could have decreed TO the wide circle OF her rela-
tions and friends. The insidnous and malignant
disease, which for long time made It's silent pro

or those true and delightful affections, which bound
her to her family.-The gentleness and purity Of
her nature tho refinement of her taste, her hab, OF
thought and her sympathies with every thing
good and beautiful in nature and character while
in the pride Of her being they delighted her friends
now, IN the calm sleep Of death become tic sa-
cred pledges of her happiness in higher sphere
of exisence.-Wbi the cold and bitter reality OF
sad separation from so much goodness, purity
and excellence, casts a shadow OF deep gloom over
the family freside, yet the firm assurance OF the
immortal existence Of the ties of love and affection,
sheds upon her bereaved home, a ray of light from
the spirit land, to which she has gene, and from
whence her sympathics. and her affections, now
come TO mIngle with those Of her kindred. That
soul that delighted so much, in the fair scenes OF
nature, that felt so deeply the emotions OF taste.
that breathed such purity from the depths OF the
heart, has passed to new and mere glorious life
lin purer aud brighter world"
