Those who knew the deceased would warmly have
believed she Tres 36 years of ate, so true it is that
nothing tends so lunch to preserve • youll.f.il appear-
ance so a happy, cheerful dig. osition. In Miss Louisa
Portman 's ease this no doubt arose from that inward
peace of mind resulting from a true and earnest faith in
her Saviour, whou greet atoning work she ever set
forth as the only ground of hope to thoutwho attended
the remit womenschool at Darweston, the blind school
Illandfdid, and in her house to house visitations.
' She IVO, from her labours and her works do follow
her." May others be stimulated by her example to
