Such was the melancholy declaration of an ancient prophet in the evil times in whicn he lived. But I thank God the times in which we live are better, and that no truly great or good man can dio in this wide extended country of ours Without proiound expressions of regret. If wisdom, science or tue tender offices of iriendship could have stayed the hand of death and prevented this crushing biow from falling upon the bereaved and aflicted family they would not be here to-day—we would not bo called upon to grieve for John A. Rawlins, late Sec. retary ot War of these Uniied States. But God called him and he must obey. Thank God, he waa not unprepared for this call. On last Sabbath afternoon, about three o'clock, I was calied tg lis bedside and found him in a dying condition. I conversed with him as to the interest of his precious soul, and as 1 addressed him I said, “Zean upon our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (” He answered ine he be been early instructed fa re- ligion ainong the Methodist peopie, and that he had not lost his early impressions. He requested to be baptized, T satd:— “Mr, Secretary, 1 will not put the usual questions used at baptism on account of your weak condition, but will embody them all in one—Do you believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Farth, and in Jegus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Saviour!”’ é ‘With singular emphasis he said, “I do.’’ I then baptized him in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. We knelé in rayer and scemed to be very near to God. 1 lelt Rim very calm, and upon my return about six o'clock. said:—General, at my former visit | omitted to administer the sacrament of our Lord's Supper; I will now do so as it will strengthen your faith.’ After some further remarks Geueral How- ard’s name was mentioned and the Secretary re: quested that he be sent for to commune with us. AS he could not be found in time we commenced to- ether, and that communion I shall never forget. Ve seemed to be on the confines o1 heaven and truly feeding on Christ. On the following morning I saw what he was sinking rapidly. I said to bim:—“My aear friend, I trust Jesa3 1s with you.” He whis- pered, “Yes.” After somo conversation we again knelt in ed He seemed to be panting for breath, but united fervently in the supplication, I took his hand and eald, “Dear brotuer, fear nots God will take care of i and yours.” He my hand fervently and I then took leave of him to meet no More, here ou earth, but I tins to meet him in the skies, I have been thus minute tn giving our conversations, because i thought the simple recital of thom would impress the hearts of these great men around us more than any edlogy of mine, Had I the time or ability to speak of Secretar, Rawlins as he deserves I would giadly do so. He wasa noble man, and his habits, disposition and feelings were such a8 imust command our admira. tion. I it ot all surprising that from the President of the United States the drummer boy 19 the army, all men to-day rise up to honor his name? He had sounded to its utmost depths that word fidelity; and it is ve torly impossible for me to go to excess in eulogizing the toorai qualities of this man. Few men can bear the test of long and intimate friend here was one of those He was a con- queror of hearts. He commanded the respect of his fellow man in every sphere of life, ‘Thero {s calm for those who weep, A rest for weary pilgrims found; Aud while the mouldoring aves sivey, Low in the ground, The sou}, of orlgin divine— God's glorious irange, freed from clay-+ In Heaven's eternal aphere shail aulag Astar of di ‘The evn te but spark of fire, ‘A transient meteor in the sky; Tho soul, immortal as ite sire, ‘Shail never die, Re rests to-day, ana [ doubt not ts with his Creator and his God. Shall l perinit this occasion to pass without some admonitory remarks to those around us? The hours coming to us all when the concen- trated wisdom and power of earth cannot stay the hand of death. Romember, that time must come to each one of us. May all meet it with the cumnees, wisdom and triamphant hope that our brother me it. Lleave you; fg A and the widow of our departed brother, to the consolation of our faith tn God; I leave yon to the care of that dear Jesus. May ho give us His blessing and gave us all.

J. the Second.” The President remarked, as between Jack Hamilton and Governor Throckmorton, or any other honest democrat, he would rather cast his vote for the latter.
