rsils, 10 rleet upoa the dread change
until the SHADOW Of Death fails darby
across lhsir pathways Though every ia
mullua,lHs sioa Ws zee dancing inahs
air, gilt by the soii gold Of the declining
sun, was oaee part Of a being like your
self, you sport like the failed Norwegian
Slremkerl on the dta,h-ladea waves Of
Tine. II Is a rbaaslsss task 10 calf you
from the gay gardens OF pleasure Il
show you the grim skeleton that Is In A.
tendance at livery earthly ftasii but well
we know that the sad task should sou
times be performed, lest You forget that
Garth Is but a school in which you mus
graduate for an eternity OF bliss, or never
, ending woe. IL Is well tLat you should
sometimes step from the sunlight into the
shadow, and bring home to your soul the
fact, 50 terrible 10 every nn-ChrisIian
man, that no Galen, no Rsculapius, can
cheat tho inevitable and iron hearted
monster of his trembling prey. Earth Is
the broad Kingdom of Dccay-Dcath il
the monatch OF the realm, receiving hi:
diad.m snd scep,rc from omnipOtence, Al
whose irrerersablc dictum tho King Of
Te,rors himself must lilo down in The
voicclcss charnel Of oblivion. We need
not repeat wherefore the worlds innumera
Die dead are tie only perfect republic. On
.hc lap Of Earth all her iunumerable my
RAIDS of dead offspring sleep without dis
tinctiou in Deaths embrace-the beggai
and the king, tho 50 int and the sinner, thu
vcs,al and 'she whose steps take hold OF
hell, the learned sage and the driyelint
! IDIOT, tho beautiful and the unbeautiful
the rich and the poor--in Deaths cham
bers, sleep peacefully side by side, all oh
livious of the lines of demnrcation they 81
scrupulously observed Shen they LIVED
land moved their brief hour upon tn,
surface of this globe of men. 1t is wei
that youth and young men should think o
the grave, whittier all are tending, an,
ever bear in mind tho solemn fact tina
-",heir hearts, though stout and brave
| Still, like mufilcd drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave"
1t is now our sid duty to chronicle tn
mournful fact, that the icy finger of the
Destroyer has touched another pure hear
in our midst, and stil!ed its pulse forever
Mr.. THOMAS +. CRUTCurIELD, one of ou
| most aged best known and most respected
citizens, departed This life, at his late resi-
dencc, on the night of Monday, Feb. 18th
1871, at 81 o'clock aged sixty eight years
After suffering the pangs of prolonge,
and painful illness, lie quietly passe,
away. His faculties were unobscured t
the last.
"There are spirits more blest than tn
| planet of evcu
Who mount to their zenith, then melt int
heaven;
No waniHg Of FIRE, no quenching of roy,
But rising, still ris ns, then passing away.
Such was the end of this good man, VIII
died in the full hope of happiness bcyon
the tomb, and "ihe magnificent pomp Q
the opening Heaven, with the vision Of ID
Cruciied, tranced his wondering sense
into awe" During the latter years Of hi
life he bestowed much care upon foricul
ture, for he evidently considered flower
the poetry of earth as stars are the poetr
Of heaven. The Zenia, Lily, Flowerin
Moss, Nas,urtion, Phlox Drummondii, an
q score Of his other fayorites, will mis-
his tender hand, and drop their stamens |
sorrow, until but faded calyx and wi,here
stem remain but not n flower by Arno
silver tide, or lily on far Scamander
vernal shore, shall greener bloom than tn
unstained memory of this good old gray
haired sire in the hearts of those VIII
knew him. The coffin was attended to tn
church and the grave by a large numte
of our citizens and tho Fraternity OF Cd
Fellcws.~with the beautifuL-ceremonies
whose Ritual The pale sleeper was lai
away in his marrow hOme.D The remark
at the church sere delivered by the Re-
R. W. Thompson, aud We. felt their spiri
and truth, and admired their grace, clio
quence and beauty.
