before that the first of the the twin
died.

In Memorlsm.
Tbe announcement of the death of
our long and highly esteemed friend,
Luke Mulkey, was not much of a sur
prise to us, for we were well aware that
at his advanced age, and the condition
of his health for tbe past few month
was not such as to warrant a lengthen
ed lease of life. His demise causes us
sad reductions. A few month ago we
spent quite a pleasant converse with
him just after he had t uffered a paraly
tic stroke, and the end was approaching
but be lingered along and now Death
hits claimed him as Its own nnd he has
crossed the dark river and rests from
his lalsirs.
For a third of a century we have had
Intimate and friendly social relation
with Luke Mulkey, and we recall to
mind the kind and genial disposition
with which he over received us when
opportunity gave occasion, to call upon
him. Titus one by one the old pioneers
are passing away, nnd none has suc
cumbed to the hand of death moro high
ly respected and honored thttu our la
mented friend. I should have been
pleased to have stood by hi bedside ere
ihU spirit took Its flight, and once moro
open to the cries of d Ktressed ' nes, and
wasalwsys given with a warmth of
feeling that proved disinterested friend
ship, Some mouths ago we gathered from
him personally some aseichte of hi
life' history, but lu our wanderings
they have been lost or misluld. which
we much regret, aa we would llkd to
have presented, In the columns of the
Wkht Si hk, some points In hi history
that will now, probably, lievvr be pre
sented to tbe public. 1 rcsK!Cted and
loved blin as I Isilleve he rcsiieoted me
Itis well, ami I believe truthfully (
"ld, that the valiant never taste of
death but once, and wo who had the
honor of knowing our friend, know
that ho whs valiant and death came to
hhu not with terrors, but like the serene
and peaceful hour ol a closing Hummer
day. the spirit of our departed friend
pined Into eternity. Death lo such aa
bals but the openliu of life, the life
that live forever. Like unto a ripened
sheaf of wheat, Ilk wheat ready for the
garner, he was gathered to his father,
Of such we can truly sayi
There are no dead, we fall asleep,
To wakeu where they never weep,
We close our eyes on pain ami sin,
Oui breath ebb out. hut life flows In.
He Is gone but he left behind him a
Rpotless character worthy our Imitation.
Faithful friend, hail and farewell!
