162 OBITUARY NOTICE.— HENRY HEWAT CRAW 



him. Stone implements, collected on his farms and else- 

 where, were treasured by him. Botanically, he kaew the 

 stations for the Linncea borealis, Trientalis, Uuroptea, and 

 Vicia orohus, three representative plants in the Lammermoor 

 region, near Eawburn. 



From his father he inherited a genius as a pomologist, 

 and possessed a very fine collection of apples suitable for the 

 climate of the Eastern Borders, derived from the best sources, 

 and grown on black wooden fences, hollow in the centre. 

 For high colour and quality his fruit was unsurpassed, and 

 at an International Fruit Show, in Edinburgh, his apples 

 took a first prize, when shown against those from a more 

 favoured climate in the south. He was a skilled grafter, 

 many of his trees being models ot high cultivation, and 

 prolific to an extraordinary degree. 



For many years he has sent a record of the rainfall at 

 West Foulden and Eawburn to enrich our " Proceedings," 

 proving that we live in a tolerably dry corner of Scotland. 



Among all his business, his work people were never for- 

 gotten, and in sickness his quiet kindness will be much 

 missed by many of them. The wreath laid on the grave 

 was a true proof of the estimation in which they held 

 him: — "In memory of our dear friend," etc., etc. 



" The world goes ever on and on : 



What boots it friend to thee or me ! 

 It still will go, when we are gone, 



And go no jot less merrily. 

 The faces all have shadows grown, 



The voices faint as evening's sighs, 

 The world a world of ghosts alone, 



But still the motly rush goes by; 

 Ever new and ever old, 



With the wherefore still untold."
