DIED, on the 7th instant, at the residence OIL
her father, MARY ELLEN, aged II years and
II days, second daughter OF John J. Lambert
esq OF Piscatawav District, Maryland after q
plo'racted and lauguishing illness OF upwards OF
twelve months, which she bore with cheerful
resignation, exemplary patience, and Christian
fortltude.
This yourg and beautiful girl, amiable in
society, unaffected in simplicity, pleasing IN
manners, modest in department, alas Tor the
fleeing and pershable moments OF frail and
transient humanity, has been, the flower scarce
ly blown, ruthlessiy struck down by the grl ly
hand OF Implying, nnaPPeaSable deatn Her
demise has caused to gusn anew an excess oil
anguish, bitter and melancholy, easier 10 be i'm
agined than explained; from the heart Of ali al
tecuonate father, has awakened again grief not as
yet soothed, feelings not as yet allayed, sorrows
not as yet extnguished, and has revived sharp
regrets, not yet dormant, in a large circle OF
brothers, sisters, relatives and friends.
IL is true, this young lady has been taken
from among us blooming with youth, al a time
when the Imagination Is ardent, when the world
and the thing In the world, wear an agreeable
and fascinating aspect; but, perhaps, by the in'
tcrutable ways OF Providence. she has been res
cued from the snares, temptations, sorrows, al
~tlictions and mlsfortunes OF a heartless and sell
fish world; she from being mortal, has put on
immortaitI, a happy one we hope, and her
| spirit has passed uncoRtaminated ~ a happier
and better existence.
We see stand aghast, and are astonished at
the death OF verdant and expec'ant youth; ma
ture compels us to sorrow, but We must not sor-
row like those who have no hope IN a happy
Immortality. blessed are those that die III the
Lord, Tor they rest from tneiT labors, and their
works do follow them Every ore OF US, Old
and young, rich and poor, hastrns with all I'm
perceptlble step towards the portals OF the tomb;
from the bournes OF which no one has or ever
| will return-ineXorable and remorseless death
strikes alike, with impartial hand, the palace oil
the great and the cottage OF The poor. III Is
therefore a comfort; TO the bereaved, that they
perhaps at no distant day, will TeJ"In those,
whom they SO much loved; those, who lett them
| discousolate and broken hearted for a land OF eler'
Nal happiness, never more 10 be separated
She fell lanented by many-by none more SO
than by U.s."
In Marlboro, Md, on Thursday last, after a
long and painful illness, Mr.. VIM YOUNG
aged 40 wears. We have never recorued the
death OF a more modest, retiring and worthy man
than was the deceased. He mas not, We are sure
left an enemy behind him. His habits OF indus
try and strict attention 10 business were re-
markable; and it is a singular fact that during
a residence OF near twenty years in this village
he has but once been three miles beyond MS
| place of abode and then to consult a physician IN
his last illness.

her brothers, near Augusta, Ill, Mrs MARY
SLADE TUFTS, in Ter 2eth year, daughter o
