EZRA PIERCE.

Ezra Pierce, after q painful illness of several months. passed away at his late home. He leaves to mourn his loss devoted wife, an only brother, c. E. Pierce, and wife, their family oi two sons and three daughters, He will also be missed by a large circle of friends as he was a man of very so- cial nature and very much attached to his native town. He was born in South Britain, December 4, lS42. He was member of the Legislature in 1872 and was chosen by his townsmen to other offices of trust and responsibility, all of which have been filled to their full approval. We thank the kind friends who sent the beautiful flowers, tokens of friendship which we prize. These lines seem appropriate: Over the river they beacon to me Loved ones who've crossed to the fur
 ther side; [ The gleam of their snowy robes l see, But their voices are drowned by the flashing tide. And none return from those quiet shores,
 Who cross with the boatmen cold and
 pale; We hear the dip of the golden oar, And catch gleam of the snowy sail, And lo! they have passed from the
 yearning heart, f They cross the stream and are gone
 for aye; @ We may not sunder the veil apart That hides from our vision the gates
 of day; @ We only know that their barQues no
 more. May sail with ours o'er life's stormy
 sea;
 Yet somehwere l know, on the unseen
 shore,
 They watch and beckon and wait for
 me.
 And sit and think when the sunset
 gold
 Is flushing river, and hill, and shore l shall one day stand by the water cold, And list for the sound of the boatmen's
 oar;
 I shall watch for gleam of the flap
 ping sail;
 I shall hear the boat as it gains the F strand;
 I shall pass from sight with the boat
 man pale
 To the better shore of the spirit-land. I shall know the loved who have gone
 before, And joyfully sweet will the meeting be, When over the river, the peaceful riv-
 CT,
 The angel of Death shall carry me.

When I came to Manchester from Edinburgh, l knew from the moment l saw the committee who met me al the cars, by the way they looked, what was on their mind; for 1 had received some intimation from the papers that there was storm brewing; and wher these gentlemen, after driving to the hotel, asked to see me few moments before retiring. l sad: If you mear this row in the streets, do not givt yourselves any concern, l am ready fol | it. We despatched the little matter o1 business in less than five minutes. prepared the next day a formal pro. gram of my speech; and l never shall forget my ride with the two or three gentlemen that accompanied me to the hall at the hour appointed for the lec- ture. It was raining little and l re, member the shadowy look that every thing had as passed down the streets
 recollect saying to myself "I am going to know not what" and l call to mine the prayer that silently went up iron my heart all the way. It was simply this: that might be witness for thai which should please God, without re
 gard to men, and especially without regard to myself. It was not what we sometimes experience,-a perception of what is right and struggle to sci at it. I was in the feeling already
 and it was out of the experience that prayed for more of it. l Twas willing to be nothing for the sake of Christ
 and my reputation was nothing at al
 to me. <. I said: If the enemies of Goo are to triumph over me, and put mt to shame here to night, it will be per fectly right. am willing it should bt so, if it be the will of God. In such condition of spirits, I went into tha
 great Free Trade Hall, which hold' SOOOpeople; and, next to that in Liver pool the audience here as the mos
 difficult to manage of all addressed
 and that being my first public speecl in England, it was the most critica period. I saw at once there was team to be driven there such that l
 would not do for the coachman to b' asleep on the box. and then 1 had il borne upon me that in my lecture hat better not undertake to follow thu course 1 had proposed so laid dow my notes and struck out another plal and extemporized the whole speech for I had two things to do all the time The unfolding of the subject was sec ondary. I had to control the audienc
