never left her; yet she never enjoyed those bles-
sings and helps only found in public confess
sion OF Religion and connection within the
pals of some branch of tie Christian Church.
She, however, months ago made personal ded-
ication of her soul and body to God. for Christ
sake had accepted the sacrifice. Oct. lst A

set in, which baffied the urtireing energies and
skill of the attending physicians, as well as the
most potent remedies. She however bore her
affections with becoming Christian meekness
