DEATHS.

IN MEMORANDA the 9th day
of May, 1872, as the sun was at high
noon, death entered the beautiful retreat
in Jefferson county, w. Va, known rs
"Rocklaud," the home Of the family of
our friend, Col. John f.. Schhy. His
youngest son-a youth of 10 summers,
closed months Of acute suffering and fol-
asleep in Christ. joins EDWARD ScRLEr
was no ordinary young man, either
morally or intellectually. Beloved by
the entire community for combination
of noble qualities of mind and soul he
possessed three characteristics which
attracted general observation and won
the commentator of all acquainted
with HIM These were his maturity of
Judgment for his age,-his remarkable
natural purity of character, and his es-
tablished personal piety in early years.
Eight months before Gods hand signed
his release from keen pain .7dopose ana
CarccinomaiY tumors began todevelop
in the region of the abdomen. As these
progressed towards q fatal issue, his
physical agony became more ana more
severe and continuous. For his relief,
every remedy was tested, and the most
distinguished physicians of Baltimore
and West Virginia consulted; but the
complications of his disease batfied med
zeal skill and scientific treatment. BE
holding the dreams of his early man
hood dissolving-all his life plans with
ering in the bud-and the prospective
severance of tender bonds binding him
to devoted parents, six aftectionate sis
tiers and an only brother, he yet main
tanned triumphant confidence in the wis
dom and goodness of God, and without
a murmur against the mystery of the
providence that marked him for ali ear
" grave, endured patiently his cruel
! fying pains. Who wonders that amid
the concoursc who paid the tribute of
their presence and sympathy on the oc
cason of his burial, the aged men ofthe
community were found
For this dear youth Death had no
terrors. Ia the rough husk Of corporeal
anguish he discovered the golden fruit
of intimate soul-cOmmunion with God.
Early and submissive he acquiesced In
that strange decree that has doomed all
living things 10 the eharnel. Brayely
and without shrinking he trod tho
thorn-road, pressed by the feet Of Jesus,
and thus attaining the summit of tho
Mount Of Vision, he looked over tho
river into the landUf Beulah. Consent
ing to the Divine discipline that bore
him crownward he could sing
Nearer my God TO Thee
Nearer 10 Thee,
Fen though it be q CROSS
That rJI.eth me-"
Death came to him at last, gently,
and AZ softly az weary winds expire be
entered the waiting chariot. May the
household be found undivided when the
gates of pearl enclose Heavens full mum
