And as he falls, he thus shall rise.
a faithful servant, to the skies.
True affection is not a product Of the will.
1 is a quality of the human soul that is de-
vcloleG in proportion to the value of the OBJ
ject on which it operates. Hence, when men
OF moral worth and intellectual ability are as
ISOLATED together for the purpose of attaining
greater cmincncc of character, and qualifying
themselves to become efficient in the world
as bcncfactors of the human race, each be-
comes, ut the same time, surprisingly both
the admired and the admiror Of the other
mutual in their sympathics, equal in their
hopes, equal III their fears.
4 student of such sterling worth we rccoG-
nizc in the person of Edward S. Scott, who,
prompted by the love of learning, manfully
struggled to reach the highest excellence in
his intellectual pursuits; winning and main
tanning the most honored position in his class
until graduation, when " he bore his hlushing
honors thick upon him.

ously laborcd in Florida, have lost an accom-
plshcd teacher, n friend, and fellow-citi-
