WEDNESDAY. JUNE II, 1890.
GARDNER WRIGHT BARNES.

TRIBUTE OF LOVE AND RESPECT, FROM
 THE REV L. H. REED.
 I have known Gardner from his earliest childhood. I little thought that the sweet-faced boy whom I used to pass in the swing at the corner would come to be member of my own family. But when he was old enough to leave home, in the fall of 1885, he joined our household circle, and came under our immediate care and instruction for four years. He was thoughtful boy from the first. He gave us the least possible anxiety and trouble. He would look after his own things ; he kept his room remarkably neat and tidy he was sure to have his rubbers at hand, or his over coat on, if the weather required it. He did not need to be watched and called in if there was any danger to health from cold or rain nor did he venture into unsafe places, or yield to the attractions of hazardous experiments. If he went out for walk with his school-companions we always felt sense of security, because he was of the party.
 He was 8 conscientious boy. He would not do anything which he thought of doubtful propriety. Neither persuasion or ridicule would sway him from his quiet but determined purpose. He was faithful and studious as a scholar. He stood we'll in his classes, and made creditable progress in the various branches of learning. He seemed to understand that he was sent to school, not to have 8 good time wholly, but also to prepare him for earnest and active usefulness as soon as his school days should be ended. As Christian lad he was exemplary and consistent. I do not remember his ever doing or say ing anything that would reflect discred- itably upon the Christian name.
 He took great pleasure in his vacation trips to the South, and always returned full of story and anecdate concerning what he had enjoyed and seen. We have a glass tube which he gave to us, containing samples of sixty different colored sands which he himself collected at Aiken, South Carolina, years ago. The gift is now the more highly prized since we are to see him no more.
 It is 8 strange Providence that should remove from earth one so gentle and good that should seem to set at naught all the acquisitions of knowledge and preparation for business life and useful ness. And yet we know that the Judge of all the earth does right and that nothing which is really good is ever lost. The culture here was preparatory to the service there, where the loved one has gone. He has not passed to college or to business, but he has enter ed the High School of Heaven. He stands among those "sealed" ones, of whom it is written 's His servants shall serve Him" It is more exalted calling than any of earth, and we, who have children thus honored, must be com forted by the thought that it is loving Hand that has taken them from us, and wait in patient submission for the reunions above.
