great benefactor to the human race?
He has a mission to perform and he

what he deemed was not only his
right but oftimes his duty, things on
this mundane sphere would come TO
a pretty pass. 1t matters not
whether the aforesaid klcklet is the
outcome of a noble thought or sim
ply desire on the part of the
kIckee to give vent to his natural
propensities, 1t answers the same
purpose. How many public Off
cials there are who do their duty
simply because of fear of the GROWER.
In all the walks of life you find men
striving to do right for no Other
reason in the world than that they
are afraid if they do not chew to the
line" they will not meet with the
appreciation of the chronic growler

the National road than "Barney
Brown" as he was Familiarity called
by his friends and associates. In
his early years he was contractor
on the pike. Many miles of the
road he helped to build. He was
the last of race of giants who
made that famous highway. When
shall we see their like again? In
later years he engaged in hotel
keeping, leaving Maryland eighteen
years ago to live with his children
in Illinois and Missouri.
lie was serious, sensible, fearless
and friendly man, his heart was
ever touched by the appeals of the
distressed, and his hand was always
open for the relief of the poor. His
arm was ever ready to defend the
weak and protect the oppressed;
want or affliction ever found in him
sympathy and relief.

His was of simple faith; born
Methodist he never forsook or
denied its creed; he lived up to its
teachings and died enjoying its
consultations, assured of his reward.
He knew and cared little for books.
The bible was his guide-reading it
well, believing its promises, keeping
its precepts. He was good citizen
in every sense of the term, a
kind and indulgent father. Per-
haps in his domestic relations his
noble nature was most strlkingly
developed. No labor or sacrifice
was too great for the care and COM
fort of family. He was devoted
husband. To his wife, whose death
some years ago left him the lonliest
and saddest of men, his kindness
and devotion was wonderful. After
union of fifty years, rearing a
large family, sharing every form OF
care, toll and disappointment, theil
affections were as warm and their
attachments were as strong as on
the day of marriage. To the houl
of his death her memory was hiE
hope, pride and solace. His prayer
was, ever may | rest beside my
beloved, and there to-day he sleeps
his last wish gratified.
