Jones paid an earnest tribute to the memory
of the deceased, after which the Latin ode of
Horace was sung by the United German Socle-
ty, Translated into English, this beautiful ode
reads as follows:
"The man of upright life and pure from
wiokedness, Q Fuscus, has no need OF the
Moorish javelins or bow, or culver loaded with \
poisoned darts. Whether he is about to make
his journey through the sultry Syrtes of the
inhoSpitable Caucasus, or those places which

Mr.. Robson then announced the late Pres
idents hymn, Ho, Reaperss of LIES Har-
vest, " which the German vocal societies OF
Cleveland sang with marked effect. The exer-
cises closed with the benediction by President
Hinsdale, Of Hiram College, who was intr lduced
by DR.. Robson MIR. Hinsdale said:
80 God the sad experience of this day
teaches us the truth of what Thou has told us
i'll Thy word The grave is the last of this
world, and the end Of life. Earth to earth;
dust to dust ashes to ashes. But we believe
in the doctrine of the immortality of the soul,
less life. Therefore, o God! our
Father, we look to Thee now for the greatest
blessing. We pray that fellowship and saliva
ton of the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior, and
the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Comfort
er, may be with all who have been in to-day
assembly. Amen"
The last words had no sooner died on his
lips than those in the immediate proximity of
the vault pressed forward and gathered up
handfuls of flowers and hemlock twigs as
precious mementoes of the solemn scene
