Obituary.
the spirit was preparing to wing its flight to eternity ; but before it finally left , our Brother spoke with the presage of a hopeful change ; " I have not many hours to live , " said he , "but I feel perfectly resigned ; I have made my peace with man , and shall quit life without regret ; my family arrangements are completed , and I have but one duty to perform , and that is to make some observations in regard to yourself . " We cannot enter into these particulars ; suffice it that Canham " made a
clean breast of it , " although much of what he stated was previously known to us ; yet the deposition of " Canham the Tyler" will not readily be effaced from our memory . AVe followed his remains , and thus ended our mutual compact as Masons .
