prepared to meet in peace her last enemy lust
prior 10 her passage from the conflicts of earth,
to that bourne from whence no traveller has
yet returned, she sang very sweetly. She was
much beloved by her friends and acquaintances.
In her character she was virtuous and amiablc
as daughter she was dutifu aud obedient; and
as a wife kind and atIcctonate. She leay, 8 a
bcreaved husband, weeping parents, and sym,
pathlzing bro theirs and sisters, together with
other relatives aud acquaintance. to mourn her
sudden departure; but they weep aud mourn nui
AS those who have no hope, but anticipate with
JOY the period when thoy shall bo psrmtte to
hail her and associate with her in brighter
world, where disease, sorrow and death shall
never come,
"Ihe sweetest flowers must pass away,
The brightest hopes must die;
And when we fad they all decay.
We turn us to thesky.
There hope shall sit with smiling face,
And fill our souls with bliss;
And earthly sins no moro have place
In such world as this"
