JUNE, 1872.7 GROCERS! panion in the journey of so maoy years is no more. In the awful darkness of this bereavement, you grope around, feeling for him, but find him no longer at your side. The support of that strong arm on which you have so confidingly leaned, can no longer shield or sustain you. You call, but no response comes bark. Your wail of entreaty falls upon the dull cold ear of death; and the tongue that never faltered in itsresponse of tender ess is mute and silent forever.

But let. it cheer you, that Jesus has promised to be a husband to the widow. He, alo.it-, can supply the cordial of consolation to your wounded heart. Nerve yourself for your new duties, for your greater responsibilities. No one can share those burdens with you now; but the thought of doing what he would approve, and smile to see you do, if he were alive aud looking on, will nw kc you strong for the burden, and cheer you all along the way.

Son, let me charge you, amid the soler. nities of this hour, cherish the memory of that dear, departed father. Never, never let that drooping, sorrowing mother have occasion to sigh over your 'raywardness or disobedience. Stand nobly by ber side. Kansas Pacific R.

Lovejoy delivered a very solemn and pathetic funeral sermon of which we are able to furnish our readers with a synopsis: Text Job 16-22. hen afters fW are come, then I shnll shall not return. The cor tnonn a frequently cai of. The un ristx think of it. Every ua, iy goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the street; that is an occurrence little thought of.

Yet it is a matter of great concern to every human being; and though the solemn subject may net be pleasant, yet it is tbs highest wisdom to be prepared for the event, by that method which s. ri.t by the G-p 1 of Christ. While deatn is glooiiiy and melancholy to the child of pleasure a to the man overwhelmed with business and to the devotee of mam-monr it is, nevertheless, sometimes regarded as a welcome messenger by the alfiicted, and those who are appointed to death, and who possess a good hope through grace. The important truth asserted by Job. He refers to his own death, by a figure he represeuts as a journey "When a few years are come, then I shall go he way whence I shall not return." The body must journey to tne grave and the spirit to God, the judge of all.

''Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return unto God, who gave it." This event is full of solemn import. What is death? It is quitting the present sceno of existenee; it is the cessation of existence here. The lungs no longer ave; pulsation stops: the blood ceases to flow and congeals; the tongue is silent; the hand forgets its cunning; the whole structure becomes motionless, pale and ghastly. Death is the seperation of body and soul. The dissolution of every relative and social tie, however tender and endeared.

It is the cessation of all human pursuits and the relinquishment of all human possessions. It is a journey that must be performed alone. Death is a journey that must be taken by all. 'Death has passed upon all men, for that all men have sinned." It is in the grave that the rich and the poor meet together; rulers as. well as subjects, philosophers as well as the foolish.

A century removes all the inhabitants of the globe to the silent grav. All that now live, in one hundred years to come, will be no more. Death is unavoidable. It is an established fact. By the decree, "Dust thou art, and to dust thou AND CHAS.

But, how ever, it may huve bean regarded the "noblest Roman of them all," still a sudden death is something which fthclr (Via fnniri.i!iyv i Vr.rn ft linnprns ito tail, aii ittui) LliLii. to think of the- event with a feeling ol awe aud perhaps no death of this character has ever produced such a shock to the feelings of our citizens, as did that of O. O. Kelsea, one of the most prominent among us, on Saturday morning of last week.

Many who had been with him, talking brightly of the future, and passing pleasantly the evening before were awe-stricken Saturday morning at the news of his death the band which had grasped that of friends' with its cordial grasp aa the shades of night descended awoke to learn that it was cold and motionless in death. HhHaroily consisting of a wife anuson, yeilded to the pleasant embrace ol Morpheus with as little thought that their family circle was so 6oon to be broken as did any other family in the city; and before one o'clock had arrived the family consisted only of a widow and an orphan. COL. O. O.

KELSEA was born Oct. 9th 1829 at Lisbon, Grafton county, New Hampshire, his life was a varied one leaving school at the age of fifteen he labored faithfully at the anvil for his father for the next two years after which he learned the carpenters trade. At one time he-was a music teacher, and he and two other gentlemen in company with two ladies of Boston, gave concerts in many of the cities and towns of New England, and it intervals during the summer months he taught school. In 1851 he was married to Mary E. Emery, a refined and highly educated lady, and daughter of a prominent family in New Hamshire who is now his widow.

