In the death of WILLIAM YOUNG ?MORDE'CAI, eldest son ot" Augustus Mor dectl and Rosina Ursula Young, his wife, this -community and Emmanuel Cliurch have suffered a distinct loss. Born and reared amongst us, we have watched his character unfolil from the attractive boy into tlie perfect type of a noble Christian manhood. Possessed of a nature warm and kindly, it was his . privilege to make and hold his friends far heyond the lot of most men. He was honored and beloved of all, because he loved all. His father's death ("when he was but eleven years of ase) was not only a sor? row, but a sacred responsibility laid upon him, which dignified and ennobled his whole lif<>, since at that tender age he became the protector of his mother and tlie head of tho family. Bis younger brothers and sisters never questioned his authority, but yielded him a loving obe? dience in all things, while they ever looked up to him with reverence and ad? miration. None who were privileged to see him in that family circle can ever forget the tendfr love, the solf-control, the thoughtfillness, the patience, the wis? dom, the faithfulness, which ?pervaded all his actions. What a son! What a bro? ther he was! . .Noble and commanding in person, he , was not less so in character. Honor was his -watchword and duty his principle. Of a rare mind, he with, few? advantages' accomplished much in general informa? tion and al?os many special lines. His wit was ready and charming, but with? out any tinge of bitierness. though more than tlie usual share of sorrows and dis? appointments had been his fate. Prom his youth up he ever loved the "best things,-' and his influence was always on the side of truth, purity, and g??otl ness. ?Strong in his convictions and brave in nature, there was no parley when duty called. So, in the tierce conflict of 1861 '65; he left his widowed mother to join his two other brothers In the field, and there remained until tho bitter end. At the close of the war he. like many others, returned to his ruined home, and once more took up the duties awaiting lilin there, faithful in all things. His love for his State was boundless. Her claims he had learned at his mo? ther's knee, and to her he Rave an ardent devotion, which ended only with his life. Virginia never had a more loyal, true hearted son. nor one who served her more gladly. Would that there were more like him! Tn 1STC he married Miss Helen Alvis Norwood, who, with live children, now survive him. Of him as a husband and father we cannot speak. We dare not enter the sacred portals of that ideal home. It will follow his children as a bienediction through life. Eoi- som? time past his health had failed, but during these long months of increasing weakness the same gentle pa? tience was manifested, the same unselfish thought of others. There was a ready acquiesccncc?nay, cve.n cheerfulness? in his Father's will, which made that room the chamber of peace. Brave, hum bleN earnest, patient, self-sacrificing, he was ever loyal to the church he loved, and which ho attended regularly for more than forty years, and of which he was senior warden at the time of his death. He now sleeps in the quiet "God's acre" at dear Emmanuel, awaiting the glorious Easter morn, when " Soul and hody meet again No more sorrow, no more weeping, no more pain! Soul and body reunited? Henceforth nothing shall divide: "Waking up. in Christ's own likeness. satisfied." ? * * DEATHS. BRAXTON.?Died, in Birmingham. Ala Thursday. March _!"th. CHARLES CAR?
