for which all universities labored, the cause of civilization, to re- 

 ceive the same undivided support from all who were lovers of a 

 common humanity. Such was the sum of Dr. Oilman's philosophy. 

 Of the peaceful days which preceded the end of this life of 

 service and blessing we have been given a beautiful picture. " I 

 left him," says a friend, " last August in a lovely garden on the 

 shores of Lake Thun, with beautiful flowers about him, with sweet 

 music in his ears, and with the wonderful panorama of the Alps 

 spread out before his eyes. He was looking back upon a pleasant 

 journey and forward to some weeks of rest in this peaceful place. 

 His work was over and well done, he was free from care and pain, 

 his mind was clear and bright, and the evening of his life was un- 

 clouded and serene. He came home some weeks afterward, and 

 then died in an instant without suffering, leaving behind him no 

 memories which any friend would wish to change." The circuit of 

 his life found singular completeness in his death. Among the kins- 

 men who loved him and the townsfolk who admired and revered 

 him, he passed away in the home of his fathers, whence he had 

 gone out more than sixty years before.
