MEMOIR

OF

CAPTAIN M. M. HAMMOND,

RIFLE BRIGADE.

"Come, I will shew thee a friend; I will paint one worthy of thy trust.
How beautiful thy feet, and full of grace thy coming,

O better kind companion! Thou art well for either world.
There is an atmosphere of happiness floating round that man;
Love is throned upon his heart, and light within his dwelling.

His eyes are ray'd with peacefulness; and Wisdom waiteth on his tongue."
TUPPER'S Proverbial Philosophy.
