little narrow hall to take a last look at the
face of one who had been friend to all who
knew him.
The corpse was dressed in suit of black,
His features seemed as natural as though he
was Just going to speak, and but few dry eyes
left the hall. Upon the rosewood coffin was
neat silver plate, with the inscription
HON. JOHN CovODE.
Died January IL, 1871.
Aged 02 years.
The services were opened by singing the
well-known hymn Crock of Ages" A fer
vent prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. Boyle,
of Fairfield, and Rev. Mr.. Walker then
preached a short sermon on the dispense
tions of Providence spoken to us in our
daily life, and besought his hearers to follow
the Divine injunction and watch, for they
know not at what hour the bridegroom
cometh; for, as the Scripture was written
hundreds of years ago, so it is taught us to-day
to more fully impress upon our minds to set
our house in order and be always ready
Rev. Mr.. Boyle then made some eloquent
remarks upon the deceased, whose 'lifes bat
tie was over" He spoke of him as an ardent,
devoted friend, as any one whom he was
acquainted with will rise up and testify to
here in this valley where he was known SO
we'll. An ardent friend, he was also an
earnest worker who has written his
history on the pages of Ills country,
and who did what he could with his
whole soul. GAS laborer or as a represen-
tative in the halls of Congress, he was never
indolent; he never lost any time, but was
always employed for the good of his family,
bis people, and his country" His we're the
works that go to make great men. His great
ness cropped out everywhere; he was not
great in but one thing, but in all; and to-day
we live in a country where none are born
great, but where any man may achieve great
ness.
He spoke of the generous manner in which
his political opponents now came forward to
testify to their admiration for the man, and
closed with a fervent prayer for the family
and friends. A benediction, asked by Rev.
MIR. Graham, ended the exercises, and the
Congressional pall-bearers bore the corpse to
the hearse, and then the long, sad procession,
over mile in length, followed it to the
little old church yard where his first wife
and elder daughter and first-born son (Colo.
mel Covode) are sleeping their last sleep.
