were few and difficulties many. It was very touching to see the marks of love and appreciation from the whole town when his remains left for Philadelphia.
All those who knew Dr. Lloyd will be interested in this tribute to her hushand's memory, written by one of his life-long friends, at the time of his death:
AT Bangor, Michigan, on the 6th inst., FRANKLYN LLOYD, formerly of Philadelphia, in the 34th year of his age.
The Dread Archer has chosen a shining mark. He has added another to the list of his noble victims. To our shortsighted human vision, every circumstance conspires to make this bereavement more cruel, and our grief more poignant. A mind singularly gifted with those qualities which commend the admiration of men, and tempered by that training in the school of Christ which makes them the blessing of society, might seem fitly to demand long years of usefulness. A judgment so clear and just, an integrity so unflinching, a heart so generous and tender, an energy so untiring, would appear entitled in the economy of human progress, to the fullest scope for their benign influences on the world. But "God seeth not as man seeth," and we record, submissively, our sorrow for one of the truest of men.
Every relation of life bears him grateful witness. As a son and brother, always thoughtful and affectionate; as a friend, of well-tried, never-failing constancy; and as a husband, the tenderness with which his first vows were breathed, seemed to be only deepened and ripened by the lapse of time. At a sacrifice of self, he chose deliberately that position, in a comparatively unbroken country, which afforded the largest field for his industry and talent. With undaunted resolution, he met and conquered every difficulty of a new aud untried enterprise, and at an age when the names of most men are scarcely heard in an active community, this young stranger was acknowledged and respected as a leading spirit.

ing to see the marks of love and appreciation from the
whole town when his remains left for Philadelphia.
All those who knew Dr. Lloyd will be interested
in this tribute to her husband’s memory, written by
one of his life-long friends, at the time of his death :
‘At Bangor, Michigan, on the 6th inst., FRANKLYN LLoyp,
formerly of Philadelphia, in the 34th year of his age.
‘The Dread Archer has chosen a shining mark. He has
added another to the list of his noble victims. To our short-
sighted human vision, every circumstance conspires to make
this bereavement more cruel, and our grief more poignant. A
mind singularly gifted with those qualities which commend the
admiration of men, and tempered by that training in the
school of Christ which makes them the blessing of society,
might seem fitly to demand long years of usefulness. A judg-
ment so clear and just, an integrity so unflinching, a heart so
generous and tender, an energy so untiring, would appear
entitled in the economy of human progress, to the fullest scope
for their benign influences on the world. But “God seeth not
as man seth,” and we record, submissively
of the trnest of men.
Every relation of life bears him grateful witness. As a

friend, of well-tried, never-failing constancy ; and as a husband,
the tenderness with which his first vows were breathed, seemed
to be only deepened and ripened by the lapse of time, At a
sacrifice of self, he chose deliberately that position, in a com-
paratively unbroken country, which afforded the largest field
