Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, Mr..
CHARLES TAYLOR native Of this town. The

In Leesburs, on the 2ist inst. MARY BowLEs,
daughter of WILSON Cary SELDEN, Jr., in the
9th year of her age.
The disease which consigned this lovely child
to the grave, was painful and violent. Yet thro'
it's whole progress, the accomplishing submission
of the little sufferer, could not fail to touch the
hearts of all behoders. Who can pourtray the
affection which pierced the breasts of those re-
Iatlves who beheld youth, loveIiness and beauty,
torn forever from their arms? Who can paint
the feelings Of those who watched the progress Of
so much innocence and sweetness. from the
home which they had endeared and blessed, to
the cold shadows Of an untimeiy graves But
the change which we deplore is her eternal gain;
and the loneliness which the sorrows Of this world
might have sullied, has been removed to a kind
lier sky, to bloom forever amid the flowers Of
Heaven.
