TO reach and maintain n high standard of ex-
cellence and he justly excited by these
qualities of mind and heart, and by his I'M
bemishcd private life, the afectionate adj
mration and esteem of all classes of people.
And thus he passes into history with the
loving remembrance of his friends, of his
State, and Of his country, who will associ-
ate his worthy name with all the amenities
of intercourse, and of the onward progress
of the great events Of his time.
In his allotted place he makes up one of
the great company of men whose lives have
been bright examples for our admiration
and imitation. We trace the history of the
farmers boy, or the mechanics son up the
rugged steep of fortune, and rejoice over
the course (our country's republican glory)
of the poor doctors self reliant son work
ing his way alone to the height ofciyil great
ness, teaching the valuable lesson, fraught
with courage and constancy to every call
ing that neither humbleness of BIRTH nor
absence of fortune nor distance Of oppor-
tunity, is sufficient to curb the expanding
force of talent and persistent industry arm
ed and purified by virtue. But as the high
counsel
"Tu ne cede mails sed contra unnedtior
ito"
could be addressed to the true mariner on
ly, it is the brave and patient alone who
can profit by such examples.

Death of JOhn Van Bureu.

New York, October Is, 1866.
The death of John Van Buren, is the prin-
cipal event Of the week. He died on board
of the Scotia on Sunday and his funeral
will take place to morrow at Grace Church.
The remains are badly decomposed so that
the usual exhibition OF the lace will have to
be omitted.
John Van Buren, was one Of our failures.
He was richly endowed with intellect he
had the best opportunities for culture his
relationship to the President gave him the
advantages of social position and twenty
years ago he had apparently the brightest
future before him of any man in the State.
William II. Seward found it necessary to go
into retirement; and the fortunes Of Silas
Wright were on the wane. But Mr.. Van
Buren, trifed with the opportunities thus
placed in his way he was not morally equal
to the eXigency; and so, after Il few years
above the political horizon, he sank to a low

A Sad History.

A fiery flood is sweeping over the land
carrying devastation everywhere, and num-
