!. We would fain speak of him who hs
gone IN bis relations as a man, citizen,
: husband, father and a friend, but th
ground is too sacred for this occasion
and we will only say that, he was courte
ous, loyal, and kind ever ready and willin
to devote his time, his strength and hi
!, talents, to every good word and worl
which commended itself to his judgmen
and his sense of right
He was sound patriot and an arden
lover OF bis country, and when the rebel
lion broke upon us, he aided with voic,
and pen IN raising men at home and en-
oouraglng and sustaining those in tn,
field, and many time has he told mt
that, it was the great mistake and regret
of his whole life, that he did not ente,
the service, and aid his country in the
field.
But when the war was ended, and the
authority and integrity of the govern.
ment restored, he was not one of those
who allowed their venom and hatred to
follow the poor deluded rebel beyond the
confines of the tomb. and who was indig-
nant because wild flowers should happen
to bloom upon his grave, but was wont to
say that, he "had malice towards none,
that it was war then, it is peace now.
God had given US the victory; let us show
our gratitude to Heaven by acts of ham
anity and forgiveness, instead of barbar-
ity and cruelty
But the alarm has again been given at
the outer door of our lodge, and the circle
Is again broken another of our number
has been called home, while we are left
TO close up the ranks and continue the ad-
vance. His work is done, nebly, WORTH
ly done. Among the pines in yonder
beautiful cemetery, on a gorgeous sum-
mer eve, we laid him down to rest, where
the winds from his own loved hills shall
forever chant a solemn requiem above his
grave In peace let him rest, for "after
life's fitful fever he sleeps WE'LL"
But he Is not dead bat only gone be.
fore, for as the great poet has so beauti-
fully said,
'To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die
This is a providence and lesson we
shall all do we'll to heed it reminds us
again, "what shadows we are and what
shadows we pursue;" and that while
to-day, in conscious strength |
and security, we are in fact, as feeting |
and unsubstantial as the shadows of the |
cloud that flies over the f9lds, and is re-
membered no more.
Let us then honor and initiate his viz
tues, while we bury his frailties and his
oibles in the grave where he lies, and so
live, that 1T last, when the summons shall
come, we shall be prepared to render a
good account of our stewardship, and re-
GIVE from the Master the welcome plaud-
+ "Wcll done good and faithful ser.
