LAST HOURS OF JUDGE LoNGsTREET.-A
correspondent of the st. Louis Adrocate refers
to the last hours of the venerable Judge Long
street-whose death has been recently chroni-
cled in the following language:
For week previous to his decease, he had
been suffering from.a severe attack of chills,
but after the first two or three days had rallied
so far as to sit up, to read, and to write. Late
on Wednesday evening, the 9th Of July, he
had declared his intention of sitting up through
the whole of the next day; but early in the
morning he was seized by chill which rapidly
developed into Pneumonia, and thcnceforward
he sank rapidly.
His last hours were remarkable, even for
those of true Christian. TO within two days
of his death, and while prostrated by disease
his aged and trembling hands were eagerly
writing on work of a religious character, to
which the last part of his life had been devo-
ted An ineffable peace settled around him.
ouieting even the grieved souls about his bed
side. All the numberless moments of his lifc
which had been consecrated by his remarkable,
unhesitating trust in God, seemed to gather
from the by-gone years, drawing around him in
the trying hour of death to sustain and brighten
him and his. When questioned respecting his
spiritual condition, raising his hand, he replied,
"There is not cloud" So unshaken was this
repose that he watched the approach of death
with the curious interest of one making a new
and important chemical analysis, rather than
with the tremulous apprehension of one about
to enter the unknown and awful hereafter.
The parting of the soul and the body was an
event which he had long anticipated, and which
for years he had made the topic of his daily
conversation. When the time came, with q
wonderful lucid mind, he gave the closest scru.
tiny to the loosing of every tie which united
the two ; and it is very doubtful whether any
the rationale of death than that of Judge
Loncstreet. With his own fingers he counted
the the falling pulse When he could no longer
move his hand he made one of his attendants
place it on his wrist, and, looking around on
the loved ones he was leaving, he quietly ex-
claimed, almost gone" At o'clock, in the
afternoon, and without pain, he expired, with
the light of glorious smile playing over his
face
