| DIEp-In Charleston, S. c., on the 18th of Jan
uary last, from the effect of a severe burn, Miss
ELIZABETH BROWN, eldest daughter of Sam
uel b. and Amanda Hall, in the 18th year Of he1
age.
This interesting and lovely little girl was ma
tive of York District, S. c., and had spent her en-
tire life in the home of her childhood, until Octo
Der of last year, when her parents removed will
their family to the city of Charleston. The natu
raj endowments of "Lizzies' mind and person
were such as rendered her peculiarly dear to hel
Iacquaintances and friends, and amid herown fam
lily circle, she was regarded almost as 'the ange
OF the household" Her beauty, sprightliness
and uniform and affectionate department endearec
her most to those who knew her best and hel
fond parents, in supplying her literally with the
means ofmental and dpersonalimprovement, look
ed forward with pleased and hopeful anticipation'
to the period when she should occupy her place il
refined society. But He "whose ways are not as
our ways" has seen fit to dsappoint these hopes
and we trust that He who has said, Suffer !ittlt
children to come unto me, has called her to Him
self-has transpanted her from the ungenlal CLINE
of earth to the Paradise of God.
On the End of January last, her clothing caught
fire, and she was terribly burned. She fingered
in much pain and suffering for ten days, when hel
spirit babe adieu to earth and earthly friends She
bore her sutferings with much firmness and pa
tience, repeatedly expressing her gratitude thai
the atfiction had fallen on herself, rather than
younger sister or brother less able to bear task
ing her distressed parents not to grieve for her.
She requested that the Rev. Mr.. Girardeau should
be sent for, and when he visited her, she told him
that she wanted him to talk to her of Heaven, and
to pray with her. He asked her if she thought she
would die, and she said she felt full persuasion
that she could live but short time, or to use her
own impressive words, "Jesus had whispered to
her that she must soon die.' He asked her if she
felt prepared and willing to die, and she replied
so yes! l shall soon be with my sweet Jesus. v
She again called the family to her, and asked them
not to fret her accountant it was the will Of
the Lord, and she was willing to submit cheerful
ly- and that she was going home to her Saviour.
At the close Of her interview with Mr.. Girardeau
he remarked that she was the most interesting
child on her death-bed, he had ever seen.
Truly the ways of Providence are oft-times mys-
terious; but 'He doeth all things we'll" May we
be enabled to say "thy will be DONE" May the
Lord comfort and sustain the bereaved parents
and abundantly sanctify this afflction-and may
many girls and boys learn to love the children's
Saviour, and prepare to dwell with Him in His
home in Heaven. {.
