three O'Clock on Tuesday morning, the
18th, inst, came not unexpected to her
many friends. SIC had been Ill for
about seven months-a victim to con-
sumption-about five of which she was
confined to her bed.
Hers was apparently painless illness
up to within a few days of her death ;
yet in reality her sufferings at times
were intense, but her christian reslgna-
tion gave her courage to bear it all
without a murmur.
In the early part of Spring she seemed
to recover for tlme-her appetite hav'
ing improved considerably-but the
hopes thus vainly raised were blasted
in few days; the terrible destroyer
preying upon the system more firmly
than before.
She was conscious to the end, and a
short time before her Geath, sum-
moned all her children to the side Of
her bed, bidding them good bye, and
counseling them to be prepared to meet
her in glory, when turning to her hus.

cares of this wol Id found no lodgment
within her bosom; she gave up all but

one son and one daughter preceding
her to the eternal world, leaving three
sons and two daughters with the deeply
sorrowing husband to mourn their loss.
She professed a change of heart by
conversion to God in the year 1852,
from which time to her death she lived
the life Of consistent and exemplary
christian. She always filed her place
in Sunday School, prayer-meeting un-
less providentally prevented.
Her standing in the community was
shown by the fact that hundreds came
to see her during her final illness, in
connection with the immense throng
that gathered together to pay her the
last respects on the day of her burial.

"Peace to her ashes."
The following hymn, composed by
one Of the family, was sung at the
grave:
l. Dear mother, now It's well with thee,
AS thou art now from suff'ring free,
And gathered in ChriSt'S church OH nigh,
No more TO Weep-no more to die.
2, Thy sutfring body now is well,
Tho in the tomb 1t long may dwell,
Jesus VIII watch thy slum bering clay,
Raise Ii to life In the last day.
g. IT'S we'll with thee, our mother dear,
Far better than ii could be here.
Through many trials thou hast gone
To dwell In the eternal home.
l. Ills well with thee, thy soul above,
BaSks In the sunshine OF Gods love,
There; Tree from all effects of sin,
IL drinks immortal pleasures in.
5. Adieu! dear mother, now it's well,
WITH all the heavenly hosts to dwell,
We hope At last with thee to meet,
And sit and sing at Jes US feet.
