OB NTgjA U Y.

Still little wlle and all who tread this sad
Earth must sleep beneath its sod. The gay.
the gravc.-thc rich, the poor,-and all that is
virtue and beauty must succumb to the eternal
fiat
Mr.. Sam. C. MACPHERSON, aged 63 years, died
on the 18th inst. After a well spent life. he
sleeps calmly the rcpose of the blessed.
Friends and family regret his call from among
them, and void in their affections will not be
easily filled. A man true to love and to honor,
Just to his felow-lnan, and enjoying general
esteem, his memory will be an evergreen in the
hearts of all who knew him in life. May his
repose be happily eternal! ~"
