Rev. Dr. Van Rensselaer, pastor of a IVeehyterian congregation in that plaeo, which paya ao just and ehaynent a tribute to the late Bishop of Now Jersey, that wo are quite confident our readers will p<cnse It wkli unalloyed . I gratification. Coming from a gentleman enters talning religious doctrine* diametrically opposed to those so sturdily maintained by iheliMnop, it is entitled to our highest respect: * * r . ? With these preliminary explications of the spirit Of the text, I proceed to a consideration of the character and services of that remarkable ansa, whose auddea death has thrown shadows o dark ant) ao far. Bishop Donne had his faults, as who has not? " He that la without sin among you. let him first casta stone." In taking a glance at his infirmities, Dt u* tvnramher? ). God is the only Jndgo. 1 Be has-gone to his final award. 3. We ourselves are sinners. 4. As nothing has been adjudicated, charity has a large scope. A Hi* faults were never concealed; for his nature knew no guila A. His many virtues claim a full and fair off at agalimt every charge. 7. With what judgment ye judge, it ahall be Htm re general considerations. Thin b not < the btaea, nor ii it ?; duty, to dlwiiM the particulars of accusation. It is sufficient to express the opinion that the distinguished ftrebto *M often harshly judged and eaiut??i*l*<L There are three remarkable facte, which serve to eotnmend, and to enforce charity over bla grave. In the fits* place, ?i?hep Thfene'e moet in:ltnata friends Wfleved him innocent. Judges, lawyers, physician*, divines, inlknat- acquaint noca, male and female, hy ecoree and thousand*, hare placed the most implicit confidence in bb motives and integrity. Ia the second place, his Chureh, ia its tVioceana and General Convention, was never against Win. Indeed, the House of Bishops formally declared hb innocence; and this is presumptive proof thai hi* religious character eould not be Impugn"! in the Church to which ha belonged. I |? tfa? third place, it cannot be denied that | Ood ebowed no little favor to the BUltop in life I and in death, ire enabled him to Maompltab a | large amount of good; protected him In Provl- j dene* from a varied and powerful opposition; and permitted hltn, after a long Ufa of labor and < tfel, to die In peace.

So he was. He maguified lib. office. >tfs work was done on n great scale. lie wns, personally, everywhere in his diocese; and his writings were circulated widely Ih eVrfy other diocese. lie was the prominent man in the House of Itishope, He could out-preach, out vote,,apd out-work tlio whole of hia brethren in the Kpi-copate. .He was n sort of Naholeon among Bishops. It was nfter he crossed Alps of dimctiiliv* that ha entered upon the campaign of his highest renown. The bridge of Lodi nnd the field of Marengo were to nim the inspirations of heroism and the rallying time cf mightiest strategy. Bishop Donne was, perhaps, better adapted to the English Church than to the American. His prelatienl notions suited a monarchy more than n republic. In the House of Lords, he Would hnVe stood nmong the lyremoat of Lord Bishops, lh- of-Oxffird would not linve ranked hefhtv him of New Jersey. Bi-lu.p Doane was a good ileal of an Anglican in his modes of thought and his views of rccleain* tical uutliority. llnri he lived in tire days of Charles, he would hnse been a U?d<|sn in prelaticnl and political convictions?-super Laudcan in intellect, and aub-Lnodean in general ecclesiastical temper.

