by careful and assiduous study, he had
secome an adversary to contend against
at the Bar, of more than ordinary ability.
Few men could advocate the cause of their
clients. with more zeal and eloquence
than he. tr.
But l need not attempt TO enlarge IN
this, upon what You have already said for
him.
His place is vacant! Death is no res
pecter of persons. The high and the low,
the good and the true, must all bow alike
to his scepter. His unsparing hand must
even smlte this brother whom to know
was to love.
Yet we cannot say that his death was
unexpected. In his life we could see that
trail tenement held noble soul. that
struggled to be free oven while he walked
in our midst, engaged, even too faithfully,
in the earnest. active duties of life. We
could not resist the conclusion, as We
looked upon him, that death would soon
claim him for his own.
But we must not neglect the lesson that
| his death teaches us. 1t is but another
warning that our lives must have an
ending.
Let us then take warning, and study
more earnestly, more deeply the lesson of
life. Give the more earnest heed to its
higher purposes and nobler aims.
Labor more zealously to attain that pu-
rity of life and conduct, that will enable
us, like our brother, to be ready to stand
before the Bar of God, with the assurance
from Him that our work is accomplished
and our lives approved.

The New Bounty Decision.

The New Bounty Decision.
The recent decision in the Supreme
Court Of the United States in the case of
the United States Us. Hosmer. has raised
quite an excitement and caused not q
little rejoicing among the early soldiers of
the war. Hitherto. soldiers, to receive
the 500 bounty, had to prove that they
had served two consecutive years. This
worked serious injustice to all who had
served a less period of time, and SO mani
fest was it's error that the Supreme Court
in its recent decision-rendered the 18th
ult.-removes the proviso, and rules that
all soldiers who enlisted between May Sd,
1861, and July 22d, 1861, for three gears,
and were honorably discharged, are en-
titled to the bounty, and will receive it on
application. That is good news for large
number Of the boys once in blue, to whom
this 500 plum, in the present scarcity Of
cash, win prove quite sweet. We make
prominent mention OF thi. ninLtcr, to the
end that all the soldier readers of the Re.
oister may be apprised oft. Parties hav.
ing soldier friends who do not stake the
papers" will do kindness by calling
their attention to the 800 in store fol

and while he labored with zeal and
skill for the interest o. his client, he
was at tho same time an honorable,
honest, manly opponent. He sell
dom if ever descended to artifice of
any character to gain a cause, his
motto was to stand or fall upon the
merits of his case. As an advocate
he was the equal of any with whom
he practiccd. As an orator, l may
say, with out doing injustice to those
who remain, that he excelled us all.
With talent Of the highest order, he

that we should no more meet him in
honorable and friendly contest for the
mastery, that he should no longer be
with us and one ofus, that we should
never again feel the warm pl essure of
his hand, or pursue with him some
innocent pastime. How many of us
were prepared to realize that his lips
were sealed in death, his kind heart
silent and still, and the hand, that
we had so often grasped in friendship,
was paralized by the dread destroy

Death found him ready and willing
to go, and though in the prime oflife,
and in the vigor of intellectual man

of leaving his wife and children. To
him death had no terrors, the grave
no fears.

that sooner or later we must all GO

that we, like him, must cross thu

A Friend Above ALI Others,


We all have within our breasts o
desire to love and TO be loved, to
have a "bosom" friend, one that we
may confide in, friend that will be
true though all the world should be
against us, one that will sympathizo
with US when we are called to pass
through the deep waters ofafiiction
and trial, when the whole world APP
pears cold and dark, yet that friend
is with us always cheering our faint
ings hearts. And now comes the
enquiry where shall this faithful and
true friend be found? Where in all
this wide universe shall this friend
be? Not here! Not here The winds
repeats the echo: Not here! Not
here! We seek through this wide
world in vain and at last we
say not here! But there is friend,
friend that loves us and will be
faithful unto the end, friend that
wcmay put eur trust in. We may tell
him all our sintulncss. We'may tell
him all the grievances that the hui
man family is heir to. He hears us and
comforts US and sends the sweet mes
senger Of peace to our broken hearts
GA broken and a contrite heart he
will not despise." Oh, it is glori-
GUS thought that there is one that
loves us, even JESUS. Oh, we should
never think that there is none that
loves us; and yet when the dark
clouds arise in our moral skies, how
prone we are to doubt. Oh, those
doubling hearts of ours, when Jesus
says he will "ncUer leave nor forsake
us" it is he that will stand by us
through adversely as well as pros
perity, and at last bring us to chat
rest that remaincth tor the people of
God" Il. A: Ii.
