BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE Prentice, of the Louisville
Journal, pays the following eloquent tribute to the
memory of his late assistant:
Tomorrow the lamcnted Shrcve will be laid in
his grave amid the tears and sobs and lamentations
relatives and friends, but his memory unburied in
the earth, will remain cherished and beautiful and
holy thing in the souls of hundreds When such
man passes away he leaves the earth lone and desc
late to those who knew and loved him, but heaven
becomes brighter to them than before. 4 dark and
chilling shadow stretches from his tomb and seems
to envelope the heart and the whole world of nature
with its cold gloom but nhen the eye of the spirit
looks upward and pursues him in his radiant and
starry flight the gloom vanishes, and all is eternal
beauty and glory.
We, the surviving editor of the Journal feel that
the prime of life is scarcely yet gone yet as we
look back upon our long in this CITY, we seem
to behold and far only the graves Of the priced
and the lost. All the numerous journeymen and APP
prentices that in employ when we first COM
menced publishing paper dead, first part
ner, our second partner, and third partner are
dead and first assistant and our last assistant are
also dead When these memories come over U.S. we
feel like one alone at midnight in the midst of a
church yard, with the winds signing mournfully a
round him through the broken tombs and the voices
of the ghosts of departed joys sounding dolcfuy in
his ears. Our prayer to God is that such memories
may have a Christening and purifying and ecvating
influence upon US and fit to discharge our duties
better than we have yet done"
