has gone before. His life to us is like
an oasis in the desert of time, which
an eternity will not obliterate. We
mingle our tears with those loved ones
whose burdens are heavy and hard to
bear, and with the widow and orphans,
bow In humble submission to the will
Of the Almighty, assured that "He,
who tempers the winds to the shorn
lamb,n will abide with the widow and
the fatherless, and we would now in
trude upon the sanctity of the ireside
of the bereaved ones, as they are weep
ing and mourning for him they love,
to offer the consolation of the glo-
rious promise in the hereafter, where
there is no separation from those we
love-a life eternal:
Be IL resolved, That in the death of
the Hon. E. p. johnson the territory of
Wyoming has sustained an irreparable
loss, the legislature of Wyoming a wise
and prudent counsellor, n wife and
child a loving husband and a faithful
guardian. And be it further
