BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. 
 
 " The Rev. Dudley Atkins Tyng was descended on both sides from 
 a race distinguished for its primitive and sturdy independence and 
 integrity of character. lie was horn in Prince George's county, Mary- 
 land, on the 12th of January, 1825. His father, the Rev. Stephen 
 Higginson Tyng, D.D., at present the beloved Rector of St. George's, 
 New York, is the son of the late Dudley A. Tyng, long known as the 
 Reporter of Decisions of the Supreme Court of this State, and the first 
 Collector of the port of Newburyport, under the administration of Wash- 
 ington. The latter married a daughter of the late Stephen Higginson, 
 thus connecting the subject of this notice with families resident and well 
 known in our own city. The mother of the deceased was a daughter of 
 that noble 'man of God/ the late Alexander Viets Griswold, D.D., so long 
 distinguished, honored, and loved as the Bishop of the Eastern Diocese, 
 and afterward, on the division of the Diocese, of that of Massachusetts. 
 An ancestry combining such marked qualities of mind and heart in the 
 individual cases, is seldom found among family antecedents ; and tn the 
 character of the lamented deceased, there was exhibited a very decided and 
 happy union of the most valued qualities thus illustrating his Uncage." 
 
 So spoke the Boston Courier, of April 29th, in an article acknow- 
 ledged, by Mr. Tyng's father, as "beautifully prepared" and "highly 
 satisfactory." With this introduction, I proceed to the following record, 
 as sufficient for a sketch in such a position as this; referring those who 
 wish fuller information to the "Memorial," published in Philadelphia, 
 and "The Child of Prayer," written by Dr. Tyng, and issued by Mr. 
 Randolph, 683, Broadway, New York. 
 
 In 1829, when Dudley was four years old, the family removed to 
 Philadelphia, where his father became Rector of St. Paul's. 
 
 In 1832, he lost his mother — " the dearest thing on earth, as bright a 
 liodit as ever shone in the habitation of man, whose wonderful moral 
 beauty and mental greatness seem to a great degree to have been repro- 
 duced in her son." 
 
 In 1834, by the transfer of his father, he first became connected with 
 the Church of the Epiphany. 
 
 In 1839, he entered the University of Pennsylvania. 
 
 In 1841, he was converted, confirmed, and welcomed "to the Table of 
 the Lord." 
 s 
 
n i '> *. i: v !• ii i . u *m r< ii. 
 
 In 1843, be "was graduated with distinguished honor." 
 
 In the msae \ tar. ht went t>> tin- Theological Seminary, near Al>\ 
 <lria, Virginia. 
 
 In 1846, •■he ma ordained by Bishop Meade, in Alexandria," and 
 
 " immediately became assistant" to his father in .V-w \ ->rk. whither the 
 latter " had removed in 1845." 
 
 In l v !7. "he was inrited to Trinity Chnrch, Columbna, Ohio, when be 
 passed two \i;n>. and received bis second ordination from Bishop 
 
 Mcllvaine." 
 
 In 1 s i'.». he restored to Charlestown, Jefferson county, Virginia. 
 
 In 1852, he remored to Cincinnati, Ohio, a> Rector of Christ Church. 
 
 In l >.">-!. he remored t" Philadelphia, and became B I the Chi 
 
 of the Epiphany — renewing, in a higher form, the oonnectioo of his 
 childhood. 
 
 In gned Ibia charge: a new body was formed, called " T 
 
 Church of the Covenant," — •"and he was their minister from the I 
 • mber, 1856, to the time of his departure." 
 
