of encouragement to those who survive. The hus
band of Mrs. How died about year since, leaving
her in charge of large family, whom they had
reared nearly to years of manhood-all respected
by large circle of acquaintance. Her devo-
ton to her own family, constant anxiety to please
her friends, and warm solicitude for suffering hu

respect of all who knew her. Charitable to the
faults of others she was slow to condemns liberia!
in her religious sentiments, no sectarlan preJudces
found place in her bosom; and having early adopt

soul while on earth, and has no doubt bid her well
come to the bosom of her God. To her bereaved
and orphan children the writer would say, Be calm

earth be resigned, for it is his will "to chasten
whom he loveth"-imitate the virtues and life of
your deceased mother, and thus secure to your
selves here respect and happiness, and joy unspeak
