When a good man departs this life. II
seems fitting that tributes should be paid
TO his memory: for character determines
destiny and TO virtue alone Is genuine
homage due. We have witnessed the de-
parture OF one who presented to the
world the beautiful example OF a pure and
stainless and useful life. Endowed with
