aequiin anccs. The Island visit at that time
seemed 10 be beneficial to her health. but was
again upon a decline through the winter and
spring following. She had formed an attach

pany with DIR. B., and wife repaired to the
Island again, in hopes that the inviguratlng at

of disease which was praying upon her. But
her health being more delicate than before, rem
dcred the journey very fatiguing, and during the
few weeks there She continued to fail until nature
ceased to perform her functions, and the happy
spirit took It's flight to a9orl and beautify the
spirit world. Mrs. Calender was q lady possess

unusually calm, peaceful and happy. The hus-

In Pennington, Aug. 10, SILAS A. TREW,
of Consumption.
The deceased hal been living for some time
in Cumberland Co, Illinois. His father, Nelson
Trew. learning a few weeks since, Of his decline,
proceeded to Illinois. and had him conveyed to
his residence in Harrington, where he shortly
afterwards expired, leaving a wife, but no ehil

In Hubbard, on the 18th ult,, MARY, daugIr
ter of David and Hannah Struble, aged %
years.
The deceased was possessed of much natural
amiabiiity hence she leaves not only her bcreayed
parents. 6rothers and sisters to lament her loss,
but also a large circle of acquaintance. Her
death, though not sudden, yet, was q solemn
warming that youth is the time to seek and serve
the Lord, as it illustrates most impressiyely that
the youth NAV die. For more than q year she
was the subject Of much religious anxiety, she
at last came to be deeply impressed with the ne
cessity of giving her heart to God, whose love
she saw so fully and so freely exhibited in the
gift of his son to redeem lost sinners. During
last illness she had a hard struggle with the
great enemy. She had great distress OF soul on
account of her sins, but she wrestled earnestly
for pardon and peace, nor did she plead IN vain,
for the Lord made darkness light about her, so
that she could say Gle has pardOned my sins,
81 trust in Christ" She had much anxiety for
the spiritual welfare of her beloved friends. and
this was evident from the touching appeals she
made to them henceforth to serve the Lord and
prepare for heaven. To all appearance she was
now established upon the rock of ages" she
now leaning upon the arm of her Beloved,
aud had Joy and peace in believing. The chief
She manifested, was that she had not
made q public profession Of her faith. This she
now ANXIOUS to do as far rs the circumstances
would permit, that she might declare her love for
that Sayier who said. "if you love me Keep ny
commando" In compliance with her request.
upon G solemn and an intelligent declaration of
her faith, she was baptized.
Although she had MUCH bodily suffering, she
had, during the remaining daysof her life, much
in yard peace and comfort, and as she neared the
haven of rest, her prospects Of happiness seemed
to brighten, and the hast exercise Of her tongue.
NOW silent in death was to glorify God.
NIB. L.
Another loved one passed from earth
Eashrincd in memory dear,
We mourn in sadness round the hearth.
So cheered by her while here. !
She died mid loving voices,
Entreating her 10 stay,
But a holier band. and brighter
Were reckoning her away.
We loyed-oh, how deeply,
We meyer knew before,
But the heavenly band has won her, l
We can gseet her here no more.
And yet VIC would not reeallher now
From her home of glory down, |
Fn, we know she's there an angel,
