 It was just three years and one day since the death of her next older sister Della. The two, then respectively r, and 19 years of age, had shortly before become the hopeful subjects of precious Revival of religion in their native par ish.. Dellas christian race was short. Elias was to be a little longer, but still brief She had constitutionally that slight and delicate frame, and that sensitive, refined and gentle na- ture, which so often mark their possessors as destined for an early grave. Not long after her sisters death, Consumption began to manifest itself by its deceptive and yet fatal features and hers was the usual course of it's victims. But while the outward man pershed, the in- ward man was renewed day by day. Her Bible, and Hymn Book, her religious paper, and oth- ter like works, became her more constant com panions. The visits of her Pastor and christian friends were welcome and pleasant: and when prayer was offered her fearful eyes showed the interest she felt.
 It was not often her privilege to go to the house of God, but she loved to find out and note , down the passages of Scripture used as texts. On the first Sabbath in Nov. last, she, in com pany with her mother, made Q profession of her christian faith by uniting with the Church, and for the first and only time partook of the sacra- ment of the supper. It was the last Sabbath on which she was able to be present in the Sanctu- ary.
 Hers was simple life of piety. And as death drew near she seemed ready for his coming. Sne oade her friends not to weep for her; told mem that she was going home to live with her heavenly Father; and urged them so to live that each, and parting kiss, she sunk gradually away, and died so gently that for Q time it was "ouptfli whether she was yet dead or still alive. ner funeral was attended by large congre- gauon on Sabbath P. M. June 2nd. The Pastor Rfeacned from Ps. 71:5. "Thou art nv hone. a Ms Moau uoa, .no9 M art my trust from my youth. Two favorite Hymns were sung on the occas;on. the first commencing, ' '''"'A'''
 Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep.
 From which none ever wake to weenn The second was,-
 In the Christians home in glory.
 There remains land of rest,
 There my Savior's gone before me,
 To fulfill my souls request;
 He is fitting up my mansion,
 Which eternally shall stand,
 For my stay shall not be transient,
 In that holy, happy land,
 Pain and sickness ne'er shall enter,
 Grief nor woe my lot shall share,
 But in that celestial centre, crown of life shall wear; '
 Sing sing, ye heirs of glory;
 Shout your triumphs as you go;
 Zion's gates will open for you,
 You will find an entrance thro' CHORUS.
 There is rest for the weary,
 There is rest for the weary
 There is rest for the weary,
 There is rest for you
 On the other side of Jordan. @ft In the sweet fields of Eden.
 Where the tree of life is blooming.
 There is rest for you.
