eulogy. In the memories o all who knew hun Is q.
reetrd an enduring monument OF his pondn,ss. We
might say Unnecessary. that in all the relations in which
he stood 10 God 10 his family. Ia his neghbors. to his
church. he faithfully met every obligation and humbly
discharged his duty. The Episcopal Church of which
he was most consistent member, mourns the loss OF
faithful son who showed his attachment. MT by words
hu by deeds and who honored her mol ny loud profession
but by holy practice. Ills name will be long mentioned
with sigh. His memory will be long cherished with
fond regret and his place we fear will long remain un

That the voce.
| Gone from those pallid lips is hnard in heaven,
| Toned with unearthly sweetness that the light
Quenehod in tho closing Of those stress lids.
Is yelling befHe God lis limid fire,
| New lat and Frightening like n star nj eve
That our friend, our brother. is now in bliss,
Not with his cold clay sleeping.
