wish of the writer to eulogi<e Mrs. Tyler in a newspa-
per, Us strangers seldom pay any respect to such notices
of the dead. when they come from a distance. Among
her neishbors ard ucquaiurances only, is her loss known.
1t is sufficient - say, she was a kind mistress, a good
~neisht'nr, ind an excellent wife. She has left u kind
husband, and friends and n~eighbors. to lament her loss;
bat she has left this behind far their satisfaction: she
died fully in the belief of the Christian Religion; saving
she had often prayed that her Saviour would be with
her in death, and she was confident that he had heard

we're attack Of only about twcnty-four hours ut the resi-
dencc other husband. Mrs. MARY l.. CALLAwAY. Con-
sort of Capt. james N. Cnllaway of Brookneal, Camp
bell county. Va, aged about 50 years, leaving an alice
tionate husband, eight interesting children, and n large
circle OF relations and friends to mourn her sudden de-
parture fr"m time to eternity. bnt strengthened and sus-
tained by the hope that 'their loss is her unspeaknble
gain" In announcing the sudden demise of this inter-
esring and centrally beloved lady. we deem it unneces-
sary TO speak Of the high and noble traits Of character
which lad marked her earthly career to such an extent,
that none knew her but to love her. and those who knew
her best loved her most. About eighteen months since,
the deceased professed to have obtained a hope through
the merits of,he blood Of Christ. but she had never con-
ncrtcd herself with any branch Of the visible church.
She however exhibited strong evidences Of devotion to
religion, and her walk and conversation bore testimony
tn the fact, that she had a hope in Christ. which was
bright and peaceful, and which cheered and sustained
her along the journey oflifc. But she is no more. The
arrow of deaths insatiate archer has stricken down in
the midst of n large family one of its dearest idols. The
husband staggers under the severity of the blow and Oh.
who can tell the anguish that now wrings the hearts of
the d. ar little children, when the solemn fact falls upon
their ears. that their mother is no more. and that that
heart which was so warm in unison with theirs, is now
cold in death, and the neighborhood and community all
are left to weep over their favorite, their companion and
friend. Our last tribute of respect is now done. No
lengthcned obituary from US, Il friend, can heal the
wounds which death inAicts, bur we would take the hus-
band and children, and we would AK that God who
''tempers the wind to the shorn lambs" TO sustain. to
comfort. and cherish them. and influence all to follow he,
"For scenes ~seruphic. high and glorious,
Now forbid her longer stay;
See her rise DER death victorious,
Angels beckon her away" NJ.
