The health of this lovely and interesting little boy
had been in precarous state for some months put
was hoped by his fond parents and friends that
of climate Sc, might have invgoratng erect upon

gradually he declined until sudden and violent memoir
rhage terminated his existence here.
The only expressions of uneasness that ever escaped
the little sufferer during his long sickness were ndlca-
tive of wcariness-f'Im tired-so tired. HOW
sweet to know that there is rest for him now, in the
arms of Him, who said 'Sufer little children TO come
unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom
Of heaven"
Suddenly OF Apopicxy at his residence on Messy

He well known in this community as one OF ITS most
useful and prominent citizens, having acted Tor or'y
years as Magistrate and Commissioner OF the reeve
nue. for twenty years and during the time in which he
was Justice Of the Peace, he held the ONCE Oh ilg
Sheriff Of the county.
In all the relations Of life of husband father, brother
neighbor friend and public officer, he had no superior
and member OF the Church, having connected NM
he was consistent and emncnty pious, and his whole
C. eyinced the sincerity of his faith in the efficacy and
divine preccpts of our Holy Religion His light so shone
before men, s'that they might take knowledge OF him
that he had been with the Saviour, and such was his
confidence that his peace made with God and OF ms
preparation 30 hence, that he remarked but lew
DAYS before his DEATH he had his lamp trimmed and his
light burning to meet the Bridegroom at his coming
So kind and gentle was his disposition, sincere were
his attachments so pure his religion and so lavish
and uuselish his charity, that the widow and the
orphan the poor aud the triendless sought comfort and
consolation OF him and often TOOK refuge In MS open anu
| hoSptable mansion.
He possessed naturally very strong mind, ana a
Judgment as infalblc that Of any whom the wri.
| ter has ever known His mind too was highly lmprov
cd by deep reflection close observation and much read
ing of the best authors OF our language. 10 hm men Of
business appealed for counsel by him difficulties were
settled and enmities converted into friendships His
place cannot be supplied either at his own
or in his ncighborhood, and it may he added in the
county He left no enemies, but many friends and al
example whose pure light will continue TO shine, 10 d
rect and guide many of his survivors in the paths
peace and pleaSantness he so uprightly trod
pious and devoted wife who had journcyed'thiougl
life for 45 years with him, and two children are lett be-
hind him. Their consolation should be, that he has gone
where there is sorrow, pain, and all Is JOY ano
happiness of earthly character, and that he now re-
poses in perfect security on the bosom oil that saviour
! whom he served so faithfully and loved so well.
| The deep sorrow manifested by the large concourse
assembled to pay their last tribute of love and affection
to his memory leaves not in doubt, OF the high est
nation in which he was held by those who knew hin
best Such is brief and very imperfect sketch OF tho
life and character of one of OF men now rapidly de
parting from amongst us, whose example and influence
have contributed much to give tone and character
| the morals Of the great county OF Augusta.
