may grieve, but can not complain, the tears of affection may not in- 
deed be kept back, but the voice of reason is silenced. To complain 
at the close of such a life, is to complain that the ripened fruit drops 
from the overloaded bough, that the golden harvest bends to the sickle. 
It is to complain of the law of our existence, to accuse the Creator 
that he did not make man immortal on the earth. For such a life all 
_ honor, praise and imitation, for such a death, sorrow and grief, but not 
complaint. Complain for him who has fainted by the wayside—com- 
plain for him who has failed—complain for the wasted and misspent 
life, but not for him, Complain for him who through his own fault 
omitted to employ the opportunities that were given him as a steward, 
but no complaint for him who, having glorified God and honored his 
generation, lies down to restful slumber. He received the Scriptures 
as the inspired word of God. His belief and doctrines were those of 
the Presbyterian church. While he was not conspicuous in religious 
matters, was yet consistent, and his influence was for good. His faith 
was as modest as his social character, and implicit as a child’s.” 
With what more fitting words can we close this brief memorial, than 
to say: All who knew him, loved him; those who knew him best, 
honored and loved him most. The influences of his life even in time 
are eternal, the tomb can not enclose them. He was a man in whom. 
intellectual culture, scholarly taste, modesty of demeanor, purity of 
character, and a blameless life, were so harmoniously blended that he 
will be honored wherever science is appreciated and genuine worth is 
respected. Farewell, brave and gentle heart, may you rest peacefully 
in the bosom of mother earth, to whom you were so devotedly attached, 
and may she cover thy body with the greenest of turf,