With an exalted view of his office, he lived, and labored, and died. In this spirit, he encountered all his hardship* and perils.; and when, as in the case of danger in crowding the Delaware, lie jumped into the frail skiff, inviting tire ferryman to follow, it was the same spirit of " Acostolum vWhis." Bishop Donne was, in short, as com plete a specimen of High Church Bishop as tire world lias seen, sud in some resjtect* he was ? model for any class of Bishops at home or in mother England As a Rector, Bishop Doanc was precisely what might be <cx|>ected of a man of his character. He was earnest, native, fertile in expedients, a faithful visitor of his people, and a friend of the poor. He seemed to he always in.the right place at the right time, lie Went altor.t doing good, and was known in Burlington asHevtortimre than Bishop. As a preacher, no Bishop turjmseod Bishop Doane. lie has published more sermons (Iiaii the whole Honse of Bishops-Baltic sermons, which will be perpetual memot-inla of his intellectual powers' and of his real for tlrs Church. These discourses are on a great variety of topr?s but they contain much scriptural truth, mingled with , his own peculiar views of Apostolic Order, sacra mental grace, and socle*!astleal nnity. Ilis see mon before the last (leneoal Convention of the Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, was the occasion of one of the greatest triumphs he was ever permitted to etyoy.

Hi* l>e?t effort* w?-re fine and imprmivf. Uli vorco was loud, and when ho eh oar, well modulated. Hi* gesticulation wax animat od and strong. His clear blue eye. glowed with vivacity; and his'words worked their Wav Into the minds and hearts of Ids audience. Bishop I >oouc showed nit adaptation to the masse*, which many speaker* in the sacred dvsk so much look. He was a whole-souled, commanding orator, when great occasions summoned forth his powers. The two bent specimens of his delivery, within uWa observation, were at Mrs. Bradford's funeral, and at the celebration of the last birthday of Washington. Nothing could be ntore ap proprtate and more effective, for the ends of orotory, than was his manner on those occasions.? At tiiue*, 1 am told that he did not do himself Justice; but he had if in him, and U generally came out. Who of the citUens of Burlington, that heard him on*the 22d of last February, did not recognise the Voloo, the mannor, and the presence, of a great popular orator 1 As a writer. Bishop I)oane't stylo was peculiar. It woe ornate, pithy, 8o?on. It wm a style of his own. It would not suit most men. Few ought to presume to imitate It. But it suited himself. Many admire it.

The first reply was a lecture on idleness nnd begging, and concluded wiih the information that ;ho writer was not accustomed to give to those he did not know. This was from ten thousand dollars a year. The second advised her to apply to sotne of the benevolent societies whose business it Was to relieve those who were truly in want* This was from one who lmd n great reputation for benevolence?who had taken a lending part in several charitable association*, and whose phnrienical liberality liad been blasoned in the Gaxcttc. The lady thought that, interested as he wna in ihe eucceseof these institutions, he displayed a very commendable reluctance about taking it out of their hands. A third, from a good-hearted, generous, kind follow?enclosed n five dollar bill with bis compliments. Several took no notice of the good woman's petition. But there wan onotlicr answer which the lady rend with far different feelings. It was from David?from eight hundred a year?and I need not say, like himself, kind and consoling. It spoke of the writer's narrow means, the rule he had adopted, of never giving, unless jx-rauaded of the object, and concluded by requesting an interview.

But bis kind lady love Was a silent obarrVcr of his conduct, and he received many a kind glance from that quarter, of which he little suspected the cause. she began to think that the homage or a spirit like hla was not a thing to be despised; ami she felt something very much like the palpitation of the heart aa she questioned herself respecting hia ihtentJonn Such was the train of thought which was oho evening, as is often the case, lntcrruped by the person who had been its cause. Hour after hour passed by thut night, and he still lingered, lie could not tear himself away. " She is the most fascinating creature," thought ho, " and good as alie is beantiful. Can she ever be mine?" And a cloud passed over his features and he sat for a moment in silence. "This suspense must bo ended," he at length thought, lie started as the clock told eleven. *' You certainly think me insuffcrnhly tedious," said he, with a (sint smile, " but I have been so pleasantly engaged as to take no note of the time. And the sin of this trespass on the rules of good breeding must be at your door.

"Nay," said he, "the matter rests with yourself.

And yet I cannot restrain myself from making an avowal, which, though it may lie futile, it is yet a deserved tribute to your worth." And he pepped the question. The lady did not swoon or turn pole, but a flush of gratifioatlnn passed over her fnee and iiglitea n?r ?y? lor n moment. She frankly gave him her hand and looked up archly in hia face.

