Departed this life, at Union HILL Nelson county. the
residence OF her husband, the morning of the 7t inst
IN the 59th year OF her age, Mrs. MARY CoRNELrA b
CABELL-wIfe of Mayo CabcIi, Esq. and eldest dauqb
ter of the late Judge William Daniel
In making the effort to pay tribute the memory of
one so dear, the writer that too much cannot bc
said, IN praise OF the iaithfincss with hicb she dis
charged her duty to God and man. As wife and
mother she was tender and atcconatc-as sister fond
and devoted-as FRIEND warm hearted and sincere
and as a mistress, kind and ndugent.
But as Christian what shall we say of herr That
She "adoned the doctrine Of God her Saviour in ali
things That in her life exhibited all the qraces
OF the Christian that by walk
and holy conversation she showed that she was in
deed disciple of the "mcek and lowy Jesus In
she esteemed it her privilege administer to the tenn
poral and spiritual wants OF her suffering fellow mortas
and well may be said that when the EAR heard her
then it blessed her, The grace of humility shown in
her character-and her life was beautiful excmpfca
ton OF that charity (which vauntch ITSELF which
not pulled up In her long and painful illness not a
murmur was heard to escape her lips She knew that
she in the hands Of Him who does not willingly a
lict his people, and her prayer was mo; nv will Oh
Father, but thine be donc.'
Had her friends been deprived of her diving testimony
to the 'ruh ii is Jesus, her righteous and Cody
life would have been sufficient foundation Cor the belief
that she "now rests from her laborsbut of this tcst
mony they were not dcpriycd-for in almost her very
last moments she gave expression the comforting and
sustaining assurance that He who had brought her safely
thus far, would leave orsake herr in the last
honr-and that to her. death would be swallowed
uPin victory True as she in the discharge of all
the duties OF life who knew her fail 10 weep
her loss But TO her deeply afflicted family and friends
we would say, escrow not those who have no hope'
for true to herself end to her God have the garan
tee OF the Holy Scriptures, for the confident belief that
she now reposes free from the and Of life
in the bosom of her Redccn.er.
Departed this life the 9th inst, at his residence
near Mt Sidney, in Augusta county, Va, after pain
fni and protractcd illness, Mr.. DAVID TovER Sen in
the 65th year Of his age.
The deceased has for 30 years been consistent and
an exemplary member Of the Lutheran Church.; he was
sufferer Tor more than 20 years with the rheumatism
but bore this Christening and affective dspcnsation with
mcckncss and resignation believing that he who knows
better than do what is for good, aIlicts
those who conidc in him, but in mercy and wisdom.
From bis rctreng habits and secluded life, Mr. SrovEs
was not very extensively known in the county but his
ncghbors friends, family, and all indeed who did know
him highly esteemed him, and will believe that in his
death their loss is his eternal gain. And Oh what
lesson taught to the proud apirant after worldly hon
and worldly gain in the death Of this obscure but
good mantle seeking through brief and fevcrish
existence after that WHICH like himself will perish
the other dsrcgardcd by what calls the world and
regardless Of the world looks his homey musings far
beyond the limits Of time and sense, the bright
reward of him who, through much tribuoton seeks his
ashes. T. NJ
