daughter, Anna, was standing weeping
by his side, he stretched out his hand,
and caught hers, and said, several
times, "God bless you my daugh-
ter"
He then began to tell of those whom
he should meet in heavcn-our little
son and Bro. Stewart, and many 9th
ers. He then said he wanted to talk
to us more, and did not think it would
hurt him to do so, but as we thought
he should be quiet, he would not talk
any more. He then composed himself
to sleep after bidding us all good night
and kissing us all. He slept some at
intervals, until after midnight, and
then began to be restless, and his mind
to wander. His right hand, and arm,
too, became paralyzed, so that he
could not move it, and his pain in
creased. Sometimes he appeared quite
deliriOus, and thought those around
him were trying to injure him, but
these paroXysms did not continue long
and he then lay quiet. During the
whole day on Sabbath he lay quiet,
appeared to know US all, but did not
speak except when asked a question,
and then only yes or no. He appeared
to suffer a great deal, and strange
twitching commenced in the paralyzed
arm, which was very painful and weari-
some to him, and we feared it would
end in convulsions. On Sabbath
night his sufferings increased, and the
whole night was one of intense suffer
ing; his whole body appeared to be
convulsed, and would often cry ont in
his agony, BLESSED Savior,' Dear
Jesus" On Monday morning, he still
knew me, but was suffer ing so much
that he couldn't talk Very early, be-
fore it was light, Mr. Woodside, who
sat with him during the night, went
for the doctor, and he came and imme-
diately gave him chloroform to ease
his sufferings, with directions to give
it whenever those convulsive sufferings
returned. 1t was given five or six
times during the day, and from that
time he was never conscious; the sleep
became deeper and deeper, until it be
came coma, and the heavy breathing
and quick pulse were the only signs of
life. He continued IN this state until
Wednesday, the 4th of October, when,
about eleven o'clock. the breath ceased
without struggle, and the freed spir-
it passed away to that blessed world,
where mo ''sin," ''no pain" ''no death, !"
can ever enter. His face had, before
his death, an expression of pain and
distress, but that all passed away, and
a sweet smile, such as he often wore
when living, overspread his counte-
nance. He was taken down the next
day and laid in the burial ground in
Dehra, as he had requestcd--'In that
lovely valley, in sight of &hese beauti-
full mountains"
He often spoke of his friends at
home, and said, if it was the Lords
will, he would love to take his family
and visit them all once more, and sec
our beloved native land but he felt
perfect submission to his Fathers will
