MONDAY MORNING. JANUARY 14,18C7. MEMOIR OF BISHOP ELLIOTT. At a meeting, on tho 12th iterant, of tho Alumni of the South Carolina College, in Charleston, who had boen membors of tho classes of tho Right Rev. STEPHEN ELLIOTT, Bishop of Georgia, lately de? ceased, while ho was tho Professor of Sacred Literature and tho Evidonccs of Christianity ht that Institution, tho following paper was road and it was Resolved, That wo unanimously accept the Me? moir which has boen submitted to us, aa express? ing our concoption of tho character and endow? ments of the Right Rev. STEPHEN ELLIOTT, late Bishop of Georgia, who was once our loved and honored teacher- our vory high appreciation of his exalted virtues-oui" grateful recollection of the benefits we havo recoived from his teaching and tho example of his holy lifo, and our deep sense of tho loss which tho country, his Church, and the cause of education has sustainod hi his death. , Resolved furOier, That tho city papers bo re? spectfully requested to publish these proceedings, with the "accompanying MEMOIR. "The Bight Reverend STEPHEN ELLIOTT, Bishop of tho Diooeee of Georgia, died suddenly last -evening," were the sad tidings whbh, on tho morn? ing of the 22d of December, 186d, were borne through the land on the wings of the swift and "mysterious messenger of thceo latter days_ Thrice during the past year has this honored name been borne in mourning on its wings, and each time with words ot honor, regard and profoundest respect. Oa the first occasion the young L'TO and soldier was "laid gently and reverently upon the bosom of the State he loved." But a few dayslater and his honored and scholarly father, who had trained bim for his high du? ties, and who could truly and proudly say with Lord ORMOXD, "I would not give my dead son for any living sou in Chris? tendom," was laid by.his side, and now agaiu tho shining name or his noble kinsman, Georgia's great Bishop, is added to the fata? list. This last startling message carried gloom and sorrow throughout the limits of Georgia and South Caro? lina, and we have re anon to believe to many other portions of our Southern land besides, and even, perhaps, to some hearts and homes of tho North? ern clime. Men seeking for sympathy met and repeated the mournful intelligence, and the mute ? *but eloquent gesture of grief gave token of their love ana reverence for a great and good man thus snatched away, and of their bitter eenso of irre parable loas and bereavement. It was keenly felt that a brilliant light and shining representative of Southern life, society, tradition and history was soddenly gone, and that from churches, and States, and disciples, and friends, a prop upon which they had used to lean, had silently sunk away, ai d that they mast hence? forth learn to stand in their own strength, or look elsewhere for support. And in the first blindness of their grief they knew not where to look. The Church which he governed will mourn the loss of the calm, clear, just and graceful wisdom which guided her, and the great heart which cheered ber. The society in which he moved, and of which ho was a bril? liant representative, will lament that its pride anti ornament is veiled! Many a younger mao, strug? gling in the battle of life, will miss his voice from among the good and wise, whoso approbation is reward, whose praise is wealth. And hundreds have lost forever their friend, example, teacher, guide and comforter-a comforter whose rich, sweet, happy voice of itself brought cheer aud hope amidst sorrow and despondency. It has seemed to us a very sad but grateful duty, and not without its healthy uses to fix iu the memory of those who knew and loved him, a brief outline of the life and character of the dis languished Prelate, whose death is thus recorded, and whose funeral obsequies have just been dosed; and to preserve for the use and guidance of a younger generation who never saw his face or heard bis voice, if but an imperfect portrait of this pure teacher of truth and graceful leader of men, standing like SAUL in stature and intellect "from his shoulders and upwards, higher than any of the people." Tho Right Iteverend STEPHEN ELLIOTT, Bishop of the Diocese of Georgia, was born in the town of Beaufort, South Carolina, on the Slat August, 1806. He was the eldest son of STEPHEN ELLIOTT, of South Carolina, who was known in that day as the ripe scholar, the eloquent talker, and the en? thusiastic student .of science, especially of the beautiful science of Botany, whose name and character is among the grateful traditions of the day and the society in which he lived. His mother vas EBTHEB HABEESHAM, .of Georgia; and his family have ever since maintained close and affec? tionate relations with that great State. He, him? self, always claimed that he belonged to both States. And especially after he was called to pre? side over the Diocese of Georgia, with that gra? cious wisdom which was eminently characteristic of the man, it was his habit freely and heartily to declare that ho was s true son of Georgia, and that he was ready to serve her with the love of a grateful child as well as that of a