Her death leaves her husband most disconsolate,
family most forlorn. In her character wete
co mbined the excellencies of devoted
and coniding wife = a wife IN whom the
heart Of husband could safely trust--and a
tender and an aifectlonate mother. As wife,
she has ever been the confident and comforter
Of her husband, sharing his Joys and bearing his
griefs, As mother she has ever been the vigi-
liant guardian of her offspring, and when absent
from her, showing feeling most intensely alive
for their well beng: as Christian exemplary.
Having embr aced the Christian religion in early
life, she has been enabled to walk the short jour
ney of life peacefully. Confdingly leaning on
the Lord Jesus and meeting death without
alarm; She bore her suferings with fortitude
and without repning. Being asked if she had
any fear of death, she answered, emo, when the
struggle Of death is over, have no fear Of meet
ing the Judge" Thus, with an uuwavering
confidence and trust in God, our sister passed
awayIfrom time to eternity
Thou art gone dear sister, from the trials Of life;
Thou art gone from world of contention and
strife:
Thou art gone to partake of the blessin gs re-
served for those who proved faithful through life
unto death.
Then, merciful Father, to thee we will re-
sign the wife and the mother, the sister and
friend, well assured that through ages on
high, she will sit and glorify thee in her happi-
fled state. t

A CASE TO THE PolNT.-The course Of
our pro-slavery opponents in this campaign,
reminds US very forcibly OF hunting story
we remember hrnring when a boy:
A couple Of gentlemen by the names OF
Hofinan and Cowan, both Of whom were
good shois, and not linle given TO boasling
Of their skill, went out deer hunting. After
getting into The woods where they expected
10 find deer, they separated. Shortly after.
wards, Hoffman heard Cowan's gun fire,
when ne Immediately went over 10 The place
he heard The shot, expecting to have TO help
Cowan hang up deer. He found Cowan
very busy loading his gun, and shouted
cui--- - aR
"Hallo; Cowan, what did you shoot a,l'
'lt's none Of your business, Hoffman. 90
along over the hill"
Hoffman was surprised at this shor, ans
wer, and in looking around discovered q
calf among the bushes, he again cried OUT
II say. Cowan, did YOU shoor al ,ha.
calf?"
"Yes | did; but its none Of your business
"Why. what made you sboo. at i.!"
"Why, took il for dser."
"Well, did you Hit il?"
mo, missed il.'
SHOW came you 10 miss i,?"
"Well, was not sure bu, that it was a
calf"
"Well," said Hoffman, bursting into d
laugh. "you are pretty hunter to shoe. at q
calf for deer, and then miss IT,"
"See here Hoffman," said Cowan, losing
his temper, II say, don't make fool Of
yourself; sho, at ii just so as to hit II if il
,cas deer, and miss IL if 1t ,cas calf"
1t is jus. so with our opponents. Last
fall they we're exceedingly vindictiye in
their denunciations Of oath bound secret or.
garizalions. Since then the wheel has Ia.
ken turn, and they find their fortunes uni
ted to the destinies Of secre, political body
known in our mids, as The "Sag Nich,s. -
