Of her so,l-n-aw, MIR. James White, where she was
uldeuly attacked and as suddenly died.
The deceased was long and we'll known BY the
author of these lines, for in days gone past, it was
his fortune to be placed under her maternal care
and attention and now, in recording her death, the
tear. drop nmisicns the eye AMI the heart h'avcs
melancholy sigh in memory Of the departed ma'ron
and Of the many pleasant hours spent in her house
hold. Happy days were they, and long will it be
ere those joyous scenes ofmy youth are oblIterated
and forgotten.
Mrs. RUTLAND Was an uncommon wuinan. She
was Il woman Of the ullen time, aud in her were
blended many social virtues which peculiarly en-
feared her to the family connection, her friends
au! NIL who knew her. As u wife she WAS duu
and cnnlidne; as a mother strict but atft ctonae
AS friend and nriglbor faithful and obl;ging. And
vet. with all these commcndablc qualities, she is
zone Her place in the family circle is vacant, aud
lonely in the quiet Church yard she sleeps in peace.
Long live her memory, anu God bless her afliict, d
E, latves.
For near tventy-seyen years. we are told, she
has been an exemplary member Of the Baptist
Church, and for considerable length Of time her
membership has been with the Ridge Spring Church.
AS good Christian, she was faithful to her calling
strictly devoted to its services, and always re-
iocing in its prosperity. But, go"d soul, she has
ron, to her reward, aud is happy in Heaven. Yet,
in the language Of the poet
{" Who would live alway, away from his God,
Away from yon heaven, that blissu abode,
Where rivers OF pleasure How ucr the bright plains,
And the noon-tdc of glory ctrrnally reiel's ~
She leaves ,lisconsE,,c and aged husband sew

The deceased WAS a daughter Of Mrs. Rutland,
whose death is given ahnvr, and was alike dlslIn.
suishcd for her pie,y and anliahc disposition. At

inc grace, and thcrcupon put on Christ by baptism.
Since then she has maintained her religion in Il
truly consistent manner anil by Cody conversa
ton, and died leaving her Christian robe without
spot or blcnish.
The empty phrase OF culogy or pathos cannot
l.scribe the many beauties Of her character in
nl The relations Of life she amaGle and interest
ing. and none knew her but to love her. In her

DIED. on the 9th ult., of Drcncy of the chest,
Mrs. PARTuENIA SETTLE, consort Of Z. II. Settle.
The deceased had been in lingering state OF
health for some time previous to her death, though
generally able to attend to her domestic duties up
10 the morning of her death, when she was sud
denly and violently attacked, and expired in an
hour or two; thus most forciDly illustrating, that,
really in life we are in the midst of death She
leaves an afectiopate husband, four little children,
and numerous friends and relations to mourn her
loss. But tlcy mourn not as those without hopc
for they confidently believe that their loss is her
eternal gain. She united herself at an early age
with the Baptist Church at Ilardys, but had rcmo-
we'd her membership to Gilgal, Of which she was
an orderly and consistent member, exemplifying ut
all times and under every circumstance, the meek
ness and charity of the true and genuine christian
