II. Finch, departed this life on Wednesday,.
Jan. eth. 1873, at II ocock, after an ILL
ness OF seven days of the most complica-
ted and exoruciating form ever horne by
mortal being. She bore her suffering all
the time, with the greatest possible for
titnde and christian courage, until she
fell asleep in the arms of her Saviour:
Es Then fare thee we'll
Thou art gone TO the realms of bliss.
From the tolls OF this narrow conhne;
To home so much not ike this,
Thou can ST rest in cline more serene
Faith, hope and charity combined,
In one lovely. devoted heart.
Hath raised ihss from the fkep,s OF time,
To SsvioIr--never to ?
