"Died,-ln this city, of consumption, on the
10Th ult,, Sarah W., eldest daughter of Timo-
thy Whiting, Esq, deceased, late of Lancaster,
(Mass) Among those who were acquainted
with Miss Whiting, the bare mention of her
name will recall to mind every virtue which
adorns while it elevates the female character
She belonged no: to that class who study only
the butterfly fashions of the times, nor to that
school of moralists who feast upon the misgiv.
ings of creation. Possessing a strong mind

knowledge as made her society interesting, and
her opinions, as well as instructions, useful In
all the relations of life she acted well her part
and by her kind attentions TO her friends, her
solicitude for their welfare, she imprinted the
recollec ton of her amiable qualities upon their
minds, in indelible characters. A consolation
remains to the surviving relatives and acquain-
tances of Miss Whiting, which few who have
been bereaved, possess to so gratifying an ex-
tent. This consolation IS found in the calm.
ness, fortitude, and resignation, with which she
bid farewell to the things of time and sense
Fully sensible that her exit was fast approach
! ing she cheerfully awaited the hour, gave her
! friends parting salutation in full confidence o.
again meeting them in better world, and ex
pred without struggle.
"There is calm for those who weep,
A rest for weary pilgrims
They softly lie, and sweetly sleep
! For the cap of our mother earth is soft, and tn,
bosom of our God is full Of compassion, forgive
ness and love-"
