Phlhisis PulmoIalis, Mrs JOHANNA DANIEL,
wife of Chesley A. Daniel, in the Dist year of
her age.
Melancholy as is the tribute it is still one of
affection 10 shed tear over the memory Of de-
parted worth; Tor though Times passage may
sooth the wounds that The departure OF loved
one creates, the present calls for some balm 10
heal the narrowing feelings Of afflicted relatives
and friends. In after time, this brief notice may
be looked at with sad yet pleasant eye; and re-
inspections flowers, budding forth in beauty and
brightness, will bloom in The imagination around
The Eden of Heaven, where Hope whispers, the
dera rfaI rh, dove
plumage and azure eye, that dwells amid those
fields, loo often seeks in this dull sphere guile
less spirit, whose aspirations float above those
OF common humanity, and long 10 float in The
incense Of the blessed, towards the harbor OF eer-
nal bliss.
Those that are left here, however, pause not
10 think OF aughl bnl their own loss and seldom
venture 70 calculate on The sain-,he eternal gain
OF those they weep for. Were the mourners OF
the deceased, fer moment, calmly to consider
this, their tears would be tears OF Joy, and their
prayers those OF gratitude. II is true iha, the pre-
sent occasion calls for serious and melancholy
thoughts, but these should be such as to guide us
in the path Of our deceased friend. Like her, We
should endeavor TO cultivate those virtues which
adorn our nature by obtaining, as she did, the
love and affection OF all, b. exercising those
traits OF character WHICH makes man akin To an
gels, and relying on the merits of our beloved
Redeemer, lay up crown for ourselves hereafter.
