COMMUNICATED.

stHeaven, from all creatures hides the book Of fate
All but the page, prescribed, their present state"
| Never were we more forcibIy reminded of the
reality of this solemn truth, than by the recent af-
Aicting dispensation of an all wise Providence, in
the removal by death from the midst of an extern
sve circle of relatives and friends one upon whose
continuance in life seemed to depend the happi-
ness of all. In the demise of the HON. SPENCE
M. GRAYSON; who departed this life on the 9th
inst in the 37th year of his age, after short but
painful illness, we have another striking example
of the frailty of that tenure by which we hold our
earthly existence! Blest with the enjoyment OF
health, prosperity and domestic happiness. and
surrounded by friends who know him but to love
him; he, had reason TO look forward to yet many
DAYS like those he had seen, but alas! he was cut
down in day! It is not the intention OF the wri-
ter in offering this last tribute of respect, to euio-
gise the deceased beyond his merits, but 1t Is do
ing no more than Justice to his memory to say,
that as husband, father, brother, master and
friend, his character was truly exemplary. In all
these relations he moved on in the even tenor of
his way, blessing and being blest, with scarcely
one to excel him in the happiness he bestowed,
and that which he received in return, in the do
nestle circle by which he was surrounded. Asa
member of the bar, Mr.. Gzayson had been long
known throughout the state, as one of the highest
ornaments of his professon-the last sixteen years
OF his life having been devoted to the unTemitted
study and ractice of the law; during which peril
and what is still more imperishable, had acquired
for him both at home and abroad that honorable
reputation which is ever the reward of indefatga-
bic industry, integrity and talent; but alas!
3In the midst Of life we are in death.n
Scarcely at his meridian, just as began to dawn
the day star Of that period of his existence, which
was apparently to terminate a bright career of
usefulness and honor, the dread mandate came to
summon him from earth, and neither medical skill
nor kind attention could rescue the victim from
the grasp of death. In the death Of Mr.. Grayson
the community must long feel and deeply lament
the loss sustained, but while the virtuous tears Of
mourning friends shall bedew the fresh earth
that now covers bis mortal remains, let them not
forget that the sombre shade that has thus unex-
pectedly been cast over their earthly happiness,
was by benificent creator ordered for wise pur-
poses. And let not her upon whom the stern de-
cree falls most heavily, muTmpr or repine, but re-
ceive rich consolation from the reflection that his
history will 1.-Two in the memory Of his country,
from which Though deprived Of his protection)
the two pledges Of his love, who now scarcely
lisp the name Of father, will learn to initiate his
virtues, and while the language Of her feelings
may be regret, let that of her heart be, tsnot my
will, but thine O God be done,n
