perhaps better for the child even that
he should suffer some injustice at the
hands of his teacher, than that he should
be supported by his father in an attempt
TO resist the salutary discipline of edu-

OBITUARY.
Communicated FIR tie HIlmingtoaiaa'.


DIED, at Dover Delaware, on Friday, the
18th inst, after a severe illness of more than
two weeks, Mrs. SALLY ANN CLAYTON,
wife Of Ionx NJ. CLAYTON, Esquire--ln the Goth
year Of her age.
Seldom has society suffered loss more severe
ly affecting, than that occasioned by the death
of this most excellent woman. Blessed with the
most perfect goodness of heart, with temper
the most gentle, amable and lovely--in word,
endowed by nature with all the virtues that adorn
her sex, she lived, by all beloved; and died, by
all lancnted. Rarely indeed, have nature and
art united their happy influence in the formation
of so perfect character; for perfect she was,
so far as perfection can fall to the lot of humani-
ty. Her death is the more affecting, as it was
sudden and premature. In the morning of life,
in the bloom of uniaded lovclness, in the full
tide of coniugal felicity, she died-a sad example
of the fraity of all sublunary bliss.
To her husband, Mrs. Clayton was crown of
honor: her attachment and devotion to him were
perhaps unexampled, during the short period of
their marriage. 1t seemed the only aim and OBJ
iect Of her life, TO administer to the happiness
of her husband, by the performance of every act
and every duty, which her reason could dictate,
or her loving Kindness suggest. She loved him
to tho extreme, and his love for her can be mea-
sured alone by his overwhelming grief and agony
for her loss
1t is a consolation to her relatives and friends
to reflect, that until the very moment of her dis
solution, she retained unimparcd all the faculties
of her mind, with the most perfect serenity and
mldness of temper She sunk into the arms OF
death, without a mlirmur or sigh, whilst hea-
venly smiles bcamed upon her face. Her transit
to the celestial worlds, was truly enNiable. TO
her, Death came disanncd of his tcrrors and his
sting, on an "errand full of love-" TO watt hei
spotless spirit to the bosom of its God

whom they are conferred has passed the
rugged and rough hathS Of trial; that his

part so duly proportioned, that the scrutinlz-

The character of Mr.. Brinckle being thus

Joined in their sincere regret by all who
knew him, in whose hearts he has left a void
which the lapse of time, the peiplexitics and
business of life can only fill up. But while
we thus deplore his loss it is pleasing and
consoling reflection that his pure spirit has
fed to more congenal climes, to battle in
hallowed JOY with kindred souls.
