1t has been the lot of few to suffer more than the
subject of this notice For many years though young,
she has been afflicted and latery, her disease became
omplicated-haying at once, lntiammatory Rheuma-
tiSm, Asthma, Paralysis and Dropsy. Human language
l. inadequate to describe her suheringS the
Imagination form the slightest conception of them.-
Sustained by her Heavenly Father, she bore up under
her trials with much foriude and met death with en-
tire comp0Surc ''Jesns can make dying bed soft rs
downy pillows are To her il was painful to be sepa-
rated from her aiectonate husband father and inter-

On the 9th of Feb, 1856, Mrs. MARGARET BELL, of
Augusta county, aged IS years. She was indeed one a.
mong the excellent ofthe Garth" Her memory deserves
and will receive in many hearts record far deeper and
every view suitable that some memorial of her should
hud place in the newspaper which, from its first pub
Ecation passed weekly under her eyes, until through
the inroads of disease, they failed longer to perform
their office.
Mrs Bell was the child of pious ancestry and was
prepared for bringng forth fruit in cid age By hay
lug been early 'panted in the house of the Lord"
When she became the wife Of james Bell Esq, lately
deceased she entered his household only to edo him
good and not evil all the days of her life" Rarely if
ever have we known mother, and step-mother,also
of more admirable prudence. 1t may be truly said tha
difference in the of affection she
bestowed or received Her habits of industrfor she
was one who Cooked well to the ways OF her house
her ripe judgement, her benevolent cheerful, affection
ate spirit; to which should be added crown, the
depth ofa most sincere andscriptra pety,a combined
to make her what she unqueStlonaby was-One OF the
best women of the community. Her servants, neigh
bOrS and friends-"behold how they loved her.. The
heart of her husband safely trusted in hcr" "Iler
children arise up and call her blessed"
Ii would swell this notice much beyond its proper
limits to tell of her Affections They distressing
far beyond anything have ever witnessed. Com
mencing about nineteen ago her disease kept its
course steadily TO the end. The trials of martyrdom
itself had been light in comparison But let that
heavenly grace be forgotten and unprased, which so
malifesty bore her through All who approached her
knew IL this which made her miracle of patience
in il all. Never complaint heard by day or by
night ALWAYS submissive and meek; with heart ev
err OVERLOOKING with love, and spirit surprisingly
cheerful even she died. as she had lived Cooking for
the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life
Ii was her earnest prayer that she might oulive her
husband-a desire arising solely from the hope that II
might promote his happiness and proof also, OF her
uncommon devotion TO it. Entirely contrary TO the ex
nectations of all their friends this request was granted
her of God She survived him six weeks. "They were
lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death
were not divided" Their dust sleeps with their kin
dred in the grave ward of Augusta Church. b.
