Ho preached for some timo in Lancaster, from which place ha removed to Flushing, L. I., and thence to Kow York, where lio bo came rector of the church of tho Holy Communion, a memorial church built by his sister. But his greatest work is .St. Luke's hospital, which lie projected and built, increasing a fund of i'M in l4i to ovor 82ll0,nuil in l.r)7,andsinco its completion he has piosidud over it as superintendent and cliuplnin, occu pyingasuito ol large, modestly furnish ed rooms in the iirst story, and wor shiped by all ollicers and patients. There ho was found on Thursday, a man of nearly 80 years, of medium height anil slender figure, with a long, strongly marked face, a firm squaru mouth, and a prominent hobo. His white hair escaied from thocontiiies of a small black velvet cap that ho always wears in his ixhuii, and his clothes were black, of clerical litshion. In manner ho was dignified and courteous, pro tcslant vchcmcneiitly, though, against any publication that might scorn to in dicate, that ho felt it necessary to do li ii.l his long-ostahlishcd claim to tho beautiful hymn, but filially furnishing as historical mutter tho following facts: "1 diil not write tho hymn," said he, "as it is now sung. It was longer, much longer, and was first published more than lilly years ago. 1 revised three or four yours ago, and published it through Wnittakcr A Co., with some reminiscences, which will give you all tho details you may want. According to tho notes referred to by Dr. Muh lenberg, the original hymn flint appear ed in the fyifctipal ltecordir, in 1 hilo- deliihia, in 1X24. 1 hnt it was written on an occasion of private grief is a fancy. In 1H20 the general convention of tin) Episcopal church apta-iintcd a committee to prcparo a collection of. hymns, to no milled to tho lllly-sije, then the whole number attached to the prayer hook. This measure wits in consequence of an awakened interest in hymnology, owing to nrtieles on "Church poetry," und "A plea for christian livnnis," addiessed to the nagnates of the church by Dr. Muhlen berg through the religious firess. Ho was chosen by tho convention as ono of the oonunitteo, and the fiev. Dr. 11. Oiiderilonk, tho rector of St. Ann's in Brooklyn, as another. Dr. Muhlen berg was further appointed on a sub committee to pass preliminary jtidg- mcnt upon all hymns submitted. Two years before he hail published in the Epuenpai Jwtiran tho lollowing poem, tho original form of the hymn : THE ORIGINAL HTUN.

This noom Dr. Ondenlonk abridged into a bymn of suitable length for church use, and submitted it to Dr. Muhlen hu eg for revision. In this way it was moulded into the form in which it is now known and sung in every Christian household of the hind, mid was then passed upon favorably by tbo siib-committoo having charge of the subject. There were no changes from tho sentiment of the original composi tion ; only four lines in the new difl'or limn tho original, anil these only in a lew wonls, as will bo seen hy compari son between tho two. As it is now printed in the church hymnal it reads : THE HYMN AS IT IS KV EllVWH KRE SI Nil.

