We do not apologize for the following notice
Of the life of Mrs. Eliza l.. Goddard, whose
decease was recorded in the Press ofthe 10Th
accompanied with few spontaneous, but APP
propriate editorial remarks
Mrs. Goddard was daughter of Jonathan
Payson, Esq, in early life a member of the
State government of New Hampshire, and af-
forwards, and till his death, Postmaster at
Portsmouth.
On the mothers side grandniece of Hon.
Timothy Pickering, Secretary of State, I'M
der Washington. She inherited large share
Of the TALENT high moral sense, industry and
energy, which were characteristic OF that fam
lily.
With method and thoroughness. alike con-
spicuous, were combined social, genial and
most cheerful emperament-adorned by an
humble trust in HIM who is the Slight and
the life OF the world"
To Incidence, mental or physical, she was
a stranger-being never idle.
Ingenious, and enjoying all she undertook to
do, she excelled in all-her efficiency during
early and middle life, both in her household,
and in searching out and supplying the wants
OF the needy, as well as in uniting in public
benevolent enterprises, rendered her life a
continuous habit of doing good-a preference
Of others to herself.
Cnltivating nothing misunderstanding
evil Of none, never impatient, nor reproach-
ful-she diffused calm sunshine around her,
both at home and abroad.
OF her it might truly be said, that Sin pa
tient'e she possessed her soul.'
The light of the eyes, and support to the
arm of her husband, he safely put his trust in
her--being ever reminded during their do
mestic term of fifty-four years, lin which
death had never entered the family circle,)
that the last chapter Of Proverbs. from the 10th
verse to the close, presents true portrait Of
her character and life.
Devoted to the best welfare Of her children,
unwearied as their guide and instructor when
in health, and as their nurse in sickness-in
unison with the befriended who are not of her
kindred, they all unite "to call her blessed"
Digniaed, yet afiectienate in manner-she
was beautiful in intellect, in character and in
person.
Beautiful in life-and in death.

Two-YEAR FIVE PER CENT. NOTES.-The
new loan which the Government is at present
negotiating is but little understood. The
notes with the above title are just the thing
for the investments of people who may have
money ON hand, perhaps in the bank, drawing
no interest, which they expect to use on some
future day; and yet they do not dare to in-
vest 1t in bonds or shares for fear they may be
called upon suddenly for their payments.
Now by investing in these notes five per cent.
can be earned on the money, II the notes are
held six months; but even If the owner is
obliged to use them as tender, he can use
them at par-while, without doubt, he can
obtain the accrued interest from the person to
whom he makes the tender. For temporary
investment they offer the best loan IN the
market They are payable in two years. and
can be obtained at any National Bank.
