Where the rivers of pleasure flow DER the bright
plains,
And the noon-tide of glory eternaly rcigns 7"

At his residence in this County, on the morr-
ing of the 10th Instant after long and painful
illness from Congestion of the Lungs, Capt Jas
! Moore. in the 64th year of his age. The deceased
for many years consistent member of the
Baptist Church, and judging from his department
which is our only criterion, his piety was of the
most commemorate order 1t would be useless tC
indulge in panegyric Of praise to portray the vir
tues of this good man. 1t is true that he is gone
from among the living, and though many tears
will be shed upon recurrence to his memory, i
is consolation to know that this is not our abb
ding city, and that the deceased left this trouble
some world full of blessings, years, and honOrs
During his long and painful illness, his neighbOr:
and friends much to the satisfaction of his affiic
ted family, paid every necessary attention; and
trust that his disconsoIate widow and children may
bear this affective dispensation of Providence no
as those "who mourn without hope In all TIT
varied relations Of the h. ad of family, nothing
short of his whole duty was performed ; and oftel
will his grave be moistened by the dew drops o
sincere affection When we consider the deceas
cd apart from the family circle, he is not fount
wanting in any of those noble and generous i'm
pulses which bind man to man by the stronges
ties his rare practical ability and economy, uni
ted with his plain republican simplicity in tn
management of his business, enabled him to &C
quire wealth nor was it ever used in single IN
stance to the oppression of the needy or destitute
During his whole life he unremilting In hi
attention to the sick, and particularly to that elias
who were unable to employ physician, his hos
pitality was of that genuine cast which can be be-
ter appreciated than expressed, and though pIal
and unassuming in his manners, he was truly en-
tertaining and agreeable, having always at hi
command an inexhaustible fund of humor, for tn
entertainment of those for whom he had partlcr
lar regard. When such men pass away from {
mong the living, we experience great loss bI
we should cheerfuy reconcile ourselves to tn
fiat of Him who ruleth all things according to hi
own good pleasure.
1.-The grave, the grave, that couch of rest
There hopes long loved and cherished,
Must mouIder in its dark recess
Till all, till all, have persisted" Com.
