did," in that charity which sympathises with
all that weep with such as weep, and rejoice
with those who rejoice. In her lifetime she
was an example of industry and christian char
ity to her sex. She is gone down to the grave
like shock of corn fully ripe, and left husband
and seven children, besides large concourse
of connexions and friends to mourn her loss,
but they mourn not as those without hope, be-
lieviDg that their loss is her gam. She had
been i'll for several months, and for some weeks
had fell sure that the golden bowl was soon to
be broken, but she expressed a willingness,
nay strong desire to depart and be with
Christ. She bore her sickness with great for
titude, not murmur escaped her lips. Those
who were with her at the last, were constrain-
ed to say, "may die the death of the right

MRs. SIpDoNs AND THE PoT-BoY AT LEEDS.
The evening was excessively hot, ana MRS.
Sddons was tempted by torturing thirst to
consent to avail herself of the only obtainable
relief proposed to her at the moment. Her
dresser, therefore, despatched a boy in great
haste to "fetch pint of beer for Mrs. Sid
dons," at the same time charging him to be
quick, as Mrs, Siddons was in hurry for it..
Meanwhile the play proceeded, and on the
boys return with the frothed pitcher, he look
ed about for the person who had sent him on
his errand, and not seeing her, inquired
Where is Mrs. Siddons!" The scene shift
er whom he questioned, pointing his finger to
the stage where she was performing the sleep
ing scene of Lady Macbeth, replied, "There
she is" To the surprise and horror Of all the
performers, the boy promptly walked on the
stage close up to Mrs. Siddons, and with to-
tai Inconsistencies of the improperly he was
Committing, presented the porter! Her dis
tress may be imagined; she waved the boy
away in her grand manner several times with
out effect; at last the people behind the scenes,
by dint of beckoning, stamping, and calling in
half-audible whispers, succeeded in getting him
offwith the beer, part of which in his exit he
spilled on the stage; while the audience were
in an uproar of laughter, which the dignity OF
the actress wasunable to quell for several min
u.es.-- Mathews Memoirs. faa
