CromEeII's Dying Hours.
At the royal palace Of Whitehall, on
the 81 of September. 1868. a man lay
dying. Eight days before he felt 50
confident OF life that he told his wife
not TO think he should die, as he felt
sure Of the contrary. Now he was
speechless. sinking: and the last thing
about which he had seriously troubled
himself was a curious. metaphysical one.
TEL me, " he said 10 Sterry. a minister
who stood by him, ''is il possible to fall
from grace = 1t is not possible" said
the minister. Then" exclaimed the
dying man, Il am safe; for | know that
! was once in grace" And then he
prayed, Lord. though a miserable and
wgetched creature, l am in covenant with
thee through thy grace, and may and
will come to thee for thy people. Thou
hast made me a mean instrument to do
them some good and thee service. Many
of them set too high a value upon me,
though others would be glad Of my
death. Lord, however thou dispOsest Of
me, continue and 90 on 10 do good for
them. Teach those who look too much
upon thy instruments. to depend more
upon thysclf, and pardon such as desire
to trample upon the dust a poor worm,
for they are thy people, too" The at
tentiOn Of ali England was riyeted on
the sick room at Whitehall. with keen
and sincere interest. From the lips of
many went forth earnest prayers that
God would be pleased to spare the in
yaIid's life: in the hearts of many there
were fears and misgIvings as 10 what
would come IN the event Of that prayer
being rejected: in other hearts there
were joy and cXultatiOn over the death
Of a sinner; while in others, that should
have been kindly disposed, there was
certain sort of assurance that there IS
something in the misfortunes of our
greatest friends which is not displeasing
to Us. \ frightful wind-storm ragged,
roofing up trees in the park, and tearing
off the roofs Of houses i'm London The
friends of the dying argued that God
was giving warming Of his intention 20
take himself the great soul of the suf-
fercr: his enemies argued that 1the
princes of the powers Of the air were
holding fearful reyels amid, the storm
driven clouds in honor of the prospects
of selling on a great offenders soul.
The dying man was Oliver Cromwell,
Lord Protector Of England and ireland.
the man who for ten had years governed
the kingdom in a right kingly way, and
made it stronger and more respected By.
all foreign powers than it had been since
the days of Henry Y. and Agincourt.
1t was the third Of September, the day
Cromwell was wont to call his fortunate
day. On a third Of September he over
came the Scots army al Dunbar, when,
looking at the position Of bis army in
military point Of view, be was commit
ted to certain destruction at their hands
on third Of September lie had fought
the battle of Worcester, ..the Lords
crowning mercy to him, as he called it,
when the Royalist cause was lost IN
England. so long as Cromwell could
move a regiment or man a ship. In this
last sense surely the third of September
was still Cromwells fortunate day, for
if ever a man was weary of life and
anxious to be quiet of the cares OF
Cromwell must have been that man.
