HIS mornings sun looks down upon a stricken City and its grief brings a whole State to the ground in woe. At the hour of twelve-thirty of the clock yesterday morning, Bishop Clarkson breathed his last breath of mortal life. In the midst of this great calamity, could we be left to our own hearts, we would sit with our personal grief in silence. But a few words must be written for the public record. Robert Harper Clarkson was born at Gettysburg, in Pennsylvania, on the 19th of November, 1826. He was of an old and honored family. His grandfather, the Rev. Joseph Clarkson, D. D., was the first clergyman ordained by Bishop White. He was rector of St. James Church, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, until he reached a great age, and he now lies in the churchyard there. The Bishops father was, during his sons boyhood, a man of extensive business, and great public esteem. Afterward he lived in retirement.

While at the College of St. James he learned to love, and was in turn greatly loved by, the Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg, whose memory still lives and will always live in St. Lukes hospital, New York, which he founded, and in the lines of the hymn, I would not live alway, which he wrote. This eminent divine was the immediate successor of the elder Dr. Clarkson, as rector of the Church in Lancaster, and this strongly attached him to the young man, who through life was as a son to him. Dr. Bowman, also rector of the same Church and afterward Bishop of Pennsylvania, was his uncle. For his piety, learning and great labor, his name is a treasure in the Church to this day. He gave BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. 9 his kinsman his solicitous affection and assistance. Dr...
