nes,5, filed with painful suffering,
our friend and neighbor, Mrs. Mary
A., wife of Rev. F. A. Trippett; died
on the 14th inst, at II o'clock A. NJ.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. T, Fl. Monroe, assisted by
Rev. W. +. Hill, Pastor Of the Pres
byterian Church Of this place,
Her remains were followed to the
cemetery by q large concourse Of
people, whilst the church bells of our
city, tohed to a mellow softness, chi
med in unison, q sweet farewell to
one who, though comparative
stranger in our midst, had awakened
our tenderest sympathy by her suf-
fering, and by her sweetness of char
acter, had won the hearts Of all who
know her. The spirit Of that frail,
clayey tenement is now with "the re-
deemed on high" but there fingers

Of the life which she led upon earth.
teaching US who survive her. how
to live, that, when life's sad day is
over, our Spirits may be borne by
angel wings on high" "to be ever
with the Lord"
Her suferings were iuteust--she
felt them to be such-and said, ~
have suffered much, but the Lord
knows best; wearlsome nights are ap-
pointed unto me, but as many as He
loves He rebukes and chaste1s:"
Her soul was stayed by chat faith
full saying and worthy Of all accepta-
ton, that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners" Having liv-
ed "by the faith of the son Of God, "
she felt that "He would never leage
nor forsake her." Her heart turned
with tenderness toward those whom
she would leave to linger on this
earth, and she pointed out to those
near her and sent word to the absent
ones, show they should live in order
that the separation might be short
one," she going before to "welcome
them home" AS she thought of "the
morning" she said, "the path of the
just is as the shining light that shi-
meth more and more unto the perfect
day" Thinking of the Valley Of
the Shadow of Death, her soul was
buoyed up with the thought "as the
day soshall thy strength be-" When
weariness weighed upon her, she
said "there will be rest in the morn
ing"
She loved to dwell Upon this
thought, "they that endure to the
end shall be saved" Though the
hand of affection lay heavy upon
her she could say, "the Lord is good,
{ r His glory endureth forevet."
Catching the spirit Of the brighter
world ON the evening before her
death, she expressed a desire to hear
lherfriends sing, Jesus saves me-
saves me now, 81 am trusting Lord
in Thee" "Come unto me when
shadows densely gather, and the sad
heart is heavy and oppressed"
Her life has closed upon earth,
but its Impress for good Is still felt,
even by the seemingly careless, who
feel chat she was "a woman good and
true" her life pointingin all It's lines
to Heaven and to God.
May she, by her death, win for
Christ, those for whose eternal vel
fare, her life would freely have been
given. Our sympathies go out TO-
ward her bereaved family, and our
prayer rises to God, especially for her
husband, and the little one-that if
God Wills it he may enter the ranks
with his father, in winning souls for
Christ. ***
