We live needless tina. we too must die.
And others pass our graves unheeded by.
Departed this life in Marshall county. Mis-
sissippi. June 23d. l64s, after few days illness
Mrs JANE NJ GREER. wife Of Col. James A.
Grier and daughter of the late Nathan Moore,
Of York District S. C. She has left numer.
GUS circle Of relations in this county, South Car.
DINA and Mississippi to lament her loss.
She was noted for those refined graees which
ornament socety-those virtues which adorn the
christian character-that kindness which dis.
tinguishes true friend and neighbor and that
affection which marks beloved companion,
Are blossoms gathered for the tomb,
There's nothing true but Heaven"

Her memory will long be cherished in the
hearts Of those she has left behind and longes, by

Died. al her residence, near Morganton on
June 23d, Mrs LAURA T. TATE, daughter Of
the late Joseph Wilson. Esq.
Seldom indeed have her relatives and friends
received so grievous blow, as the death OF this
estinable lady true, long months Of acute sui.
ferIng while they unclothsd her soul of it's earth.
ly habiliments, blunted the edge Of the destroy.
ing sword to them, so that they who knew her
calm patience, her sweet resignation and her hea-
venly pety could scarcely regret her departure to
a more fit abode. But the wounds are too deep
and too recent 10 permit us TO write out the long
catalogue Of her virtues they have lent her wings
10 soar on high 10 her destined reward while they
heal the sorrows of those who mourn and point
out the road for them to follow. Twice a wife
and many times mother, in all the circum,tan.
ces Of life she won the most sincere regard of
those around her and under the mdest exterior
concealed talents suited TO the most exalted pc.
sition.
Mrs. Tate was not so generally known as her
qualities entitled her to be. but the gentle virtues
seek mostly the shade of privacy and flourish in
the retirement Of domestic life ewel has been
taken from us. whose radiance no cloud could
obscure and whose place nought of earth can
now supply.
To her afflicted relatives the best consolat
IS that offered by the wholelcourss Of her life and
though they must grieve that she was not per-
mitted longer to add solace and charm to her
Family Circle and to bring up her children in
the way they should 60, we will ever pray that
our lives may be as pure and our end as brilliant
and hopeful as hers, and that all who loved hor
here, children, relatives and friends. may follow
her that they may attain 10 where, we fondly hope
she rests III tho realms of bliss
