MARRIED
In Boston, Mr. Samuel Davenport, mer. to Miss Deb
by J°n% daughter of Edward JoneffEfq.
On Thursday the 18th inst. in her 70th year died,
and on the following Tuesday was interred Mrs.
giANNAH BRACKETT, widow of the late excel
lent Doctor Joshua Brackett, of Portsmouth.
Tho' funereal praise is too often indiscriminately lav
ished on theworthless, and the worthy, yet silence on
the present occasion would be injustice to the dead,
and treason to the living. So distinguished a char
acter claims particular notice. Such a rare exam
ple of yirtue and talents, may servy to excite emu
lation, and demands universal homage and respect,
Mrs. Brackett was a native of Kittery in the
State of Massachusetts. Her family was respecta
ble. Her father Capt. William Whipple died
while she was young. Her mother, who lived to
an advanced period, was distinguished for intellec
tual, as well as moral qualities, both natural and ac
quired. She was sister to the late General Whip
ple, a worthy and conspicuous character in the late
American] revolution. Tho' enjoying peculiar ad
vantages in her education ; to her own native ge
hius and uncommon exertions she was chiefly in
debted for her surprising, attainments. Perhaps
few women in any age, or country, have acquired
an ampler fund of useful knowledge than she pos
sessed. In New-Hampshire it is not surely too much
to say, she was unrivaled. Yet all this was “so
meekly borne," so averse was she to any ostenta
tious display of what few besides ever possessed
without the most afferent consciousness, that un
less called forth by proper occasions, she chose rath
er to conceal, than obtrude, op her audience, espe
cially if strangers, her intellectual excellencies and
acquirements.
Though her mind was peculiarly adapted to the
belles lettres in which she was perfectly accomplish-,
ed, her favorite study was natural fthilosofthy, and
the theory of the human mind, and the rather, as
these more immediately led to the knowledge of
their divine author, whom she delighed to contem
plate and adore. Her apprehension was quick, her
fancy vivid, her penetration keen, and herjudgment
Uncommonly strong and correct. But great as she
appeared in all mental endowments, the qualities
of her heart, if possible, surpassed them. Her
Soul was attuned to sympathy. In friendship she was
constant, ardent, and sinc^e. And where she had
once professed it,, no remissness, no supposed un-
Worthiness, could ever root from her bosom the
heavenly principle. “ She rejoiced with them that
rejoiced, and wept with them that wept," though
the latter was to her by far the greatest luxury.
She was truly “ the friend of the needy, and him
who had no helper." Possessed of the strongest
sensibilities, she yet had a perfect command over
her passions, except those amiable and melting ones,
love and pity. Truth, and incorruptible integrity,
were most distinguished traits in the character of
4kis excellent woman. Candid in the highest de
gree, she never rashly censured any,but was always,
where there was the least room for it, the advocate
W the absent.
She delighted to applaud merit, and slander
shrunk abashed from her frown. Dignity and sweet
ness were blended in every action, find proclaimed
her at once both great and good. That the loss of
her most invaluable husband with whom she had
lived for more than forty years in the most unin
terrupted harmony, should deeply affect such a
mind, such a heart,is not surprizing. Thougli per
fectly resigned to the divine will, a tender mekin
cholly took possession of her soul, and though it in
terrupted no domestic, or other duty, it probably
hastened her end. Some expressions which she
dropt before her death plainly shewed that after
that irreparable loss, her thoughts were wholly fix
ed on another and better world, to which his spirit
had flown before her. In whom herweepihg kin
dred and acquaintance have lost a sister, a paren^a
friend ! the poor a munificent benefactor,her sex the
hoblest exemplar,and our common country one of its
brightest ornaments.
Look down, exalted spirit ! from the skies,
With beams of pity, and forgive our sighs !
Tho' of thy bliss assur'd, yet while below,
The sigh will burst, the tear unbidden flow.
Who' far remov'd above the reach of ill,
Thou still remember'st what thou oft did'st feel.
Imbu'd with sympathy, thou had'st an ear
Tor ev'ry plaint ! for ev'ry grief a tear !
Instruct us how tyjoin thee in the skies,
Where tears are wip'd forever from all eyes^
Methinks I see heav'n's portals wide display,
To give thee entrance to the realms oj day.
The partner of thy bosom to his heart
Once more infolds thee=never more to part !
-Friends, parents,kindred, strangers,joyful crowd
To hail thee Welcome to the blest abode.
With golden harps, glad cherubs thee inclose ;
Palms grace thy hands ! a diadem thy brows. .
C-loath'd in white robes wash'd in the Savior's blood
You join th' innumerable multitude
That round the throne, loud halelujahs raise,
And spend a whole eternity in praise.
