The Parting Hour.
State of Illinois, with a view to his future
removal, and the founding of' a. Christian
colony.
It would lead us too far from our purpose
in penning this brief memoir of Mr. Pills
bury, to follow him in detail through all
his jouroeyings and explorations in the
West. Suffice it to say, that having spent
the Summer in examining different locali
ties, he returned to.ew-York in September,
and made a report of his observations to a
number of gentlemen, and. succeeded -in
organizing a company, with a capital of
some $40,000, to be 'invested in land, and
the founding of a noleny.„ The company
was called" The,,,New-York Association,"
and their objects are briefly set forth in the
prearable.to their• printed regulations, which
reads as follows : , ~ . ;
" We, the undersigned, having in view
the establishment of a colony for;

certainly the' oecielon 'of :giving to the in
fant Presbyterian Church in the West one :
of the noblest specimens ofi domestic mis
sionary and evangelist.
From the Spring of 18313 the labors of
Mr. Pillsbury as a missionary and an even;
gelist in the West, fairly set' in, and with,
untiring energy and devotion did headdress ;
himself to the great and good work to which'
the Lord had called him. The colony at
Andoier was at Writ weak, and, enjoyed but
a part of his, time and labors. Wethers
field, another colony which he was instru
mental in getting up, shared, next in his
prayers and Opel ministrations. But he
sowed; the good seed , of the Word over
wide region beside, enduring the hardships
and privations incident to newiettleinents,
and a scattered population.
Ile `was a man of indomitable courage
and perdeverance, bearing all Weathers, and
submitting cheerfully to the trials:and. pri

The hour, the hour, the parting hour
That takes from this dark world its power,
And lays at once the thorn and flower
. On the same witthering bier, my soul!
The hour that ends all earthly woes,
And gives the wearied soul repose;
How soft, how sweet, that last long close
Of mortal hope and fear, my soul!
How sweet, while on this broken lyre
The melodies of time expire,
To feel it strung with chords of fire,
To praise - the Immortal One, my soul!
Atad while our farewell tears we pour
To those we leave on Ghia cold ahore,
To feel that we shallweep no more,
Nor dwell alone In heaven, my soul
Row sivect, while waning fast'sway
The stars of this ditulroild decay,
To hail prophetic of the' day, '
The golden dawn arise, itiy . stit I
To feel we only sleep to rise
In sunnier lands and fairer - skies;
fin - hind again our broken ties
In * ever-living love, my soul!
The hour, the hour, so pure and claim,
That bathes the wounded soul in balm,
And round the pale brow twines the palm
That shuns this wintry clime, toy void I
The hour that draws e'er earth and all
Its briars and blooms the Mortal pall ;
How soft, how sweet that

by ruling elder Osborne, and adopted by

The character of Mr. Pillsbury, as a
man and a may be
4
briefly stated as composed of the following
elements :—Gravity, sincerity; meekness,
'
humility, patience, perseverance. Though
affable and cheerful in his intercourse-with
men, he appeared never to dose sightof the
dignity and sacredness of the office '.- . with
which he ; was invested. No duplicity or
fickleness'in his friendship ever mama the
peace of those whose confidence bel:iad '
won. He made no display .• of hilself,
either • in public or private ; for,,thc ' h die,
was, very communicative a, genial" a' /

to his righteous authority as such. From
our experience I deeply feel—although
never identified with Dissent or Voluntary

and mars; hinders and oppresses; tends 6'
dissension, pride, jealousies; and amid
much good—which good would be much
more potent and abundant if the Church of
England were disestablishe,d and broken
up—it produces all the evils which to the
