his parents can only be consoled by
the reflection, that lie fell in per

He Was universally and deservedly
esteemed. He possessed that warmth
of feeling which is the brightest or
nament of valor, that spirit arid
frankness and liberality which se
cures universal esteem, and that
probity of conduct which invariably
commands respect. He abandoned
his literary pursuits in which he had
made considerable and
promised usefulness, and became a
volunteer in the service of his couii-*

Quarles, exert.ng himself bravely in
preverrting Ufa artillery from falling
