Adams, "let the man- tle of oblivion be thrown over every unkind thought of him, if one there be; let us yield our homage of admiration to his many virtues ; and let it be our pray- 20 er, if summoned in a like sudden and awful maimer, we may not he found unprepared, but the rather en- joying that peace which is the end of the perfect man. " Let us remember, there is now a desolate home, and hearts sorrowing because he who was it- light and joy, whose benignant Bmile, whose tender sympathies, w...hose wise and gentle bearing, consecrated that home, is no longer there. She who has so long been the compan- ion of his thoughts, and nurse at his pillow, into whose • •ar, in dying, he poured the accent- of undying affec- tion, and they who had a lather most indulgent and revered! — we know they mourn not as those without hope ; for he is not dead, but "gone on before. ' 1 And if there is any consolation in the sympathy of a mourn- ing community; if there is any comfort in the heartfelt regrets of those who knew him best; if there is anj solace in the assurance that a Father's hand is lain heavily only to bless the more, — they will be consoled and comforted, their present darkness will be changed into light ineffable, and for their present grief will be opened fountains of repose.
