by this bereavement many hearts are
filled with mourning and sadness. Her
surviving companion has lost the partner of
his youth, with whom he had participated
In the sunshines andencountered the storms
OF this changing life, for thirty-six years.
A numerous family is bereft,of an affection
ale, tender mother, whose kindness allayed
the sorrows and heightened the joys of in
fancy and childhood, and gave sweetness to
her counsels In maturer years. In the hap
py circle of her social acquaintance. the
place OF one greatly esteemed is made va
cant. The church of God is deprived of
faithful, worthy member. But we trus;
their loss Is her gain. Mrs. FarweH the
youngest of seven daughters of Stephen
and Mary Albee, was born in Milford Mass,
Sept. IL, 1882. When at the age of thir
1
teen years, her parents removed to Chester
field, N. H., where she was married in
March 1903, and thence settled in Acton.
Vt. Having given good evidence of an
evangelical religious experience, she was
baptized IN Sept. 1929 and united with the
Baptist church in Windham, then under
the pastoral care Of Elder Samuel Kingsbu-
ry; and with this church she continued her
connection until her death. Christ was the
source OF her present happiness, and the on
ly ground of her future hope. The many
| excellencies of her christian character rem
'dered her beloved by the church. and "very
DEAR to the under shepherd of her Master.
She was "living christian" Religion
was her faVorite theme, and she delighted
to have it introduced at all times as the
subject of conversation.
Her constitution had been weakened bv
disease and her health for long time fee
Die. Her last sickness was of not long con-
t1nuance, but full of suferings, which seem
ed to become more and more intense. as she
drew near to her dissolution. When she
began TO feel that she was dying, she calm
iy marked the symptoms that the powers of
lie were yielding to the cold embrace OF
death, and said, "this, this is the effect of
SIN" Though afterward deprived of the
power Of speech, she gave manifest evidence
Of consciousness to the very last. Just be-
fore she expired, her suffering seemed to
cease. And with all the placid quietness of
child in the arms of its mother, and with
out groan or struggle, she fell asleep in
Jesus. Verify the righteous hath hope in
has DEATH" TComm.
LATER FROM TIaE WEST IN DIES.
The condition of things in the West
Indies is spoken of in the different papers
published there, as appears by the va rious
extracts fIom them in the New York
Journals as truly deplorable; but the lei |
ter from Barbados, from Mr.. HAYES to
Mr. Ludlow, furnished IN our last num.
beF' Is so strong refu,ation of these
statements that it can not fail in HAVING
an influence in setting public opinion
right on this matter. A letter from ia

shows The reason, likewise, why Cover
nor Smith is SO unpopular with some and
the prices at which labor is performed On
the plantations. Many of the laborers
are members of the Baptist churches. ana
no doubt Baptist ministers have given
them counsel as to the fair prices thew
were entitled to for their services anJ
this had made the ministers so odops il
the eyes OF the proprietors, or their At.
torneys. 1t does not appear, however
that the prices stated by Brother Clarke
are Oy any means unreasonable, but quite
low.-N. 7. B@p. Register.
