JANE kIaMEL, wife of Mr.. Samuel Kim

years and months.
mi mortuum nisi bonum" was an
adage among the ancients, thought was
very frequently departed from, in ancients,
as it is in modern times, for it too often
happens that .:the evil that" persons ''do
live after them, whilst the good is oft in
TERED with their bones" Let the adage
of the day be what it may, "truth is
powerful and viii prevail" the faults of
individuals will be spoken of whether they
be living or dead and is still virtue enough
left in the community, to praise their
goodness. The deceased can neither be
benefited by our praises, nor injured by
our censures, but when an individual,
who. like the much lamented Mrs. Jane
| -kimmel, has lived for years in our midst
and been exemplary for every virtue cal
cula:ed TO adorn woman, is snatched a.
way by the hand of death, its. bpt trib-
ute of respect which we owe to her mem
ory, TO make allusion to those many good
qualities which could be known only to
her more immediate relatives and friends
There are but few individuals OF whom
evil things are not sometimes said, but
the writer can say that he has never
known even the breath OF slander TO
breathe aught that was not in her praise.
Thoagt, filling an elevated station in life,
she was kind and complaisant to the poor
est and most humble, being superior to
that petty pride, common to low and gro
Yelling minds; she was kind and aifec-
tlonatc wife and tender mother; as the
head Of 4 large family she was ever atten-
tive 10 lis interests. being industrious and
economical; in all her intercourse with
her fellow creatures, she manifested the
character of lady. and last and best OF
ali she was christian, having been for
several years an exemplary and consist
ent member of the Presbyterian church;
by he: death female society has lost one
of It's brightest members; but who can
calculate the loss of her husband and to
those eight dear children whom she has
left behind! No one; il is incalculable;
vet, as she died in Christ, their loss is
her eternal gain. FERIrAs.
On Thursday evening last, Mrs. ANNE
PARsoN, consort of Mr.. James Parson, of
Somerset township, in the 35th year of

Life tho sweet, yet how uncertain,
Held but by feeting breath;
A tender thread suspends the curtain,
And conceals approaching death.
