Recollections cf Old Newtown.
THE REV. RICHARD yARICK DEY.


 This cole rated preacher and orator, then in the fitness of his fame, visited NewtOWn upon invitation of some of it's most prominent citizens, and in the old Congregational cht r h he deive d one of the most impressive sermoTe that had ever been listened to in that ancient ed flee. His I sonce attracted an un isu- ally large audicnce, which was held spell-bOund by the magic of his oratori- cal display. He chose for his text on this occasion three simple yo9ls from the eleventh chapter of St. JOiln-" Be- lievcth thou this ?" This he would bring in during his discourse, as he brought sentence to close with such an information of voice, and differ ing emphasis, as to startle and in pr 'ss his hearers with his marvellous power to create effect. His voice was music itself; so clear and fiut9-Iike that every Torl he uttered told upon the ear like a strain of the rich est melody.
 In the cOuse of his sermon he com pared the unrepemtant sinner to a pc sol struggling for life in deep ates b,yo q the reach of human ai he descrI eI in the most graphic manner the "bub- bling" of the waters which were just clOsirg in upon him (as in vorteXl, from which there was no possible es- cape; when lifting up his arms at full length, and throwing back his head, he exclaimed in tone of anguish, that seemed the cry of dispairing soul
 Lost! lost! forever!" There might h ve been sCma in the audience who came to scof, but they were subdued t. the "melting mood" long before he dis missed them with his benedietion.
 The following afternoon the writer accompanied him in his gig to Wood bury. T le weather was S ormy, and we did not reach the hO' el i'll that village u ltil after dark He was near-sjchte 1, and drove himself, nearly up5ettiDg the vehicle several mes in the course of our journey. Here delce ion of oi zer were waiting for him. with an invl- tation to preach for them that eyeIing, which he readily consented to do. So after VIC had partaken of supper, ii com pany with an elder brother of mine, we set out for the church. Iher ain was pouring down in torrents, while the darkness was like that of Egypt ill Pha- raoh's time. We, however, lcceeded in reaching the nee ing-hou. without accident, where the officials were on hand to receive us. Leaving us in the vestibule to select our own seats, Mir. Dey walked directly up the aisle to the pulpit, and taking from his oYercoat pocket a sm, Il psalm book l e gave out the hymn, req ing two or three verses from it (eiidently to give Lis audielte time 10 find it n their own books. He prefaced it py sayirg in an impressive manner, which can never forget, "Let us sing to the praise and glory of God the twe1ty-eighth hymn H-or whatever it might be. He read poetry beautiful- ly, and in that respect none of the cler- gy at that time with the exception of Dr. Hawks) could be compared with him; and he Or. Hawks1 did not pos sess that clear and bell-like voice which so captivated every one who heard Mr. Dey.-Well, as I have said, he gave out the hymn; but there WAS no choir pres ent to sing it, nor vas there any one ill
