were "Put mo out of sight" and il il said
that he was constantly mutteriug, towards
his latter end, those lines of Pope:
4" Let me live unseen, unknown,
And unlamcnted let me die.
Nor mound, nor monument, nor stone,
Tell where lic."
His death was quiet aud painless, after
year of acute physical and mental suffering.
lie was q strict churchman! a man of quiet
manners a handsome declaimer, and fair
scholar. lie was never wealthy. and il is
understood that he left his family without
an independence.
The time has como when the circum-
stances of his last illness and death, with
the occasion that suddenly convulsed q
frama from perfect health into wreck, and
mere shadow. may be mentioned as an his
torical fact. William l.. Yancy camo to his
end by violence. 1t was toward the close
of the second session of the first Confeders

sells and influence of Mr.. Davis, and became,

opposition. Mr.. Ben. Hill, Senator from
Georgia, had likewise changed his 'front.'

been given but late in the day. Mr.. Iancy,
it will be remembered, had returned from

was representing Alabama In the Confeder-

The question of navy was under dis.
cussion in secret session. The debate

Messrs. Yancy aud Hill became animated

and the divinity of slavery. High words
passed, and finally the lie was given by
Mr.. Hill. Mr., Yancy leaped forward, and
as he aimed u blow at his adversary, was
caught in the arms Of tlio latter and yio-
lently thrown back over desk. Mr.. Hill
is a man of wonderful muscular develop
ment. Mr. Yancy was never very heavy,

spine was seriously injured and when the
