faithful to all his duties in public or private
life. He had also a fine taste for the beau
tifnl and pleasant things of life, he loved
music and had delightin flowers, "passing
the peace and quiet of home lite. Now that
the joys aud trials OF this life are ended, we
trust that he has gone little nearer to the
Master of all music, "That he has a better
home where fadeless flowers bloom forever,
by the banks of the River OF Peace, as it
flows through the Garden Of God"
