in South Carolina, anxious to help hif
parents as best he might, Charles Ward

?f where he modestly took the lowest po
sition in a commercial house, and b}
s merit ho rose higher, until at the end ol
e seven years he filled the highest oflic<
in that house. From Augusta he weni
to New York and filled a responsible
" post in the house oTMooro, Jenkins ?S
* Co., until it failed about five years ago
when ho was immediately employed bj
n the groat metropolitan house of Thurher,
Whyland tfc Co. He was held ir

from the principals to the humblest
clerk, in their service ; and in thai
service he was steadily and honorably
advancing. Just last Christmas h(

Young, strong, in the flush and vigoi

whose close should not be until

Frail man, hia days are like the grass.
In the morning it is green and groweth
up. in the evening it is cut down, dried

The impression made on his frienda

life had closed for him, swift as the eve
^ of tropic sun, "which sinks at once and
^ all is night."
5 Few men of his years had as many
t friends as Charles Wardlaw, and very
few deserved to have them as did he.
Attractive in personal appearance to an
unusual degree, he was still more so in
* his manners and his character. Who
that ever met him failed to lit; charmed

t conversation, he filled up the measure
of a gentleman, and a true son of South

the cloud of sorrow is fringed with
glory. When the legislator or profes'
sional man is struck down in the pride
of VOUth and on tho ihrnshnld nt' h\a
f fame, an admiring public mourns his
death. And shall we be silent when
the young man of business dies, albeit
he has passed his days iu that less public
walk of life where commerce holds
b her sway ? We may all learn a lesson
> from the life of Charles Wardlaw. He
" lived and worked as one who knew that
by being diligent in business he was
a serving the Lord; and when he died,
i old and young, rich and poor, did him
4 honor and mourned over his erave.
j The great morchant whom he served so
faithfully, said to those he left behind
in the house of business: "In your
- lives and in the conduct of iny business
let Charlie Wardlaw be your example."
And the little message boy, humblest in
that vast establishment, with tears in hie
I, eyes begged to be allowed to give a few
e pence tohelp to buy the flowers thai
e decked his bier.
? Thus lived, thus died Charles Coffin
? Wardlaw. his too short life an example
to all of love and duty to God and
man.
Ho was gathered to his fathers and
i. lies in Long Cane church-yard. Abbee
