DIED.,

Yesterday morning., after q short but severe
illness, Mrs. ELIZA SMITH.-The deceased hav-
ing {" witnessed good profession" towards her
Saviour and her God, found, in the affections
which terminated her earthly existence, much OF
that {" peace" which Christ left as legacy to
his disciples; and she has gone to realize, IN ano-
Their and better world, those precious promises
which have been left on record to support the
humble followers of Jesus on ear,h.-" Blessed
are the dead who die in the Lord.'

formerly resident of this town. The bereave.

able nature Of their loss; aud the cup Of JOY
which passed from the husbands lips. has been
succeeded by one ful of misery. But such is
the evanescent character Of all earthly things!
The vernal blossoms of Spring perish with the
season which gives lhem existence; and the lux
urlan, fruits Of Summer wither 10 the chilling
blasts of Autumn. There is no enjoyment unac-
companied by suffering; aud every pleasure is
followed by pain. The strongest OF all human
ties mus. be severed. and the brightest beams Of
bliss are o'ercast by the darkness and shadows
OF death. How ought not this to admonish US TO
turn our care to those enduring pleasures which
are to be found only that region where the
bonds Of union are knit ndissolubly, and no cloud
ppears to dim the eternal radiance Of the 'per.
