The Last Hours Of Comm odOre
Maury.

A correspondent of the Albany Eve
ming Journal 2 furnishes to that journal
"a letter from one who was with Com
n1odore Maury in his last hours, and who
testi1ies In a. tender and interesting
manner to the happy death of that great
man. We quote:
The last two days of Mathew Ell. Maui
ry'slife were grand-acomplete triumph.
In perfect possession of his faculties to
the last. / wish all the world could
have een that death, it was such a
around his dying bed, and after the
Inst one. Friday evening-it was " Christ
is risen The put out his hands ana said,
slowly and DISTINCTLY ssThe peace of
God which passetl al understanding
be with you alI-aIl.n He blessed every
one separately, and prayed ever us fer
yenblY, and IN most beautiful language.
He said he would be ina moribund con-
dition for several days. Twice Friday
we were all summoned he would look
around, and If all were not In the range
of his sight he would call out the names
of those whom he missed. Gazing ear
nestly into the face of each, he said
something appropriate and afectionate,
always winding up with aYou see how

tain my senses to the end. God has
granted ME that as a token OF my ac-
ceptancc. have set my house in or
der, Ny pfayefsh have all been answered.
My children are gathered around NV
bed, and now, Lord, what walt f0rY"
He then repeated Il prayer OF eleven pc
titions, which he wanted each of mis-
children and grandchildren to use
every day, He had composed it for
himself almostfOrty yearsag0, the night
after Ilis leg was broken, and he had re-
peat0d HI every night since, not missing
one and then he prayed:
" oh Lord, touch my. lips with hal
lowed fire, like Isaialsa of old, that I
may testify to Thy love and mercy to
ms, who am but a little child in all save
wickedness.v He requested that when
the physicians pronounced him dying
sle should be informed OF Ii. As tile
supreme hour drew near, he turned to
his son and asked him lib the language
0f the ruling passion, Dol 6 to
drag my anchors z. The answer, z they
are sure and s~teadfast,p gave him great
comforts Just before he expired, he
said distinctly " Lord, receive my soHl,i'
and lifting up both hands toward Heay-
en-, like a child that wants to be taken
up calling on the name of his Father.
SOI ne passed away at twenty minutes
to one o'clock Saturday morning. He
left d request that his funeral should
not take place until the Spring.
