pital springs the curved spire or pointed roof, shingled with broad lanceshaped leaves. The angles of the spire have bold, staff-like ribs clinging to and sweeping up their curved lines; and these again have leafy creepers, clasping them at intervals, over the undulations of which the pleased eye glances upward to the cross, which is in itself a creation of architectural beauty "worthy of all praise." The order of the services at the inauguration of the monument, at Mount Auburn, Wednesday, P.M. Sept. 30th, 1846, was-1. Prayer, Rev. Mr. Gray. 2. Hymn. 3. Selections from Scripture, Rev. Mr. Waterson. 4. Addresses. 5. Hymn. 6. Prayer and benediction, Rev. Dr. Parkman. H. B. Rogers, Esq. chairman of the committee, made a very appropriate address, and was followed by Dr. Gannett, in a few remarks which met the occasion, came from the heart, and reached the hearts of all who heard them.-A box of lead, hermetically sealed, was deposited between the plinth and the die, containing a copy of Dr. Channing's Memoir of Dr. Tuckerman, and the last Report of the Warren Street Chapel. OBITUARY. DIED-On 4th of Sept. Daniel Curell, Esq. of Ballygarvey, aged 55 years. It is impossible, in a short obituary notice, to do justice to the character of this estimable man, for he was one of the ornaments of human nature. His sterling integrity, his singularly kind and benevolent heart, the extreme simplicity and urbanity of his manners, his generous hospitality, and the unceasing anxiety which he always manifested for the welfare of those who were employed under him, had endeared him to all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. Indeed, his loss in the neighbourhood will be long felt. In religion he was a firm and conscientious Unitarian, and most regular was he in his attendance at his place of worship; and in his removal the Remonstrant congregation of Ballymena has lost one of its worthiest members. Mr. C. was entirely free from bigotry, dogmatism, and intolerance he willingly conceded to others that liberty of thought which he claimed for himself. Indeed, he viewed this as the inalienable right of every man; and in judging of personal worth he was never guided by the creed which was professed, but by the moral character. He said with his Divine Lord and Master, "By their fruits ye shall know them.” As might be expected, such rare excellence had won for him golden opinions. In his case we had a striking illustration of the great truth, that love to our brethren of mankind, and a desire to promote their happiness, are the best means of securing the regard and esteem of the world; and it must have been gratifying to his mourning relatives to find that his remains were followed to the grave by an unusually large number of people, of all denominations.
