subject Of this notice had the ad.
vantage Of pious training Of the highest
order from her, infancy, and, az might be
expected, embraced a knowledge Of the
divine favor in the remission Of her sins at
a very early period in her life. In the
eighteenth year OF her age she gave her
heart TO God, and her name to the M. E.
Church; and from that time up to the hour
Of her departure, lived a consistent and
Uniform christian.
A short personal acquaintance with her
has satisfied my mind, that few Of her age
exhibit more perfect specimens of genu-
inc christianity. She was emphatically 9
christian and a lady Her pious and
amiabls spirit gained for her the most de-
voted attachment Of all who became &C.
quainted with her. She was most highly
priced by those who knew her best. Here
we have an exhibition Of the blessings Of
a religious culture, a comment on the ex-
hortation to bring children up in the nur-
ture and ~admonition of the Lord. if
What a consolation to her bereaved,
mother 10 know that she has been made q
nurse Tor heayen-that her daughter has
been selected as one of Gods jewels, TO
beautify the courts Of heaven, and to await
her arrival with a glorious welcome. The
disease Of which She died was consump-
ton, and as it by its t~atalinfuence iquench-
ed gradually the fame Of life, her faith
grew more comprehensive, and increased
in vitality until she, who had once faltered
at the thought Of dying. stood firm IN the
Jordan Of death. For som days she
looked forward with joyful expectation for
the closing scene. ''waiting patiently until
her change would come" The moments
of relief frompain and coughing were spent
in conversation with her numerous friends,
exhor,ing them to live in the service Of the
Lord, and meet her on the fair plains Of
glory. The calmness that sat upon her
brow, spake Of the peace that reigned in
her heart. The smile that lit up her oun
tenance as she died declared that the Son
Of Righteousness had illuminated the val
ley Of death.
Thus passed our sister away. leaving a
kind and afectionate husband, and one
little motherless child, a widowed mother,
and a large circle Of friends. She paid
us but a passing visit to this world Of sor-
row. She seemed to die, but it Vas only
waking up in that land where the inhab-
itants never say | am sick. Her funeral
occasion, which was we'll attended. was
improved by a discourse from I. Thes 4
chap. and 18th verse: ..For if we believe
that Jesus died and rose again, SO will
God bring with him those also that sleep
in Jesus" J. ]. McILYAR.

Mr.. Ep1roR:-I do not intend to trans
gress on your time with a long obituary
notice; but the death ofSAMUEL BUCHANAN,
a young man Of Summit township. aged
about 10, who died at the residence OF his
father. Mr.. William Buchanan, ST., on the
morning Of the 10th of September, imper-
atively demands a notice in your paper.
This young man was beginning to de-
velop his attractions in lovliness and
pleasantness Of temper. in industry and
unabated assiduity in business. when that
grim messenger Death, struck him down,
with that weapon dysentery, which he has
used so unsparingly among US. He was
our Sabbaths School Librarian, mo. l.,
Summit Up y and faithfully and attentively
did he perform his duty in that station
This loss will be severely felt in our Sab
bath School for years to come. No differ

post. What a healing balm to the bleed.
