ONE LINK GONE.

Take the pillows from the cradle
Where the little sufferer lay;
Draw the curtains, close the shutters,
Shut out every beam Of day.
Spread the pail upon the table
Place the lifeless body there;
Back from of the marble features
Lay the auburn curls with care.
With its little blue-veined fingers
Crossed upon its sinless breast,
Free from care and pain and anguish,
Let the infant cherub rest.
Smooth its little shroud about it;
Pick its toys from off the floor;
They, with all their sparkling beauty,
Ne r can charm their owner more.
Take the little shoes and stockings
From the doting mothers sight;
Pattering feet no more will need them,
Walking in the fields of light.
Parents, faint and worn with watching
Through the long, dark night of grief
Dry your tears and sooth your signing
Gain respite of relief.
Mother, care is no more needed
To allay the rising moan;
And though you. perchance, may leave II

Bishop Kingsley-ROmd the World.

Many of the readers of the &C HRoNICLE
will pleasantly call to mind Bishop Kings
ley at the simple mention OF his name.
Three years ago this fall, he presided over
the Conference held in Knoxville. He was
an able preacher, and many will remem-
Der to their dying day, some Of the touch
ing passages OF the sermon which lie
preached in Knoxville.
He first distinguished himself as Pro-
fessor in Allegheny College. Afterwards
he serTcd as editor of the Western Christian
AdUOcdts at Cincinnati, Ohio, for eight
years. In May 1864, he was elected one of
the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church by the General Conference in Phil
adelphia He acquired by long experience,
great ease and facility in the use of the
pen, and excelled both as a careful observ-
er, profound thinker, and an interesting
writer AS q letter writer he had no supe-
rior in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
About year ago he set out on an Epis-
copal tour round the world He set his
face to the west, and crossed the plains and
the mountains, taking Colorado, Ne
braska, Nevada Oregon and California in
his journey. Thence he sailed to China,
landing and stopping awhile at Japan.
Having penetrated far into the celestial
empire, he left and went to India and pre-
sided over the Conference in that renown-
ed part of Asia. He pressed on TO Egypt,
the land of the ancient Pharaohs, and from
the Pyramids and the Nile he visited Pal
estine, Damascus, and had reached Beirout,
in Syria, whence he was 10 sail for Europe.
Here he was stricken by death, and ended
his earthly labOTs.
In his Episcopal voyages he wrote many
letters, descriptive of persons, places, eli
mate, productions and the state and pros
poets of our church in those places All
these letters are very interesting-full of
graphic delineatiOns and descriptions, and
Astounding with fresh information. They
were the most readable and interesting
letters that have appeared In the papers
for "a long time. These letters, at the re-
quest of his many friends, have just been
published by Hitchcock d Walden. Gin
cinnati, Ohio in two beautiful small duo
decmo volumes Two dollars and fifty
cents sent 20 Hitchcock q Walden, Cincn-
natl, will secure them TO Doe sent by mail L
be sent by mail to any who may desire
them. The first volume cOnsins a brieI
biography of our lamentel early fallen
Bishop. A life-like portrait engraving o.
the Bishop Is found in the first volume
The writer OF these letters describes
things as they are, and as he saw them
To most readers they will be more inter
esting than a novel