faithful Bishop. When his father removed to Charleston, iii 1812, to become the President of the Bank of tho state of Sooth Carolina, he came with him and was pre? pared for College at the school of Mr. HURLBUT, at that time a distinguished and successful teach? er ia this city. In the fall of 1822, ho went to in that institution. He remained atHarvard until the fall of 1828, when, at the desire of his father, -ho wished bim to graduate in his native State, he returned home, and in November of that year, was admitted to the Junior Class of the - South Carolina College. Among his classmates there were the gifted writer and eltquent orator, the late Hon. JAB?ES H. HAMMOND; and the learned and distinguished Judge, the late Hon. THOMAS J. WITHERS. Ho graduated in 1825 with the third honor of his class. Upon his graduation be was bred to the Bar in the office of the lamented JAMES L. PETIORU, for whom he retained through life a most affectionate reverence and regard. He teas admitted to practice, it is believed, in 1827. It was at this period of his fife that the great political questions of State Sovereignty and Free Trade arose, and shook the country by the tre? mendous weight and magnitude of tho argument. The ardent and talented young scholar and lawyer took a keen and active interest in the momentous ?sues of that high dobato. He was a States Bights man in thehighest meaning of those words, ana was through life the warm and unwavering supporter of that school of political doctrine. He believed in the simple story of the sovereignty of the States, as told in every child's history of thc early settlement of the Colonies, and the later in? dependence of these States. He believed that this sovereignty was tho true, and almost the only con? servative element of the Constitution, and tbe only effective check upon the usurpations of the central government, when the latter should be controlled hythe mad passions of party or the wild delusions of the populace-that conservative element which alone made a free and magnificent Republic possi? ble. He believed that the liberties of the States was the heaven-given shield of the liberties of the peoples; that the ireedom of the Union was the real strength and perfect health of the Onion. He loved his own State very dearly, and he believed that an honest, genuine and practical love of the country was best felt and expressed in a just and , g?nerons love of the State. Call this weak. *- " this narrow, if you please, but it ia the - and the narrowness of nature. ?.v * Weakness ?nd broader than the **? ,tlllcu j8 ?tronger deeper tuan the r _i0n8 of m0Di which i8 wiser thar. ieed of tbe philosopher and J iue calculations of tho statesman . '. nature's sacred ard unchangeable love of the child for his home, and through his home for hie faOier-Xuad. Bat we will not wrangle over his bier to pass judgmeot on these opinions. It is enough that they were held, and are now held by men who have served the whole country with un? questioned devotion and illustrious success, and of whom history must speak with unqualified honor and respect, and it may be, as the true prophets of the land. It was at this time, too, that, as the friond and companion of the gifted LEGARE, he took a warm and enthusiastic interest in the fortunes of the re? nowned old Southern Quarterly Review, and tho brilliant literature it illustrated, lt ia believed that he wrote often and well for its columns, and helped to make it what it was. In after years ho always spoke with pride aud enthusiasm of the power and career of that famous journal, as a noble monument of the scholarship of the State at that day. He practised law in Charleston for several years, when, upon the retirement of a distinguished practitioner from the Bar of Beaufort, he remov? ed to the latter place to succeed to his office and business. His return to bis birth-place was a happy hour for him. He dearly loved thc old place and its people. He loved the bright waters and the broad bays of the country round; and through fife it was the delight of the stately Bishop to come back among tboeo scenes from time to time, and wanderiug along the neighbor- i ing sea shore, breathe again the boisterous breath of the Atlantic, while he gathered with the keen zest of no mean naturalist the beautiful shells and the enrious things which the soothing surf brought to his feet-nothing loth either to join with eager energy in ihe bold and stirring sports of tho sturdy, young boatmen around him. He came back to Beaufort to practice law, but a different destiny awaited him there. At this time, not long after the period when the Church of England had roused itself from its lethargy to a deeper and quicker sense of its high mission and duty, and the teachers of a more activo and energetic faith had become a power in thc Church; and when the eloquent energies of CHALMERS had begun to wake the Church of Scotland from thc deep slumber of the "Moderates," the truths of religion known as evangelical wero preachod with unusual fervency*, power and effect in the ancient and secluded town of Beaufort. Asido from the mysterious breathings of the