Let not the bereaved parents mourn over this

consolation from the thought, that though it was

DIED, at Middlebrook,, on Sunday morning
the 25tll of-MaFc}l, Mrs. MARY j. RANDOLPH,
wife of John Randolph, Esq, in. the 52nd year
OF her age.
The deceased was native of Ireland and re-
moved to this country with her parents in early
life She was largely endowed by nature with
the acute perceptions and ready wit, so charac-
tellgence and uncommon energy of character,
it may with truth be said, that she was no less
distinguished by those qualities and affections
WHICH grace the domestic circle. How well she
performed the offices of wife and mother the
bereaved husband and children best know and
most deeply feel; whilst as a neighbor and friend
she was esteemed and beloved in no ordinary
degree.
DlED-Onsthe morning of the 9th ult, of Or

eldest son OF Mr.. John r. Syrcle of this county,
aged II years, months and % days Thus in
the mofning of life, has been taken. away from
among.na, one much beloved and highly esteem
eddy all who knew him. Just as he was pc
ginning to know something of the careg3,tne diff
tieultles and trials of this life, he was called a
way Ito another, and as we have reason to hope,
to happier and better world. Ills s.laiableness
OF dispositions and exemplary moral seIlaracter
secured the love and respect of all who We're ac-
quainted with him. During the last few days
of his illness lis suffering was great, but his
mind was generally serene and composed no
murmuring, no complaining, no repining, but
peace of mind, tranquility, and perfect resigna-
ton, the browning comfort to relations and
friends, eminently characterized the last the dy-
ing moments of Francis Marion Syrcle
Those, then, who mourn his untimeiy death,
and weep DER his early grave, find consolation
in the purity of his life, and the hope that nav
ing gone from world of sorrow, sickness and
death, he is now i'll the en- ioyment of blissful
immortality
"Weep not for him, it was his lot to feel
