These projects it was determined, in the good providence of God, were
not to be realized. Archdeacon Bridge was prematurely carried off, in
the midst of his zealous and successful labours, at the end of
February, 1856. "He worked himself to death!" said the Bishop. "His
death was felt in the colony as a public loss."

Intelligence from Newfoundland

The author of this memoir had written to Kallihirua, whilst he was at
St. Augustine's, and had received from him a letter shortly, and
plainly expressed, which the Warden stated to have been composed and
written by the youth himself, and which proved how anxious he was to
do well that which was given him to do. The author afterwards often
thought of the amiable Kalli, and was in hopes of soon hearing from
him in his new abode in Newfoundland. But man proposeth, and God
disposeth. A St. John's paper, _The Newfoundland Express_, taken up
casually in July, 1856, conveyed the intelligence that Kallihirua had
passed away from this busy anxious world to another, and, we humbly

of all Christian hearts.

Allusion to Prince Le Boo

Feelings of this kind are excited by the narrative of the early death
of Prince Le Boo, a youthful native of the Pelew Islands, who was
brought over to this country in July, 1784, and who, in the
spring-time of life, after little more than five months' stay in
England, fell a victim, to the small pox. In the memoir of that young
prince, who died at Rotherhithe, and was buried in the church-yard
there, in December, 1784, there are some points of resemblance to the
case under our notice. The natural and unforced politeness of the
youth, his aptness at conforming, in all proper things, to the habits
and customs of those to whose hospitality he was intrusted; his warm
and single-hearted affection for such persons, in whatever station,
as showed him kind offices, his desire for mental improvement; his
resignation and submission in his last illness to the will of God,
these are features which remind us of the subject of our present
memoir. Many are the t