Divine Spirit, as ac? cepted by many, it was a community peculiarly open to impressions fron?, such a source. Tho? roughly educated, cultivated and refined-isolated from the turmoil of life and from tho tide of the world-bred to a high self-reliant and un tl inching sense of duty and a generous devotion to truth the solemnity and pathos, the overwhelming obli? gation, the supreme necessity and the Koif-sacri floing spirit of the doctrines then proached ap? pealed with irresistible power to its people. Among a somewhat remarkable group of young men, not unknown iu the State, who, at that time, made open profession of their faith and high re? solve, and have since truly kept the won! and honor they then pledged, was tho gifted, accom? plished ano* graceful young advocate who had re- < centiy come back to his early home. Not many I days later he turned away from the allurements t of pleasure and the hopes, honors and eoiolu- c moots or public and professional life to euroli \ himself as a teacher of the truths ho believed, I and a minister at the altars of the church iu c which he worshipped. He was ordained a minis- t ter of the Protestant Episcopal Church by Bishop v BOWEN, in the fall of 1835. He officiated as Rector c ol the Parish of Wilton for one mouth, wheu ho v wa* elecieu by the Trustees of tho South Carol iua t Coll ige to the Chair of Sacred Literature and tho v Evidences of Christianity iii that Institution, to .which also the Chaplaincy of tho College was at- a Inched, g Thus carly was he oalled to high offices. And perhaps the reader who never saw him will follow us more fully and easily in what we have further to say, if we hero endeavor to describo tho very striking form aud presence of the lato Bishop. Long of limb and tall of stature, with a full aud vigorous frame, thoroughly yet easily eroct, with full high brow, t?uely chiselled features and lofty crest-with a toft, beaming blue eye, and a oom plexion fair and frosh, without being ruddy-ex? quisitely craceful ia his carriage, and quiet and easy in his movement, with his thin dark hair floating lightly around and Irom his head-his was a fleurs as he passed alnng tho crowded thor? oughfare, upon which wen turned to gazo, and the eyes cf women rested with teuderuess and veneration. His presenco, though graceful, was eminently dignified and eoninmuliug. It .quietly expressed a verv sensitive deference for tho opinions and feelings of others-ready to hear and quick to ap? preciate-vet a fud and steady reliance on him? self. It is* told of lura that, once at a country tavern, where lie had ?topped for the night, a poor iuebriato wan recklessly bantering the bystanders, when his attention was arrestod by the appoar auco of the stately Bishop, and awed and sobered for the moment by his commanding look and towering form, he turned to him and exclaimed, "And who aro you ? Are you a Judge ? or a mem? ber of Congress ? br Governor of the State? Well, if you aint ?my of these you ought to bc!" That which was felt by this poor fellow has been felt by iho highest and wisest and best in the land in the same presence. Often have we watched that till and graceful figure come swinging along the College grounds in company with grave professor or cheerful student, in serious talk or with his rich, soft, hearty laugh ringing out at Borne merry jest, and been conscious that a living grace was added to the picturesque scene within the bounds of the venerable school. It must bo left to his biographer to speak fully of his career HS a Professor, and of the manner in which be performed the duties of his chair. We can only say that the number of those who learn? ed to love, honor and revere him there, is tho wholo number of those whose names stand upon the roll of those bright days of the proud old Col? lege, as well m all who watched and cher? ished its progress at that time. Ho yearned to niako it a school of high learning, a rich source of truth and refinement, aud tho centre of a gener? ous and intellectual citizenship to tho State. "Will yon let other States breed your scholars ?" exclaimed ho, on one occasion to one of the classes, "and will you be content to be hewers of wood and drawers of water to them ?" Io his own person he showed them how high and gra? cious and precious a thing was the pure gift of learning and tho culture of letters, the charm and tho power of tho scholar. In the lecture room his clear and vigorous analysis, and his rich, polished, and often passionate words, taught them how to think and how to utter then thoughts. His hopeful voice cheered everybody. Aud ho hero exhibited a marked characteristic of his wholo life. He deeply and gladly sympathized with every aspiration after a higher culture, how? ever h?mido. He encouraged each to do h>s best, although that best might be but little. To him the aspiration itself was a graoe, the effort itself was elevatiug. To him there was every imagin? able difference between the high aims ot even the weak, and the dull recklessness of aimless strength. He dearly loved books, to be among them and to handle them. Ho was a connoisseur in print aud paper and