Obituary..

The eulogy subloined is beautifully
touching, and moves the tenderest emo
tons Of the hear. and everything tina, Is
noble in man. II, is from the pen OF a
former associate editor Of the decease,
and is noble tribute TO pure, and exha!-
ted friendship. We take the following
notice from the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Died. in Cincinnati, on Monday evening. May
lst., If consumption, c. c. WIScEsrEs, aged
81 years.
His gallant and generous spirit has
bid us farewell. Quietly ard calmly he
died, as tho closing his eyes for a pleas
ant sleep. There was 40 murmef--no
struggle. |; is thus the hero hearted die
and such was our friend Winchester.
When he knew that yesterday was the
las: OF earth to him, he folded his hands
and was glad. We will not noun his
leath, although he has been taken away
N ~ Crime OF his manhood - but while
We place hwy the grave, there soquick-
Iy 10 be forColtenhy the world, 1t us give
a thought 10 bis memory. He was be-
loved bY host of friends He was one
Of those New England policemen such
RS are sometimes met with, even away
from their native rocks ol.4 hills who
are as Incapable Of dlShonur a. though
dlsAonor were unknown: this was his
standard Of a conference.-the patent Of
nobility, He was one .. those spirits
tnat loom up like a mountain amidst the
barren, artificial landscape 81 human ma
tare. He accomplished no brilliant ac-
ton such as would trumpet his name to
the world = but il the hearts 81 friends
who knew his worth, his memory will
have place TIL they shall follow after
him.
The deceased was born in Vermont,
and removed from ,ha. State To Iowa,
thence 10 this. city, where he was eonnec-
natl Daily ,Nonpare3, In that situation
he aad the satisfaction 81 doing much 10
promote the interests o. labor, and to el-
leyatc II from its degradation 10 tn, exalt-
cd position II is now begguning u occupy.
In this hs was prqfapted by tie generous
feelings o. his heart, and many work
ing nan viii desire to pause and pay the
tribute due TO his mctuory. As Il writer
lie possessed much ability, altho' his pro-
, auctions have mel with the fate usual C
newspaper literature, many are the choice
gems that have slnrklei from his per
and gone forth 20 instruct, 10 encourage
and to please. They arc now floating
on the broad sea Of literature, where til, !
will float Tor centuries. Failing hea!tf
compelled nm to retire from his post
Consumption seized upon aud consumed
his yitals He fingered and suffered, bu
he fingered with ehecrinlness and suffer
ed wlth patience. At last, when Spring
tame 10 clothe the forest with verdur,
and tie meadows with flowers, she re.
leased MN from his suffering and usher
cd lis spirit into those regions where tn,
periuncd hreeZes Of the glad spring
time arc never succeeded by the waiting
winds ot autumn.