 During the last few months of his life, he was particularly active and 
 .1 in the Union MuTDlOB, at Jayne's Hall and elsewhere, chart 
 and promotive of the OllAT Kt:vivw. In the very height and 
 happiness of this spiritual co-operation, tidings earns from his country 
 home to the city, that he had suddenly met severe bodily harm. His 
 right arm had been caught and crushed in an agricultural machine. 
 This was on Tuesday, April 13th, 1>5S. On Saturday the arm wai 
 amputated. On Monday he died. On Thur.-day the funeral-service-' 
 eelebrated at Concert Hall; and were distinguished by the partici- 
 pation of ministers <<f different denominations. — Episcopal, I're-liyterian, 
 . and Baptist; by the profound and weeping sympathy of 
 a most crowded auditory: and by the concurrent solemnity and tender- 
 ness of multitudes without, unable to gain admittance and yet unwilling 
 to leave the precincts hallowed by such an occasion. The remains were 
 removed, for the Bight, to St. Paul's Church, in charge of a committee 
 appointed by the Vestry of the Church of the Covenant: and, the nc\: 
 day nreyed to South Bergen, New Jersey, where they were " com- 
 mitted to the dust." 
 
 Seldom, if ever, has a more general and decided impn --ion been made 
 by the death of any young minister of the gospel than wai made by thai 
 of Dudley A. Tyng. Numberless publications hare de s cr ibed bis noble 
 
 character, his brare example, his useful influence: and now his D 
 and fame are part of the common and precious treasure of the Church of 
 all lain!- and a] K. M. 
 
Then shall be said the APOSTLES' CREED, hy the Minister and 
 
 the Feople — Standing: 
 
 BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven 
 and earth : 
 
 And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; Who was con- 
 ceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary; Suffered 
 under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried; He 
 descended into Hell, The third day he rose from the dead; 
 He ascended into Heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of 
 God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to 
 judge the quick and the dead. 
 
 I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Catholic Church, 
 The Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The 
 Resurre&ion of the body; And the Life everlasting. Amen.

 " One stormy night in winter, about a year ago, when the snow covered 
 the ground to a considerable depth, he started to go to his home. The 
 marks of the roads were obliterated. He stopped upon his way and

 a covenant God, alone can know the peaceful repose with which I looked 
 upon that dear face — which had never met me but with the sweetest 
 tenderness of filial affection; on which I never saw a single frown, or a 
 single mark of rebellious temper; which, for years, had been the manly 
 index of a brother's heart, beaming with clear intelligence of tho things of 
 God, as* well as the herald of a tender, loving child ; which in every rela- 
 tion had been the joy and pride of my heart — now marked with the seal 
 of death, — and was able to say, with Abraham, in my poor degree, ' Lord, 
 here I am — be it unto me according to thy word.' " — " And though he was 
 ' the breath of my nostrils, the anointed of the Lord,' under whose shadow 
 I had hoped to pass my weary age, and to be gathered to my tomb under 
 his tender and faithful ministrations, while he should fill after me the 
 important posts of duty to which the Lord has been pleased to call me, 
 and maintain my testimony after I had gone, I have nothing to say : 
 ' Good is the word of the Lord that he hath spoken.' ' Bless the Lord, my 
 soul ! and all that is within me, bless his holy name.' " — Rev. Dr. S. II. Tyng.

 Of universal joy, — 
 The chime of worlds and chant of tongues, —

 From ancient tribes withdrew his grace, 
 How soon the erring myriads strove 
 
 With phantom forms to fill his place !

 All homes within, all waysides near, 
 
 The hallow'd idols senseless stood, 
 
 The helpless suppliants bow'd with fear. 
 
 With gods for every foot of land 
 And every pulse of passing time, 
 
 In life no soothing peace they found, 
 In death, no heavenly hope sublime.

 One God — our common Sire and Lord,

 The theme of praise to every tongue.

 Can truth divine fulfilment fail ? 
 
 Sooner shall star-crown'd nature die ! 
 Truth is the very breath of God — 
 
 Part of His own eternity ! 
 
 Earth's every pulse may cease to flow, 
 And every voice be heard no more ; 
 
 The forest crumble on the mount — 
 The sea corrupt upon the shore ; 
 
 The moon's supply of light expire, 
 The sun itself grow dense with gloom, 
 
 And fairer systems, sphered afar, 
 Dissolving, own the common doom. 
 
