an impression upon those who knew her BEST that it

There are some characters so admirably constituted,
full of instruction and of noble stimulus that they
ought to hang slde by side with the portrait of pi-
Gus mother or sainted sister in the halls of memo
ry and such was hers. Her modesty, her meekness.
and the steadness and earnestness of her piety have
made an impression for good, upon the whole circle
of her acquaintance rarely equaled almost never sur
passed. Young as she was there are many stars in
her crown of rejoicing

her whole soul hated sim She modest but she
was not afraid OF ashamed to Christ her Lord
and Redeemer. And with all her modesty and quiet
ness it is astonishing to how many ways of doing
good she found, and how many currents of moral
influence she set in motion. The impression came up
on US like the dew of night gently that scarcely
knew whence or how it came but it refreshed the
dry earth and made many flower of beauty bloom
that else had withered in the bud That influence
still lives, though she is gone to her rest. II
We parted with her sadly and tea rfullv but in full
assurance OF hope and now though sad ut the parting
yet thankful for the hope, bow the WISDOM the
mercy and the will of God, and looking up to him we
can say even at the grave s-
