Political storms raged around him, during
these long stretches of time, and he never
hesitated to take his position, in the open:
but his motives were so unquestionable, and
his-methods so free from offense, that nobody
ever hated Pat Hill.
It simply could not be done. His character
was so far above reproach, his conduct so de
void of partisan rancor, his social bearing so
gentle, genial and full of the milk of human
kindness, that his venerable figure passed
calmly through the turmoils of faction, with
out being lost for a moment in the clouds of
dust.
At seventy-five years of age, his frame was
overcome by the burden of increasing infirmi
ties. The machine was worn out. It had
done its appointed work, and was done.
Just as he had lain down to sleep, during
all those years, and had slept because too tired
to stay awake, so at the close of the Long
Day of Life, he was tired, and he simply—-
like a weary child—went to sleep.
The silver cord slipped loose, without a
sound: the good old man died, as he had
lived, gently and in peace.
