Bright in mind and sweet in face,
Full of ev'ry winning grace,
Idol of our dotng love,
Thou hast winged thy flight above
While ace bow meath sorrows load,
Thou art happy with thy God
Gone from earth dark cares away
10 the realms Of endless day.
As hfe's journey we pursue,
May we keep thy home in view;
And, when deaths dark stream is passed,
Rest with thee in Heaven at last!
Died. on the DIST of August, JENNIE WASHING.
TON, aged l3 years, 10 months, and 10 days,
daughter Of Lemuel G. and Isabella Campbell.
Her parents dedicated her to God in infancy
by the covenant seal of baptism. During Sc
res of meetings last Winter, while many dear
youth were anXiously inquring the way to be
saved, she came forward, and desired the prayers
Of the church in her behalf For some time it
was her plaintive cry that she was so sinful she
was not worthy to come, but soon her sorrow
was turned to JOY, and in her heart she cherished
a hope of pardon through her Saviour. Her
last illness land might say her first for she was
never known to scarcely utter complaint, was
borne with marked submission. A ehsracter of
seriousness pervaded her spirit, and general de-
pertinent. She was constitutionally retiring and
obtrusive-thoughtful and unpretending.
There was in her manner dignity remarkable
in one of her tender age. Had her life been
prolonged she would doubtless have been a
bright ornament to society, but He who - doeth
all things well' in wisdom called her to himself
In one short fortnight the Saviour she loved and
acknowledged in health bade her meet the sum
mons, just as the rising sun was casting his
bright beams over her couch, her gentle spirit
winged its flight on high. Many friends mourn
her loss, but are comtorted by the sweet hope
that it is her 'eternal gain"
"Short was her race-the longer is her rest,
God calls them soonest, whom He loyeth best.
She was inferred near her ancestors, and
round her grave was heard that sweetly solemn
hymn:
Peacefully lay her down to rest,
Place the turf kindly on her breast;
Sweet is the slumber beneath the sod,
While the pure soul is resting with God.
Peacefully sleep, peacefully sleep,
Sleep till that morning, Peacefully sleep.

Declaration and Testimony" the Rev Mr..

session, and was admitted to a seat, the Pres

apply in his case. A paper was at the same
time adopted by the Presbytery, expressing
their readiness to obey the authority of the
General Assembly, and grounding their deer
sion solely on what they believed to be the IN
applicability of the AsSembly's order to the
case before them. The whole matter will pro-
badly 90 before the Synod of Baltimore at its
