Genoa,  stopped,  on  his  way  to  Bern,  for  a  few  days  at  La  Mortola. 
Soon  after  his  return  to  Bern,  early  in  October,  a  complication  of 
diseases  of  the  alimentary  canal  set  in,  and,  after  an  illness  of  nearly 
six  weeks,  he  fell  asleep  at  n  o'clock  on  the  nth  day  of  December, 
1894. 
"Sustained  and  soothed 
By  an  unfaltering  trust,  he  approached  his  grave 
Like  one  who  wraps  the  drapery  of  his  couch 
About  him,  and  lies  down  to  pleasant  dreams."
