at times irritable with his fellow EN-
ployees. But the writer can bear testi-
mony to his faithfulness and honesty, the
deceased being, at all times, DESTROYS of
doing his best to further the interests OF
his employer, and has often done so late
into the night when such action was nee.
essary, notwithstanding his delicate state
OF health. The writer well remembers,
about five months ago, the deceased en-
tering the sanctum and, with tears ia bis
eyes, relinquishing his position because,
as he said, be could not do an honest
day'swork, and, when told to do as much
as he could and go and come as he
pleased, said he had stood at work so
long that he could not, at any rate for
time. do even the slightest amount OF
work or exert himself in any way, From
this time he got weaker and weaker, until
the end came early this morning; and, as
he was so good and faithful a servant
