DIED, on Tuesday morning last, in the
AID year of her age, Mrs. ELIZABETH
X. MORGAN, tonsort or Mr.. William
Morgan, of this place.
-, suddenly, of bilious fever, on
the goth uit. at Rock Landing, n. c. Mr..
JAMES WADE, a native OF ireland, but
for several years citizen of Lydchburg.
COMMUNICATED
D1ED-at the Warm Springs, on Satur-
day the Goth of August last, after an illness
of but a few days, Mr.. JOHN BAILEY,
aged IT, citizen of this place
1t is a common and obvios fault in our
memorials of the dead, that we bestrew
their graves with the wreath of every vir-
lue--we ascribe to them every quality of
the heart, every attribute Of the mind which
adorn and ennoble our nature--and those
kind feelings, the exercise of which we de
MED TO the living, we now pour forth with
an lndiscrlminate profusion on those who
have ceased to exist.
The author of this brief notice feels too
much awed with the solemnity of the sub
jet, to sport with the sanctity Of truth
Death has placed an inseparabIe barrier,
aud has imposed silence beyond the pow
er of the human tongue to disturb, between
such as have gone to the realms of spirit
aud eternity, and those who sill remain in
this world of time and sense-the dead can
no longer inhale the incense of aduation-
they can no longer be soolhed by the voice
of fiattery and of falsehood-they are alike
beyond our praise and our reproach-they
leave nought of their existence, but their
memofy,which neither partiality has pow
er to adorn with unmerited praise, nor ca
lumny, which outlives death, 10 destroy
The deceased, sprung from the humble
walks of life, without the advantages Of ed
ucation, or aid of friends--by the native
powers of his own mind, united with dill
genee and industry, was advancing with
rapid strides to wealth and emnence in the
ayocation Of life which he selected for his
pursuit--but commerce did not have upon
him its usual and debasing iniluence--his
heart was not hardened by ayarice or chill
ed by that selfish prudence which knows
not TO feel, still less TO relieve the wants and
miseries Of another His vices were of
pardonabie kind--they were the offspring of
a sanguine adventurous emper--harmless
to all but himself--let them be Forgiven
II is an enqulry--a curiosity natural to the
human heart TO know with what feelings
those who have departed this life have EN-
countered this last Of human evils.--The
deceased from the deirium of disease, was
insensibe ofhis approaching fate-he knew
not that the angel Of death was IN waiting
to receive his spirit--he died unhauuted by
those terrors Of futurity which christianity
presents to those who have believed with
out fulfilling its precepts. But philosophy
would hope, that as human life has been a
burthen Imposed upon us, and not of our
own seekng-as sin has been constituted
an ingredient of our nature-and as passion
has been breathed into this frame by the
very spirit which created tive are not to
expiate in eternal flames, the momentdry
evils we may have committed in this life.

The smiling fields. the dark green

The insect fluttering for an hour
All things proclaim that God is good.

Hills that have for ages stood,
And clouds with gold and silver lined,
Are still repeating God is good.
Zach little rill that many year
Has the same verdant path pursued,
And every bird. in accents clear,
Joins in the song that God is good.
The restless main. with naughty roar
Gains each wild wave, and billow
rude,
Retreats submissive from the shore,
And swells the chorus God is good.
Countless hosts Of burning stars
Sing his praise with light renewed;
The rising sun each day declares
In rays ofgloty God is good.
The moon that walks in brightness saws,
God is good land man, endued
With power TO speak his Makers praise,
Should s'ill rcpca' thai Geo is GOOD.
