Dust to Dust-Ashes to Ashes.

Bn: Il few days ago We chrouic?ea
the illness of Or. John T. Darby. To-
day we report his death. That "vital
spark" which We had hoped might again
be famed into life, is gone, aud his
Immortality is no longer here. I6
speak of our feelings in this matter, to
speak of our irreparablo loss, to speak
of his great learning and accomplish
mepts as surgeon and physician, We
will not. as ablcr pens than ours will
perform that duty. We can only pay
our feeble tribute to his memory in this
brief notice, and as the hearse bears to
that last resting place, the cemetery
his mortal remains, we can only feel and
know that the never falling TOMB once
again covers the body Of one who was
eminent in his profession aud great IN
his calling. As the unchecked mon'
arch asserts his uubaff!ed and never fall
;nr sword sgaia, over ability and sc''
cnce, we can but drop tear-bow to
his inexorablc mandates, and say, peace
to his ashes.
