In Waterford, ON tho morning Of the 18th inst,
Mrs. HANNAH e. wife of MIR Abram II. Ross,
and youngest daughter Of Dea. Jonah Carpenter
in the Goth year her age
Though Mrs. Ross has been called IN the very
morning OF life, away from The object of her tender
est affections on earth, yet there is reason TO be-
iieve that lifo's great end by her was answered
She early dev oed herself to the service of her
ter and in his service she ntnued stcadfast I'M
ill death. Her faith in her savior, her confidence
in his laithfulness and her hope in his mercy
not shaken by the sudden approach OF death, and
tho terrific and painful it was she calm as
summers She complained not--she muir
INJURED not. Owing TO The disease, she was able to
converse but little with her friends, yet from that
little could be gathered her state Of mind and the
feelings TO which she would have given utterance
had she been able. To her Pastor she remarked,
that she never enjoyed herself beuer--lhat Christ
was all and above every thing else To her. Bound
as she was to life by objects of warm Affections
she was willing, that every tie should be severed.
The secret of this willingness was, that she loved
her Sa0i0r better than any every earthly object.
For her to die, she felt better than TO live, be-
cause in dying she would forever cease from sim
ming and become more than conqueror through HIM
who loved her and gave himself To die for her
In all of the relations ofife, which She had sus-
tanned. she was an example Tor emu lation.
AS friend she was ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS a christ
ian exemplary onsstent--As u Sabbath School
reacber-sbe was devoied-faithfuI, aud kind
As sister, lovely confding-As q daughter, du-
tlul, and respectful AS a mother kind-afectlon .
-faithful-As q wife, all that a husband could
desire to make him happy.
May this affective death be sanctiGed to all
to the husband, berefl of that, which more than
any, all other earthly objects rendered life dear
and pieasant-to the moberIess babe-to the aged
Parents-to the brothers and sisters-to all of The
connexions--to The Church-to the class of young
ladies of which she the teacher-and To her
hume Icle of friends, for their spiritual good
May thew all experience in death the sweet CON
solutions of hope--and know that il is true, "Bles-
sed are the dead which die in the Lord" [Comn,.
