serving towards evening, that the whole had been a very comfortable day to him, both in body and mind, he said that he could subscribe to Mr. Henry's remark (of whom he talked much) "that a life spent in the service of God and communion with him, is the happiest life of any in the world;" and which, said he, no one ever repented. Upon its being observed to him, that his mind appeared perfectly serene, he replied " Religion, religion, is all in all; nothing without it." He often said, "It is finished, my work is done; my only mediator." And it is a remarkable fact, that realizing views of the mediatorial character of Christ, seemed to fill his soul with sacred joy, particularly in the repetition of that passage, "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world." The text also of his last sermon, "His commandments are not grievous," was frequently repeated, and seemed to be deeply enjoyed. He often appeared engaged in prayer, uttered sentences only imperfectly heard, and at length in the most perfect composure departed without a struggle. "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace."

Mr. Palmer's Funeral Sermon was preached at Hackney, by the Rev. Thomas N. Toller, of Kettering, who had been acquainted with the deceased about forty-two years. The character which this

gentleman gave of Mr. Palmer, as a preacher, &c. all who were acquainted with the deceased know to be just. Mr. Palmer was buried in the ground belonging to his own Meeting in St. Thomas's Square, when, as a proof of the esteem his charity and moderation had gained him whilst living, his funeral was attended by all the ministers of different denominations in the extensive village of Hackney.

Hosannah to the Son of David! blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.]