A few months before the war he removed to Medina Ohio. At the begining of fcthe war he went out as Capt. of Co. H. 8th Ohio Inafantry, and after passing through several se ere engagements in West Virgicia, he was obliged to give up the of his company by reason of ill health, having served nine months, during this time he did valuable service To the army by bis faithfulness in the secret service at one time undertaking au adventure as a scout, previous to his undertaking this daring attempt, after his ruturn from the army he engaged in the commission business in Bryan Williams county, Ohio and while there was elected DEALER IN "So Tedious Omnibus or Transfers by I Ills Rou And no Lay-Over on Saturday or Express trains run daily.

Brother Masons, let us cherish the thought, to cheer our hearts in this bereavement, that, though our brother has gone "the way whence he shall not return," his works remain, and shall continue to abide, as a living monument to the high and enoblinf principals of our holy order. Beloved friends, one and all, amid this scene of bereavement and of agony there comesa voice of sweetest melody aud of divinest authority to relieve our despondency and chase our gloom away.

glorious hope, we mingle the ashes of our brother with their native earth, rejoicing that there shall be a resurrection of the dead. Amen.

Thus we hare lost a valuable citizen Ins family mourns the loss of an affectionate husband and father, and the community is deprived of one whom they can ill spare. The new claboose is now in full operation. It is a great convenience to the polieceman on this side, and the people who seek its cooling seclusion. People who inhabit central Missouri possess rather strange notions as to Kansas. While on a visit there, recently, we were interogated severely concerning this wild, uninhabited country, and "smiles, that were childlike and bland," o'erspread the countenances of those to whom we announced the fact that we enjoyed all the comforts of modern times and were far ahead of them in enterprise our citizens were fully as intelligent as any class, and our agricultural and natural advantages equal to the best.

Be ready- Accumulated experiences all around us, warn us to be ready. The solemn occasion upon which we have assembled to-day, tpeaks plainly, saying, be ready. It is an event followed by vastly solemn results. To the individual himself, it ends his probation. It is the departure of his soul into eternity; it is the apprehension of it, either by demons or angels, it is the transmis sion of it to heaven or to perdition.

It ends the conflicts and trials of the righteous, it is the commencement of all the woes of the wicked. It is a journey from which there is no return. ''But now he is dead; can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but hshall not return to me." In vain we linger by tbe corpse, the countenance will no more smile upon us. In vain we go to the grave, deaf to our cries, it will not give back its trust. Col.

Ora O. Kelsea, our friendmnd brother, has gone upon this journey. Cut off in the early noon of his manhood, from the midst of his usefulness, and iust as his intellectual and moral worth was attaining proper public recognition. The community mourn his loss; the church mourn it; (though not a member thereof yet he was one of the most active, punctual and benevolent friends she ever had outside her pales;) the Sabbath School mourns it; and, above all, his friends and family bow down in sorrow under the terrible bereavement that has fallen upon them.

Returning to Bryan in 1866 he settled up his business and removed to Brooklyn Nfw York again engaging in the commission buainess in New York City, still retaining his connection with the secret service.

In November following he returned to Sau-boruton in his native State for the purpose of educating his son Carols. Here he lived until in 1869, when he came to Topeka, his family following him soon afterwards, and engaged in the real estate business in connection with S. C. Gregg, Esq. He was engaged in many public matters here, he was one of the founders of the "Golden Rule A.

Though not a member of any church, and dis liking cant, where it assumes the place of true religion, he was still a man of unexceptionable morals aud temperate, we might almost say abstemious in his habits, being a member of the Good Templar's organization.

One observation struck everyone whose pleasure it was to be acquainted with OoL Kelsea, very forcibly, that was, the general spirit of manliness that pervaded the man and his conduct one look at him would convince even the amateur physiognomist that ho would never stoop to do a little or unmanly act.
