A dear son, an affectionsts brother .

Of tears, to that brighter world above.
where tribnlatiop aud sorrow never on.
ter. Oh for language adequate TO an
expression Of the poignant grief, the
heartfelt sorrow of those who are left
to mourn tho loss Of one whose estima. !;
BILE qualities endeared him to all, =
In the prime Of life, at an age when
manhood is in its vigof for those who
enjoy the blessing Of health, our friend
was made the victim of that terrible
disease Spotted Fever, and during an
illness ofsome weeks, he lay in a state
of Inconsistencies until on Wednes-
day previous to his death, when he
seemed for a time TO regain sensibili-
ty, and was apparently conscious that
death was near, he then recognized
and bidakindly farewell to his friends,
and during that interval of conscious
ness, he gave expression to a happy
confidence in, and firm reliance upon
the atoning merits Of a Sayior's re-
deeming love; he gave his friends con-
Isolng and comforting assurances that
in dying hour, he was being support
ed by Power Divine, and that he was
sustained by the cheering hope that
when his spirit took its fight from its
mortal tenement and earthly surround.
Eings, it would only bo to find an eter.
nal resting place in climes Of blissfuli
Immortality that he would only sx.
change world of carcfor ono Of end.
less rest that what he lost here By
laying down his lifo inoits prime, was
as naught when compared with what
he would gain when he reached his
Fathershouse. i-s }isi'.1.l

thisvale of tears, beyond these do
mains of sorrow, there are realms Of
eternal bliss for the careworn pilgrims
