DIED.,

In this city, on the evening of the Goth
ult., at the late residence of her father,
Miss EMILY A. GREENE. daughter Of
Joseph A. Greene, deceased, after an i'll
ness Of 3 weeks. Aged 2O years 2 months
and day.
Again has the dark pail OF death been
cast over this sorely afflicted and bereav-
ed family; and although, with crushed
hopes. and stricken hearts, wo record tho
death Of this estimabie lady, we have the
consolatory assurance, that to her. to die
was gain. Though young, she had for
several years submitted herself to the gui
dance OF the sublime teachings Of her bles-
seG Saviour. About two years ago, she
united herself with tho English Lutheran
Church Of this city, of which she lived an
active and devoted member; was ardently
attached to the doctrines Of the Bible, and
the ordinances Of the house of God, and as
a legitimate consequence, Of her faithful
ness, was, during her illness fully sustained
by Grace, enabled to rejoice amidst her
affliction, and breath her last, leaning on
the bosom Of her Saviour.
A week before her death, an affection
ate and beloved father was called TO the
spirit world, and his body deposited by the
side of her beloved twin sister, whom four
weeks before, she in company with her de-
parted father, followed to the silent tomb,
and where her body with theirs now rests,
until the last trumpet shall wake the sleep
ing dead. She has left 10 mourn herloss, two
brothers and two sisters, and large cirlco
of relatives and friends, who mourn not as
those who have no hope.
Thus, in the short space Of Eve weeks,
this family has been deprived, by the ruth
less hand of death, of three of its promi-
ncnt members,a father and two daughters,
who have gone TO Join the society of wife
and mother, who some six years ago was
called to that better Inheritance; and whose
place has since been filled by the now Sc
verely stricken and bereaved widow and
mother. Grace alone sustains and sup
ports Mrs. Greene in her sore bereavement,
in whose character, one Of the prominent
features is, a most ardent affection for and
attachment to her husband and children.
This was so strong, that in her last trial,
''the death Of Emily" she was with diff.
Gully sustained under her sore bereave-
ment. But she need not mourn over any
neglect towards her departed friends, en-
joying as she does, the happy assurance,
that not only in life, but in death, she real
ICED from them, to the fullest extent, their
warmest affections and regard as devoted
wife and indulgent mother.
By this instance Of mortality, we are a.
gain reminded of the universal dominion Ol
death, and of the necessity of that prepar'
alton which alone can secure to US that
satisfaction and peace of mind which was
so fully exemplfed in the case Of Emily,
and which alone assures us of eternal hap
piness in the world to come. @.
On the night Of Oct. 8, at her residence
in Lancaster, NANCY. wife of Isaac Clay
pool and daughter Of Mr.. John Meason, O.
this county.
More than three years ago, the symp
toms Of the fell destroyer, consumption
manifested their ravages and gradually fec
on her vitals until life was extinct. To say
she was loving wife and mother, a kinC
neighbor, whose character was all ania
bility is not the language Of praise--sh'
was much more---the humble and dsvou
christian, faithfully discharging all her du
} ties'toward' God and her fellow beings
For her, indeed to die, was gain. Her
was tho life ofthe righteous and her rewart
is in heaven.
