On Friday the 5th instant, ,departed this life at the
house of David Meade, Esq; in Nansemond, Miss
ELlZABETl-I PRENTIS, in the 181h year of her
age. She was the daughter of the late Mi William
Prentis, merchant, of this city. Providence, whose bles
singe are sparingly, but wisely dillributed, lent her to the
world as a Fattern for imitation. At a time oslise when
few pay more attention to religion than by consorming
to its fashion. she 'well knew and practised i't: principles.
Herichearsulness, her humanity and benevolcnce, were
the-essulions of a heart panting to acquire happinesa
herself, by imparting happinesa to other:. The
care of her-amiable parent: had formed 'her for ess
pleasing seem intercourse of life ; and Whilst she hel
its utmost purity—the mild and pleasing conduct of a vir
gin, she possessed a superiority of soul which would
'have adorned or dtgnisied either sex, or any (lation.
-Tlms formed to please on earth ; thus fitted for a better
place; Death (too formidable alas to many) to her
seemed only as a necessary conductor to her proper refi—
' dence : Tbe bosom as bar Father, and her God.
