Death ever brings with it food of solemn
Notwithstanding to an agony Of terror,
when the wicked and ungodly die, but min
gled with sweet consolation when the good,
the pure, and yirtuous fall asleep in Jesus.
For them, Death is robbed Of its sting, the
cold dark grave Of its victory and, even
when folded in the arms Of Azrael, the placid
mien and heavenly smile bCspeak the boon
of inward Peace and Hope. <. s...s,H. Is
Our departed friend attached herself to the
Baptist Church, almost as soon as she. ar
riyid at an age Of accountability to God.
The hallowed influence Of Divine grace, thus
early, converted the sweet and gentle child
into an humble consistentfolloWer OF Christ;
and, during the whole of her brief sojourn on
earth, she dwelt nigh unto the foot OF the
cross The Bible was at all times the rule OF
her moral conduct and a supreme love OF
God, the ever~ruling sentiment OF her heart.
We would not arrogate perfection to weak
erring humanity, but we feel assured that,
by the help of God, her errors were the Weak~
nesses Of the flesh, and as near as 1t was
and her walk blameless. May her mourn
ing friends and relatives walk in the light of
her pure example, and may her early death
establish a, link, uniting their souls with
Heaven! = -. -.."<> . ..'
During the late war, she cheerfully as
sumed the arduous duties Of teacher in the
Wadsworth School In this capacity, she
remained until the close Of the struggle,
evincing the rarest mental and moral trains
ing, and by her fidelity and gentlenesS, win
ming the respect Of the patrons and the love
and confidence Of the children. Many
child>like heart will bleed at the thought,
that their beloved teacher is no more! But
it was in the home-circle, and in her social
relations, that the light of her many virtues
shone most brightly. Her quiet department.,
genteness Of heart, and unaSsuming worth,
won her way to the hearts of all, and, with
her serene earnestnesS Of manner, and great
purity Of thought and feeling, suppressed
levity, and elevated those, who dwelr in the
circle of her influence, 70 her own high
standard Of purity and goodness. Her place
on earth is left vacant, and the thought that
| sLITTLE FANNY" is gone, will came like a
bosom Of sorrow to many, many. q loving
heart! ,.. ..:-..-....r.. .
Not one year ago, she was led 5lushingly
20 the altar of marriage. The bride of a few
short happy months has passed away, as
flower, and the bereaved, sorrow>stricken
husband is left alone, with the helpless pledge
of her devotion! The appeal is strong to
every feeling heart, and the tears of many
friends are mingled with his, for her unrime-
ly death! Yet, we feel assured that with
her, TO die is great gain!" She has ex-
changed the trials and sorrows, or, at best,
the fieeting pleasures of earth, for the perena
NAL joys of Heaven! Tender mother of
sweet young babe, cherished wife Of devo-
ted husband, gentle daughter Of doting pa>
rents, sweet sister ofan afectionate house
hold, dear friend of better days, rest is peace
with thy God! 0. D. E.
