and the mothers sadness was made deeper by
the artleSs story Of The child, who said that
E'the angel told her she would die lust two
| months from the time she first saw it. at pre-
clsely twelve O'Clock and twenty-five minutes );
that she would be three days in diving that
her death would be unlike that of others: that
her friends would suppose her to be in a trance:
that her eyes would not be closed that her
funeral sermon would be preached in three
weeks alter, IN The new school bouse of the
neIghborhood,' BY man whom, with bis horse
and buggy, she described, and that her friends
would have difficulty in procuring the house
for the occasion" The mother kept the sad Sc
cret to her herself, and waited for the appointed
time, hoping that all might yet 60 well with
her and hers, and not caring to be reckoned as
one who would attempt to revive The defunc;
doctrine OF spiritualsm. But with the time
came the terrible blow.
Three days before the time predicted for her
death, the little girl fell upon the foor from
whence she was taken to bed, and at the hour
and minute toretold, on the third DAY, breathed
her last. Her eyes remained open after death,
and could not be closed. Friends, supposing
her 10 be enttanced, made vain efforts 10 restore
her TO lie. A few days after her burial, Rev.
II. T. Darst was passing that way, friend of
Mrs Charles requested him to tarry awhile and
preach the little girls funeral sermon. The I
reverend gentleman excused himself on the I