Mr Rucker lied the facts from John Ik Campl>dl, Ksq., superintendent of the M. S. aod-N. J. R. R. One day fast week, as the eastward bound express train reached Lnjiorte, Ind., a passenger stepped off while the engine was being replenished with wood and wutev, and walked back nnd forth on the platform, and continued to walk until the whistle sounded. The other passengers got on board, and the train passed off, but the gentle man still walked on. A few minutes after the train had gone, a station man saw the pedestrian, and going up to him asked ill surprised tone: . " What llie d?1 are yon doing here 1" The man started, opened his eyes, and looked arouud, bewildered. The fnct was he had been fatigued and dropped asleep while walking.? Rousing himself, he asked : " Why T Where nm 11" " Where arc you? At Laporte." " Where's the train I came on !" " That left tea minutes ago." " Ten minutes ago. and left me 1 I must go on that train. It is a question of life or death with me. Can you get me to it ? Have you got an engine here? Where is the superintendent?" The section master had an officer near by, and the two went to find that official and to procure an engine. The traveler stated the case?ho must go on, and could not delay?and offered the officer $250 if he would put him on board the train. This strange demand, and strange offer, caused the baggage master to hasten and do what he could. The fire was rot out in the engine that bad taken the train to that point?the bargain whs settled?a draft given on Now York for $260, and in ten minutes the traveler started, with an engine, to overtake the flying express. After rushing on for some thirty or fifty mile#, some connection gave way about the engine. The engine was stopped ?the engineer found the difficulty, and in a few minutes had a wooden pin whittled out to supplj- the deficiency. With this on they flew. The train had, of course, many miles the start of them, and despite the wooden pin the engineer crowded on steam, and tore through the country at a fearful rate.? Thirty mile* of the distance passed was run in '27 minutes, but the engagement was that they should overtake the train, and do it they must, and do it they did, but not until more than one hundred miles hn?i been run, and they were approaching Toledo. Having at length, after much exertion, overtaken and stopped the train nnd hurried on board, the traveler went eagerly to a berth in the sleeping car, and took therefVom n carpet bag containing $275,000. His trensurc was safe?none bad molested it, nnd dismissing his faithful courier, he went on his way rejoicing at the success of his perilous and exciting adventure. Tint Mysterious Chess Pi.aykr.?The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Mercury, in a notice of Morphy, the great chess player, says a queer incident occurred to him soon after his arrivalin New York. A carriage drove to the St, Nicholas, in which was seated a splendidly-drossed lady. She sent up a card, and requested an interview with the chess champion. The interview was granted, when the lair visitor demanded the privilege of playing a game with Mr. Morphj\ Mr. M. looked at the magnificent eyes of the stranger and said, "Yes?certainly." The chess table was brought to the window, and Mr. Morphy placed the men. The lady, of course, wna permitted the first move. Half a dozen moves were made on either side, and Morphy found himself interested ; his \ i si tor promised U> prove the most formidable antagonist he had had for a long time. Being absorbed in the game, Morphy directed the servant to admit no one else until it wna completed. The game lasted two hours, and was drawn. The lady was #lia*n aniiaA.^ ?nil Ithuliinirlv ImiL' hpp lpflYP. Morphy himself accompanying her to her carriage. The moment she had gone, Morphy and his friends eet at work to ascertain the identity of the beautiful visitor, trot doubting that tlie; name npon her curd could be found in the directory. This, however, proved to be a mistake, and though every endeavor was made to ascertain precisely who was the visitor, the gentlemen are as much in the dark as ever. \Yb .^yery. she may be she ployed the best game '.n sy.hich, Morpliy was ever a contestant, and ?,'n# j^obably adopted these menus of matching herself with Morpliy in otdar to assure b o| her own, skill. ? - -* ?- ??
