By ibis mys. terioiis and afflictive dispensailon of Divine Providence, an aged mother has been deprived of a son fitted to be the pride and comfort of her declining years; affectionate relatives of a most valued and endeared kinsman, and a lame circle ,T devoted friends, of one in whose society and o(lt„- ‘‘on, they were accustomed to take delight.

About a year ago, be became deeply concerned for the welfare of his soul while attending a meeting, whore considerable religious excitement was felt. Ho saw him-df to boa sinner, and earnestly entreated the favor and forgiveness of an offended God through the merits of a crucified Saviour. He was blessed with the hope that bis sins were pardoned and his prayers heard, and this hope be never afterwards resign, ed, although he did not make a public profession of icligion. This he hesitated to do, fearing to deceive himself and others,and because be thought his conduct was so far beneath the standard o of holiness which the Bible held up before him. His humility was ever one of ihe must lovely and engaging trails in bis character. Though be was highly endowed in mind ami person, and in those qualities of the heart which gain ndmi. ration, and though bis whole deportment in the family where he resided, and towards every one with whom ho canto in contact, was such as to excite their esteem and approval, yet lie uniform ly seemed unconscious that lie possessed merit of any kind whatever, and received kindness with feeling and gratitude, ascribing it t„ any thing but Ids own (le.-erls. But if his life was attract live and estimable, (arid to such a degree was it so, (hat we feel how inadequate is language lo convey eur own deep and fervid impression of the mine than earthly beauty of his character.) yet was the closing scene of that short life filled .will* an interest, a paftios, and a dignity which those who wi nested it can never describe, nor ever forget.
