As n son he was all that is filial. dutiful
and faithful He loved his mother with
all the devotion OF his ardent nature. and
he cherished with the most profound pride
the memory of his dead father, who had
earned eternal lanrels as one of the brave
defenders of his couutry's flag.
In mis- social relations, however, we
know him best. He WAS genial, gentle and
atable, enjoying with the keenest delight
association with his friends. of whom he
had wide circle.
His young friends, who loved him. can
scarcely realize that no more will his gentle
voice be heard in their midst, to comfort
and to cheer
That voice is stilled In death: those ever
helpful hands lie lifeleSs ut his side, and
that once generous aud ardent heart will
beat no more forever.
In after years, when our memory shall
inger around the many events and
characteristics that made up his brief life.
1t will dwell with the fopdest satisfaction
upon those pre-eminent traits Of geutilty
aud cheeriulness, OF which he was so rich
~ possessed.
Sunshine and good cheer closely follow

the immediate occasion of the Danish
meut OF all gloom and sorrow.
His life WAS a success for il taught the
