Obituary.

DIED, on Friday evening, July Sd, Mrs. MARY,
wife of JoHN CARLISLE, aged >.
The suddenness of this dispensation causes add-
tlonal pangs TO the large circle of relatives and
friends called into mourning for one 50 highly es-
teemed and universally beloved Parent, husband,
brothers, sisters and children have sustained an ire
parable loss and relatives and friends sincerely
mourn the departed with holy affection. Mrs.
c. was emphaticaly one Of the shining lights of the
community. Pious, she was sincerely devoted to
adOrn the profession of religion. Kindness was
shown in every act of her life. Generous, the
needy never applied to her in vain. Her houscwas
pattern of domestic bliss: and o! how her loss
will be felt by that dear circle who acknowledged
her as its head Engaged in laudabe efforts to
administer to the wants of the necessitous, society
of ladies were accustomed to meet and unite their
benevolent efforts, and for mutual improvement.
Mrs. C. had been chosen their head by unanmity
which testified their love and appreciation of her
vrtuous and social character. That seat SO wor-
thily filed is empty. To those regions of bliss
to which she anxious to lead the wandering
sinner, she has gone And may those she has left
pattern after her example Cut off in the bloom of
lfe with but short notice from the King of Terrors,
she met death as the Christian, depending TN the
merits of the Saviour of the world only meet it.
The church has lost one of It's brilliant ornaments;
and when we reflect that the Saturday after de-
voting her babe to God in baptism the previous
Sunday, her hfeless remains occupied the same holy
ground, o, what lesson on the frailty of human
life How soon may he called into eternity /.
Let us then live that we may be like her, prepared
to meet the grim monster and TO pass from death
into life everlasting.
DIED, on Sunday evening, July 9th, Mrs. SARAH
ANN, wife Of JACOB s. WALKER, aged 30 years and
months.
1t is with ordinary feelings that we make this
melancholy announcement; and while as almost
stranger, we feel called upon to bear testimony TO
the worth of the amiabe, virtuous, and .pious de-
ceased how poignant must be the feelings of those to
whom she was both near and dear! Mrs. w.
born near Hummelstown, Dauphin county, Pennsyl-
vania, and immgrated to this State in 1896. She
was the daughter of Henry and Leah lands. She
has resided in this city since her immigration, and
has endeared herself all who had the pleasure of
forming her acquaintance. Early imbued with pous
feelings she maintained her walk in the Church of
Christ with devotednesS and humility;-a pattern of
piety. Hers was no morbid religion-but one which
shone forth in every act of her lie and left her not
while reason maintained its sway. Her long, inger-
ing, and painful Affections she bore with remarkable
fortitude As wife and mother, she was model
Devoedly attached to her husband and Children her
only longing that they should so live here as TO
meet her hereafter in the mansions of bliss. Thus died
one the loss of whom has left void in hearts that
not be filed, and she'd deep gloom over large circle
May her death have sanctifying influence ON them
all; and may He who tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb, and in whose hands His own wise judg-
ments, cause them 10 feel their dependence on Him,
that they too may be blessed and have their wounds
healed In the language Of the Prophet, may they
exclaim-" Behold, He taketh away, who cab hinder
him! Who will say unto Him, What doest Thou +"
