JAMES STANSBURY,
In the Cpd year of his age.


I'm the midst of life we are in death
How we reflect on these words when called TO
record the death of this worthy friend and ever
kind parent. We desire to pay our feeble tribute
of homage to the memory of one who has been so
recently called from among lis by the fiat of Pro-
Nidencc and in so doing we are persuaded that
we do not allow feelings of personal considera-
ton to prevail over the decisions of the seyerest
scrutiny when we assert that no man has exhibit
ed in his life ana conduct more beautiful exam
pie OF honesty and devotion to the obligations of
duty. There is consolation, melancholy indeed
but not the less grateful that account in paving
the last sad tribute of respect to the memory of
one who exhibited in his life so many qualities
worthy of imitation. He was man of unswery-
ing integrity and conscientious uprightness of
conduct in all the relations and business of life
No man was more esteemed and beloved by his
friends. He was frank, open-hearted, yea, gcner-
Gus. A truer friend could nowhere be found 1t
may he asked, had he no failings? Yea. he had
that are inseparabie from our nature. He was
human and he erred; but let u.s. like the followers
of Empcdocles draw the veil of oblivion over the
few errors and consider his many virtues His
whereas 1t hath pleased Divine Providence to
remove him from this world of sorrow and sadness
and called him hence to that royal highway, for
to dwell in that mansion, which he has often
been known to claim the mansion not made with
hands," Since it hath pleased the Divine Giver
of all good let us humbly bowling to Thy will
calmly say, Ills well, He gvcth his beloved
sleep"
We deeply sympathi2e with the family and
friends of the deceased in their severe afllicton
and extend TO them our sincere coincidence on
this their melancholy bereavement and may it
only serve to make the faith of those mourning
friends in all Thy goodness strong

The Bnitin,0yedm of last week publishes
an excellent likeness of Hon. John Wethered,

with the prominent men of this country and
by travel in Europe, Mrs. Wethered is n
daughter of Philip f. Thomas, one of the
founders and the first President of the BaIti-

venerable Mrs. Madison, widow of President
Madison, then upwards ofcighty years ofagc.
