Of our acquaintance with him. we have ever found

lost valuable officer and and an cstimablo citizen
In his death good man has been laid low, and the
tears that fall upon his bier, well up from hearts
that testify to his intrinsic worth as a husband,
a father, citizen and Christian.

But the fiery thought and the lony will

They shall soar his might above
And thus with the roat whence affection springs
Though buried, il is not Of mortal things
Thou art the victor, Lotel
