Died, of bilious fever in the county of Powha-
ian al The residence OF Mr.. John Spears, on The
18th of October, Mr.. FRANCIS O. DRAkg. "Ai-
friicns come NOT single" We have seldom
known more sad illustration oil this familiar
saving than in the death Of this young man.
But few weeks before his brief illness, he had
witnessed the unexpected death oil an older bro
Their: and while the wounds thus caused were yet
"fresh and bleeding" The same disease seized
him. and in like manner baled the skill Of able
musicians and the illustrations OF kind friends,
and RAPIDLY exlingnished iie He, who few
DAYS since, wept over the premature death oil an
endeared brother, is noic himself wept and sor-
rowed over BY relations and friends. Under this
double affection, however The surviving friends
sorrow not as those who have no hope" The
older brother had for years been professor OF the
Christian Religion. The tenor Of his life FUR
nished evidence that in his death he exchanged a
world of atiliction and sin for world OF snless
purity and undying bliss. And though the sub
iect oil this brief sketch never made IN open pro-
lession OF Christianity, his death was that oil The
righteous The writer never remembers 10 have
seen any young man die with as much willing
ness. resignation and com2o.urc. Without a
murmur he gave mp bright earthly prospects
and, with hope in Jesus Christ, he calmly enter
ed the other world, in which it is hoped that he
and The brother from whom he had SO lately
parted, ON earth, have met, recognized each other
and will forever live to9ethe- in the 1ull ruillon
ole,ernal joys. Amid the bliss ofthat bright world
so far from their looking back with lingering
regret on what they have quilted, they are sur.
prised that they took so deep an interest in The
scenes OF this shadow state of being, while st
near 10 an ''eiernal weight Of glory" This
thought should soolhe the CRIES and dry up The
tears Of The relations OF The deceased. The sub
ject of this notice was young man who com
blned in his character many excellent traits In
his attachments he was warm and open hearted
in his dealings with mankind he was upright and
honest, in his engagements he was decisive anc
prompt, and in his de pertinent ne was dlsnlhec
and genlIemanly. We would not describe him
as faultless-
"Dsfecis through Natures best productions run;
Our friends have spots, and spots are In the SUM-"
His virtues, however, were SO many and SO
promin ent that those who knew him best regard
ed him as an ornament 10 his community and al
an honor 10 his relations. In the sudden death o
this healthy, active and amable young man. vi
are forcby taught the vanity OF all earthly hopes
and the uncertainty OF life. How often is The brish
morning OF youth overspread with gloomy tenn
pests! sSi1leen is as mortal as iourscore. =
Parents as often bury their children as children
their parents Hence The young Just as much
need the Religion OF The Bible as the aged: While
the Gospel OF Christ decorates wrinkles ane
ruins i, is exquistivey attractive and ornamen
tai when worn by youth. 1t gives them finish
il unites with bloom; it adds TO every accom-
plshment; gives lusre TO every excellence; .
charm 10 every grace and prepares them ioT al
hctons and death. y; l.
