She Sd inst. Mrs EMILY, wife of James
Warren, Esq. of this place, aged twenty
three years.
The decease of Mrs. Warren takes from
our society one of its most exemplary and
esteemed members. Death-that most in
satiable of all enemies--has, within the
last two years, made appalling inroads upon
our little circle. The fair, the lovely, the
most cherished in our small society, have
been cut off in the pride of their prime, and
borne, amid the tears of survivors aud the
waiIing of friends, TO their long home! Nor
virtue, nor accomplishment, nor the most
epdearing ties, could save them from the
rude grasp of the destroyer!
Mrs. Warren had been, for several years,
consistent member of the Church of
Christ. In. her daily walk and conversa-
ton, she "adorned the doctrine of God her
Savior in all things" She was the embo-
clement of all those amiable, graceful and
truly feminine charms which give to woman
her peculiar empire, and to that empire all
its delight and loneliness. The Christian
meekness, the devotion to each tender tie,
End the uniform kindliness Of disposition
which marked her brief career. endeared
her to society, and made her the idol Of her
friends.