 But long as stands Jehovah's throne, 
 Long as His being shall endure ; 
 
 So long the truth His lips proclaim 
 Remains inviolably sure.

 Soft with bloom-sprinkled growth of fadeless green.

 Rich, with its fulness of remotest stars ;

 But all the golden urns that bless the eye 
 With streaming lustre, leave the spirit dark.

 No plume enchants the dawn ; and not a tone 
 Charms the bland quiet of the sunset air. 
 The prophets long have fail'd to lift their voice, 
 Seal'd in the silence of forgotten tombs ; 
 The once-rejected Son is now enthroned ; 
 Inspired apostles walk the world no more ; 
 No more the Spirit, in the inward ear 
 Of souls that burn with rapture, breathes its fire — 
 Quick thoughts in living language; silent, all

 Though violated all on earth beside.

 Take — read — and think. But hold with reverent hand ; 
 Regard with reverent ere : with reverent mind, 
 Receive its truth. Then press it to thy heart, 
 Indulge thy grateful love, and, falling prone 
 Before the Essential Presence, bless His name — 
 Praise, ever praise for this excelling gift ! 
 
 I muse and am amazed. Books, countless books, 
 Countless as sands, and leaves, and flowers, and stars ; 
 Yet here is one to which all else must yield, 
 As gems unto the sun — the Book of God ! 
 Genius draws near, ashamed; and learning sighs, 
 Smitten with conscious folly. 
 
 Man may blow

Christian Union. 
 
 " My life-long power and effort have been in labors that all the 
 people of Christ might be one. In nothing did I love the unity of my 
 dear boy with me, so much as in his solemn, cordial purpose to work 
 with me in this great line of Christian duty." — Rev. De. S. H. Tyng. 
 
 " We may come as near as possible to what some may call the 
 deep and broad gulf that lies between us. How it is to be bridged 
 over, I do not know ; but this I know, that I will stand as far on 
 this side of it as I can, and will reach out to grasp the hand of my 
 Congregational brethren on the other side ; and perhaps we may 
 reach far enough to touch and hold each other fast, until, by the 
 binding of loving hearts and hands, there may be constructed a 
 living bridge, over which God's people may pass in spiritual union!" 
 — Rev. Dudley A. Tyng, at a Congregational Celebration in New York. 
 
 Among all the utterances on the subject of Christian Union, in this city, since 
 the commencement of the Revival. I have beard no one that sounded half so much 
 like an inspiration from the ' ; Spirit of Truth*' as the following, made by the Rev. 
 Penncll Coomb, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in the Union Bible Meeting 
 held in the First Presbyterian Church. Washington Square, in April. E. M. 
 
 "Mr. President, can I have five minutes?" "Certainly," from 
 the President. " I wish to express my dissent from an opinion of 
 my brother Goddard [Episcopalian]. He says we do not mean to 
 give up our denominational peculiarities. Sir, it is not a question 
 of what we mean to do, but what we shall do. That book whose 
 circulation we meet to promote says, that ' the watchmen shall see 
 eye to eye.' My brother cannot continue to do as he does, meet so 
 cordially with other Christians, and love them as truly as he does, and 
 yet cherish as zvarmly as ever his denominational peculiarities. It is 
 not in human nature. I understand this subject, sir. For the first 
 twenty years after my conversion I hardly thought any one could 
 be a good man unless he were a Methodist. The more I know of 
 my brethren of other churches, the more I see I was mistaken. It 
 is a great mistake for any brother to imagine that his branch of the 
 church holds the perfect truth. We are all somewhat wrong. Wc 
 mix with the pure ore of God's truth, alloy of our own. This alloy 
 God will burn up. Formerly we could tell the denomination of a 
 man by his prayers, but now people go to the union prayer meet- 
 ings, and say they cannot tell what church the speakers and those 
 who lead in prayer belong to. Whatever, then, we mean to do, GOD 
 MEANS TO MAKE US ALL ONE!"

