
highest penalty known to ecclesiastical law
was inflicted upon him. He aoaS depoSed
from tho ministry and accommodated from
tho Church! Yet the law of the Methodist
Church was entirely in Mr.. Stiles's favor. 1t
reads as follows -
"You have nothing to do but to save
souls; therefore spend and be spent in this
work; and go always not only to those
that want you, but to those that want you
most. Observe it is not your business only
'to preach so many times, and to take care of
this or that society, but to save as many as
you can, and to bring as many sinners as
you can to repentance, and with all your
power to build them up in that holiness
without which they cannot see the Lord"
In this case the Methodist papers had no.
thing to say. Would it not bo we'll to pull
the beam from theiI own eye before being
so very Jealous in plucking the mote fiom
a brothers eye7

eY' OPENING OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
CAMPAIGN.-Under this head, in large capi
tails, our neighbor of the Democrat has ar
illustrated column Of democratic arguments
made up of roosters, spread eagle and flag
headed with such choice epithets, "Impeach'
ment of the Infamous Impeschers," "7Hdd'
Steoens soith his acench," "Butler ioih has
spoons" closing with this benediction,
"Thdnk God for continued rictory to the de-
.fe,iers Of Liberty, the Union and Const'tu-
ton" At first glance, we supposed that
Andrew johnson had, by some hocus pocus,
escaped from the 'infamous Impeachers,"
and hence the rejoicing of the Democrat over
tho escape of one whom that paper denoun-
ced, several years since, as the greatest villain
unhung. But then Andrew was radical
and Union man, and went even further than
Tbad Stevens, threatening the rebels not
only with confiscation, but with the halter.
But since Andrew has pardoned several
hundred Southern counterfeiters, forgers,
whskey swindlers and other criminals, he
has found favor in the eyes of Copperhead
Journals, who have a strange idea that
charity, whiskey and Office cover multi
tude Of sins, and have therefore adopted An.
drew as one of the saints in their political
calendar. But the great marvel is the very
small capital required to get up column
of bluster and rejoicing in our neighbor's
paper. The editor forgcts that his party
is now not only under o cloud, but in
hopeless minority, "witbout rudder, sails
or principles" and that even very large
gains can never resuscitate it. Whatever
little vitality was left in it, after the
war, has been squeehed cut by its contact
and unnatural assimilation with Johnsonism
aud the rebels.
