THE services conducted by the hospital
Chaplain, were resumed on the pa inst.
after an inexplicable interval OF several
months. The attendance was large. The
sermon on the occasion was devoted to the
observance of the Sabbath, and especial
reference was made to the sins Of late rising
and luxurious dinners. The soldiers were
remarkably attentive. None can more ap-
preciate.
Without venturing to sermonize, we may
remind the hospital inmates of the bright
side of the sick room here. How eloquent
is the VOICE of nature, ever pointing upward
How grand her tones in the thunder and
storm! How soft and melting in the brill
liant arch, which spans the waters. and tells
US of promise in the future! How speak
ing the waves, and the woods, and the glo-
rious sky! There is a sermon in every
rain drop, and volumes wherever the eye
can rest.

OBITUARY.

Died. near VIcksburg, Miss, on Wednesday
evening. January 2Sth, 1858, NEWTON NJ. GRUBB,
in the 25th year of his age, private in Capt. R.
c. Rowan's Company, Col. j. A. Rowans Regi-
ment East Tennessee Volunteers. Thus has pass
ed away in the very bloom of life and in the pride
of manhood, one of our noblest, bravest, and best
soldiers. Though but short time on the field,
he showed by his daring, courage and bravery,
at the battle of Vicksburg that he would win for
himself if spared, a name immortal laurel
wreath of unfading glory, at the end of this great
conflict, would have crowned his brow-but an
allwise Providence has fit to remove him
from earth. He is gone. The fell destroyer
marked him as his prey. The void he has left
around the family hearthstone none can fill. He
was a loving and dutiful son, Kind and affec-
Tomato brother. aarm and impulsive friend
Many hearts have been saddened by his untimelv
death. But, alas! that grim monster claimed
him as his own-threw his cold icy arms around
him, and he sleeps in his embrace: Sleep on,
brave soldier Friend, sleep on! Though we
deeply mourn your loss, you are free from the
tolls and privations of soldiers life--done with
the busy cares of earth. Though fond father
and almost heart broken mother shed sorrow s
bitter tears over your cold and inanimate clay,
you are sweetly sleeping beneath the sod.
Dear, brave soldier, thou hast left us,
We thy loss most deeply feel,
But tits God who has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal
FRIEND ON FORK CREEK.
