To be known without a name, to be famous with no personal distinction - such is the reward of many a writer of our popular literature, and there is an innate nobility in the man who to the very close of his life-long labours is content with this impersonal honour. This was truly the case with our departed friend Mr. Pae. You learn now from the affectionate and just testimony of editors and fellow-workers in the profession of letters with what diligence and public benefit this popular author employed the high talent with which God had gifted him. In his own calling he used the function of a preacher of righteousness, drawing the rule and principle of conduct exemplified in his interesting tales from the best source open to man's search after wisdom. May we be allowed from this place to pay a humble tribute to the memory of one who did his endeavour to leave the world better for his presence in it - a duty and privilege held out to us all according to the ability God gives us.
