ory amable in her manners, mild her disposition We
y interesting in her conversation, and esteemed by all
her acquaintance. She had been for years an ex-
emplary and pious Chrstain, though not member of
any Church Religion was the theme Of her discourse
both in health and in sickness. The goodness of God
and the mperfectons of man, but particularly her
own inperfectons constituted much of her social
ersaon. For the last six or eight months she spoke
oten and much of DEATH This she did with great calm
ness. though death not terror her and often
ask ed the Q1estion'Why should wish to remain in
this vain and troublesome Word? FROM the time of her
frst taking her room she constantly affirmed that she
should recover, arranged her earthly concerns
Soon practicable, and daily empioyed in prepar-
ing mind for the solemn and important hour of death
She prayed much for resignation the will of Cod and
for happiness in DEATH and earnestly requested her
friends 10 Join their petitions with he's for these bless
ings-She, in the beginning other Affections seemed dis
Iressed in mind, because she had not complied with
duty toward her Maker evidently referring though not
directly, to the outward ordinances of the Church
quested that others should be informed of the operations
of her mind at this important crisis be warned from
her example not to neglect their duty she had done
Bt before the termination of her earthly existence
relieved of this distress and seemed resigned to the
will of God Before she departed this e she spoke of
the way in which she wished her friends to act around
her while in death and after DEATH and of some particu
lars concerning her person after DEATH During the two
last days ef her earthly existence she only seemed
resigned to death but patiently waited its approach
knowing that when this earthly house of her tabernacle
should be dissolved, she had building of God made
with hands, eternal in the heavens. During this time
