OBITUARY.

DIED-In Lecsville O., OFT. 10th 1855, Of Ty'
phoid fever, Miss SUSAN PRIcE, in the 3lst year Of
her nge.
The subject Of this notice made public profess
sion Of the religion Of Jesus when young, and
gave her name to the VI. T.. Church to which most
Of her friends ct that time belonged. Subsequent
ly on becoming better acquainted with that Church
and especially with its deeply criminal connection
with that most sinful Of all sins, American Slavery
she left and connected herself with the Wesleyan
Methodist. Here she felt more at home, and here
she laborci for Odd and humanity, with a zeal
and perseverance,, worthy Of the cause in which
she was engaged. In after years Der mind seems
to have undergone some change as to the utility Of
visible Church organizations. Her faith was in
tho power of truth to save men, churches md ma.
tions from their sins, and hence looked forward
to the time when the nations of the earth shall
become one great brotherhood. For native good
ness Of heart the writer has never seen her supe
rior--she had many friends, and perhaps no per
sonnl enemies. Those who knew her best praised
her most, she was the warm and never changing
friend Of the slave, such was the co imposition of the
moral nature thai TO be pro.slayery was impossi
lie. But her mission here seems to have been
more particularly to the sick, and suffering of her
own neighborhood. Long will she be remembered
by those to whom she ministersd in the hour of
~afliction and by none will her memory be cher
ished longer, and her loss felt more than 10y the col.
roed People of the place. God only knows who
will be found to take her place, when sickness in
vades, and want, and restitution threatens those
poor and despisod ones, Hundreds of times have
their hearts leaped with joy at the sound of the
footsteps of her who now slumbers in the grave.
But she is gone to the spirit home. She is moi
dead-she lives. Her days of suffering are at an
end. And although relations and friends may
never more listen to the deep soulstirring tones Of
that rich melodious voice-though her earthly
form will be seen no more in the sanctuary of home
at the side Of the sick, or in :he outward church Of
God, yet a more extended sphere of usefulness is
hers. Is she not a ministering spirit? Will her
heart be less kind, her nature less mild, and will
her soul feel less OF the promptings of humanity,
now that she has exchanged this world Of pain and
sorrow far that "homc not made with hands ~
"She affirmed that she had no fears of death" Civ
ing as n reason, "she had done what she conceived
to be her duty" The last day of her illness she
was seen to notice the clock, and as it struck one,
she counted enc, two, three. at which hour she left
the storm-swept shores of time to mingle with "tne
bright fratcrnal band to walk with them the visi.
ters Of the radiant spirit land. With increased
facilities for doing good, and freed from the embar.
easements incident to this lire-we trust. that that
element in her nature, which so distinguished her
from most others will find ample employment
never resting satisfied while one case of suffering
remains uncared for ia all the Empire of God.
A FRIEND.
