on the 18th inst, at O'Clock, A. NJ, Of chronic
Diarrhoa, Mrs. ELIZABETH NJ. J. HuLME, consort
of George ]. Hume For three months she
suffered under this disease, with that true
christian iortitude which had mark ed her pre-
vious liie-a disease which ballled the kill Of
the best prescription and medical attention
that a kind and devoted husband could give
her;-he Summons had been issued, and she
submitted without sigh or groan. The young
and amiable wife and mother felt that the ties
which held her here were about to be severed,
and she rejoieed in the prospect of soan being
released from all her tolls. She cOnversod
freely with husband and relatives who were in
attendance, assuring them she was happy in
death-it had no terrors to her. Her last mo-
ments were spent thus, and indeed she expired
while in con, ton, and the heavenly smile
that had, fer the last 70 hours, lighted up her
features SO radlantl,, still continued alter
death had taken possession Of her mortal re-
mains. The writer visited her the evening
previous. She had Just recovered from faint
ing spell and was rejoicing; seemed at hfst TO
be surprised that she was still in this world.
She expressed great love for all, and wished
them TO meet her in heaven she was so hap
py-had no Pain.' Leaving her late in the
night, when returned next morning she had
Just expired, and that same heavenly smile
sill existed, and she looaed as though she only
slept.
So fades the lovely blooming flower,
frail, smiling solace Of an hour;
% soon our transient comforts hv,
And pleasures only bloom to dien
Sac prolessed religion some time since and
Intended joining the church this summer She
was very pious-one IN whom there was NO
guile. She lett an infant son, three months
cld--a kind husband sisteI-tlIree brothers,
aud numerous other relatives and friends (for
she had no enemles,) to mourn her early death.
She WIS in her ed year.
May God bl, IS this sad bereavement 10 the
good of her husband and relatives and lrends,
aud enable them to prepare to meet her IN
leaven-as she earnestly requested.
There is calm for those who weep,
rest Tor weary pilgrims found;
They softly lie. and sweetly sleep,
Low in the ground.
The storm that wrecks the winter sky
No more disurbs their deep repose,
T!.an summers evening latest sigh
That shuts the rose.
Thou traveller in the vale o! tears;
10 realms Of everlasting light,
Through times dark wilderness Of years
Pursue Thy fight.
Whate'tr thy lot, where'es thou be,
Confess thy folly--kss the rod;
And IN thy Christening sorrows see
The hand Of God.
Tho long Of winds and waves the sport.
Condemned in wretchedness to roam,
Thou soon shalt reach sheltring port,
qnlu home.
Thy soul renewed by grace divine,
10 Gods own mage freed from cIay.
In heavens eternal sphere shall, shine,
star Of day.
II long t, lay this painful head
Aud aching hear beneath the soil;
To slumber IN that drcamless bed
From all my tolls"
