Sc ldom are we called OF to noun the
death OF u yOung man of such rare promise as
he who has just passed AWAY in the first
bloom OF early manoOo'l. Handsome and Of
commanding presence, with splendid intel
lecCual gifts, which made the acquisition OF
knowledge n delight, there WAS also in him
the added beauty Of an exceptionally pure
and noble character, distinguished from child
hood for Its simple and direct sincerity both
in word and act. In his sweet aud gracious
nature there was II blending of gentleuess and
strength, OF kindly consideration for others,
with a mOdestly yet manly self reliance, that
invOluntaTily attracted all VINO were thrown
with him, and made him beloved and admir-
ed not only IN the home circle. but by all who
knew him. He entered the Virginia Military
Institute, ut Lexington, at the age of seven
teen, and at once took "A high stand there.
graduating with the second highest honors
awarded. and accepting the position Of assis-
tant professor there for the ensuing wear.
Just before his graduation, he, with many
others of his college, became deeply Interest
ed In the subject OF religion, and he then re-
solved to give himself to Christ, being soon
afterwards confirmed, and quietly but faith
fully did he strive to walk in his Masters
way thencefOrward, until be was cali d I'D
higher. Resigning his position at the instI-
tUte alter One year, he accepted tie II lttering
offer, rendered him mt the recommendation Of
General smith. OF commandment in the military
academy at Lexington, Mo, and taught there
for a wear with great SUCCESS, IA brilliant
career seeming to stretch before him. Pre-
pared TO net his part as a man IN this world,
striving to he prepared for the would to come,
how bright life looked 10 him., how much to
live for! But God y ways are not our ways.
On his return 10 the west after "a visit to his
home In Virginia he WAS attacked by maIariaI
fever, which left his lungs seriously affected.
by the advice OF physicians he came back TO
Virginia, from thence seeking again and
again q more genial climate and every re-
source OF medicine, but In vain his Young
life wasted slowly away in spite of everything
that science and his devoted mothers love
and care could do. Trusting 10 bis Ssyiour's
love and promises he passed from earth with
perfect submission to Gods will In IA little
more than a year after his Illness began ,leay-
ing his stricken mother and dear ones the
precious hope OF meeting him again In that
home where God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes. On Christmas eve. while
the iOY bells of the world were making ready
to ring out peace and good will on earth, he
was laid to rest in the old family graveyard
by his brothers side, and the pure llOwers Ou
bis brelst and grave were not more stainless
than his life
He the more fortunate; yea, he hath finish
ed,
For him there is no longer anv future.
His lie is ~bright-bTight without spot II was,
