ease, fsncied she should die. and often
assembled her friends around her bed to witness
her closing scene. After repeated false alarms.
they became convinced that she labor, ! under
disease Of the mind and advised her husband to
favor her belief about dying. Not long after
wards she was agaip attacked with her old dis
ease and posted off boy to the cornheld for her
husband to come and see her die. The husband
fastened TO her bedside. where he found her APP
parently 10 the last stages oflife. She informed
him that in one hour her sonl would wing its way
to the mansions above, and before her death she
wished to know what he would do with the chill
dren when her care of them should be at an end.
A thought struck him to try the power OF vsxa-
ton he told her, therefore with great apparent
seriousness that his thought. had been very anx
iously employed on the subject. but at length he
had come to resolution, for the sake Of the
dear innocents, which he trusted would set her
mind at rest on their account in short he had
resolved as soon after her death as decency would
permit, 10 marry Molly Brown, ian cid maid, TO
