tomb, vet such is the indescribable Solemnity of
deaths approach that when he concth we are
startled by the stern message and our strength
turned to weakness. But when aroused by the
midnight cry, Behold he cometh W.T. nre filed
with CONSERVATION and alarm. Yet such ras this.
Who could have predicted it-with scarce n note
Of a~larm-within the compass Of one brief day
and her spirit is surprised into the presence Of
God. So suddenly have the hopes of q youthful
husband been crushed, and o widowed mother,
with a surviving daughter, called to weep for the
third time over the early grave Of their buried
dead. From the height of joy they so recently
occupied they have been precipitated to the very
depths of sorrow. Only tears now are sweet to
them, for they alone succeed to her who was dear
est in their affections.
The superior and attractive qualities of this
most amiable and youthful wife we can scarcely
exaggerate. Possessed of charms both of person
and character none could refuse to esteem if they
did not love her. The expressive sweetness Of
her face-the beautiful modesty which mantled
her cheek-the grace and elegance of her man.
ners with the unobtrusiveness and kindness of
her life, made her one Of the most lovely of wo-
men. Her meekness and simplicity rendered her
perfectly superior to the glitter of display while
the nobility of her spirit fitted her to adorn any
station in life. The guilelessuess of her heart
united with the most unsuspecting confidence made

life we discovered nothing but what was pure,
lovely and of good report. But above all, that
which made her such as woman ought to be was
the charm of her piety. Without the beauty Of
holiness, her SPLENDID qualities would have been
as the adornments of the sepulchre IN which hu-
man nature lies corrupted and IN The
providence which bereayed her Of a youthful SIS
ter caused her to turn her eyes to the cross and
from the cross still upwards to the heavens,
whittier We hope her spirit has assembled. Chast-
ened by frequent visitations of painful sickness
she cultivated q spirit of cheerful resignation to
every providence and thus continually ripened for
heaven. The mild and placid cheerfulness which
marked her countenance and department would
lead US to suppose that in the habitual frame of
her spirit she waked acith God. And now grace
has completed its triumph in adding to the celes-
tial choir one more spirit of 'the just made per-
feet" We are persuaded, that our loss is her un-
speakable gain. Our faith follows her within the
veil and c%ontemplates her resting from the tolls of
earth and sitting Town with Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob in the kingdom of God. Bright as she
shoneiu her earthly sphere, the light was dim and
obscure compared to that which now invests her.
Her pure and celestial spirit has assembled to its
native seat where she 'bears the name Of her God
on her forehead and serves him day and night in
his temple"
With a sacred awe we have laid her body in the
grave. Sleep on sweet sleepertill the last trumpet
blows and the dead arise. May we hear a voice
in this most affecting providence, speaking unto
us, "Be ye also ready" And may He who alone
has immediate accesst to the heart, calm every agi-
tation and solace every disquietude Of the be-
reaved.
DIED-In this District on the 9th inst, Capt.
ROBERT CALDWELL, in the I'D year of his
age. In early life he made a profession of reli-
gion, and connected himself with the Presbyte-
rian Church. The lively interest which he ever
manifested in the concerns of the Church, and his
readiness to aid in whatever would be conducive
to her prosperity-united with the consistent walk
and conversation with which he adorned his pro-
fession-bore decided testimony to the genuine
ness of his religion. In his removal, the Church
and community to which he belonged, have both
lost q useful member. But his relatives and friends
to whom he had endeared himself by his amiable
disposition, and whose hearts have been made sad
by this event, ''sorrow not as those that have no
hope" 1t is their comfort to know that he both
lived and died as q Christian. He saw his death
approaching, and having set his house in order,
quietly yielded up his spirit into the hands of his
master.
