TuEnE is no custom moro beautiful and sacred,
than the one of paying juat tribute to the NOM:
ory of the dead. The custom is stime-honorsd and
-sacred, as it touches the most delicate
sensiblties of our nature; beautiful, as it is on
effort to emban ths poble virtues of the deceased
useful as it serves to remind the living Of the uu
ccrtuinty of life, and should stimulate them to

DEPARTED this life, ct thSresideuce other IA
ther, in Edgefcld District, on the 10th April lSe6,
ELEANOR SEG0, daughter of Mr.. E. w. SEGo,
in the Goth year of her age.
Scarcely two montbs have elapsed since God
called to her eternal rost AMI SEoo; now be calls
ELEANOR. The two sisters will never more be
parted! a.
But their aged parents are left here below,
mourning beneath great burden of agony. May
they be enabled to say, with. humble hearts, nnd
eyes strained upward to the high Elysian hills
whittier their children are gone, F" Il is the Lord
lot Him do what seemcth Hin good" May they
boseech Him, in lowy and trusting faith, 10 make
whom He has already taken to Himself. May
they pray that His love may be a lamp to guide
theirfeet as they go darkling through this long
pilgrimage. And may the Good Shepherd, i'll
tender love, and in His own appointed time, lead
them into the everlasting mansions" Then,
with Heaven, and their treasures that have gone
before, this troubled dream of life will seem "but
watch in the night"-"a u tale that is told"
The announcement of the death of ELEANOR
SEGo will be read with deep regret by tho many
friends to whom shc was endcared by all tho viz
tues that make the female character lovely and
and attractive
Tho holy, alial care Is missed at the homo
hearthstone; but sho has gone to receive the re-
ward OF faithful daughter and true Christian.
Her deeds of love will cluster around her memory,
aud shed a lustre upon her character that will
shine forever bright in the hearts Of oil who were
the recipients, or witnesses, of her tender care
and sef-sacrifcing affection.
A FRIEND.
