1t was our good fortune to hav6 tho acqtain-
lance of the estimable young man whose death
is. chronicled above. When We lust saw him: h
few brcfmOnths since, he WASH in tho first flush of
manhood; young, vigorous and robust, with tho
ardent life blood boundin g through his veins,
| and his check mantled with the perfect glow of
health. Little did then think that disease
| could touch him with its poison finger, or that
death would so soon benr him ~ its chill ON
brace to I" tho land of the hereafter" But tho
grim monster Z" loves shining mark" aud tho
virtues and goodness OF our lamcntcd friend
formed too bright a target to resist tho dprt
which was sent home with such fatal ard unor-
ring certainty. Io possessed omi ncnt social
| qualities, and his mind, which was cast in ,
mould above tho ordinary stamp, was eulttva-
ted and refined to degree that rendered him
highly companionablo. We tender tho sympa-
thy of u far-of friend to his borrowed relatives,
and glad to know that his star or life which
sot so quickly, did not go down behind tho dar-
kcncd west, but melted away in tho brightnca,
of Heaven. ~ "r0',B.i

Private friendship would love TO exprcsS itself
in terms suitable TO the worth Of this estlnlable

many who recall his memory with mingled Joy
and sorrow.-F Girm0Rt YirginiIn.