binding. He took an eager and active interest in the new library building, whose foundation was laid under his auspices. He sedulously watched and pushed forward its construction. And when it was finished and all was ready, carefully were the book* carried under his eye from tho old room where they had stood so long, to a fitter resting place. Right gladly he called his pupils around him to help him to re? ceive and arrange them. When the great boxes which contained the recent importations of the best and r meat English editions of the best and greatest authors-brought there by the prodigal bounty of the State to her favorite insti? tution- wero opened, his enthusiasm broke forth, aud ho dwelt with all a scholar's delight upon their exquisito beauty and inestimable value. And when all tho work of arrangement was ueariy done, ho turned to tho group around him and said, iu his own rich tender tones, "Now, young gentlemen, I will expect in after years, each one of you who can afford it, to bring some work of art, some statue, bust or picture to adorn these alcoves." lt was thus ho taught the young novices of his school to lovo books, and art, and letters, aud learning. And now we turn sadly away to think how many proud hopes and glad anticipations which then swelled in his generous heart, have been crushed and buried nuder the power of the conqueror, in ruin, grief, desolation and blood. But it was for a comparatively brief period that he was permitted to fill the Professor's chair. Thc Clin reit at whose altar he served, and to ! whose ministry he had been ordained, summoned ! him to her work. She called him to. a higher and larger sphere of usefulness. He obeyed without a question. Io the summer of 1840, he was elect? ed the first Bishop of Georgia. In December of tho same year, not without sb m o natural regrets, he took leave of the College, which he had loved and served so well, and early in 1841 he was con? secrated to his Bishopric. It is not for us to speak of the manner in which tho duties of his holy office were discharged. Tho task of organizing and building np a new Diocese was a trying ono. Of the mau uer in which it was performed his Church and Diocese must speak. We know that his Diocese loved him siucerely and was heartily proud of him. It has recently declared ita sense of boreavoment at his death, "as too deep to fiud expression in the common terms of grief and mourning;" and that they "de? sire to place on record their high appreciation of his remarkable qualifications for the Episcopal office, exercised for more than twenty-five years; 'earniug; his pro-eminent power aa a preacher of tho Gospel of tho graco of God; his keen insight into the motives and instincts of men; his tact and ability in administering his Diocese; his watchful? ness and tender sympathy for all the flock com? mitted to his care;"his interest in the welfare of our culored population; his careful avoidance of party issues and all extremes in doctrine, disci phue and worship, and his cautious eudeavors to pursue the quiet, conservative paths trodden by the wisest and most honored Eathers of the Ame? rican Church." His fcChurch will doubtless speak at another time. As a pulpit orator, without aiming to bo subtle or metaphysically profound, he was clear, vigorous, eloquent aud often etrikiogly original in tho defence and illustration of accepted truth. His stylo was passionate as well as exceedingly pure aud graceful-and rather the rich, massive aud commanding manner of MILTON, SOUTH, BEN JONSON and JEBESI? TAYLOB, than that of the polished wita and piquant essayists of Queen ANNE'S reign, with some touch alao of the quaint? ness of those earlier worthies. To his students he always commended the first SB the better modela. It was in the earlier days of his Episco? pal administration that he sacrihoed his privato fortune, and reduced himself to poverty and waut in his uncalculating efforts to establish an emi uent school for female education at Montpelier, in tho State of Georgia; and it was at a later period that, iu the same spirit of generous and untiring devotion to tho cause of education, together with the heroic Bishop of Louisiana, and the geu tle and eloquent Bishop of Tennessee-aud when these three stately men stood together it wau a I striking group for the painter's pencil-h* - jected and labored earnestly to lay th*- * ?>ro of a great Southern Uuivcreit" - inundation would one day Decor""- .,, which he trusted learning and ier>~- _o a beneficent centra of this he rt** ' ..ors to our Southern land. And ?>**? ' .M m no spirit of narrow prejudice against .