a request came from Mrs. Hobart for a
substitution of the hymn Nearer My
God to Thee This was Mr. Hobart's
favorite. 1t was rehearsed to an adapta-
ton by Prof. Wiske, similar to that given
at the funerals of Gen. Grant, Gen. Lo-
gan and President Garfield and at the
dedication of Grants tomb The other
selection will be produced to music by
'ChWapaI, the words being considered sin
gularly appropriate to Mr.. Hobart's life
in public and to his personal relations.
The poem commences as follows:
Weary hands, oh, weary hands,
Resting now from lifefS~ endeaVor,
From the conflict,
From the fever, r..
Peacefully lying where We fell.
Oh folded hands, farewell, farewell"