Tho general committee did not meet until 1829, and then 1 ho members as sembled in tho house of Jiishop White, in 1'liilndeliiliia. the report of tbo sub committee was presented, and each of tho hymns was passed upon separately. lien tins ono cume up one ol the members said that it was very sweet and pretty, but rather sentimental, upon wtuch it was u naiiitnousl v thrown out. Dr. .Muhlenberg, who was not suspected as tho author, voted ugainst it himself. That ho thought wes the end of it, lor the committee agreed up on their report that nigbt and ad journed. ' Hut tho next morning Dr. wilder- donk, who hail not attended on the previous evening, called on Dr. Muh lenberg to inquire what had leen dono. t'non bcintr told that amotiL' Iho n jeeUid hymns was tbwone representing their joint labors, he said: "lhal will never do," and went about among the members of tlio committee, soliciting them to restore tbo hymn in their re port, which accordingly they did, so that to him is duo tho credit of giving it to the church at thut time. After these bits of history had been examined and notes bad boon taken, Dr. -M tihlenborg,who had been stretch ed on his lounge for a half hour or more, arose and said jocosely, but still in his quick, earnest manner : "I can not help thinking, allor reviewing these facts, that I wrote the hymn and that Mr. Ward did not, but I also feel very certain that I am sorry that I ever had anything to do with it, for it has given me a great deal or trouble during tho past fifty years, l'eople are wanting tho history of it and au thority for its genuineness, and it has been a burden, a great burden." "Doctor?' said tbo reporter"! notice that in Hcechor's Plymouth collection ine mornings inni uawn on nn, nere are termed 'lucid' instead of 'lurid.' Will you tell mo which is correct ?" " by 'lurid' is right of course," ro- pliod tho voncrablo poet quickly, "for that is tho way it appears in all ol my works." "Hut," added he with a sniilo, "perhaps this man Ward wrote their liymn lor them. Then ho pleasantly bado the reporter farewell. Dr. JMiihionbcrg has written many other hymns ; one of the most popular ol which is that opening with Bboatthe glad tldingo, exultingly alng, which he composed at tho particular rcnuost of Bishop Hobart.who wantd something that could bo sung to the tune of Avison, then popular to the wonls by Mooro, "Sound tlio loud tim brel." The bishop liked tho verses so well that ho had some struck off on looso sheets bufore tho hymns were puiiiisiicil, that thoy might bo sung in Trinity church on Christmas day, 1829. Hut of all tho poet's songs, tlio ono which the printer Ward wildly claimed is the ono which has found its way straightest to the popular heart, and which has become at once a mother's lullabysnd Rcluirch'santhem. In 1H71, in his seventy-sixth .year, Dr. Muhlen berg ovangelisod tho poem of his J'oul h, hy replacing tbo phrase exhibiting tbo sentimentality of younger days by the moro sober and orthodox expression, of ago, publishing tho work through VY Hitlaker Co. lor tho benefit ot ono of his numerous charities. Ho prefneos this latest edition of the verses with an aiiologctio fnblo, in men the hymn personilled protests nirainst the change. "I'.vnngelir.o me ! quoth tho hvmn.

ITS interior and internal resources. - The island of Newfoundland, whose area is four limes that of llelginni. and which contni nal3,000 moro square miles than Scotland, is to most men qtuto a terra incoqnila. It is generally known that a peculiar brood of dogs oomes from thoro, and some persons uavo an indefinite idea of its cod and seal utisi. nose: otherwise information is very limited, and but dim notions exist as to its geography and natural resource. It seems a remarkable fact that al though it was tho earliest discovered land in America, and has ever since been the resort of thousands of fisher men, it was only as recently as 1825 that tho first roads woro mode from St. Johns, the capital, to the outlying settlements. We had supposed until now that the universal Ignorance- that prevailed as to its interior capacities ana topography was duo to tue apathy of its people ; that its lack of develop ment arose from lack ot enterprise ; that the adjacent waters offered such inducements of gain that no one would go island in search of mineral or for purposes ol cultivation. Ullen nave wo reasoned that a utile Yankee enter prise was all that is needed to fructify the waste places and make tho wilder ness to bloom and blossom as the rose. Alas I for human vanity and human fallibility I Tho mystery is all made clear now, and the great problem of the terra incognita is solved. I he truth is that the interior of Newfoundland is naught but a vast plutonio waste, w hero no vegetation exists and whero no roads can run. Its mineral wealth of coprcr, nickel, lead, Iron and ochres, is great, it is said, and certain to be developed at no distant day ; but with the exception of a belt of land four or five miles wide that encirlces tbo island and bonier?, tho sea, a belt covered with a fair irrowth of snrucc. nine. juniper, fir, and witch-hazel, all else is desolation and barrenness, ao Indi ans live in the interior, nor is thero a house north of Uonavesta Capo, any where to be found after one passes a couple of miles inland from tho shore. All tho land is rocky and rolling, great waves succeeding waves of granite, with bogs and marshes interspersed, which afford a living to reindeer, foxes, wolves, bears, otters, beavers, martini, and musk ruts, and lorm tho sources of rivers that flow In all directions. Each one of these rivers abounds in salmon which can be caught with tho fly, though it is believed tbnt angler never tossed fly to them, and nearly nil thoso rivers, it seems, are indicated ia Hallork's "Fishing Tourist." Thoy are rapid, dashing streams, flowing with impetuous current, up which no boat can push its way : but in their contracted channels tbo Indians spear largo quantities ol salmon. These aro about all tho facts that can be told of the interior of JSewound- land, and we gather them from no less an authority than M ichael Carroll, Esq., for fifty years a resident of tho country, and fK only man who has written a correct account of tho interior of the country. It was ho who surveyed tho route lor the overland tologrnph wires, and in the course of bis explorations traversed tuo island athwart and across. It is believed that his surveying party is tho only ono that has ever explored tho interior. Of tbe other industrial resources of the island thoro is a moro flattering account. , Mr. Carroll has furnished us with the following statistics: The population of Newfoundland is 175,000, out of which number 35,000 are fisher men. The average catch ot fish each yoar is 1,250,000 quintals (112 pounds to the quintal), and the yield olcndoil throe quarters of an imperial gallon for each quintal. Tho French send out 12,000 fishermen every spring to prosecuto cod fishing on tho banks of Newfoundland. All the fishing vessels ariivo at St. Peters before commencing the fishing trips. Tho resident popu lation ol fet. rotors is about d,000. The French fishermen return, after their fishing voyago, to Franco about 1st of October. Tho French also pros ecute their cod fishing on tbo north and west parts of the island from Cape John to Cape Ray. Nu French aro al lowed to rosido on that part ol tho island ol Newfoundland known as tho French shore. This spring of 1874 twenty-five large Btcamships and 214 sailing vessels intend prosecuting tho seal fishing business, and their crews will number no less than 12,000 men. The average catch will be about 550, 000 old and young seals, and tho value of tho seal oil and skins may bo esti mated at JUtiilU.OUO.

