Margaret K. Filler, in lhe goth year OF heF
age.
The death OF This young lady is deeply ielt
and wildly moufned. To her natural endow-
mens of mind and heart, which secured The es-
TEEN and affection OF her acquaintances, were
added, We trust, the richer adornments OF reii-
gion. Interested 10 the covenant oil Christ,
with views of the plan OF salvation remarkably
clear, and exercises of mind, though not stri-
k ngly marked, yet such as indicate the spe-
cial operations OF divine grace, owe mourn not
as those who have no hope" She was not
communing member Of the church Although
SHE had in contemplation public profess ION OF
religion several months before her death, unim-
paired health and other causes prevented; she
SPake bot little to others OF her religious exerci

much occupied with eternal realities. The E.
venlng oi her death, when a christian friend
was reading one OF the Psalms, she anticipated
the reader and quoted, in clear calm voice, a

"heTcy and truth are met together; righteou-
/ ness and peace have kissed each other" Her
last thoughts were gwen to the Saviour and bis

/ The mother OF the deceased, for many wears
widow, has now committed 10 the grave six
daughters and one son. Gods dealings with hi,
people are often nscrutable "Joseuh is no,
and Simeon IS not, and We Will take BENJAMIN
away all these things are against me Such
was the Patriarch's lament But the hand OF
vIslant love was in all his affections, and the
night OF weeping gave place to a morning OF
10Y. To the bewiderpd and mourning parent.
! Infinite Love SAYS "What / do thou knowes,
not now, but thou shalt know hereafter" and
conhdiDg faith may respond alt is the Lord
let hIm do what seemeth him good''
