Qulsenberry decree of providence whose
mysterious ways they seek not to divine,
but, believing in submission, they yet be-

higher court, and that at the bar of God,
he may now appear, and with the record
of his life, have affirmed the Judgment of
having lived the life and died the death OF
the pure in heart

done much TO honor the law and to reflect
credit upon those who administer it.

ceased we found him, as husband, father
and friend, all the honor, kindness, affec-
ton and tender c1re which those holy
names imply, and it is with deep sense of
her great loss that we extend to the wife of
his heart all the sympathy that brothers
and friends can bestow.

the drapery of his couch about him and
lay down TO pleasant dreams, so may he
be ushered into eternity.
