And see them humbled, at Jesus feet;
My Country called, did obey,
Have tried to walk in duty's way.
Father, sister, brothers, friends,
Ipray in life you make amends;
Mother is resting in the silent tomb,
And now. penetrate its gloom.
How hard for one so young as /,
To give up life. and with strangers die;
My friends prepare without delay,
And at once, the word of God obey.
My counsel to you Oft has been,
Turn to Christ, depart from sin;
My friends, adieu, my race is DER,
You'll see my face in time no more.
My once loved form, now cold and dead,
My hopes in life all have fed
But rest assured I'll live again,
And with Chris. hope to reign.
Cease. then fond nature cease thy tears,
For here rest ill Christ appears;
Then our joys shall be complete,
When all the just with Jesus meet

George was sick some weeks. but the ex-
act disease Of which he died has not been
reported to his friends. He was an ex-
cmplary young man; and when his country
was assaulted by It's enemies. was possessed
of too much patriotism to remain at home
when his country called for help. He par
ticipated in some of the engagements with
the rebels in Western Virginia; and finally
has fallen victim to disease and DEATH
