II At Tiverton, on the l4th ult., Mr.. FRANCIS
Il CARR, aged SO years.
H Could we for moment find 1t IN our hearts
| to murmur at the all wise dispensatons of Di-
4 vine Providence, it would be at the present
| time. Snatched ftom the bosom Of his family,
| as il were, in a moment, 1t is indeed hard for
! them to bow 70 the decree Of God, and say
" Thy will be done" Although for some
| time previous to his death, his emacated
| frame, and fast declining health gave every
evidence Of an approaching and speedy dlsso-
| luton, still, with an eager and an anxious
heart did his family and numerous friends pray
| and wish for his recovery, and fondly entertain
! hope that he might be spared to them.
II But alas, how vain and transltory are the
II appointments of man at length the final cal
was given, and he was summoned home TO th'
/ bosom Of his Saviour, to wear everlastingl,
that crown of righteousness which is promised
to the children of God. His daily walks
| through life were marked With righteousness
and goodness, an ornament and an exemplary
member of the Society in which he moved, he
was trul beloved and respected by ALL AS a
| husband he was loving, kind, attentive and
Il faithful; ever and always was he willing to
consult tire happiness of her who had proved a
| faithful partner of all his affections.
\ To her, indeed, it is a sad and terrible
thing, thus to part with one who in life hat
shared her joys and sorrow. Her path through
4 life has, indeed been that Of bereavement ant
| affection. Scarcely does she recover from the
| saddenng effects of Divine Providence, before
she is again called to obey the mandates o
| God but she places her reliance in Christ
Il and bows humbly with submission to this deeI
affliction, and bears with a christian fortitud'
her cross.
Il As father, the deceased was ever indul
| gent, lenient and affectlonate his only anC
ldolized son feels deeply and senslbly his loss
with his afflicted mother he deeply sympath
| yes. MAY the God of the widow and the faith
Il eress be their shield and support, and may
II they put their faith in the Rcdeemer, and look
forward to a happy reunion in Heaven.
