THE mystery of the sad providence which
removes a young wife and mother, not only
from devoted husband and loving friends,
but from a helpless babe, is always occasion
for mournful wonder Such removal is that
of Mrs. Augustus Torrey, the announcement
of whose death will bring sorrow to many
hearts While in the University and after
wards as assistant librarian of the Fletcher
Library, Mrs Torrey-then Miss Lettie
Durant-made many acquaintance among
our readers, all of whom were made her
friends by her bright smile and pleasant
ways. In the circle of nearer friends in
which her sweet presence was always as
cheerful as a sunbeam, she will be sadly
missed; and to those who suffer the sunder-
ing of still dearer ties, all will give deep
sympathy in their sorrow. Mrs. Torrey was
married year and two days ago. She
