scrupulously Just In his - career not
only did never spot sub Me purity of
his reputation, but no onelwh0 knew him,
ever dreamed that he could fora moment
even design an unjust or dishonorable ac-

His fixed and unalterabfe determination
was always To- do-right, and dhis whole life
was charactarized by a high morSiity which
was incapable Of aocommodat to. circum-

: He never suffered his own convenience Or
inclination to interfere with what he con-
sideredright.n He was the most affable and
amiabls of, men, He was studiously con-
siderate Of the feelings of others, and rarely
alloweda expression to escape him which
could wound the most, sensitiye, nature.
His selfrespect led him to demand of Others
the same evsn-handed Justice which he &C,
corded to them He was also man ofrare
purity of heart; modest as girl, his inter-
course with the world had left him singu-
1arly uucontaminated. g & >-~
intellectually his predominant, trait was
an ardent love Of truth. Upon the partic-
ularso of his last days do mot propose to
dwell. 1t has too recently passed, to speak
of it with composure. From the time he
was wounded, he himseffwas assured of its
fatal termination, but for him death, bad no,
tsrrors. Across the gathering gloom Of The
present his eye OF faith saw clearly the ever
lasting brightness Of the future expanding
as be neared, increasing ever, from glory to
glory, till the luminous heaven received
him and set the bright barrier of stars be-
tween him and friends. We sorrow not as
those without hope, but still our wailing to
listen to the voice from heaven, saying
"Blessed are the dead, who die in the
Lord" .---
ssMy friend is dead.' All bitter words,
They fill my heart with gloom,
For well Iloved the friend who sleeps,
Within the silent tomb,
He was the friend Of childhoods years,
Then young hearts were free,
And knew no care or hardening fear,
Or sorrow yet to be.
The world to us, was but one ray
Of sunshine glad and clear,
And oft together strayed
Through those old woods so dear
When last We met both were men,
And felt that childhoods dreams ta1 fed
And now to-day they come to me
And say my friend Is dead.
Dead! No, he sleeps the quiet sleep!
From which he will awake,
When Jesus comes with angel host
That slumbsr deep to break,
Then shall his own immortal soul =.
Meet with the angel throng,
Who round Jehosah's lofty throne ssrxA sd
All sing the heavenly song.
Farewell my friend, thy tolls are osr,
Nomors earth We'll meet,
Yet ever shall thy image dwell
Within my hearts retreat,
And though proud fame my brow may darkl
And crown my humble head.
Yet will my heart, forever mourn,
For the loved friend, that's dead
