This respected citizen, who passed
away yesterday, was born at Ballyar-
nett, suburb of Londonderry. Ire
land, June Is, 1925. He came 10 Vir-
GINA in 1847, and engaged in teaching.
At one time he taught the academy
at Petersburg, Va, and afterwards
taught in Sussax county, where he
married Miss Eliza bowman, who
survives him. He and his wife came
to Texas in 1851, and he was engaged
for time in surveying and teaching,
but about 1854 went into the
drug business in Austin with the late
d. w. G. Baker. This partnership
continued until 1862. Since that time
Mr.. Smyth has been engaged in vari-
GUS positions of trust and usefulness,
more recently assisting his son, Capt.
Raleigh Smyth, in his store. Of seven
children four survive their father;
viz: Capt. Raleigh. James, Dudley and
Lucy. An older brother of Mr.. Smyth
is a Presbyterian minister in Maryland
Mr.. VIM. Smyth united with the First
Presbyterian church in 1854, and was
elected Ruling elder in 1855, and con-
tinued in that position till his
death. This short sketch includes
a life of high usefulness and upright.
ness. There are few men whom
everybody trusted as implicitly il
every respect as Mr.. Smyth.
AS a husband and father, in hi:
home, he was very affectionate and de
voted to the interests of his family
Asa neighbor and friend he was ge
NAL and helpful, ever ready to do ;
deed of kindness and love.
AS christian and an officer in tn,
church he was consistent il conduct
and very intelligent in hi
views, and for many years ha
given the strength Of his lif
to the uphuilding of the cause o
Christ. Perhaps few men have fel
the interest he felt in the advance
ment of all good things, and especiall
the growth of the Redeemer's king

A true and good man has gone t
his rest and reward, and he will b

For the F. : VI. M.-Household.
Ills not yet Time to blush for the
Grey.

Yes, we furled our banner sadly,
Fured it, laid it By to rest,
Furied it, covered Ger with honors
Folded tit was the best
Nineteen springs have bloomed anc
perished,
Since our gallant boys in Grey,
Still with spirits trave, undaunted,
Saw the tondest hopes decay.
Hearts that loved that banner truly,
As they saw it wave the last,
Swore that it should e'er be stainless,
As it had in struggles past.
Swore with eyes that locked in fond
ness
On their simple suits Of gray,
Though no flag shall wave above Us,
THIS shall ne er be laid away ~
So our boys have bravely worn it,
Nobly have they kept their vow
Many years. . cIn they, ,CW they,
Will they, shall they break il now?
No, no, answer for them,
Patriotic hearts are they
As they were, when Lee and John.
stOn,
Swore they would protect the Gray.
So with prouder forms, and braver,
Let us stand up, noble, true,
For tbs right, we feel it, know it,
Let US then the right pursue
And when ever we shall don it,
Let us think once of the dead
That so proudly gladly, proudly wore it,
Ere their country's hopes had fled;
Let US think of Father, Brother
That lie sleeping in their Gray,
And | think that by our color,
We shall ever, dl,cays stay.
