DIED.-At Manitowoc, Wis, Nov. 23d
1874, of consul mption, Mrs ELIZA JANE
TUFTS, aged "a years, wife of Nicolas
Vader.
The deceased spent the greater part Of
her life in this county, and was well
known to many. Those who knew her
most Intimately, were most deeply i'm
pressed with her worth. AS wife she
was devoted; as mother, tenderly Of
fectionate; as a friend, sincere as an
almoner to the poor, sympathetic aud
liberal IN all the relations of life, COZ
scientious in the discharge of her duties
To such a one, it is often very hard to
sever the ties Of life and to her it was
especially hard to leave her family. But
for some years the symptoms of her final
disease had been multiplying and three
years since-fve years since-she had
prayed that she might be spared thus
long; and her prayer was granted. La
April 1872, she united with the 1st Pres
byterian Church of Manitowoc, and then
first signalized her solemn vows, her
conservation to the service of her Lord
To her pastor it seems probable, that
for years before, she had been of Christ's
"Hidden Ones, and had spent years as
restless bond-maid, whereas she should
have found a warm place in the arms of
Infinite Love, as a child. During her
distressing sickness, she seemed to Sc
cure richly the supports Of Divine grace.
s'What could I now do" she would often
say, eff it were not for my christian life?"
And when the last physical agony came,
too painful to witness, it was a solace
indeed, to hear, from lips soon dumb in
death, ejaculatory prayers to the anoint
ed to hasten her release, and to feel as
sured from all her christian testimony,
from first to last, that for her to die, WAS
to fall asleep in Jesus. Com.
