DEATHS riNGulsHED VICTIMS
The pail Of Death has within a short,
period rested upon large number OF
distinguished men in both hemlspheres.
The most prominent in This country
have been Clay, Webster and King
Each OF these three had devoted life
time TO ihe service OF their country, and
when each departed, the entire nation
mourned. The high minded, the
chvalrous, the spolless King Is the last
Clay died, ard men OF all parties united
in sincere tributes OF respect TO hun who
would rather be right than be Presi-
dent. Webster followed, and again
'the voice OF party was hushed in the
nations admiration Of The man.
Though in the case of each OF these
Distinguished men we all knew tha,
death could not long be deferred, ye,
when the blow came IT could not fail 10
bring with il sorrow and Iamentation.
The places OF such men cannot easily he
supplied. II has been said in view Of
the many afilctIons with which some OF
the most eminent men have recently
been visited, that we need rebuke for
our eager pursuit OF lame and station /;
N other words, that misfortune nceds>a
consolation Tor the supercilousness Of
prosperity. Perhaps this 10 30 and it
may be that by these IN ans The ways
oI God to man are vindicared, and
every inequality compensated for IN the
