 Died in this city, on the 26th inst, at E. P. WAsHBoURSE of pneumonia, in the 29th year of Iris age..
 Affections come not alone. It was only last week that we were called to record the death of the father of the deceased. A no- ble sire and noble son now lie side by side i'll the cold mansion of the grave-- Over their precious dust the blessed Savior will watch until He shall bid 1t rise in glo- rious i'm mortality. They were stricken down by the same disease, after a short but painful illness.
 Mr. W. was born at Dwight Mission in the Cherokee Nation, Nov. l7, 1881. The first eleven years of his life were spent in the Indian country, where his parents were laboFing as devoted and faithful Mis- sionaries of the Cross. His mind was early imbued with the principles of our holy re- ligion. And we have good reason to know that the good seed of the word brought forth in his life the amiable fruits of righte- ousness. He was uniformly kind gentle and loving in his disposition; and was al- ways dearly beloved by those who knew him.
 heard an intelligent gentleman-one who knew him long and we'll, say after his death: "There may be another as fine young man as he was, but if their is, 1t has not been my good fortune to know him. ."- Purity of heart and life were the crowning excellencies of his character.
 He early manifested a taste and talent for
 D
 his life to the profession of an artist. Bril- liant success has marked his career in his profession since that time. The '' Arkan saw Traveller" which has been universally admired, proves at once his power and his talent as apainter. He had just commence ed a second scene of the picture when he was taken sick; and its unfinished state now reminds us how uncertain are all earth ly purposes and earthly hopes. During his last sickness he received the aflcctionate attention of the young men of his acquaint ance. His mother and brother reached here on Saturday, in time to enjoy the mel ancholy pleasure of ministering to him in his last hours. He received the intelligence on Friday evening, of his dangerous situation, with composure and strong faith in God. It was remarkable that nothing would com pose his mind so much as the subject of re- ligion. He gave particular directions about his business and his burial, and remarked that he would soon be relieved from sin and suffering, for he believed that there was crown of life laid up for him in heaven.- And when this expression of the Psalmist was quoted" Though walk through the valley of the shadow of death, 1 will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me- he remarked 1 have that staff now in my hand, and then turning to his young friends by his side, said to them, you must get this staff while in health and walk with it through life, and then you will have it when you come to die. When asked if he had any message to send to his sisters and brother he repli- ed Tell them am happy, though in great pain. Soon after this he said the religion of Jesus Christ is no superstition; 1t Is a reality. Then turning to his brother he asked him, " Do you believe in the religion of Jesus Christi" And he answered his own question by saying, "I know you do; you cannot disbelieve it, for it is true ''- The dying testimony of this gifted young man adds another argument to the truth of our holy religion and establishes its power and efficacy to give peace in the hour of death.
 His funeral was preached in the Presby- terian church to large congregation oi weeping friends.
 After the services were concluded, the masonic brotherhood conveyed his remains to the graveyard, where he was inferred with masonic honors.
 We sincerely sympathize and rejoice in hope' with the beloved family and bereav- ed circle of friends. w.
