On the 10th Feb, 1865, at his residence, "Ev-

STUMP, son Of the late Thomas c. Stump, in the
oath year of his age.
Upon recording the above announcement it is
fitting that We should make some additional re-
marks, as brief notice of his state of mind dur
ing his last days may prove consoling and in
structng to his sorroWing friends. He had long
been aware that his days were numbered and
for three weeks prior to his decease he spoke
freely of his impending dissolution, and dstribu-
ted mementoes among his attendants and friends.
He said that he had often thought it was hard
that he should die so young bht now he no Ion
ger questioned the designs of Providence, but
submitted without murmur, believing that it was
for the hest.
In speaking to the writer of his approaching
death, about ten days before the occurrence of
that event. he remarked that his mind was en-
tirely easy, and said that he believed he had act
ed his part in this life according to the talents
which God had given him and on the same oc-
cason he repeated the lines of Bryant in IA most
impressive manner, showing plainly that he hid
long been familiar with the idea as well as the
language -
$50 live, that when thy summons comes to join
The nnumcrab!c caravan, that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls OF death,
Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon but SUSTAINED and
sooth'd
By an unfalterng trust, approach thy grave,
Like one that draws the drapery of his couch.
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams"
In his last hours when he was momentariy
expecting his death, in reply to question as to
whether his mind was still at ease, in view of
the future, he assured the writer that it was, and
added with display of animation 'Let my
friends not grieve at my death, for die perfectly
contented and happy" This thought, indeed,
is c9nsoling to those that survive; yet although
we know that he did not go
-'like the quarry slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon"
STILL alas we know that he has concur
friend our brother is gone! and that we will see
him no more in this life, and often by our fire.
sides
ave shall meet but we shall miss him,
There will be one vacant chair
We will linger to caress him
When we breathe our evening prayer"
He was a libera-heartcd man, and a true
friend, and his death occasions vacancy which
will long be felt by many. Adieu, dear friend
thou art gone forever from mortal vision, but
long will your llemory dwell in our hearts

Popular Gifts to Popular Men.

We have received several more FIVE cent
pieces (paper currency towards the sub
scription for that elegant copy Of "Col-
burns Primary Arithmetic" to be pre-
scented to Provost Marshal General Fry.
Public spirit is evidently awakened on
this patriotic subject, and we have no
doubt that before the draft comes off we
shall have received quite handsome sum,
probably two dollars and eighty,seven
cents. This mode of making suitable pres
ents to distinguished men accords with
the popular idea of the day. Some time
ago few gentlemen of this city, w. Ii.
Aspinwall, San Barlow, August Belmont,
and some other stockholders in oil COM
panies, presented General Mcclellan with
u fine house. The friends of Gen. Sher-
man are about to give him a house in Gin
cinnati The admirers of General Grant
have donated him a splendid mansion in
Philadelphia; and Admiral Farrsgut is to
have magnificent house in this city,
We are glad that the metropolis has been
chosen ass the location Of this gift; for
New York is just the place for the Old
Salamander. This subscription. then,

yost Marshal General Fry-a substantial
because most useful presents quite
in keeping with the spirit of the age, and
we have an idea of ia king advantage of the
public generosity at the present time, by
receiving subscriptions for tombstone to
General Butler. We see no particular
objection to it, although, perhaps, it might
have bceu expected that his friend, the
other BeL-Hon. Ben Wood-should
have originated the thing. Gen. Butler
has himself furnished the epitaph for his
tombstone so that there will be no difficult
ty about that, and then the mystery con-
corning the meaning of his initials.
some people foolishly imagining that B.
f. stood for Benjamin Franklin-will
be all cleared up, when there will be beau
tifully inscribed on the tombstone the name
so commemorative of the great deeds of the
hero who slumbers beneath-"Sacred to
the memory of Bethel Fisher Butler"
There are good many other generals,
too, who need tombstones There is Gen.
Tom Foard, who gave up Harper's Fer
ny, and others. If any one can suggest
any other generals in need of tombstones
we hope they will send in their names
and we will open subscription lists at once.
We take it that there are plenty of Gener.
ais now who want tombstones more than
houses.-Ne,o York Herald

AUCTION OF PEws.-Religion, in its
varying manifestations, comes down to the
same practices, if we examine it carefully.
The Protestant Reformation began with
the abuse of the sale of indulgences, but
church-lotteries are now common with
most of our denominations. Many fine
ediices in Europe were constructed from
the proceeds of butter allowed to be eaten
during Lent; and in this country, as well,
We have fine parsonages donated by ecclesi.
astical rafiies and games Of chance. Auc-
tionccrs harangue as frequently in the
pulpits Of late as the clergymen them
selves, and it is not uncommon for the
purchaser of pew to buy it at an enor-
nous figure, as business advertisement.
Five hundred dollars were paid, fort
night ago, in a certain Brooklyn chapel
for the choice of pew, in addition to the
regular rent therefor. All this, of course,
was duly published i'll the daily papers,
and the price of piety made the means of
commerce. 1t is fact more humorous
than sad, that thus we worship for bust
ness's sake, and business, after all, is our
fondest worship.-New York Mercury.
