upon him, he seemed still in the full meridian of his life-day. It has been 

 no rare experience to miss the brightest of a galaxy. But now, our one par- 

 ticular star is quenched. Be it ours to cherish the honored name so redolent 

 of genius and eloquence, of social worth and civic virtue, of Christian faith 

 and piety. And in that nearer circle in which the precious memories of our 

 friend are now so laden with the fresh sorrow of bereavement, may they all 

 be transformed into hopes full of immortality, as they cluster around the 

 home where God in his own good time shall gather the parted family, and 

 where "there shall be no more death" !
