Mrs. MoRnIs, was the wife of James r. Morris,
one OF the proprietors Of this paper. We might
search long before We would find another Who
has in so brief a time followed so many of his
dearest relatives to the tomb as Mr.. Norris.
A lew years since his fathers family Was nm
broken and happy; but death has been gath
ering them, one by one, to the grave, until the
departed outi,umber tlfosc Of the family who
are left to weep for them. sIS sSsiigs
Five little children. too young to know all
their loss are left, by the death of Mrs. MoRRls,
without 4 Mother. Her watchful eye will no
more guide their little feet away from tho
snar..s of life--her soothing voice will no more
louiet their childish griefs. They may weep
long and bitterly, and vainly ask where's my
Mo.hers' That Mothers eye sees not their
anguish, her ear hears not their calling. But,
years will come, and pass, and the recollection
of their Mother will Seem but As alialfs remeni-
bered dream. They may stand by her grave
! and their minds go back to childhood and feel
/ a sad longing for some falicied sanity image
which they will call their Mother. An aching
void in their hearts, that refuses to be flleds
will tell them more plainly than the stone at
the head of the grave, that they have lost one
they fondly loved.
Brothers, sisters and an aged Mother have
lost one of their dearest relatives; society has
lost one of its most useful members, and the
Church has lost one of its brightest ornaments,
for from her early youth she has been q faith
i full and devoted christian. go
4 Nav He whose Providence overrules all
things for the best, calm the grief of those
who are bcreavei, and guide and direct those
