Arthur Fuller-did not adopt that literary career to which his sister would fain have led him; but his was a life of unwearied labor and great practical usefulness; and when, after the resignation of his army chaplaincy, he took a musket from the hands lways valued so much; let me not find you unworthy of the love I felt for you.
