IN youth death came and called hor ;Iway:

SARAH ANroINErTE, consort of Mr.. Thomas
j. Steele, on the 9TH of January, 1858, in the
22d year of hor age. The subject of this no
tice was Justly ondeared to large circle of
acquaintances, dearly beloved by her parents
and other kindred. Having a Geart susccp-
tible of social soul-endcarine friendship, she
had year previous to her death become tho
partucr of n kind and tenderly affoctiofate
husband, was mother to n sweet and lovely
infant, 10 these and to parents, sisters and
brothers, she was linked in all that endcar-

world. Her illness was short, cut off sudden
y lin the spring time of life, reminding us
that :" in tho midst of life we arc in death"
and OF the uncertainty of all earthly happi-
ness. But We hope she is now chanting the
praises of her Rcdeomer in that "happy, hap
Ply land" she loved SO much to speak Of

And guides the weary soul to perfect rest"
