and while her graceful and cultivated mind was
yielding its richest fruits. 99e- 4 -ss.
She endured painful illness with singular for
titude, and awaited the conscious approach of
death with the fearless calmness of christian res
ignation. She sweetly spoke of her departure
as 'going home" and truly she has gone from
the Affections of life to brighter, happier home,
where separations are unknown, and sorrow en-
tereth not. sSrR z
