dens that he bore so CALAMITY In war
ard An peace have been laid down in the
peaeefnl sleep of death that awakens
only 20 the divine touch IN the bosom
OF Him who give and Him who
taketh away.
Tire mournful announcement of the
sudden and un-lOoked-for death OF our
late associate and friend, shocked the
community; bowed with grief and sor-
row those close enough TO call him
friend. brought forth the expression of
the heartfelt regret that pervaded all
clasaee Of our fellow citizens, and to
this bar the sense that public calami-
tv had come 60 the city, the state and
E,,loov cannot reach the cold ear of
death az vitalize the inanimate form so
raeentinO straight, tall, erect in physl-
at,e and character IN our. midst, but 1t is
4 Dleaaaut. though mounful duty TO pay
thfe tribute to the virtues and memory
az the faithful friend, the courteous
gentlsman. the skilled lawyer and wise
Councillor removed from our midst
~ Ire hand that knocks equally at the
DSIace and the cottage gate" and to
pIaca anon record this expression OF
the estean and regard IN which the
dead was held by those OF his fellows
that work and walk, who knew him best,
and who after life's "fitful lever can
from the heart speak of him words OF
love and Kindness. and keenly feel tnat
the ''insatiate archer has again sought
the shining and lofty in our midst.
Death loveth not the woeful heart,
Or the soul that's tired of living,
Nay, its up and away
With the heart that's gay
And the life that's worth the giving
IN LOVING MEMORY,
So let us remember with loving
Thought. the kind words, the gentle
deeds. the willing help and the CHEEKY
smile of our friend in the "old familiar
way, and forgetting the asperites of
life consiQmto Lothian waters aught
that would Jar or recall a single un-
pleasant thought of a life 90 well lived
and SO worthy Of emulation.
His zeal for his cause never out
stripped his professional courtesy. His
character was free and open. He said
what he meant, and meant what he
said. He was manly and without the
touchi Of hypocrisy. To the younger
members Of the profession he was con-
siderate and kind His industry was
marvellous, his methods scholarly and
his research beyond the keL Of most
cO-laborers.
He has left in the hearts of those
who knew him a void hard to fill, and
goes to his "dreamless rest hOnored
and remembered; be it therefore re-
solved.
