a Beautiful Tribute.

In tie Circuit Court room, last We'd
ncsday, the following address was deliv-
cred by Henry Finch, Esq, upon the
presentation Of the resolutions from the
Bar, which appeared in our last weeks
issue, upon the death of Wallace W.
Estill:
Alta meeting of the Bar and the Off
GERS Of the Court the following resolu-
tons were adopted, and it has been as
signed me as Il sad duty to present them
to your Honor.
Il i; i 4 4 4
We may feel sorrowful that he has
gone before us and long for his cheerful
presence again, but who could give him
life again and feel assured that his end
would be as peaceful? He died sur
rounded by those he loved best Tender
and loving hands smoothed his pillow
and closed his eyes when their light had
fed. His name is spoken with tender
regard, and all give Il sigh or tear to
his sad and untimcly fate If we need
any reminder that death comes with
equal pace upon the palace Of the rich
and the hovel Of the poor, upon youth
in its pride and strength, and old age in
its weakness, we have that reminder in
the sorrowful respect which prompted
the resolutions just read.
The buoyant step and sparkling eye
of young man in his prime has been
called to march with dccrepid age to
the pale realms of shade. The sun i'll
heaven shines upon all with an impair
tial ray, but, death, like Il thunder-bolt,
takes its victims and waits not till the
evening of life to make the inevitable
call.
Leaves have their time to iall,
And flowers to wither at the north winds
breath
And stars to set; but all,
Thou hast all seasons Tor thine, Odcath.
We bow our head to this decree Of
heaven, but cnshrine in our hearts his
memory and his virtues. So may it be
that the good which this man has done
may live after him. Our lips can speak
his praise while we live, but silence will
one day close them. Therefore, we ask
for place on your Honor's minutes for
this mute, though lasting, memorial OF
our love and esteem.
At the conclusion of the address by
Mr.. Finch, Judge Williams pronounced,
IN very touching manner, a high eulo-
gy upon the deceased, claiming for him
the highest integrity of character in his
official capacity, and a conduct the most
genial and gentlemanly.
The Court chccrfully permitted the
resolutions to 90 to record upon the
minutes. Thus will be, in an appro-
pirate manner, perpetuated the memory
of one of Winchcster's most popular
sons.
