day Of December, 1874, atiWildwoOd, Bolivar

wife Of Oscar Mcclure, and daughter Of Col.
X. e. Hume.
1t has often been said that Death loves a
shining mark" yet never more appropriately
than in the present melancholy instance. The
deceased was a lady eminent for every gra-
cious quality given to woman to charm soci-
ETY. and to make the happiness Of the home
circle. Young, lovely, modest and beloved.
None knew her but to love her:
None named her but TO praise"
To her father she was, for some years, a
companion and q counsellor as we'll as an OBJ
ject Of pride and hope. taking the place OF
her departed mother in the household, and
filling this position with a grace and dignity
far beyond her years. And when, one short
year ago. she was united in marriage to the
object Of her choice. she became to him all Of
which her previous life had given promise.
Taken by the dispensstion Of God. in the
happy spring-time Of her life, it is such a com.
fort 10 the bereaved mourners, that, even as we
believe that in her life on earth, she walked
with God" 30. now, "aod took her" and all
Ia well. To her young. mourning husband
and sisters. TO her bsreayed and stricken
father. the hearts Of many friends turn with
deep and heartfelt sympathy, They feel that
her death makes a painful void in the social
circle, but they we'll know that in the hearts
Of those to whom she was 50 dear by syery
tie Of nature and affection, there is a sorrow
beyond the reach Of human aid or sympathy.
May God comfort them and sanctify TO them
this deep affection J.E.B.
