The funeral services were conducted on the day after his decease, by the Rev. Mr. SKINNER, of the M.E. Church, of which our departed friend was a member. A large concourse of friends and neighbors were present at the last sad rites, who were saddened at the taking away of one who promised so much, and who were filled with sympathy for those who were bereaved. In the dawn of his manhood the destroyer came, but our friend was prepared, and he went away in peace. When a mere youth, with a thoughtfulness beyond his years, he had shaped out his educational course, which he was pursuing with success, when his last sickness attacked him. At nineteen years of age, at the call of his country, he exchanged his student's life for that of camos and campaigns, and did his duty well. His intelligent patriotism, his manly ways, his rare conscientiousness, his love of truth, his scorn of meanness, his singleness of purpose, his piety in which was mingled no hypocrisy, endeared him to all and marked him for future usefulness. But "He is not dead but sleepeth." The savor of his sweet life remains, his memory lives though the light of his youth has passed away. To us, "who see through a glass darkly," the promise of his youth seems broken, but if we believe the truths which illuminated his life, we know that his was the victory, the everlasting gain, and the great reward, and that his youth will remain forever and forever.
