il as that which il is al present OUT uienahod
duty 10 notice. Every heart appears 10 DC " ma
with Grief by reason OF this unexpected 'nu
mnnrninI event. During the sickness ol me oe-

n;fested for her recovery, cvinced now ereat'y sne
was beloved and when the sad tidinss oi ne'

,his he the impression which her departure from
The nresen, life has made upon the community,
how much more deep and poignant must DC ihal
made upon those to whom she was connected III
the more endearing relations OF wife and m0!her,
daughter and sister Alas! il is heart-rendinS f!
The manly grief of a devoted husband, The oiaer
anguish of a tender mo,her, the piercing sorrow OF
. find sister. NOT to speak OF The sufierings OF other
endear red relatives, show how firm a hold she had
aiken on their affections. II could no! be other
wise. Her peculiar gentlcncss and amIabliiiy,
while they made her the admiration OF all who
knew her, eDshrined her in the hearts OF .hase TO
whom she was bound by nearer ties. She pos
sessed, and constantly kept bright, The ornament
which graces and adorns her Sex-that ul a meek
and quiet spirit. During a long and intimate &c
quaintance, the writer of this brief tribute 10 her
memory, never saw her out of temper. She was
uniformly mild, and al the SAME time kind and
oblising in her disposition-ever ready to speakol
the virtues, but never OF The faults or tallInss oil
others. .
Though she was surrounded by whatever could
render life desirable-living in the affections oil
a kind husband, and OF numerous and fond rela-
tives-in the responsible charge OF four interest
ing children, who are OF an age most to need a
mothers fostering are-yet, when she felt that
her sickness would be unto death, she was en-
abled, by the grace OF God, meeklyi to bow in re,
sienalion to His will. She felt The value, and
desired 10 be in the foil possession Of that peace
which The world cannot give. And in this frame
Of mind she was prepared 10 say, in full view Of
her dissolution,
"Jcsus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are"
And when her sufferings were so acute that
Death could be hailed only as the messenger OF
mercy, she calmly breathed the prayer which
went up to Heaven from the lips OF the first
Christian martyr in his expiring agonies-"Lord
Jesus, receive my spirit"
After giving directions in regard to her dear
little ones-desiring them 10 be trained up IN The
nurture and admonition Of the Lord-and when
all seemed to be peace within, a cloud gradually
came over her reason, and remained upon il, al
alternate intervals, until her meek spirit was re-
leased from its suffering enement J. E.
