Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse Concerning Some Effects of the Late Civil War: On Ecclesiastical Matters in Kentucky, Delivered in the Hall of the City Library, Lexington, Kentucky on Sunday, November 15th, 1866 To the memory of Marahall Headly, late of Allendale, Jessamine county, Kentucky, I dedicate the following discourse. Between him and the writer there was a substantial agreement on all the great issues of the civil war and especially on the subjects treated in the address, which were often and, anxiously discussed, during the last year of his life. A thoughtful man, but never in haste to speak, lie incessantly pondered in his heart the great issues of the terrible conflict, and though sorrowful always, and at times desponding, he never faltered in stern loyalty to his government, nor to his race; or in fealty to his Saviour. Of ample fortune, yet despising the social consideration which men are too apt to claim on that ground alone, he was, to the last, the friend and intimate companion of the poorest of men. Making no pretension to learning, his knowledge of men, of society, and of all the graver affairs of human life, was wide, intimate and accurate. His habit of uttering the most matured opinions in the interrogative form, as though he would inquire rather than affirm, did not conceal from his intimate friends, his just confidence in the general correctness of the conclusions he had reached. In the constant exercise of a most generous hospitality, and though in the Fifty-ninth year of his age, he had the happy faculty of making himself agreeable to the young of both sexes, and his usually quiet, country home, was, for them, a chosen place of gathering. Alas! we shall see him on earth no more. At a lime when we expected it not - in July, 1866. the Destroyer came, and our cherished, most constant friend passed away. Our sorrows may be soothed by the firm belief that another tired spirit has found rest in heaven, and we may seek to assuage our grief by the hope of meeting him there, when the dream of life is past ;but we shall not think of our great loss without sighing, nor cease to feel that for our riven hearts j4ici-y is no perfect healing this side the tomb. Farewell "Marshall." The remains of men have been followed to the grave by more weepers than I followed thine, but none by truer, sadder hearts, and of those bleeding hearts, few were more hopelessly crushed than was his, who now lays this humble, but tear-bellowed tribute of affection on thy grave.
