ANXIOUS.
Near Leasburg, on Saturday the 29th July, in
the Add year of her age, Mrs. Eliza, consort Of T.
b. Morgan, in the full tritmphs Of faith. She had
lived an acceptable member of the Presbyterian
church for many years and was a devoted, atten-
tive wife in sickness and in health. For the last
five years she had been sorely afflicted with that
much dreaded disease, Consumption, and through
the whole time she was not heard to complain at
the chastisement of God, rather submitting meek
ly. For a month her life was despaired of and
when informed of this fact, she was enabled to re-
joice at being SO near her Fathers house and that
her light Affections, which were but for a moment,
would work out for her a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory. She continued to evidence
this till the lamp of life ceased to burn. May
her example be a comfort and stifnulant to her be-
reaved companion and numerous relatives and
friends. A TRUE FRIEND.
