[for TUB TIMES ANT) skntirkl.] The Dying Prodigal. BT MRS. C. A. I>., of COLUMBUS. I vo long’d, though faint and weary, my childhood’s home to see, And prayed that death might tarry and grant the boon to me; Oi friends I’d ask forgiveness,for olt I gave them pain, My link to hie broken, I ne’er can sin again. ‘Tispast.my days are number'd; that’hour I ne’er shall see For hie, with all its follies, is closing fast with me; Brief space of time is left me, with earthly things!’™ done My hour glass tells me truly, its sands are nearly run. Whilst on my bed I’ve languished, how oft I’ve dreamed ol home, And dear familiar faces would round my pillow come; I he world I would have given to see them all again, Twas that which gave me patience and strength to bear with pain. 1 he thought ol death is fearful, so lar away from home, flow lone must be the resting place where friends could never comelj Your image, gentle mother, bends nightly o’er my bed, I hi earn its on thy bosom I rest my aching head. Your touch would soothe the throbbing that rends my burning brow, Your voice it haunts me often, 1 hear it even now; Bat when the.dream is bioken, and other forms I see, I weep the vain illusion—no mother comes to me. My mother now is weeping beside the old hearth stone, Hei heait is yearning sadly, lor the loved and absent one; She knows not that the death damp is gathering on mv brow, And that the grave is throwing its darkness o’er me now. Sweet as an infant slumbers upon its mother’s breast, ’Neath some green spot around you, how would I love to rest; Ol tell me, whilst I linger yet, it will not be forgot, To make lor me a resting place, beside my father’seot. The late Bishop Capers* The remains of this distinguished divine were interred in the burying ground attached to the Washington Street M. E. Church, on Saturday morning last, in presence of i\ largo eirclo of friends and acquaintances. Previous to the interment, solemn and impressive cere* monies were held in the church, by the Rev. Dr. While four and Smith. The corpse was borne from the hearse to the altar by the several ministers officiating in the different ctouches in our city. The lace ot the deceased was there ee.l, and around the bier of that good man, a scene was presented not often witnessed; there stood Reverend Doctors of Iheo'.ogy, Pastors and Ministers of differ ent denominations, and members of all Churches, who had laid aside all sectarian feeding, and wre assembled around the bier of an old and faithful follower and ser vant of their common Lord and Master, who had fought his last fight. Alas, how changed that face was ; the same soft and benign appearance only was left. The mnly form was cold and stiff 1 ; the eyes that flashed wiih fire as he was wont to speak of the glories of a heavenly home, or which melted into tears when he spoke of the love of a Saviour, were now sightless ; the lips that once spoke music were now closed, and the tones of that cap. tivating voice were silenced, forever on earth. After singing and prayer, Dr. Smith based his remarks upon the following appropriate text, being a portion of the 36th verse of the 13th chapter of the Acts o( the Apos tles : “For David, after he had served his own generation, by the will of God, fell on sleep.” The eloquent orator prefaced his sermon by a few ap propriate remarks, in which he said, that there were oc casions upon which it seemed presumtuous to preach ; that there were times hen the feelings of the preacher and his hearer were too big for utterance, and that the present one was of that kind. The assemblage had not < ongregated together for the purpose of hearing a ser mon, but to reflect upon and pray for resignation to the sa 1 and spensation of Providence which had befallen the Church by the loss of one of its shining piilars. Bishop Capers was called from sin into life by the pro vidence of God in the year 1 SOS, then being in his 18th year, and soon after entered into the work of the holy ministry. In 1819 and ’gO he was stationed in Savan nah, Georgia. During his ministry, in that eity, that dreadful scourge, the yellow fever, stalked through the streets, and committed awful havoc. The young Capers, like a true disciple of his meek and lowly Master, stood heroically at his post, ministering to the wants ot the s-.ck ; soothing the pillows of the dying with one hand, and with the other poiuting their.failing vision to a home “not made with hands, eternal in the heavens,” and in closing the eyes of the dead, lie, however, was but man, and fa tigue and exposure made him a fit subject for the pre vailing epidemic, and soon stretched him on a bed of pain. An associate friend and pastor, of a sister church, tended him and watched by his bedside day and night, until he recovered, but the seeds of tint fatal disease had been sown in the veins of his friend, and the patient became the nurse, and the nurse the patient. The prayers and efforts of young Capers were alike unavailing, and his friend and co-worker died. In 1821 and ’22, Bishop Capers, was sent out as Mis sionary to the Indians, “talking to the wild and untutored red men, about the Great Spirit,” and ot llis Sou who had died to save them. His attention had long been directed to the necessity of stated preaching to our slaves, and as tar back as 1827, he had the Missions t3 the slaves established, within the bounds of this conference, and thousands ol the sable sons and daughters of Ethiopia have since that period raised their eyes and hands to Heaven, and thanked Gocl, that u Ma>si” Capers canto among them. But for him, the colored Missions, might have not yet been, heard of. Ho attended the Convention, composed of the most learn* ed and eminent divines in his church, which assembled in Louisville in 1845, for the purpose of forming and organ iz'ng the M. E. Church South, and in 1846, he was with great unanimity elected one of the Bishops of his Chuich, which pest he accepted v\ ith unaffected diffidence, an with a lull knowledge of the solemn and high responsibili ty which would rest upon him. He acted as Bishop, ex hibiting more patience and self denial, than tall to most ot his race, until ho had served his own generation alter which, by the will of God, he tell on sleep,’ at the age of 65. . N . There was a peculiar fitness (said the eloqent ora or) in the interment of Bishop Capers in this place, li s name was inscribed upon the corner stone ot this very ciu c as pastor, and in the yard, hard by, lie the r< mams o a brother, whom be kept in the innermost courts of his heart; one whom he loved in life, and now in death they would not be divided. [Rev. Mr. Kenne y.J _ v.euiu noi oe atviueu. - ‘ ‘ J .• He will sleep in the Capital of his own native which he loved next to his God. ~ n Dr. Smith, in reviewing the l:fe of B sliop Capers, call ed attention to the fact tint he had been sent to dispense the bread of life to the white man in all Ins refinement and culture; to the red rn..n in his wild and savage nature, and to the nog p o in his low estate. After the sermon, the choir sung in a feeling manner tint favorite piece of sacred music, known by the name ot ‘‘Scotland.” set to the words” Thou art gone to the gi l, but we will not deplore thee,” &e. . . The negroes and colored persons who crowded the gal lories, then asked and obtained permission to be a owe lust look at the face of their “good old Bishop alter which his precious remains were deposited under t te green sod, where they will quietly remain till the last greatdav. ‘‘Servant of God, well done; Rest from thy loved employ; r l he battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master’s joy. The voice at midnight came; He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his Irame, tie fell, but felt no lear. ***** ‘‘At midnight came the cry: To meet thy God, prepare; He woke-and caught his Captam s eye. Then, strong in faith and prayer, |§ Hta spirit, with a bound, Rest its cumbering clay; His tent, at sunrise, on the ground, A darken’d ruin lay.” The death of Bishop Capers was sudden, and to all but himself, unexpected. Two weeks before the day on which ms remains weie iuterred lie left our city on his way to the bosom of his family, in his usual health, and last Fici* day night two weeks, he was a guest of one of our cm* zens, and in the same house where his body lay on Frklav night last .
