Joel Cook died in the midst of his labors and honors and at a time of liis greatest influence and usefulness in the world. Sorrowful tasks are from time to time imposed upon every one. There is none, however, more mournful than that of perusing the records of the lives of those whom we have known, or the duty which compels us to utter in public our words of praise and affection for the friends, the companions, the long-trusted ones, who have gone. These are the sad milestones which are placed a...long the passage of time with a fearful certainty and an unsparing equality of distribution. These trials, however, must be faced as we look into the eyes of fate or listen to its knocking at the door. It is for us to meet them seriously, yet in the right spirit, \\athout empty and helpless lamentation. I counted him whom we mourn to-day as my friend. He was a man of fine literary instincts and tastes, a veri- table scholar in politics. No one could help but be im- pressed with his placid dignity, his serenity, his patience, and his quiet courage.
