Glow were attended at her home, on
Tuesday, April IL, and called out a
large circle of mourning relatives and
friends. Truly can it be said in her
case, death loves shining mark" and
transplanted loved daughter and sister
to the immortal spheres. Mary inherit
ed delicate constitution, and only the
care and attention of loving parents had
helped her through several critical at
tacks of disease before the one that prov
ed fatal. In her last sickness, every
thing that mortal hands could do was
done to prolong her life; but consump-
ton had taken firm hold and destroyed
the life forces of the body, and let the
weary spirit free. Her sufferings wore
intense in the last days of her sickness,
but as she nearOd the spirit world, she
caught sight of the loved ones on the
Golden Shore" and became perfectly
resigned to her Heavenly Fathers will.
She requested the anxious circle who
surrounded her bedside, to so live as to
meet her in the heavenly home. Her
example was worthy of imitation. She
loved friends with strongest affection,
and spent her life in ministering to then
comforts. Her life and thoughts were
pure, and charity was a characteristic Of
her nature. Rev. A. Webb, in his ap-
propriate remarks, spoke very encourag
ingly of the prospect of meeting the be
loved one in the spirit land, and invited
all to accept that Saviour who had beef
the hope and consolation of the departed
during her brief sojourn on earth.
