In Camp Allegheny of Typhoid Fever and Pneu-
mOnia, Igeant EUGENE GRANVILLE CURRY, aged %
| years and day.
Amid ali the scenes of youth or manhood there was
not one to be found who more beloved and es-
teemed than the deceased. By his lovely kind and
amlabe disposition he had gained the esteem of all
who knew him. We mourn because one so useful to the
community, SO full OF manly and honorable impulses,
and whose character, universally, the subject of
general praise and commeadation should be snatched
away from among as in the flower of manhood and
bloom OF health. Yet, why should mourn, for ssThe
Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away blessed be
the name of the Lord"
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful In the grave low;
Thou no more wilt join our number
Thou no more our songs shalt know.
Dearest brother, thou has left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel, 1art--441 zol
But tits God who hath bereft US,
He can all our sorrows heal.'
Sergeant Curry was youth of no ordinary capaci-
ty. Few such men have ever lived, and do not ex-
pect ever to look upon his ike again. How ingenious
in argument and how brilliant in languagel Too
much cannot be said to his praise and we have
rance to believe that he resting in the realms
of glory, here time and earth shall be no MORE and
no farewell tears she'd but one continual song of
spread over earth her rosy WINGS
And this meek sufferer cold and ivory pale
Lay on his couch asleep The gentle air
Game through the open door, freighted with
The savory odors of lingering Fall
