The world is the better for his having lived in it and contributed to its progress. We know that he faced the end—he knew it was coming months before the Grim Reaper cut the final tie-with the same cheerful and quiet fortitude he evinced through all his life. Eight years ago Judge Guyer delivered what I believe to have been one of the notable memorial addresses delivered in the Hall of Representatives. He closed that address with these lines from a great dramatic critic, William Winter, written while he was facing eternity:

"One other bitter drop to drink,

And then-no more!

One little pause upon the brink,

And then-go o'er!

One sigh-and then the lib'rant morn

Of perfect day,

When my free spirit, newly born,

Shall soar away.

"One pang-and I shall rend the thrall
Where grief abides,

And generous Death shall show me all

That now he hides;

And lucid in that second birth,

I shall discern,

What all the ages of the earth

Have died to learn.

"One motion and the stream is crost,

So dark, so deep!

And I shall triumph, or be lost,

In endless sleep.

Then onward whatso'er my fate,

I shall not care!

Nor sin nor sorrow, love nor hate
Can touch me there."
