Rh the unexpected and rather sudden termination of his youthful career.

Late in the autumn of 1855 a pleasure trip to London was awarded by J. Middlemore to his work-people, in which E. Warraulan was glad to avail himself of the always high treat to share in the kindness of Dr. Hodgkin and his excellent lady. His health was not more feeble than usual, but in returning to Birmingham he afterwards complained that one of the passengers in the railway train refused to close the window, though he respectfully urged it. From this his susceptible frame received a shock which it never overcame, and a severe cold was the consequence. It gained the immediate care of his kind hostess, Deborah Hill, and that of E. Chesshire, whose medical skill was assiduously and gratuitously afforded to the last. Their combined efforts mitigated the severity of the attack; but the sudden termination of his life, about six weeks after, proved how difficult foreigners find it to acclimatize themselves to the varied climate of Great Britain.

Besides these aids, E. Warrulan received from numerous friends and acquaintances many attentions and delicacies which his feeble health and appetite required, and Dr. Hodgkin paid him a visit to confer on the spot with the medical attendant, though repeated correspondence had taken place between them. E. Warrulan was greatly elated to see bis kind friend. Dr. Hodgkin, and anxiously inquired when he might return to Australia, where now all his affection appeared to centre. He had long before desired to forward, for his father's acceptance, a copy of the sacred writings, but it is difficult to say if it ever reached its destination. And now he was more than usually earnest to communicate personally to his father that love of his Saviour which he had, it is believed, for many years found as his comforter whilst separated from his friends, and now felt, during his illness, both as a solace and a privilege to experience. To his father, indeed, this would have proved too late a boon, as the information had already reached this country, that in a prevailing sickness both himself and several members of his family had been removed by death; a fact E. Warrulan was not suffered, by his truly kind and considerate friends and attendants, ever to know.

To the survivors of that family, and to the tribes of the Australian continent, it is difficult, and almost painful to contemplate the loss which they may have suffered in this truly opportunate mind. His dying sympathies were with his brethren according to the flesh; and though unable himself to communicate the unsearchable riches of Christ,, surely, the feeble voice of the sufferer, on his bed of death, shall not fail to reach those for whose behest his last words and his closing thoughts were intended, as the following instructive narrative by Deborah Hill, and others, fully justify.

Some few days before his death a person said to him, in the
