after dining with his family and guests, on the 28th of July, in re- 
sponse to aremark made by Mrs.I,.M.Smith, a sister of his wife, 
hewsaide “ami not afraid to die.’’ And these were his last 
words. ‘Thus he passed away as he had always wished in the full! 
possession of his faculties. The funeral took place from the late 
residence, Dr.W.B.Noble officiating, with interment in Mt. Hope 
cemetery, San Diego. ‘ 
Always an active man, thinking of others, even those who 
had no claim upon him, he won esteem in whatever community 
he resided. His love of nature and liberality secured to him many 
friends, and the work he did for the natural sciences and the 
encouragement he gave to the study still lives, and gives an 
impetus which quietly but surely will aid in its progress during 
uncounted years to come. 
GR. ORCUAI: 
THE FLOWERS HE BROUGHT. 
DEDICATED TO MY HUSBAND. 
The music of the rippling brooks, 
And all the sweetness caught, 
From tarrying in wooded nooks, 
Came with the flowers he brought. 
The morning light of May was there 
With all its beauty fraught, 
And love, a tender bud, and fair, 
Came with the flowers he brought. 
Its presence lighted up the room, 
And hallowed every thought, 
And tomy heart a richer bloom 
Came with the flowers he brought.
