ARCHIBALD VAUGHAN.
j. D. D.

The secular papers of week before last contained
announcement of the death of the venerable
Archibald Vaughan, of Charlotte county, Va, and
the impression produced by the sad tidngs has been
one of profound sorrow among the many who knew,
aud honored, and loved him.
The removal of such a man is more than family
bereavement-more than grief to personal friends.
For when one whose character was so symmetrical,
and whose influence ever cast the side of
truth and right, and whose whole life was beauti-
ful commentary on the Psalmists prayer, Let in
tegvity and uprghtness preserve me, is removed
from the world, then good men have cause to mourn,
and the loss is one which the entire community must
depore.
IL was Mr.. Vaugban's privilege in early youth to
be guided by the example and teachings of men
whose Memories are still honored in our Church,
aud it doubtless due to these sauary influences
that those habits of order, punctuaity and persever
ing industry were formed, which laid the foundation
Of his subsequent exemplary and useful life.
Born in the county OF Charlotte in 1889, he was
connecting link between our generation and one OF
more purity aud fidelity in commercial and official
life. For thirty years he was merchant at Char
otte G. H.. aud for twentyeght years Cashier of the
Farmers Bank of Farmville, Prince Edward Co.
These 6fty.eght years of active business life illus
trated and scrupulous integrity which was not
only untarnished but never even questioned Such
his generosity aud kindness OF heart that in his
readiness TO Obhge and assist others he did not ad
vance his own interests as he might have done With
business talents and habits such as his, he might
easily have accumulated wealth, had he chosen to
lake advantage of his opportunities; but in his I'M
selfish regard tor the interests of others he never
sought obtained more than competency for
hlmseE
In social intercourse Mr.. Vaughan was character
lied by trankness modesty and unvarying courtesy.
be was as gentle and delicate in feeling as he was
robust in form; and while of noble presence, and
digniGed and manly in his bearing, he was at the
same time retiring in his manners, and utterly free
from all disposition to attract attention to himself.
In domestic life he was singularly happy 1t was his
privilege to see son an hOnored and useful minis
ter of the gospel, and cSildrens children, full of
promise, growing up around him to cheer and com
fort HIM by their dutul affection in the decline of
life. be was man OF prayer, and made 1t his chief
aim Ito do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly
with Cod
The termination Of his life was as tranquil as its
tenor had been. While sitting in his chair and
calmly conversing with his friend and physician, he
suddenly ceased TO breathe, and thus without psin,
or the WEAKNESS and waste of long illness, he fell
asleep, having nearly attained the S4th year of his
honored and useful life.

which il does its work, aud its comparative cheap

HARD TIMESl HARD TINES II is the univer-
sal cry among our Southern farmers. Although we
are receiving daily large number of new subserib
ers the common testimony of our friends is that
there would be a still greater number but for the
scarcity Of money. Many would like to take the
Planter and Farmer, but "cannot spare the two
dollars" We were anxious that every one might
have who really desired it, and for that reason
have reduced the price to ONE DOLLAR AND A HALF a
year.
We now make the following Improbable low offer,
that it may be within the reach of every Three
years ago the price was So year. We now propose
to send it from LIST of April to January, 1874 nine
months, for only ONE dollar.
