i
ARCHIBALD HENDERSON, Jr., is no more! In at
tempting to pass Goose Creek, which was much
swollen by the late rains, on Saturday, the 9Th
instant at Coohran's ford, he became detached
from his horse, and, after making an effort al
most successful, to gain place Of safety, he
sunk to rise no more. This most melancholy
event occurred about sunset, while on his way
to Leesburg from Fairfax Court House, where
he resided, and where he had been engaged for
short period in the practice of the law, with
encouraging prospects of success.
Thus he fell in the bloom Of youth-in the 23d
year Of his age-so beloved, so pure, so mo-
dest, and so full of promise; but lately allied to
lovely and interesting young lady; and fol-
lowing too, SO soon, an older brother, who was
cut off also, in the prime of manhood. To His
will, who hath said, 81 have given and have
taken away" let US all bow with humble reve-
renee.
To his disconsolate widow, his bereaved pa
rents and afflicted friends, there is much to soft
en- the keen pungency of grief and to sustain
them under a blow so severe. There is the
sweet consciousness that, though like the other,
he has found an early grave, he has, like him,
fallen without stain or q blemish, and without
a wish on the part Of his friends to blot from
memory's bright page single action Of his life,
or to impart different hue. The heart, while
it cannot but deeply deplore career so brief
an end so sudden and so painful, delights to
dwell on an example so pure and blameless;-a
son so truly dutiful-a husband so tender and
devoted-a brother so kinda friend so warm.
The virtues, like bright halo seem, indeed, to
have clustered around his character. This
small tribute is paid by one who knew him well,
who respected him highly, and esteemed him
warmly. Peace to his noble and generous spi-
rit!
His remains greatly to the relief of those to
whom he was dear were recovered on the third
day after, and consigned to their mother earth
in the Espiscopal Church-yard in Leesburg.
