A BEACON TO BE FOLLOWED 345 



man amongst men, and will always be so cherished in 

 my memory. Industrious and frugal, he made himself 

 agreeably respected by his every action throughout a long 

 and laborious life. In every respect, so far as his ability 

 and means permitted, he carefully studied and relieved 

 the wants of the necessitous, consoled the afflicted, and 

 untiringly laboured disinterestedly for the good of all. Be 

 this said to his memory. His was the true philosophy 

 which should stand forth as a bright and alluring beacon 

 for the imitation and guidance of the present and suc- 

 ceeding generations. In such a life consists the great 

 secret of true happiness; for in it is found the only 

 pleasure that none can take away. To have the oppor- 

 tunity of writing in such a strain, weak though it be, 

 falls to the lot of few, and to still fewer to have been 

 blest with the privilege of knowing intimately a man of 

 such an exemplary character ; and with this poor tribute 

 to his memory I may well bring my reminiscences to a 

 close.