I.— THE NEW TESTAMENT. 
 
 In an editorial notice in the New York Independent, we find the following 
 commendation of a very admirable edition of the New Testament, by the Rer. 
 T. II. Stockton, of Philadelphia. " He has published, at his own charges, a very 
 beautiful edition of the New Testament ; giving the text of the recent standard ed- 
 ition of the American Bible Society, in paragraph form, and supplying to this text 
 such indexes as are needed to make its contents moat apparent, just such substan- 
 tially as the American Society ought to publish, to fulfill its o'llice and obey its 
 constitution. Dr. Stockton publishes this in different forms, making two vols, or 
 four vols, of the whole of the New Testament, or putting each book into a "tract'' 
 by itself as the purchaser may prefer. And his edition, especially in the four vol. 
 form, is by litr the handsomest, the most convenient for use, the most attractive in 
 its whole style ever published anywhere, whether in this country or in England. 
 It ought to liave, and undoubtedly will have, a very wide and useful circulation. 
 If any of our readers desire the very best and most delightful edition of the New 
 Testament, with the Text arranged in -paragraph form, for their own use, or 
 that of their children and households, he is the man, at 1400 Chestnut Street, 
 Philadelphia, (or 122 Nassau Street, in this city,) to supply it to them." 
 
 From the Venerable and Pert rend Dr. Nott, President of Union College, 
 Schenectady, N. Y. — a cherished name in all the country. 
 
 " Having examined the first number of Stockton's Periodical New Testament, 
 which number contains the Gospel according to Matthew, with a comprehensive. 
 Index, appropriate Introduction, and several beautiful specimens of Pictorial 
 representations, it gives me pleasure to say, that the design of the work meets 
 my entire approbation, and that its execution is all that the reader of the Bible 
 could desire. It is to be hoped that the Editor will meet, in its extensive circula- 
 tion, with that requital which such a tribute to the Sacred Literature of our 
 country deserv* ~. 
 
 Union College, Sept. 14 : 1SJ7. ELIPITT. NOTT." 
 
 II.— BIBLE TRACTS. 
 
 " This enterprise is worthy of the highest commendation, and every one who 
 can, should assist in the circulation of these tracts, for what is so likely to give 
 light and understanding to the simple, as the entrance of God's Word i 1 " — New 
 York Chronicle. 
 
 "Never before have we seen this inimitable Sermon presented in a form M 
 attractive and impressive." — Western Methodist Protestant. — alluding to our 
 Lord's Sermox ox the Mount. 
 
 III.— STUDENT'S MEMORANDUM. 
 
 Notices of the Stcdext's Memorandum: of tite New Testament: "Tho 
 plan, as a conservator of all valuable Scriptural Knowledge, is well conceived, 
 and will afford Ministers, Sunday-school Teachers and others, peculiar facilities 
 for storing up matter for their work." — N. Y. Chronicle. 
 
 "Mr. Stockton is also publishing the Student's Memorandum of the New 
 Testament, a blank book, ruled and paged with reference to chapters, and 
 valuable to those who are accustomed to study with the pen in hand. The poet 
 says: ' Studium sine calamo somnus est.' " — Christian Intelligencer. 
 
 IV.— THE BLESSING. 
 
 A Good Book for Children" : " It is preceded by a handsome steel engraving 
 of a family engaged in asking a blessing, and the letter-press is a development 
 of the picture." — Am. Presbyterian. 
 
 " This little work opens with a beautiful steel engraving, representing a house 
 and the family that occupies it. The writer explains each one in succession, as 
 found in the picture, and offers suggestions of an amusing, pleasing and instruct- 
 ive character. It is indeed a good book for good childreu." — Christian Chron.
