In this sad visitation death has robbed our little So
ciey OF one of its purest and brightest
Mrs. Wadde had resided among us Just long enough
10 be well known, and tendery loved by all who knew
her There IS something so mystcriousy interesting
in the impressions made mind by her DEATH tina
hardly know in what words TO speak of it, The
time has been short since she walked forth among
IN all the strength and activity, and sprghtliness Of
youth, that find il hard realize that she is
more. We desire to bow with mcekncss under this
heavy rod but cannot restrain tears that
young, intelligent, lovely in character, win
ming in department, cmincnly qualified for useful
ness, so elevated in piety, is really taken from
GLOW unsearchable Gods judgments and His ways
past finding ont But we do not sorrow those who
have hope-W mourn loss but are supported
by the confidence that it is her infinite gain. About
five years ago at age when the world is usually
most inviting, when the heart is full of bright antcipa
tons for the future and when worldly fashion shines
forth in ts most winning charms-she made offering
energies TO His service. In this remuneration of the
| world she joined the communion Of the Episcopal
of fredericksburg. While she lived she adorned it
with holy and eminently consistent life. Having
rolled herself among the people of God, she not
idle and passive member So long her bodily health
and strength would allow, she actively employed
in supplying the necessities and in promoting the
good Of others-she over ready to relieve and in
sruct the poor and 'o visit the fatheress and the
dow in their atction." How deeply her loss will be
felt in this sphere of usefulness, be known only
But she needs not the reward of praise. She
has to her reward among her kindred spirits in
the skies We speak not other unmurmurng patience
an long and severe illness, of her composure and
sweet peace in the prospect of death of her resg
nation and confidence in committing the darling infant
of her bosom TO the God whom she had served In all
these She has left the consolng testimony of
humble but unwaverng trust in God her Rcdeemer. On
the evening Of the 18th of January the 25th year
her age, Just as the sinking in the west, she
closed her eyes in secpat rest the bosom Of her
