MISS MATTE DABNEY.

A sadder scene has seldom been witnessed than
was presented in the Augusta Female Seminary, at
Staunton, Va. a few weeks since, when from its
large circle of happy, blooming youth, One-the IA
vorite and pride of the household-was stricken by
the hand Of death The solemn stiffness and falling
tears indicated how deeply every heart touched
Most unexpectedly had the despoier come! Never
before had pupil been attacked by serious sick
ness, and that death should ever claim victim from
that healthful band, seemed very improbable? She
who was taken, however, had needed the injunction
Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think
not, the Son of man cometh. Her lamp was
trimmed and burning, and she was ready to enter
into the presence of her Lord
MISS MATTE DADNEY, of Atlanta, Ca, entered
the Seminary, as pupil, in the fall of 1868. Her
conduct was characterized by thoughtfulness and
conscientiousness rarely found in one OF her age.
Dstrustful of SELF timid to an unusual degree, it re-
CURED intimate acquaintance to discover the supe
rior qualities of her mind and heart Very pleasant
was it to her teachers and companions as her re-
serve wore off, TO find what deep, pure feeling and
fine capacity she really possessed She entered upon
her studies with much enthusiasm, and promised to
excel in every thing she undertook Her talent for
music was Of high order, and the improvement she
made was a matter Of astonishment and delight to
a household united by sympathy and love. The
studies however, In which she manifested most
pleasure, were Moral Science and Bibleclass exer-
cises. The heart of her teacher was cheered and
encouraged by the look of intelligent interest she
ever manifested during recitation. Her religious
feelings seemed to deepen under these instructions,
and any direct appeal touched her at once. A few
DAYS before her illness her Sunday School teacher
encouraged by the interest she had always manifest
ed, sought an interview with her for conversation or

personal religion: she expressed deep and over
whelming sense of her snfulness in the sight OF
holy God, bat at the same time, firm trust IN
Christ as her Saviour. She said, But for my great
unworthiness, would be glad to take my seat with
Gods people at His table on the coming Sabbath.
The duty of making an immediate profession OF rel,
gion was not urged upon her; but she was advised
to consider the subject prayerfully until the next
evening. The next morning she went to her teach'
er and said 81 hare considered the subject, and
feel that l ought not that [ can not postpone the
matter any longer, and unworthy as | am, | Will
unite with Gods people at this time" Little did
we suppose that it would be the last act of her young
life! How greatly would it have added to the So
lemnity of the scene, could we have known it !
Several of her companions were by her side, also
for the first time protesting faith in Christ before
the great congregation. There had been no excite,
ment, and only the gentle influence of the Spirit OF
God touching here and there one and another. She
returned to her room after the services were over,
complaining of not feeling WE'LL and never rose from
her bed again. As We learned afterwards, she had
not been entirely well for several days, but would
not speak of for fear she might not be allowed to
attend the services preparatory to the communion.
her health, up to that time, had been better than
she had ever before enjoyed and although possess
ing little constitutional strength, nothing serious
was apprehended when she was first taken. Her
symptoms becoming alarming, however, her friends
were notified by telegraph, and came on Immediate
ly, from their distant home. From an early period
in her sickness, her mind affected by disease,
she was capable of little connected conversation,
and even the arrival of her mother and brother did
not arouse her as we anticipated. Her strength had
been exhausted in her last public act and she lay
quiet as little child, suffering scarcely any bodily
pain, and entirely free from mental anxiety. When
asked, care you afraid to die, she said in tone
of surprise, "Oh, mol not at ALL An affection of
the heart, from which she had suffered from child
hood, was the immediate cause of her death but
more painless end was never witnessed. She gently
breathed her life away, and awoke in heaven, with
out the sSGSGSgSSsss Of having passed .throqgh the
- est death. Thus depart
- esF 8 her age, one who is is now,
of the redeemed The grief of her home circle none
describe; but God is comforting them as he alone
can. Amongst her school companions vacancy
has been made which cannot be filled; and the tears
of many here continue to testify to their appreciation
OF her lovely gifts and graces.
Kind, sympathizing friends in this community
mingle their tears with ours and this first and only
death among the pupils of the A. f. Seminary will
long be remembered with sad interest. M.
Stanton, April 18th, 1869.

In the annual report, it is stated that twelve or
dained and fourteen assistant missionaries have
been sent out during the last year. Two have
died Rev. j. III. OrbisOn Of India, and Rev. Ed
ward Beeklen OF Liberia.
The receipts Of the Board from all sources have
been $685., 49S, and the expenditures, with the
debt Of last year, have been SS43, 79S, leaving a
balance against the treasury of $500.
The year has been one of marked progress in
addition to the mission churches, in educational
efforts, in the preparation Of a native ministry,
and in the increase of abOrers native and foreign.
Never was the work in all Its details in such a
healthy condition, and what is needed is thorough
appreciation by the Church Of her duty and her
relation TO it. The debt Of the preceding year has
been reduced, and the expenses of the current
year met BY the help of large legacy. But for
this, the debt would have been $4,000,
