The Late Rev. stephen HubbelI.

The Late Rev. stephen Hubbell.
 The death of the late Rev. Stephen Hub bell, who died in this city a few days ago, recalls an interesting literary event. In 1853 8 volume of 349 pages appeared from the publishing house of John P. Jewett & Co.,, Boston, entitled, ''The Shady Side, or Life in Country Parsonage. By 8 Pastors Wife, It was dedicated ''To my husband, fellow pilgrim in path similar to that herein faint Iy sketched, ,-darksome, yet illumined and briehtening more only as heavens nearer light falls upon it,-who, not stunning for himself it's roughness, has ever smoothed the way for these tender feet, nobly bearing more than his half it's burdens, this simple narrative, strongly suggestive of our mutual trials, and fewer yet far more exceeding joys, is affectionately and gratefully inscribed The writer was the highly cultured and gifted sister of Rev. Dr. A. l.. Stone of San Francis co, and the husband was Rev. Stephen Hub bell then just settled in North Stonington. The book created quite sensation in parish circles. It was so beautifully written and so real go true to life, that locally it was as generally and eagerly read as "uncle Toms Cabin" She was of an extremely delicate, sensitive nature that could not well endure the roupher scenes of country parish life, and he man of positive convictions and conscientious in the performance of duty Tn the fear of God not of man. With the whole history in view, there is given tender and pa- thetic interest to the closing sentiment of Shady Side;" ''Thsy shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat: For the lamb who is in the midst of the throne, shall feed them, and shall lead them into living fountains of water, and God shall Wlpe aH tears from their eyes.
 'sThe precious clay is placed, temporarily, in the vault by Edwards side; while Mabel confides to the orphan boy her purpose, that both the parents shall yet sleep together under the blue sky, by little Willie's side, in the dear church yard at 0lney."
