OBITU AIRY.

Died, after an Illness of only three days, at the
residence Of her father, on Friday the oath of Au
gust, in the 18th year of her age, MARTHA c.,
eldest daughter Of BENJAMIN SIMMONS, Esq.
While her fond and devoted parents and friends
shed their tears the early grave Of one, who
by her affectionate and amiable disposition, and
kind, gentle and winning manners gained the love
and esteem of all her associates, they may find
consolation in the hope that she has been taken
from this vale of tears,
.Where the few lurid mornings that dawn on us
Are enough for LIES woes, full enough Tor Its
cheer"
to that bissful abode,
sWhere the rivers of pleasure flow DER the bright
plains
And the noontide of glory eternally reigns.''
Died, on the 25th instant. PHILIP HENRY,
son of FRANCIS R. and JANE SPEAKE,-aged 3
years, month and 27 days.
This dear little child was called so suddenly to
his heavenly home, that his parents were entirely
unprepared to meet so severe a blow. The ten
der plant around which had clustered the hopes
and pride of their life, could not escape the terri
Bile summons of the messenger of death. Their
heartrending cries, their desolate means. Or their
fervent prayers could not call back to earth his
pure little spirit, when once released from Its
earthly tenament. His heavenly Father was wis
err than his earthly parents, for He saw that ne
was bud too rare for earth. Perhaps He feared
if He spared HIM to the age of manhood that He
might be deprived of one more angel-splrit, and
therefore sent kind angel from above to bear a
loft his unsullied little soul, there to repose on the
bosom of his Jesus, there to plead the cause Of
those who gave him life No earth will
his dear little lips be heard to lisp the name o.
spa''-no more his tott!ing feet be heard be-
meath the homestead roof-no more will his glee
some voice welcome bis parents return, and ne
yer again will his tiny arms encircle their necks
But oh he lives above, bright and glimmerlnG
| little star, shining about his Savour's throne
seeming to say to his mourning parents here be
low, sweep not, dear father and mother, for
am happy now; | am here to give you joyin
welcome when Jesus calls YOU home b.
