(By request.) Theodore Minis, April 15, 1850. Death ever brings to sorrowing friends pain and agony. When the eye is closed—when the tongue has ceased its functions—when the limbs are cold and rigid, who can gaze upon the lifeless tenement of the soul without awe and sorrow? We may bow in resignation to the will of God, we may kiss the hand that slayeth ;but yet when we feel a now that the eye, once bright and beaming with, love and intelligence, will never gaze on us again ; that we shall no more hear the accents of affection that were wont to gladden our hearts ; then, oh, then, the heart will sicken, and the brightness of this world be shrouded in darkness. Such were our thoughts and feelings whilst gazing on the lifeless remains of THEODORE MINIS, who departed this life on Friday, the 15th instant, aged twenty-four years. Mr. MINIS was a descendant of one of the oldest
families in this state—indeed, a family identified
with its history, having originally emigrated to
this country with Oglethorpe, the founder of
Georgia, and who, amid all the changes and
fluctuations of life—almost always deprived of, the
aids of. Synagogue worship—have ever remained true
to the faith of Abraham, and have ever worshipped
the pure unity of the God of Israel. |
