The home circle has lost its cherished treasure ;

us, submissively, ito pass under the rod yea.

Near Staunton, on Friday, April 23rd, after
an illness of few days, Mrs. ISABELLA WAD-
DELL, wife of Mr.. Leigh r. Waddell, and daugh-
ter Of the late Robert HILL Esq, Of Buckingham
county. More than seventeen years ago. she
came to this community to complete her educa-
tion and many still here remember her as a
sprightly and beautiful girl. Comparatively few
know what character she developed as the
christian daughter, wife and mother. Fully en-
ployed at home, she could not 60 abroad, or
mingle much in general society. Having been
we'll taught in early life she devoted herself with
wonderful success to the instruction of her chill
dren, as well as to the ordinary domestic duties
This, many in her situation would have thought
enough for them to do; but not so with her
There were those around and near her who were
ignorant and out of the way" and she labored,
earnestly to impart to them that knowledge
which maketh wise unto salvation" She did
what she could. Of cheerful disposition; con-
tented with her lot in life having no sorrows of
her own, but always ready to bear those of 9TH
ers; entertaining no feeling of malice or censo-
but speaking kindly of every one
sincere, frank, intelligent and pious; she was not
only the light and comfort of her family circle,
but beloved by all who knew her. This is not
the place to speak at length of the affliction
caused by her death 1t has pleased God to take
her from mother, husband and six little children,
in the thirty-fourth year of her age, TO higher
and better enjoyynents than this world Affords
The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away
blessed be the name of the Lord"
