 "Cam the bosom of thT God
 Fair spirit rest thee now.
 Eyn while with us thy fuo5tep. trod,
 Ills seal was on thy brow.
 Dust to it's narrow house beneath,
 soui. to its place on high
 They that have sen thy look in death,
 No more may fear to uie
 There is bliss there biiss in the regions above; They have opened the gates of the sky A spirit hath s)ared to those mansions If love, And seeks for admtsnce on high. And friends long divided are hasng to greet To a land where no sorrow may come, And the seraphs eager hester to meet, /And to welcome the child to its home" /At the residence of E. R. Fulbright, in Carroll county, Ark, on the l7th of July, lS62. WILLIAM HENRY WHITE. IND6xEDI | He was on his way from the army of the Con federate troops in Mississippi, to the State of Mis- souri, having connected himself with Col. Camp ! bells Partisan Rangers intending to annoy and | discomft the enemy that has desoated our homes, and our many thrones of affection dismantled d- I The fatigue of the campaign, we suppose, brought ! on the attack, add stopping at MT Fulbrights as a kind of foreign home; lie had been sick about one week when the destroyer came to summon him | away.
 Although he died in strange land, away from mother sister or brother, vet they who ministered to his dying wants and watched llte's htful fever ebb away, were not careless strangers or idle spec fators; they were those who have known him from | his childhood, and loved him d brother. The | family, under whose roof he sheltered, has done noby-bestowing, with alacrty, mothers and sisters tenderness and fathers and brothers care. Long and gratefully will they be remem- bered for their attention to our sick.
 At the hour of his death Heurys mind was un couded. He desired to bid his friends farewell He wished them to come and see him-tenderly he spoke o his home circle-his first concern was ior his mother then his sisters, then his b others. lie said he was not afraid to die.
 Just to his country, as well as true to his friends he has met the enemies of the and the destroyer | of the other-assaling the one as brave man, and encountering the other faithful christian H. met the enemy in the field with composure, and the King of Tcrrors without dismay, But he has fought his last battle; he has received his dis charge; with him the war is over, and the drum has forever ceased to beat. No more will il wake hlm to labor again."
 From infancy to death, he lived christian life He died at his post with his armor on, i'll defenSt of his country and the seroce of his God; but al though dy ing, he conquered through Him that loved us He died the death of the righteous, and his last end was like that of him. H. sank softly tc sleep like one "quietly folding his drapery around him, and lying down to pleasant dreams"
 Having consigned dust to dust and ashes to ashes sadly without drum or farewell shot, we left ir the strangers burying ground, surrounded by tho native wild woods, where the rank thistle mods tt the mountain breeze. There sweet be his rest, anC peace be to his ashes. r. 5. WILKES.
 "How nobly sink the brave to rest,
 By all their countrys wishes blest."