^er sections or other seats of learning. As we have said before, he did indeed dearly love the South. He cherished aud honored her traditional spirit of social order and conservative republican liberty. He believed that there was much that was peculiar and valuable io the life, society, character, traditions and history of her people that ought to be fostered and sheltered. But, besides this, he was also firmly persuaded, that even as regards the development of a national life, embraciug all sections aud latitudes of the Union, a bettor, healthier and nobler national life and character would be developed by tho estab? lishment ot many centres of wealth, power, edu? cation and influence, than could be produced under a system by which whole territories-equal each of thom iu extent to great European King? doms-should be overshadowed, provincialized, and materially, morally and intellectually enfee? bled and impoverished by an abjc::t dependence on one stupendous, turbulent and despotic centre of commerce, arts, manufactures, publication, aeience, literature, learning and government, lt was in this faith that ho labored so earnestly for the establishment of a great Southern school as a balance of power in the country. The work waa begun. But the fair prospects of the splendid enterprise were blighted by the opening of that tremendous struggle for the political independence of these Southern States their society, institutions, civilization, constitu? tional law, and traditional policy-which was to agitato and overshadow the closing scenes of his lifo. In this struggle, holding tho views of public law and policy which he did, trained iu the politi? cal school to which wo have referred, it waa not difficult to see where Bishop ELLIOTT would Btand. But tho btory is too sad to dwell upon. He sbared in tho labors of a thousand other heroe-i who suffered, or bled, or died, all in vaia. Ho pla' od his Church by the side of the State. He cheered and comforted his suffering, bleeding, fainting people with words of the deepest pathos and tenderness. He sent his sons to tho battle with his pure kiss on their brows and a father's bWsing iu their hearts. And when all was over and ali in vain-and the cauae was lost, ho bowed his head without a murmur to tho will of his God, aud turned to the new duties which lay before him with the hope and energy of au uullinchiug faith, and the calm dignity of an unconquered heart. In looking back at tho life of Bishop ELLIOTT, there are one or two points of his character upon which it will be grateful to touch. In Church aud State ho waa eminently conserva? tive. He dearly loved that which was old aa well as excellent-tlio truth and the practice that is taught by ancient precedent and established by ancient custom. But so ardent a temper, and a nature HO sensitive, ?esthetic aud enthusiastic, could not but sympathize with all honest and geuuine progress. In matters of religious faith ho rested iu revelation-believing that a crocd was perfect at thc time it was revealed. In ques? tions of public liberty ho rested immovably in gre?t-priiicipies. But in other matters of Church and State ho clung to the ancient laudmarks of history, rather as tests by which to moasuro tho truth and tho earnestness of tho new and pro gressiw, tlniu as impayable harriers to change. And in the fields of ?cieuee, and commercial and material progress ho was full of enterprise ami oiiihusiasui, and passionately anxious tbathis fair Soutbei n land should pres* forward with uu ?ag?iug stride in tho great march of modem civilization. His, too, was an exceedingly happv iemper. "The lines have fallen unto mo in plea* jant places," wero words which not unfrequently hopped from lum in confidential intercourse, lt vas this buoyant, happy nature which so often wrought the healing of hie to the sad and wound id spirits of his people. Doubtless there was in bis a deeper, ghostly joy in his holy offico on mich wo dwell reverently, but there was also, we an see, a human and exulting gladness in thc ?ignrous exercise of his intellectual gifts, n nd in he beneficent use of the graceful power which he fielded. t?uch is a brief outline of the lifo and character, nd the nurture, culture and graces of tho distin uished Prelate for whom Georgia mourns. In contemplating Ina character, wo feel that ho waa the representative of muoh that is highest ami best in Southern eociety; and we rejoice that so much at loast of Southern history is safe be? yond danger or question. Such a life and char? acter is itself the full and sufficient answer to one of the ignorant slanders of tho philanthropists of these latter d;iye. They have declared that our form of society was debasing to the negro, and pernicious to" tho whitb raco. Well, let us see. Wo received from the coast of Africa about one million of degraded savages; and, under ou* gene? rous caro and wholsome disciplino, they grow to be four millions of skilful, thrifty, cheerful and in? dustrious laborers-a larger number of civilized and christianized people than have ever been re? claimed from amongst the heathen since the early dars of Christianity. We rect ivod them a black, wooMi aired, naked, debased, brutish and repul? sive people-to whom chastity was au unknown virtue and a strange idea, and honesty was the fear of punishment or the want of opportunity whose notion of public juslice was the trial by poison, who spoke gullah, believed in greegrees. and alone of human kind worshipped the Evil Spirit. And, by our mingled kindness and disci? pline, by our justice and our gentleness, we made them such a people as to call forth the extrava? gant eulogies of our enemies themselves, who now claim for them tho full rights and highest privileges of the proudest and most enlightened Americau citizen. These eulogies may be, in a measure, unmerited and these claims unfounded. But what these people aro all can seo; and such as they are, we, under God's Providence, made them.