    a sacrifice to his humanity i He appears to have been an amiable and interesting youth , possessing all those qualities which endear the child to the parental heart . In 1818 , he graduated at Brown University , Providence , Rhode Island , and subsequently at Nassau College , New Jersey . At both of these literary institutions his talents and attainments ensured to him

    academical distinction . Having entered the navy of the United States ^ he was acting under Commodore Porter , the object of whose commission was , with his squadron , to scour the seas of those pirates by which they had been long infested . A favourite with his superior officers , he would have risen to eminence

    iu the service of his beloved country * But these flattering prospects have been terminated by a premature dissolution . Mysterious Ruler—so it hath seemed good in thy sight ! His excellent parents , and three sorrowing sisters , whose loss is Irreparable , have drunk too deeply into the

    spirit of the glorious gospel of the blessed God , upt to bow submissively to the will of heaven . In the eye of Christian faith , and beneath the beamings of Christian hope , these distressing bereavements are " only so much taken from the enjoyment of time to enrich the prospect of eternity /" J .

    November 7 , at Bury , Lancashire , in the 83 rd year of his age , Mr . Abram Wood , ironmonger , of this place . He was the son of a respectable farmer , a truly conscientious and pious man , and Was born at Stubbins , about four miles distant . In the early part of his life Mr .

    than he had ; or could more easily and thoroughly see into the real character and- intentions of men . He was distinguished for a love of order , and executed any little mechanical work , of which he was very fond , with peculiar neatness

    He had an exquisite- relish for poetry , and was no mean judge of painting ; and had he applied his attention to it , it is believed , by some who were acquainted with him , that he would have been no mean proficient in this charming art . This opinion is formed from a portrait of

    the Musical Coal Man , which he executed during his residence in the metropolis . As a tradesman , Mr . Wood ' s punctuality , prudence and industry were exemplary ; which , together with the urbanity of his manners , and his cheerful accommodating temper , rendered him very successful , in

    social intercourse he was a delightful companion ; the life of every friendly circle in which he appeared . He had a rich fund of anecdotes , which he used to relate with great propriety and charm ; sometimes with the mast pertinent effect ; he often benefited while he pleased , " and

    laughing could instruct . " He was also , though peculiarly unpretending in his religious professions , a sincere and pious Christian ; whilst he lived in London , he attended upon the ministrations of the Rev . Francis Spilsbury and the Rev . Hugh Farmer . For their memory he ever

    retained the utmost reverence , and used often to express his thankfulness to Providence , which had so disposed his lot , as to permit him to enjoy the ministry of two such men ; from which he had , as

    was very evident through all his succeeding life , derived the most important and lasting benefit . He was also a frequent , if not quite a regular , attendant on the evening lectures of the Rev . Dr . Fordvce , at Moukwell Street . While at Sheffield

    he attended at the Upper Chapel , upon the valuable ministerial services of the Rev . Messrs . Evans and Dickeuson , * a Mr .
