John Manley's Funeral.

feeling. The religious exercises were
conducted by Rev. NJ. X. Whittlesey, who,
after reading a few words of Scripture,

The dear friend, whose mortal part lies
In yon casket, crowned with tlowers,-so
diffident, so averse to notorietY when he
lived, that he would not consent to the
sketching of his life for the public eye,
would not now be pleased II, at this hour,
he were made the subject of heightened
remarks.
What, therefore, my personal feeling,
my gratitude my love, might prompt me
TO do, after this more than forty years,
acquaintance, long experience of his
kindness, esteem and material help, as
inmate of his home as associate and friend,
through life's varying changes, torbear
to do. And the more readily since to
those who intimately knew him, encomium
is unnecessary.
Yet In the home circle, for companions,
for children's sake, few last words In his
presence may properly be spoken, as a
connecting link between the past and now,
And this first: That this husband and
father goes now to his rest-as II were, his
first vacation, at this extreme age, after a
life of toll for we'll being In home and
family, in which life his one ideal always
and continuously seemed TO be TO DO HIS
DUTY; rightly, kindly, justly and also gen
orally, quietly, modestly, to face, meet
and discharge all just obligations in the
passing world.
That was John Manley!
Who has known him TO do that which q
friend would regret? do not think 1t
was In him to wound the feelings or harm
the person of fellow man. In these as
poets of moral conduct, his life has been
exemplary, as man, as citizen; In Its In
dustry, business, kindness, answering In
tegrity and generosity.
bis life has not been without Its sue
cesses, or apart from tragic sorrow and
painful disappointment. Yet who has
heard him speak exultingly OF the one, or
obtrusively bemoan the other? His joys
and tears alike were in secret, or In Its re-
tirement of home. In his feeling, rever
ent toward the great God and King,
regardful of divine law, fraternal towards
man. A good and kind husband, tender
believe he has met death not without hope
self-subjection to His sovereign and
righteous appointment.
In such hope and reverent regard we
bid him a fond, inal farewell. Hus-
band, father, friend, fare thee we'll!