* Nor will these, our accusers, dare to claim that they have ever contributed a man or a dollar to the work, while eminent scholars of tho South like our Bishop, as masters and teachers, were coni-picuous laborers in the merciful but humble taBk. And, again, it is these whom they libel as tho depraved white race of the South, who have not only thus subdued the savage to a merciful law., and reclaimed him to a civilized life, but it is this race too, which in the late fearful struggle for constitutional liberty, waB precipitated almost en masse into tho contest:its bone and sinew have stood upon the battle-field. And it is not saying too much to say that they havo there challenged the respect and admiration of the world. And since the time when they declared that "hopeless war is a crime," they havo not only, by the mero force of their character, maintained a just and quiet control over tho emancipated Blaves, but their intelligent submission to neoessity, their j obedience to law, and their regard to social order, combined with a firm self-respect, have merited (he approbation of all men. And the "dear wo? men of the South," have not only, from the olden times to this day, filled our Southern land with pure and happy homes, hut their conduct in that same gigantic conflict has drawn forth the grate? ful and unmeasured praise of their captive chief, who has declared that in hie judgment, they "deserved to take rank with the highest heroines of tho grandest days of the greatest. couutries." And when now we come to tho higher forms of a cultivated socird life and beneficent civilization, and consider the representative men of tho South, it is this accusation that makes us rejoice that nothing can rob us of the life and labors, tho name and tho fame of Georgia's dead Bishop andmon like. him. And when the representatives of these Southern Diocoses shall a-ain outer that august couucil of tho Church, which will meet some two j years hence, they will think mournfully aud regret? fully of him who, by right of ago and service, would have stood at their hoad. They will recall the exquisite grace, the sensitive delicacy, tho lofty wisdom and charity, the calm dignity, tho unclenching crest, and the commanding presence which could neither bo overawed by the disappro? bation of others, nor yet could ever needlessly and uub?cnmingly offend their opinions or pro? voke their prejudices. May the full and complete folds of his shining mantle fall on olher Bhouldors equal to tho high office which would have devolved upou him! In looking at his completed life, there was one remarkable gift of thia remarkable mau on which we dwell with deep and grateful emotion, and which all who over kaew him will recognize at once. We speak of the thorough humanity of his naturo, and by this wo mean the wealth and strength, tho width and fullness of tho deep hu? man sympathies in which tho learning, wisdom and graces of his naturo were veded-veiled as light is veiled in color-aa) thought is veiled in words, as feeling is veiled in music. His life seems to have beon the rich, healthy growth of early training and happy influences. Ho grew as tho tree grows from tho bursting gorm, outwards and upwards, year by year, circle upon circle, into strength and majesty, yet with the life and form of the germ all there, with the fibre ?Dd firmness of each circle there, all thoroughly sound, sound to the core, all lending strength to its growth, proportion to .its column, and grandeur to its sheltering arms. His childhood took on his boyhood, and his boyhood his manhood, and his manhood passed into the wisdom of years, all complete in the fullness of that great and bouu loou* nature, whose deep, broad, human sympa? thies thus made him the friend and companion of ali ages, classes and conditions of men-made him too, as mindful of the gentler courtesies and sweut charities of life with little boys and girls and humble men, as he was easily at homo, amidst the grander graces of social aud official in? tercourse with the wise, Jthe great, the learned and honored in the land. Doubtless to tho eje of that Omniscience which' heods the life and service, the death and fall of the humblest sparrow, amung all tho feathered tribes that praise him, the whole Jifeofamanis tho mau. Aa the spirit of the livingman penetrates, nod is bounded by every nerve aud atom ol' his Jiv? ing body, so to that eye the soul of evory man is in carnate'in hie life from the first wail of the infant . J tho last sigh before the grave, whioh thus oom pletus tho full measure of his being, and the per? fect "imago and superscription" of his identity. So, to some special natures, it is*giveu to carry 'in fell Ct tr* (Mumowy ?