Auiore exemplary life or happier experience in death
than that the dear youth early called the tomb,
has seldom been met with i'll one Young. Though
but short time resident among Us. his amiabe dis
position had cndcared him to the hearts Of many who
Witnessed the patience and resignation with which he
bore his aiction, and who sympathize with the be-
reayed family whose little circle death has again en-
tered. His disease lingering and often accom-
panied with severe suffering, Yet nurnur
plant ever escaped his lips and he seemed to be
calmly awaiting his summons to the skies Christian
friends vino conversed with him invariably found him
IN the happcst state Of mind but it was when he
ncarcd the hour of his departure THAI he more Partc
uarly evidenced the delightful influence of picty up
on the youthful heart. The evening preceding his
DEATH most Joyous feeling came over his spirits
which manifested by the dismissal of the natural
tImdity which usually made him appear quiet and
served. and he conyersed freely with 4 number of
friends present and so sweetly did lie speak of his
present happy condition and the joys OF that immortal
he should that those who stood by
his dying bed felt indeed that it heavens gate.
Later in the night he called his father TO his bedside

boys awaiting his arrival the other shore He then

his little sister, counseng her to avoid the company
OF wicked children, and always 20 be obedcnt to her
parents, and asking to be left alone he offered most
touching and eloquent prayer for her preservation
from evil and that they might meet in heaven. His
conversation was intermingled with CALCULATIONS of
praise, and he frequently gave utterance to such

by.' &C. few hours before his death. he spoke of
hearing delightful music and of seeing bright forms
and who doubt but that the heavenly messengers
Were round the bed, and in the room,
Waiting 10 bear his spirit home
After violent fit OF coughing, he turned to his
mother and said. Did You hear that?a and then adj
ded, rhe Saviour called me!' When, previously, he
was told by Dr. Martini his physician, that lie could
not live TWO days, he replied, y long for the hour to
come Here his mother wept, when he said, "Moth-
er what Is that for ss because said that:" His
mother replied, sonny, is hard to part with you!
upon which he SAID, My dear mother am prepared
/ to 20: all is peace, happiness and joy! O. am so
happy, 50 happy! o, plase the Lord glory be to God
/ 0, my Saviour my Saviour halelujah halelujahl O.
/ I am 50 happyys Here he was SO exceedingly happy
in Christ that his heart seemed TO be fire with love
Jesus; and this state of mind continued to the last
moment of his life. About six o'clock on Friday even
ing, he gently bre3thed his last, and Chntons spirit
released from earth, few meet his Saviour's en-
brace and join his little brothers in the happy land.
