Lord Russell parted from his lady with
composed silence; and, observing how
greatly she was supported, said, after she
was gone: The bitterness of death is
now past - for he loved and esteemed
her beyond expression. He declared that
"she had been great blessing to him;
and observed, that he should have been
miserable, if she had not possessed SO
great magnanimity Of spirit, joined to her
tenderness, as never to have desired him
to do base thing to save his life" He
said, "There was signal providence Of

BIOGRAPHY.
LADY RACHEL RUSSELL,


Daughter Of the earl Of Southampton,
= was born about the year 1886. She ap-
pears to have possessed truly mobile
mind, solid understanding, and an ami
able and benevolent temper. Her pious
resignation and religious department,
under the pressuM Of very deep distress,
affords highly instructive example,
and an eminent instance Of the power of
Religion to sustain the mind in the great
est storms and dangers, when the waves
Of affection threaten to oyerwhelm it,
1t is we'll known, that the husband of
this lady, William, Lord Russell, was be-
headed-in the reign Of c harles the second;
that he was man Of great merit and
that he sustained the execution Of his Sc
we're sentence with christian and invinci-
bic fortitude. During the period Of her
lllustrious husbands troubles, she con-
Quoted herself with mixture Of the most
tender affection aud the most surprising
magnanlmity. She appeared in court at
his trial; and when the attorney general
told him she might employ the hand Of
one OF his servants in waiting, to take
notes Of the evidence for his use," lord
Russell answered, that "he asked none,
but that OF the lady who sat by him.
The spectators, at these words, turned
their eyes, and beheld the daughter Of the
virtuous Southampton rising up TO assist
her lord in this his utmost distress: a
thrill OF anguish ran through the assem-
bly,. After his condemnation, she threw
herself at the kings feet: and pleaded,
but, alas IN vain, the merits and LOYALTY
OF her father, in order to save her hus-
band.
When the time of separation came, her
conduct appears to be worthy Of the high
est admiration; for without a sigh or
tear, she took her last farewell OF her hus-
band though it might have been expect

Why, indeed, had woman her existence,
but to dignity and ennohlc it by such su-
perior employments When does shr APP
pear TO so much advantage, as when, sur
rounded in her nursery by train Of pratt
tiers, she is holding forth the moral page
for the instruction Of one, and pouring
out the milk Of health to invigora,e The
frame and constitution Of another, Wien
is her snowy bosom half so serene, or
when thrills it with such an innocent and
pleasing rapture, as in the silent moments
OF domestic attention, or those attitudes
OF undissembled love? What painter,
wandering with creative fancy over the
all exhaustless riches Of nature, can give
US so enchanting and delightful picture
in SO elegant frame? What pleasure
OF the levee, the drawing room, or mas
querade, can vie in favor with these more
retired, maternal satisfactions And
when can woman ever be said TO consult
the real dignity and happiness Of her sex,
but when she is thus conscientiously dis
charging her duty TO the man TO whom
she has plighted, at the altar Of God, her
VOWS and affections?
