souri, bandit representing among other things that the
officiating clergyman made him out IA saint. Knowing
the Rev. j. NJ. p. Martin, the clergyman
in question, TO be young not only of
marked ability, but also of unusually good judgment
and sound common sense, knew that tho reports
alluded 10 must be outrageous carcaues and reckless
alsehoods. The story it now from Mr. Martin
is as follows:
Called upon conduct the funeral services he did not
feel at liberty to decline. human being whatever his
life has been should not be buried like a dog Again. the
worst man may leave behind him kindred who may
need comfort and whose feelings entitled to respect
The position OF the clergyman peculiarly difficult

can say do IN any way change the or con-
dton Of the dead. Nor can give the public any new
information respecting the life character OF the de-
living" And then from the text, BE We also ready /:
