Mrs. Charlotte Mostoller died the Gil
inst, aged - years, months and Il DAYS
Her life affords but little scope far narra
tive, passing on in smooth, equable tenor
through obscurity to the closing scene II
did, however, illustrate the great truth
that all can do good-ihat every one can,
at least, set q good example. Her piety
was deep and apdent. As it was the spring
OF her actions, its reward was the object
Of al her hopes. 0ften under clound
and strange trials she still endeavored to
be useful. In her sudden and unexpected
death a large family has lost devoted
mother; the christian community a good
member. As tenderness was one of the
principal qualities of her heart, so faithful
ness was one Of the brightest virtues of
her life. She was faithful in all the rela-
tons Of life, faithful as a wife, a mother, a
neighbor, n friend and a Christian She
being dead yet speaketh.
Sweet is the thought, the promise sweet
That friends. long serer'd friends, shaii meet:
That kindred soais- esrth disloind-
Shall meet from earthly dross refn'd.
Their mortal eares and scrruws o'er,
And mingle hearts to pari no more
