OBITUARY.

CHARLEY WALTON STEWART, youngest son
of DR.. Geo. W. Stewart, of Madison county
Mississippi, died on Thursday evening the
9Th of November, 1866, aged years and
months.
Charley was, in some respects, remark
able boy. Though not very fond of study
ing books himself, he was singularly anxious
to become acquainted with their contents
and scarcely ever tired of listening to the
reading of interesting books. He often
asked his mother to read to him the beauti-
full historical sketches contained in the Holy
Book, and for his age was uncommonly well
informed in Bible history and biography
His fonduess for hearing the Bible read was
indeed quite surprising in child of less
than nine years Charley was the darling of
his mother, and the pet of the entire family.
His sudden and unexpected removal could
not be otherwise than most deeply distress
ing to them yet their sorrow should find
some alienation in the fact, that while he
has thus escaped the untold evils which
might have beset his future here, he has
entered the earlier upon the eternal inheri-
TANGO of the saints in heaven. There the in
habitant shall no more say ~ am sick
