the beautiful and pure Of EARTH as she is remem.
bered twenty-five years ago, when residing here,
and then just blossomng into womanhood She
was the oldest child Of Charles w. Prentiss, ESD,
and granddaughter Of the late Hon Samuel
Prentiss "The eldest born Is gone. Her Chris
tian hope and faith when she had passed the
boundary line became the more evident realities
OF seeing and knowing. She was gentle and af-
fectionate while she was with u.s. tender and SEN
sitive but showed great firmness at times. Her
literary and other tastes were for the pure and
good sadness as II looking for better land
coored her life to some degree, and the air OF the
spirit wounded without visible cause was some
times apparent. She loved to linger around the
circle charmed by her mothers nearness or pres
ence. Had she survived her mother how often
would she have said with Cowper Oh, that
those lips had language, and her mother will re-
member her until memory ceases and becomes
immortal sight and love in the heavenly home
Death dealt gently with her, and she greeted him

over. The new year has become to her year
without end, with no recurring point in the
heavenly orbit In which she moves She is near
the loving heart Of her Saviour the protecting
power of her Heavenly Father, and the influence
OF the Holy Spirit Her nephew, the little bud
for whom the airs Of earth were too rough now
blossoming and to grow into fruit in heaven her
fathers mother, who these many years has
watched from her home above over her children
and grandchildren; her husband ever faithful and
true, and other loving and loved friends gone be-
fore, are her society. Shall we wish her back t.
the trial and suffering she has left ? Let H.
rather have glad hearts and be ready when the
hour comes to shake hands with death and
smile that we are Free knowing that the sum
mons is full Of dread only to those who are
not prepared to say from the heart, None but
Christ" =.
