'A So diosa wave along the shore" o.E.D-
Departed this lie on the l1ih day OF
January 1859, after a short illness, at his
residence near Sugar Grove, o., the Hon.
JosEPn STuKEY, aged Sc years, 3 months
and II days.
Funeral services we're held on the 18Th
inst, two sermons were preached, TO a
large and attentive sudience-in the Ger
man Inn uage by the Rev. Mr.. Sutter, in
the English by the writer. The services
were Of unusu ] solemn;ty.
The deceased was born in the State of
Pennsylvania, in the year 1893, and at a
very early age removed with his parents
10 this State, where he was reared, and
lived long as an honored, and bighly res
pectable citizen. He was twice elected a
member Of the Legislature. During his
last term Of office as Representative, he
was chosen Associate Judge OF the Court
of Fairfield dodnty. For two terms IA
years) he faithfully, and impartially dis.
charged the duties Of that highly response
ble and importa positionj thus showing
that in his public life, he possessed the
confidence and esteem Of all who knew
him. To know him, was to love aud res
pect him. In manner, he was al ways kind
and benevolent--in judgment, sound and
imparlial--as Christian, exemplary, and
truly consistent in the profession.
Thus has family lost an afIectionate
and kind father. Eight childfen, all re-
specially known, yet survive him. Death
has before called one after another from
the home circle. AS family your be.
reAyemont is truly severe, having scarcely
laid aside the garb Of mourning for an at.
iectionate mother, who not long preceded
your paternal head to the eternal world
The domestic circle as we'll as the vicinity
in which he was known will greatly mis-
RIM To the church is he also an irrepa
ra6ts loss. Long has he been devotedly
piOus member, and officer OF the German
Reformed Church. But no more will h,
meetin the sanctuary Of God here below
! But whilst the church here mourns he
loss, WI" are comforted in the assuranc
that now he is one Of the glori6ed wor
shippers srouud the throne Of heaven.
+ His end was oalm, and serene, as tn
setting sun. No fears beolouded his spir
itual vision, as the ''grim monster" ap
peared in view. In his last moments, b
eslmly discoursed with his mourning fam
| lily and friends, Of the glories that awaite'
him, as his Savior appeared in view. to re
ceive his spirit, anxious to take its Aigh
to the eternal world. FdretoeH dsar father
may We all meet thee in thy ssnctiiie
home Of etelna bliss. N. IL. L.

SO fades the roso, whom the rude winds Of autumn
Sweep DER the land, deep laden with frost;
Our hopes and our fears nll prove an abortion 10.
When death mounts the car, and proclaims one los
ourdear little KATE, was both playful and kind,
And promised a life OF thrse score and ten,
To gnden the hearts, and solace the mind,
Ofallwho know her--both Parent and Friend.
But alasl she has left us TO mourn her departure
And provide for tho present aud future apace,
While hope points her friends TO glorious hereafter
Il Let us all be resigned to goodness and graco.-kD
