OBITUARY.
Mrs SARAH CATHERINE consort of Mr.. s. P. SHEn-

Mrs Eliza Lander, born in Linconton, N. c.,

and died at her home, in the above mentioned town,
Sept 18th, 1865
From childhood her physical organization was
slender and frail, yet her mind was remarkably
vigorous and active and cultivated by fair educa-
ton which made her an agreeable companion: Tie
order of her mind was such that she quickly per-
ceived correctly retained and accurately narrated
In all things order and regularity were her promi
nent characteristics.
In infancy she was dedicated to God in holy
baptism In the twelfth year of her age she pub
t-licy acknowledged her membership in the NJ. E.
Church. and soon protested saving faith in the Lord
Jesus, Her faith was neither obtrusve nor pre-
sunptive, still it uhshaken and child-lke amid
all its trials. Fer nearly two years she was sOrely
afflicted with very enervating form of bronchitis,
but she suffered with patience and true Christian
heroism enduring hardness as a good soldier of
Jesus Christ. During the last nine manths of her
illness, we intimately associated with her and
quently spoke the of personal religion
She expressed much love for her husband, great
tenderness of solictude for her two interesting little
children and strong desire to live for Meir interest,"
vet she always manifested perfectLresignation to
the will of God. She enjoyed great buoyaucy of
spirit loved life and fond of the society of her
friends.
Three days before her death she became entirely
reconeied to the sad thought of being separated
from her children, and devoutly commended them
with all other relatives and friends, the fatherly
care of God and said that she felt usually happy
About an hour before her death she said to her at
tendalt Physician: doctor is this death?' Paus-
ing a moment for answer she said: "Yes this is
death" And again, show long will it-take to die?
Soon will be in the arms of my blessed. Saviour
On being asked by sister if she could trust in
Jesus, so yes" says she, IL can trust in Jesus"
And she calmly fell asleep in the confidence OF
a precious faith.
Her spirit has gone to Paradise, and We have COM
mited her body to its mother earth in the blessed
assurance that it will rise in the first resurrection
As her realizes and friends, Mourn her fall but
rejoice in her triumph. E. G. GAGE.

near this town, on the morning of the 25th Sept,
WILLIAM TAYLOR infant son of B. f. and ELIzABETH
A. MORROW, aged years and months.
This interesting and amable hid from his earliest
days was remarkable for his sweetness and docility
of disposition During the whole of his sickness,
which lasted some weeks, scarce a cry or a moan
was heard to escape from him. His sufferings were
great and protraeted; but it is our consolation TO
know that. without actual sin and as a baptized
member of the great body of the redeemed, he has
entered into his rest and that
: Now with souls for Heaven the meetest,
Fer life's troubled pathway trod,
Where young angels sing the sweetest,
Little Willie praises God.
