Biography of a Good Boy.
Rev A. Cookman has, at our earnest so
licitation, furnished' the following 'sk. - etch,
which we gladly publish for the benefit of
our young readers: - •
" Our precious son, Alfred-Bruner"Cook-
man, was born in , the borough of West
Chester; Chester county, Penn'a, on the
11th of June, 1552. He brought to our
home great joy, and for nearly sixteen
'years was a constant satisfaction and com
fort. If there is such a thing as natural
goodness, ho seemed to be the fortultate
possessor. His instincts were all in the di
rection of virtue and propriety. Strictly
conscientious, we never heard of his utter
ing either a profane or an obscene word.
No one ever suspected him of anything like
falsehood. As our memory serves us now,
we cannot recall a single act of disobedi
cube to his parents. In the family circle he
stood as a faithful little monitor, constantly
careful respecting the morals, habits, man
ners and appearance of his brothers and
sisters. Naturally dignified and thought
ful, he impressed all by his quiet move
ments, his perfect politeness, and his sin
gular sense of propriety.
With these superior qualities of character
he associated fine intellectual characteris
tics. ills feeble health extending through
a number of years, had hindered some
what his literary culture, nevertheless, few
boys of age had read so 1.11 ucb . He was
a voracious reader. Sometimes we would
chide hint for his application to his book,
and had-literally to drive him • into other
exereisps.... • I. •
'ln the use of his pencil he evinced great
taste and skill. An amateur artist orphil
adelphin, after looking at some of his pro
ductions congratulated us on his superior
talent, suggesting that it furnished promise
of future fame.
In his recitations on the occasions of an
niversitries and public meetings—(ea - excises
that he always enjoyed)—he was graceful,
impressive and popular. It is a significant
fact in this connection, that his last and one
of his happiest declamatiMis was The
burial of Sir John Moore."
His thoughtfulness revealed itself in his
attention to and rernembrane.e of sermon;
the numerous questions be would ask on
Scriptural, theological and general sub
jects, and his; interest on the vital question
of his personal salvation.
Five years since when we expected him
to die, be professed to experience on his
bed of sickness the forgiveness of his sins.
When ho partially recovered, one of his
first wishes was to unite himself with the
church. Accordingly ou the first Sabbath
of 1663, when he was ten years of age, his
dear mother led him to the, altar, while his
father had the exceeding joy of welcoming
him as a probationer in the, Central AL E.
Church, in the city of New York. -
His Christian life was marked by consist
ency of conduct, and strict attention to reli
gious duty. His prayers wore never for
gotten. Ifis' Bible was read every day.
His class-meeting was regularly attended.
Fond of his Sabbath-school he was always
in his place, and for his teacher and class
mates cherished a special love., Those
classmates had the melancholy privilege of
bearing his precious body carefully and
lovingly to its last resting place.
Since our dear boy's death we have found
his diary, kept when he was but twelve
years of age. A. few extracts will throw
'some light on his character and life.
Dec. 16, 1861, ho records. "last night we
had a snow storm ; this morning I shovel
ed off the -side-walk. In the afternoon I
went to the Gymnasium; when returning
home the street ears were so much crowd
ed that I had to wait a long time--/ prayed
to Cod, that the other cars might not be so
crowded, and the next one that came along
was not so much crowded."
Jan. 8, 1865, he writes, "To-day I have ex
perienced religion. In the afternoon I
went up to the altar but did not find Christ.
In the evening I found him. Glory God"
—This was rather a. restoration of the joys
of God's salvation. .
Feb. 2. "To-day we bad a surprise party
at Mrs. T's"---Then he records what he and
his little brothers and companions gave
this bumble and afflicted widow, and con

Soon after he cattle to Philadelphia, 'three
years since, he helped to establish a boys'
Sabbath` evening prayer meeting. At this
service quite a number of his young friends
professed to'experienee' the pardon of sin—
among the rest the son of our' beloved
Bishop Simpson. Thus his life flowed
along beautifully and lovingly and usefuli
ly, until 'the 'latter part of :January last;
when a deep cold fell•" upon' his . 'heart (his
feeble organ) -developing • in the form of
:pericarditis. liis illness was attended-With
great pain, obstinate fever and frequent op
pression that soon robbed him of-strength
and nosh. 'Sitting, in upright position
sometimes for days • and nights together,
witt,hisr.feet: fearfully swollen, he nevortbe l .
less possessed his soul in beautiftil patience.
No one heard from him one. Word of muri
mering or repining: Every day his Bible
was carefully read, while'in his devotions
ho N‘ould insist on kneeling down, despite
all 'his disability, and would spend- lark
seasons in communion with God:.
To his father he gave the assnrance4ltat
Ms trust was in Christ, - and Jesus - was pr'e
aloes. When asked if all was well in an
eternal point of view? he answered, "Yes
sir."
The lust day of his life,=hrareh 2nd; r'eason
was trembling on her throne,. He: seemed
oblivious to the presence.of• relatives-and
friends nevertheless-was to all human-ap 7 ;
pearance the subject of intense suffering.
This of course terribly taxed the sensibili
ties of his ,sympathizing parents - and- kin
dred. Concerned that .he ; should have re
lief,the family. were called to prayer. -They
knelt around-Bruner's dying bed.; -They
asked God, if in accordance with his will to
save the boy from his - apparent suffering;
and to give hint a:moment of consciousness
before,his death . that •he might indulge us
ofrecognition, that would be a
last precious legacy—God mereifullrheard
and answered ourprayer. Very soon the
dear suffering , boy sank into.a.quiet -Slum
ber that continued , until nearly midnight.
—About ten minutes to twelve, with .respi 7
ration interrupted, he suddenly opened his
large blue eyes, never brighter or:Traor°
beautiful; and looked arotind . lovingly on
his parents and friends. At that mbitient
milt-inn the more excellent glory darted
upon and quite Blunted his face and: form,
This ludo was perceived and enjoyed ;by
every one in the room. ..His greatly afflict
ed mother, with his hand clasped in per's
said, "I give yeti to Jesus, Brunie, I
couldn't give you to any other, oh, say,
don't you know' me irty angel boy? don't
you know, your precious mamma?" Ho
a.
gave hersweet smile of recognition—the
legacy desired ; the prayer answered—then
closed his eyes in death, and his beautiful
spirit was with the angels,
"Landed safe on Canaan's side." -
Our glorified boy We praise God .for
the temporary loan._ It-, made earth:more
beautiful, it makes heaven more attractive.
turieral 4-ervice!is'- Were -- heldt in the
Spring Garden M. E. Church, which was
densely crowded by a deeply sympathizing
multitude, The Sabbath-school of which
Bruner wits a member, was present, and
sang tenderly a number of their most beau
tiful hymns,
Rev. Bros. Mason, Atwood, Ilodgson,
?liaison and Thompson, took part the
exercises. Rev. Bishop Simpson delivered
the address, and never spoke words more
tender, beautiful, appropriate or' soothing.
At the close 'of, the exercises' the,

forward and looked for the • last time upon
the calm, quiet, and beautiful face of our
Christian . boy. At: the cemetery—Laurel
Bro. Torrence, who fifteen years
before had -dedicated Bruner• to God, in
