Al gain the monster death has been in our circle,
and removed from our midst one who possessed
all the loselincs5ef her,-sex. She was the EN-
bIcm Of purity, the embodiment of holiness, md
1T was her constant desire to do the will l0f her
Heavenly Fathor. Oh how sad to think that
death laid his icy finger upon this sweet creature
who DECORATED The domestic circle with the eowe'
Of affection, and adorned the profession she mn &c

and oh, how happy we were: We, ,clmed the hills,

toys sA-with tears sren now While I am attempt
ing to pen this simple tribute to the memory of
her whom so dearly loved. will often revert
to the past, and call to mind the more than happy
moments which VIC have spent In each others
society. l wish she was with me now; but why
express this wish, when know, that dear MAT
TIE is better off. She was too pure for this world,
hence God took her to himself, and gave her
for her companions, the angels that surround His
throne and for her portion, crown " hose beauty
and brightness, shall last, whom "moEarchs' and
Victors' gems shall blcnt in common dust"
Dear MATTE is gone She is now in heaven
with the dear dspsrtod onos who have gone be-
lore. A few weeks ago, rhe buried her last sur
viring child, and no doubt the departure of his
dear little treasure Of her heart hastened her own
death. They are now together in the Paridisc of
God. Imagine, kind reader, the happy nesting,
Ehich took place between them in tho better
world. A week before her death she suffered in
tensely. No heart can conceive Of h0r sHferings.
Iay or two before her spirit took it's fight to
tho eternal world, she was iusensiblo. She was
denied the power of speech. We have every
reason to believe, that she is now enjoying that
Rest which God has prepared for those who love
him. Through out her whole sickness she dis
closed Christian fortitude and resignation.
As wife, she had no superior Shcloyod her. .
husband with an unjying affection; as mother,
kind, loving, and obiging; as . daughter, She
was gentle, affectonate, and duulul; rs FREUD,
she was constant sincere, and unsuph;sticatcd:
s., a-Christian she Yus humble, .piuus, ODDLY, and
heavenly minded; as a sister, she was rich in
love, aud infinite in good works. She has gone
to her reward.
Inhsr demiie, earth has lost, and heayen gaino,l
a priceless jewel. Weep not for her, ati;cted
ones, for she has gone to that House, not made
With bands, eternal 10 the hcaSens.",s
She leaves husband, aud u faree eircle.of

God bless tho bereaved ones, and bind up their
broken hearts, and pour into their. wounded
spirits, the oil Of his consolation.
Dearest MATTE, thou art happy
In the realms, Of bliss and light;
Where TO pain can make, thee weery,a
And-no sickness dilaltby sight.
