L0NGNECKER.-At her residence in Towson
town, on Monday night, November 25th, Mt 0 20
o'clock, after an illness of two weeks. Ida Pal
mer Martin, wife of II. c. Longnecker, one of
the editors and proprietOrs of the BALTIMORE
COUNTY UNION, and only child of J. Lloyd Mar
tin, NJ. D., of Baltimore, aged 90 years, 10 months
and days. Her remains were inferred mt
Greenmount Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon
am sad-truly sad at heart and sorrowful in
write or how to compose and concentrate my
thoughts. Only few hours ago learned for the
first time that Mrs. Ida Palmer, beloved wife of
Mr.. H. c. Longnecker, my special friend, one of
the editors and publishers of the BALTIMORE CoUN-
TY UNION, had passed from earth, in her compar-
alive youth, buOyaucy of hope and young mother
hood, to another and brighter world. 1t had
been my pleasure to enjoy her acquaintance and
49, srthe secieI friendships Of hersoif, her
husband and their generous household. Only
few brief years ago it was my qualification and
delight to behold her, happy, hopeful bride,
standing at the sacred altar there united in holy
wedlock to her now bereaved husband. All was
sunshine, and it seemed as though long vista of
pleasure, full of joyous anticipations had opened
to cheer onward in life's pathway the happy bride
and groom. There was, 1 believed, for them a
golden career of interrupted love and JOY. 1t may
indeed have been too bright to last. Those whom
the gods love die young. Sometimes their path
way is so strewn with roseate flowers, that, envi-
Gus of such enjOyments upon earth, they are called
to brighter more fitting spheres. &c. perchance,
may it have been in this instance. We cannot but
feel sad when informed that death has invaded so
joyous home, thus severing those ties which
bound in unison two loving hearts whose beatings
were yet in the vernal spring time of matrimonial
existence. In our saddest hour and most painful
bereavements there are CLEANS of consolation. 1t
spleasurable for those who lived happily together
though only for few brief years, to look back
and realize frutions of joy and hope they break
upon us and drink in unalloyed delight in calling
up halcyOn hours and sweet memories that they
may bid cheer to the present and future. Whilst
my young friend is bending in deep affection
mourning so sad and irreparable loss still there
are consultations left him blending the likeness and
ties of her whom he mourns with those yet left to
engage his parental affections and call back holy
recollections of their good mother passed to her
celestial abode of endless happiness. 1 must be
excused for thus giving expression to feelings on
so tender subject, but l feel really as if near
and dear relative had passed away to be seen no
more whilst passing through life's dreary pilgrim
age. My sncerest coincidence rests with all who
survive, nearly and dearly united in kindred ties
of love and friendship.1 NEsToR

SMILEY.--In memory of dear little Music, who
died Nov. 80, II, in her fifth year.
One year without thee,
We had thought our anguished heart would break
and die
Ere time had since acquescenee brought
Or soothed the tears it could not dry
And though it was the Fathers will
To take the treasure he had given,
The sweet consoling thought remains
That thou hast been one year in Heaven - =
