OBITUARY..

Mrs. EDWINA Moss REAGAN, consort of Post
master General Reagan, died in this city on the
evening of the Dist instant, Mt il o'clock, after u
short AMI painful illness. She was the daughter
of the late Col. Edwin helms. of Grimes county,
Texas, formerly of Northumberland county, Va,
where she was born OH the 22d December, 1881:
consequently at the time Of her death, her age
was thirty-one years and five months.
Tho deceased lady. WAS eminently endowed
with MI tho qualities that endear; and noone
who had the privilege of her acquaintance can
avoid lamenting: the early departure of one so
mectIy fitted to adorn the circle in which she
moved. But, alas while so many friends will
mourn. with all the sincerity of human sorrow,
| the withdrawal of her pure spirit from this vale
! Of tears, to the plains of Paradise, who can IA.
Thorn the depths of that grief, or who can esti-
mate the reality Of that loss which the wifeess
| husband and motheress children have TO de-
| plorei 1t is easy to speak comfort to the an
! guished but no language can send home balm
to the aching hearts of those TO whom the cAuse
| of lamcntaton must daily show itself, as daily
the sense Of being berefs brings forth its painful
presence. The bereaved husband may retreat
within his reason, and, wrapping the mantle o.
mourning close about his manhood, withstand
the worst Of the ruthless shock which death cvel
delivers to poor humanity; but where is the re
| flge for the afflicted children upon whose awak.
ching senses the poignant evidence of their loss
must gather rs they grow?
But even the dense clouds of woe WHICH death
ever leaves in its melancholy train, are not imper
vious to the touch of faith, which bursts its brgh
beams through the darkest gloom, and tints will
| hope tue sorrows OF man. She who has passed
away. when,tc our finite seeing her presence coulc
least he spared has only gone to realms perpetn
al rest and at most, gone there short time before
all who survive must follow, and who have the
boon of her example to so guide their course il
life that when death shall come, it may bid then
sleep in Christ, and join her where those who dit
in the Lord forever sing hallelujahs before tbt
throne where lifo is everlasting and death dotl
not enter
The funeral will take place this afternoon at
o'clock, from DR.. Jeter's Church, Grace, abov
