The Lotto Lewis Merryman.

A correspondent of the baltimore Mihoii'
pays the following tribute 10 the late Lewis
Mcrryman. who died at his home In this county.
u few weeks ago, in the 10Th year Of his age:
"Mr. McTryman was the sen Of pious Metho-
dist parents, and his earliest rccollectiOns were
associated with the iincrant ministers who ftc-
qucnted and enjoyed the Inequalities Of his pa
rental home. by training anj choice he was
Methodist. and for number of years was known
and valued as faithful member Of that coinmu-
MON in the neighborhoods were he resided Lat
tcTly he was connected wish GOyanstown Station,
in which he held the position Of trustee, and to
which, as 20 Waverly Station, he made bcqucst
by his will. While devoted 90 his church. Brother
Merryman more than n churchman, he was u
Christian,-a man who loved his home and friends.
and who sought in quiet and unostcntatious
methods 10 discharge the duties which he owed a.
God and his fellow men. II was not his desire or
wish to GIL large space, or indeed any space in
the worlds eye, but 20 do his duty well. Perhaps
he shrank too much from taking an active part in
the public services Of the church. but if so, he
rendered IL better service in the consistency Of
his life, and in his ithfulness In private in speak
ing the word Of counsel. reprooi or persuasion
which in more than one instance was not without
wholesome influence. lie was n man Of great
evcnness and sweetness Of disposition. and few
men have enjoyed greencr old age. Indeed he
never seemed 90 grow Old. Possessed of remark.
able vitality, vigor and industry. he continued
active until within few days Of his dea,h--and
then passed away without knowing much of phys
icsl weariness. The closing up Of his life was Of
fTfvrewith bis life, calm, uncomplaining. re.
siEhsd. when asked 10 he was trusting in the
Saviour, his response was. "yes:" and then. with
u smile. added, he thought IL would be \ bad time
now to have to attend to that matter. Perhaps
We may best sum up his character In the words
Of the apostle-hc was \ lover Of hospitality, u
lover Of good men, sober. just, holy, temperate
holding fast the faithful word rs he had been
taught, for emphaically he was lover and dill.
gent reader of the Scriptures--a just aud merci
fui man to ALL Brother Merryman was married
more than quarter Of a century ago to Miss
Ellen Coke, Of Baltimore county, who survives
