words of divine wisdom, "Surely man walketh
in vain show, surely man is disquieted in
vain"

State has lost one of its most hon
orable and energetic and able mem
bers. who for more than twenty years has
applied himself with an intelligent and upri ght
zeal to the duties of his high profession, the
satisfaction of his clients and to the courts
before which he has practised, and which have
frequently acknowledged the great assistance
they have derived from his arguments.
RESOLVED, That in the departure of our brother
and friend the poor have lost friend who was
friend in need; the church and institutions
of learning defender and supporter; the
community conservative and wise
citizen, and the family gener
husband, whose place can never be filled.
ReSolUed, That in their bereavement ten
der to the members of his family our sincere
coincidence and sympathy, and commend then
to Him who alone is always a friend to the
widow and the fatherless.

this tribute to his memory
The autumn leaves die Spring reproduce

The death of an eminent citizen is always

Morris Lamprey distinguished and r.
spected citizen of this city. He came to S
Paul in 1855. Born in the granite State of Ne
Hampshire, poor boy, his own nature SCENE
to have been inspired by the frmness an
steadiness OF his own native mountains.
His boyhood was almost manhood, He lear1
ed, in classic old Dartmouth, the ambition of
student, and taught school to get the means t
learn, and to succeed in the West. He did SUI
ceed and died at the age of 81 the most SUI
cessful lawyer in Minnesota.
Mr.. Lamprey was pre-eminently bushes
man. His clients were the best business me
in the State. As lawyer con
ing to St. Paul, scarcely of ag
he sprang into practice that ga,
him little time for deep, careful, legal study
His business pressed on him. He never nes
lected any mans business. He was man
resistless, good humor; he never yielded to i,
suits: his superior nature rose above; he was
lawyer of boundless industry; he gave b
days to work and his nights to study. He al
peared to have caught the spirit of Chief Ju
tice Story's advice to young lawyers, approach
