In this town, on the 18th inst LOUISA
ANN, wife Of Benjamin Webster, Jr., and
daughter of John and Abby Osborn, aged
Ia years.
The deceased embraced religion when
about IA years Of age, and experienced in
her Hast illness its peculiar consultations.
While sinking under the influence of dis
ease. The world, disrohed to her mind of its
destinations, appeared 10 its real vanity,
and she desired not to live lest its tempta>
tons and cares should prove snare and
lead her from that Saviour on whose arms
of love she leaned and found support. About
week previous to her death, 20 a minister
visiting her, she expressed calm aSsarance
that all was we'll, and that when the earthly
tabernacle should be dissolved, she had a
building of God, house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens" On the
day Immediately preceding her departure,
when disease had made such progress that
she could onIy reply in monosyllables to
questions proposed, the same minister,
benCing over her wasting form, already
bearing its death<mnrh. enquITro wl.v'n>.
Jesus still sustained her she sweeily whis-
pefed ',yes," and in the same happy frame
of mind continued until she calmly fell
asleep. Oh, how mistaken are the thoughts
less multitude in regard TO what constitutes
true enjoyment! An hours serious reAec-
tfon ought to convince them that the enjoy>
ment of the favor of God is calculated to
make life serene and happy.-and snrely
such reflection would prompt them to desire
to die the death of the righteous. II.
