Man that is born of a woman hath but a short Time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up and is cut down like a flower. he fleeth as, it were, a shadow, And never continueth in one stay. " In the midst of life we are in death, Of whom may we seek for sueeour But of thee, O Lord."

Consecrated To the Memory of the Rev DONALD MCLEOD DD, Who departed this life Jan 30th AD 1821, In the 60th Year of his age. Few men have descended to the tomb more regretted by an extensive circle of acquaintance, than this LEARNED AND ACCOMPLISHED DIVINE. With a mind strong, comprehensive, and aspiring, he united . those traits of character, which adorned The husband, father, and friend. In his death Science and Literature have cause to mourn, and pure and liberal Christianity, to deplore the loss of an able Advocate. His morning was bright --- his noon splendid- his evening serene. As over him Death obtained no ordinary conquest, so frail mortality is more strongly reminded of that irreversible decree ; " Dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return."
