consumption finished its insidious work
upon her, and carried her away from the
arms of a sorely bereaved husband and
host of friends, who mourn her early death.

and connected herself with the church.
Her after life was one of decided plely, in
careful harmony with her christian pro-
fession. Her voice was singularly sweet
and powerful. She delighted TO use it in
the songs of the sanctuary, as well as in
the social circles of her friends. Those
who have heard it will never forget the
soul full richness of its tones, nor the unc-
ton with which she rendered sacred music
and poetry. Her death illustrated her
character. 10 resisting disease she showed
the energy and determination that marked
her life. In patience, concealment of suf-
fering, cheerfulness AID hope, she strove
to save her friends from pain anG appre-
hension. But when the hour Of trial came,
she was ready. Her farewel!s 10 h, dear
ones were as calm as if the were about to
take pleasant journey. Her dying words
were, Jesus take me" ard Il am so glad
Lord shall come. NJ.
