collection of departed WORTH asking no adven-
titious aid. Over the grave of the deceased,
may, with propriety, be inscribed, The MODEST
qoork of God-am honest man." Known long
and Familiarity to this community, he was es-
teemed for his industry, his enterprise, his integ-
rity. He discharged the various duties of life,
faithfully and conscientiously, securing the
warmest affection Of his family and friends, and
the mistaken confidence Of all who knew him.
To crown the whole, Mr.. Preston was Chris
tian, walking humbly with God,> for many years
consistent and pious member of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. AS might have been
expected, his end was peace. The writer Of
breathe his last. No infant ever sunk to slum-
tie. No murmur escaped his lips-no dread
was felt. He had made his peace with God, and
left the world with the triumphant assurance
upon his lips that he was happy.
