On Saturday evening last, Miss NARY ANN
ELIZA McBaIpE, of the Boston and Provi-

! In recoididg the demise Of his am;able and
vrtuous Young lady, partial friendship, for her
who was an ornamen, To her scx, and an honor
to her profession, may be permitted, to speak
freely and without ailectation. Urged hy ad-
vcntitious circumstances, rather than choice,
she had assumed the arduous, pantd, ana rn-
certain profession Of an actress; an" sensible

to dopor; herself in that manner, which would
enable her to escape that ccnsure, which an
Who are the representatives of the drama
Whether engaged in Eer professional duties, or
in the discharge of the Offices Of private life,
she was always found industrious and detor-
minably persevcrng; and casting aside tho
casual impedments which we're reared to i'm
pede her progress, she went fearlessly on, to
the accomplishment of alt she aimed at.
, In her friendships, she sincere, and un-
dcviating, and they remained inviolate, as long
as the object upon whom they were conferred,
was worthy OF her kindnesses and attention. To
, mind naturally active and discriminating, she
had added, by her industry and toilings tic
permanent ornaments of AN accomplished self
acquired education, and those allurng and fns-
, cnatng coloqual powers, which never fail 10
interest, and charm, the listener and beholGer.
As an actress, though but few years upon tho
stage, she had made rapid -adrances towards
tho goal Of emincnce; and from the rapdty Of
her improvement, sh0 promised TO take, at no
distant day, a high place among the followers
Of the drama, and to make good, the vacancies
which the demise Of the more eminent II, Il
created. Though the flattery and adulatioi,
of the world were hcaped upon her, they dill
not inilume her vanity,o or increase her pride; but
, bearing her accumulated honors with nod
est blush, she looked forward, for that honest
fame, which IL far more preferable, than tho
vain, and empty applause Of the million. She
did not live for herself n lone there were OF b.
ers who looked up TO her for protection and
support; and an aged mother, a sister, and Il
brother, ye, in their infancy, look cd up to her AZ
their supporter and guardian angel. To the,o
dearly beloved relatives, size was ever dutitui
and true; and whilst they are left dsconsolato,
and hoart-broken,t to weep over the un'mely falt
Of the child, and sister, the remembrance Of
=. what she was, only adds fresh anguish to their
lacerated hearts, and tortured bosoms
If there can be any thing on this side Of tho
| Il
gush Of those, who weep for the untmely exit
, Of female excellence and PROSTATE beauty, it
is that consolation, which the promises Of tho
gospel affords us; and whilst the weeping friends
of Miss NJ, BRIDE wander around her turited
: mouni, and pour their lamentations over tho
grave Of slumberng beauty, they should bo
consoled with the certain assurance, that she
rcposes in the arms of her creator, if life Of
VIRTUE can secure 'hc promises of mo
ETERNAL KING OF KINGS.
M case of mortality that has transpired
within the period of our recolle ciiop, has c1..
cited more general sympathy than this. Tho
; dreadful clrcun,st under which the un..
timely victim fell, the apparent triGe which
lod her to an early grave her youth, her beau-
ty, and her modest and unassnming doineanor
added to tho strong interest which hundreds
: fell and expressed for The wclfaro Of favori,e
actress, all combined to excite the sorrow of
ton. or report. Last Monday afternoon sle
was consigned TO the solitude and danps Of
the sepulchrc; and though the day was cxceod-
'ngiy incemeni, numerous assemblagc of the
iah3 bltants oftle town followed hor 10 her eter-
nal resting place, and badc a long aud last
farewell 20 one. who. "hilst yet too young,
