and brother-whatlha hall l say OF the be-

sojourned here witffriends and Kindred?

And others linge still below

A @ q. .sbGs,aa, an Sifiectionate father,
a kind niaster, aEbonevolent and sincere
friend-alas WHO can but mourn the
loss of such man. His virtues all as
sumed form so, active and prominent
that it is difficult to single any one that
outvied the othersin excellence. Yet if
one stood pre- eminent it was the sweet,
vet sublime spiri Of the Peacemaker.
In each and ever contention between
friend and broth}r, whether great or
small, his judgrndit was eagerly sought
and his voice off Misdom and kindly
counsel, was ever heard with such rever-
cnce and love, thatthe" troubled waters
of disturbance soh yielded to the calm

The heartfelt Iiessure of his cold and
