1t tmay be said of the deceased, not ia the Ian.
guage OF vain eulogy, but in the sincerity of truth
that TO a strong and cultivated mind she united
those ennobIing graces of the heart, Charity and
Benevolence. Never from her door did the child
OF want or the poor and friendiess depart without
relief; nor did she accompany the gift by scruri

'.Careless their merits or their faults t. scan,
Her pity gave ere Charity began"
She was not a member of any church or order
but have been informed that for the last few
months she had been much concerned about the
welfare of her never dying and immortal soul
and believe, whenthe Angel Of Death came with
his cold and iron grasp, to summon her Spiri
from this 10 happier and brighter world, uha
she was prepared TO meet her God in peace and
could exclaiIn, as believe IN the Holy enthusiasm
oil dying christian:
"This world recedes! il disappears!
Heaven opens on my eyes my ears
+ With sonuds seraphrc ring:
Lend, lend your wings! / mount! fly
Oh Grave! where is thy victory
Oh death! where is thy sting go