And whilo I was waiting tor an oirportutiity to signalize myself in its behalf, directions were privately sent to me from the then colony, now Htata, of Connecticut to raise the Ureon Mountain lioys, and, if possible, with them to surprise and take tbe fortress of Tioondoroga. . This uterpne I cheerfully undertook, and, alter first guarding all the several passes that led thither, to cut off all intelligonce be- twocu the garrison and the country, I made a forced march to Bennington, and arrived at the lake opposite Ticon deroga on tho evening of the 9th of M ay, 17i0, with z.W valiant Ureen -Moun tain Boys. It was with the utmost difficulty that I secured boats to cross the lake. However, I landed eighty three men near tho garrison ami sent the boats back for the rear guard, com manded by Col. Seth Warner. But tho day began to dawn, and I found myself under necessity to attack the fort before tho rear guard could cross the lake, and, as it was v lowed hazard ous, I harangued the ofllccrs and men as follows : "Fmr.Kirn exn Fi.low Rolpikm !

I ordered them to face the right, aud, at tho head of tho centre file marched them immediately to tho wicket gate aforesaid, where I found a sentry posted who instantly snapped his fusee at inc. I ran immediately toward him and ho retreated through tho covered way to tho parade within the garrison, gave a halloo and ran un der a bomb proof. My party, who fol lowed mo into tho lort, 1 lormotl in such a manner as to face the two bar racks which faced each other. The garrison being asleep, except tho sen tries, wo gave three bunas which greatly surprised them. One of the sentries mndo n pass at one of my olli cers with a charged bayonet and slight ly wounded him. Aly first thought was to kill him with my sword, but in an instant I altered tbo design and fury of the blow to a slight cut on the sideof the head, npon which ho dropped his (run and asked anartor. which I readily granted him, and demanded of him the place where tho commanding ofilcor kept. Ho showed mo a pair of stain in wo ironi oi a barrack-, on iho west part ol the garrison, which led up a second story in said barrack, to which I immodiadely repaired and ordered tho commander, Captain Do La Place, to come forth instantly or 1 would sac rifice tho whole garrison, at which Do La Placo came immediately to the door with his breeches in his hand, when I ordered him to deliver mo the fort instantly. Ho asked mo by what authority 1 demanded it- I answered him, "in thenamoof the great Jehovah and the Continental Congress." Tho authority of Congress being very little known at that time, he began to spook again. 1 interrupted him, and with my drawn swonl over his head, again ileniandod an immediate surrender of tho garrison, with which he then com plied, and ordered his men to be forth with paraded without arms, as he had given up the garrison, in tho mean time some ol my officers had given orders, and in consequence thereof sundry ol tho barrack doors were beat down and about ono-third of tho garri son imprisoned, which consisted ot said commander, a Lieutenant Fcltham, a conductor of artillery, a gunner, two sergeants and forty-four rank and file, besides ono tliirtoen-mch mortar and a number of swivels.
