stood well the responsibility of virtuous
life, felt the full force of moral obligation,
and was earnest and faithful in the per-
Torrance OF all apparent duty. His con-
victions were clear and decided, and he was
firm AID persistent In their maintenance.
Positive In Judgment, prompt in action,
he went bravely forward in the accom-

constitutional traits gave to his character
an integrity that no one ever questioned.
They held him SO rigidly-eo what he be
lieved to be right, that his frmpess had at
times the appearance of mere obstinacy -
He could not be shaken from a position
which met the approval OF his own mind
by either hope or fear, by threats or prom.

movable in all the purposes of life. He was
q man of honor. He moved along high,
independent and fearless plane of thought.
feeling and action. He could stoop 10
nothing low or vile. Anything little or
mean was thoroughly scorned by him. He
may have erred In judgment. and wronged
a man by unjust suspicious, but his nature
was always true to the highest type OF
manhood. He was a true Christian. Pro-
Tossing religion early in life, he Joined the
Methodist Church, and was an acceptable

around him a host of devoted friends. The
vast crowd that attended his funeral, black
and white, and of all nationalities, showed
how strong he was in the affection of the
people. All ranks and conditions OF men
sought to give some evidence of their
friendship for him. He was great sufferer.
In the sickness that Immediately pre-
coded his death, he had frequent parox-

scription; but he was patient under these
deep Affections. He bore them without
murmur. Even iutnoments OF delirium,
when physical agony bewildered the mind

lips. He died well. In the intervals of
pain he spoke freely of his spiritual condi-

hope were strong and bright. To his wife,
with whom he had long lived in great ten
derness and affection, he spoke of his
speedy release from suffering, and OF soon

the hearthstone Of home is now singing
Gods glorious anthems. We would not
call her back, her anguish has resigned US.
Had wOmanhood dswned upon her, per-
haps she would hsvelost some other guile
less nature, her purity OF interest. AS 1t is
we know her baby soul is safe at home in
those blue halls OF glory. The little jewel
was but lent to those idolizing parents,
and to allure them from earth he has
placed 1t on high. Though We have laid
yon away ULAH, we can never forget you.
You have twined yourself too tenderly and
lastingly around our hearts 10 admit of

loving link between us and those fair up

We will meet you tosay
