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

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.
