Il SHEPHERD ASTRAY.
A We1l-known Clergyman Elopes witt,
Young Lady OF his Congregation.


Another evidence of the social depravity of
New York city has come to light. Last week
a prominent clergyman of Gotham-the Rev.
William Cooke, Of West Seventh street Methoi
dist church-eloped with q young lady member
Of his cor ryregation, and the pair have left for
parts unknown. This minister Of the gospel
and teacher of piety to the people left behind
him wife and several children. The New
York World of Monday says Of the missing
pair: =
It is believed they left the country. The
evening before their departure he packed hiS
trunk, after his family had retired, supposing
the good man of the house was preparing his
sermon for Sunday. He quietly took his trunk
out Of the front door and had 1t conveyed
somewhere, to await his arrival the following
night. Friday evening he remained ont quite
late, aud at midnight, as he had not returned,
his wife became apprehensiye Of his welfare.
At about this time the mother Of the young
lady, who had not returned, also heard of her
pastors absence, and that fact, taken in con-.
nection with the fact that for some time past
he has been quite attentive to her daughter,
forced upon her mind the unpleasant belief
that the missing parties had left in each others
company.
Further revelations made the Uncertain con-
lectures veritable tact. Saturday everything
was quietly kept from all ears. But yesterday
the flock gathered in their church without
their shepherd. The bishop of the diocese
took the pulpit and announced the mysterious
disappearance To no one. A preteLce was
made for the absence, which satisfied the par
ishioners.
The clergyman is well known in this city,
and his genial and courtly manners have
made him numerous friends. He Is q fine
looking man of thirty years of age, tall, and
possessed ofa maglsterlal dignity which makes
him distingue. The lady Is quite pretty, and
belongs to highly respectable and wealthy
family. Her mother had prudently intimated
to her that the attentions Of the minister were
more than strictly pastoral duty called for:
but the young lady needed not. She once told
her mother that the pastor was quite fatter-
ing in his remarks to her, but that anything
harmful would grow out Of it was not consid-
cred. nor did 1t enter into their minds to COM
prchend. The clergyman has q wife and TIVE
children, whom he professed to love devoted
ly, and his actions did not belle his profes.
slons. Never has his name been associated
with anything that could blemish. Bis friends
can dwell on that only as fond memory
now. His wife is in great grlef, and thinks
that he must be temporarily insane, and that
1t is not the development Of an evil heart.