* **l?k**i* ntad nonaifivA ?WUQV?V UOllCSD of each period of their lives, and each vital ahRpe of their humanity. And thus did tho gifted mau whom we mourn seem to have grasped the full outline of his own lifo, and with tho sensitive glance of genius, conceived and realized each part and character in which he had lived, and was thus vividly conscious of himself to himself. His merry childhood, his bounding boyhood, his lusty youtn aud aspiring manhood, were nil the familiar com? panions and friends of tho genial man, the allies and counsellors of the august sage. And so the lu>ppy child that climbed to his breast laughed aud kissed with the happy child which, aa fruin a mirror, laughed and kissed back, again; ?nd the gallant boy shouted to the bright lover of fun within, who snouted back in echo; and the vigor? ous youth felt his outstretched hand clasped"1 by tho hand of companion whoso steady grasp closed faithfully over his own. And tho pale aud im? passioned student mot the answering glance of youthful atudenfc with "eyes of speculation" rapt in study. And the struggling mau found, in thia wise confessor, one who could understand tho story of his life because ho retained a vivid I memory of his own. Higher than all, he seemed to have kept the memory of mother and sister' and tho shrinking maiden might fool; info' tba* loving heart without faltering, ^ see a pure, sweet image o? herself?reflected there, and to feel that she shared m tho knightly tem dornest for the ideal woman ?hero cus^hrined. But yot deeper and hoher still, was kept the memory of l?a own errorb aud frajltioa; and tho ponitent Magdalen and the contrite w-> ? ^uua, in that true soul, a ftl low-ain?-?- wn0 knew how tn forgive, ag he ?ad ..lo wu what it is to bo forgiven. It was this humanity of Wa nature, these Dure, strong earthly sympathies, this veil of the flesh, in which bis piety waa olothed, whioh added so much to tho power of his life and doctriuo. His was, in? deed, a truly and deeply epiritual life in tho religious sense of that word. But thore wa?, besides this, ahu? man soulfulness, a sensitive Bympat hy with all that wascbarmiogin nature, beautiful in art, inspiriug in lifo, or awful to his country, which won for him tho regard and affection of men, who were after? wards aubdued by tho teachings of his faith and tim example of bia piety. Thun, it often happened that tho generous host or the genial frieud who received him as the gentleman, the scholar, the lover of art, the student of sciouce, or the unsel? fish patriot, learned lo know that there was some? thing deeper and holier still; and it softly stole upon his consciousness, that, in entertaining thia gifted stranger, he had "ontortained an angel un? awares." Nor waa the grateful influence of hie teaching lesa felt because it waa thin associated with the humau sympathies of common intorests, tho winniug courtesy of a gentleman, the charmB of a graceful nature, and tho strougth of a vigor? ous and comprehensivo intellect. His death waa very sudden. And yet, to those who know and considered the mau, it was what might have been looked for. Wo hav? said that his life was the rich growth of the cherished memories of thc past. And tho tempest of deso? lation aud ruin which had scourged tn? face of his loved Southern land had toru also through the brauches of this stately tree and strained it to ita fouudations. The scathing holts of war had fallen deep H midst its roots. Many ties of kindred had beeu broken. Many proud and generous associa? tions with tho past had been destroyed. Tho homos of many of his blood aud lineage had been made desolate, tho accustomed fires of their hearths had gone out in bitter ashes, and their sons and daughters were wauderiog among strangers. His hopes of constitutional liberty had been defeated. His aspirations for his j country had beeu blighted. Thus, all unseoo. the groat roots of his lifo were snapped, and the rich BOiircea of his elrengtli were dried up. And, although liko a beautiful tree, with itd roots all broken and bruised, ho still, for a time, stood poised iu tho perfect balance of his character and thc symmetrical prop jrtioi.s ut his nature, yet the groat props of his lifo had beeu taken away. And so it happened that stirred by some cold, mysterious breath of the night, with the growth and tobago of his life, all heavy with tho dew of Heavenly cares, ho tottered and fell-fell with porhapa ono last loving pang, for the cruel blow with which his sudden and resounding fail was to crash upou tho trem? bling hearts of churches and Stabi-s and friends and family. And thuB ho lay in tho majesty of death; and little children and puro women, young men aud old, tho meek and tho gentle, tho proud and ihe lowly, Ihe rich and tho poor, the great and the wise', bishops, priests, patriots, soldiers, scholars and statesmen, came to mourn around tho bier of nuble Georgia's dead Bishop. Fortuna non mutat genus was the rallying cry of thc ancient worthies; tviid amidst the social change, private ruin and political disaster which sur? rounds them, let those who bear tho unsullied name of tho saintly knight, who, in full armor, has thus fallen on sleep, and names like his, re? member, let every true Southern heart still re? member Fortuna non mutat genus.
