her GSth year, Maria, wife of Benz. Benson
and daughter ofCapt. Robert SheweII. of Pbila.
delphla.
She was the niece ofElizabeth Shewell. who
became the wife of the celebrated painter Benz
West, under circumstances of difficulty and
opposition from her friends that made their
marriage one of romantic interest, and the
theme of writer's who have rendered it familiar
TO most readers But not to any connection
with the names of the great or renowned did
| the subject OF this memoir look In her own
home aud amid It's endearments she found her
appropriate shere,-pOssessing in an eminent
degree all the elements that constitute female
excellence. She made her home the theatre
for their exhibition, and as the devoted wife.
the loving mother, the kind neighbor, the true
and sincere friend, she passed quietly on in the
discharge of every duty. But more than this
she was a devoted christian. For forty-two
years she bore the weight of an increasing in
trmity, but bore it without murmur or COM
plalnt-oiten saying that, notwithstanding her
afillclion, she felt she had constant reason for
gratitude to her Heavenly Father; and though
she was not conscious during her last illness
leaving no dying testimony to cheer the hearts
of husband and children, she has left that bet
ter and more valuable testimony of over forty
years living devotion to God. And it was fiji
and appropriate that pastor, relatives, friends
and neighbors should gather around the re.
mains of one who had thus lived, and sing the
we'll selected hymn:
"Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb:
Take this new treasure to thy trust,
And give these sacred relics room
TO suIaber in the silent dust;"
and while those relics were consigned TO their
last resting place, the hearts of bereaved ones
looked forward to that future morn when one
with power to burst the bands of death shall
say to that tomb
"Restore thy trust-a glorious form
Call'd TO ascend and meet the Lord"
In the light of this glorious hope we commit
thee, lov'd one, to that faithful tomb-life's
duties faithfully performed life's trials faithful
ly borne, thou hast gone to meet with loved
ones gone before,
" While the memory of thy virtues fingers yet,
Like twilight hues when the sun has set.'

6T The Paraguay Expedition now numbers
twenty vessels CT different classes, large and
small. Additions are made without expana-
ton, though there is strong conviction here
abouts that it will either turn out farce or a
tragedy. When large and costly preparations
were making for the Utah Expedition, public
expectation became raised to point which was
never subsequently, realized. 1t now turns out
that the MormOns never seriously intended re-
sistance, and what is more important, they were
never able TO make it, on any scale which would
have retarded even the snail orig inal force un-
der Gen. Johnston.
A like contamination in Paraguay would ex-
cite no surprise. Competent officers express
the opinion that Lopez has abundant resources
of men and defences to give US serious trouble,
if he decides to fight. His advantage of posi-
tion, properly sustained, can be made formida-
BILE against the present force, and should the re-
sistance be such as is practicable, the naval
strength alone dispatched will be unequal to
the necessities, because it can only be efficient
tot certain degree, and should have the CO.
operation of land force, under able military
direction.
