Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1849-11-03

in many cases was her faith sustained. Much
doubtless was owing to the fascination of a
manner, recognized by every one who came
within its influence. 1t was the fitting eN-
preston ofa heart overllowing with love for
every human being.
Her own means, the little presents to her
child, the compensation paid her, were used
TO enable the institution she controlled to 90
on; and they were given away as freely as
the funds specially committed to her for dis
| tribution. She never looked upon any thing
as her own. DIR. Follen has made "a beauti-
full use of the sculpture of ST. Martin sharing
his cloak with a beggar. The emigrant, the
incorporate woman just reformed, both too
poorly clad TO get places, the sick girl
without friends or means, for whom this low
ing stranger has taken the shawl from her
own shoulders, the shoes from her own feet,
could have pointed TO q daily practice of the
same love.
Her life was cheered with. some testimo-
MES of gratitude, and a thousand histories of
touching interest lie buried in her grave
She was u child to the last in her undoubt-
ing faith, in her entire unconsciousness of
her own peculiar traits, and in the joyous
ness of her spirits. But though a child in her
love and her unselfishness, she was profound
ly alive to all the great questions of reform
and social improvement. Taken early from
school, life had been her only education, and
with no leisure for books, she had learned
through her affections; and here, as our wi
sest statesman has said, 'the heart was the
best logician.' She saw the right with the
unerring intuition of a good heart. Neither
sect, class, color or country affected her feel
ings. In education, social reorganization,
anti-slavery, the amclioration of punishments,
the advancement of wonan, she took u deep
and intelligent interest, and felt how slight
was the effect of all her toll on evils
which grew from false principles. She had
good intellectual ability, sound practical
sense, rare judgment, sagacity that few could
deceive, that probed every case, and did,
what she did, intelligently.
Bereaved III so many of her relations, sep
arated from her kindred, constantly in the
presence Of so much sickness and want, she
was yet always young, the sunshine OF any
circle, enjoying life intensely, happy under
all circumstances, full of health, her day per-
petual gladness, as if the pathway had been
as full of heaven as the heart that trod it.
We say of some, and very truly, that theirs
is a Christian life but it is very rare that, as
in this case, the traits of any one are so I'm
alleged as actually to remind us of, to recall,
the traits of the great Master. l never knew
one so unconsciously penetrated with the
thought that she came not to be ministered
unto, but to minister She literally cared
for nothing but like Luther's bird, restedall
her interests OH the Infinite Love, after which
her own life and spirit were so closely copied.
The marked peculiarly of her character
was this entire giving up OF herself to others,
and the beauty of her perfect unconscious
ness OF 1t. We see many unseltish, many
disinterested, many devoted persons. But
neither word, norall combined, at all describe
Mrs. Garnaut. What others do with effort,
or, at most, from a sense of duty, in her
seemed nature. Yet not the heediessgonc-
rosity of childhood or sentiment, but the
harmonious working of nature which existed
only to SerUe Others as naturally as a tree grows.
SO utterly unconscious was she of this active
and unceasing devotedness, that she neither
seemed to think herself different from others,
or to deem they ought to leave the usual way
of the world TO be like her.
See had that rare union, great Tenderness
and great tirmness of character. Though
her heart bled at the sight OF wo, yet she
faced and alleviated sufferings OF the most
; horrid description with a spirit full of cour-
age and hope.
/. She died, worn out, doing all her kind
heart dictated, and all the wretched needed,
but more than one persons strength, or the
r means placed in her hands, We're sufficient
r for. She felt she had herself still to give,
= and died i'll the sacrifice. All this, so teebly
l described, was the work of one young wo-
man, left in a strange land, without means
and without friends. Those who knew her,
- have the joy OF remembering that they did
not entertain this angel unawares. Her death
practically breaks up the society she served,
; The Institution, unspeakably useful, will be
continued, but the motherly love, the tender
ness, the readiness for every toll, the smypa.
thy Tor all wo, the pre-eminent ability, work
: ing wonders with nothing, the heart which
e made the Home so beautiful to visit, as wei
as so variously useful, are gone. What she
created, what nothing but her unique char.
acter sustained, dies with her.
As was said of the good English Bishop
k Surely the life of one like this ought not tc
be forgotten. ], who saw and heard SO mucI
OF 1t, shall, | trust, never r~ecollect it without
being better for it. And if l can succeed il
showing it so truly to the world that they
d also may be the better for for it, | shall dc
them an acceptable service"
