Mrs. Mollie Smith wife of ". W. Smith of
of New Providence, and daughter of Henry
and Elizabeth Leigh, after a protracted and
painful illness in the 44th year of her age,
died at her home on the Goth ult.
The earthly career of Mollie Smith, was
exalted and beautiful, by the constant exer-
else of those womanly and christian vir-
tues, that tend so eftectuaIly to make home
bright and happy, and in the critical hour
of death insures a blissful passport to the
haven of rest. Beloved by all who knew
her for her many virtues and nobleness Of
heart, that she never suffered to be tarnished,
by selfish follies. Prosperity and misfortune
alike were borne with the same spirit; with
out ostentation in the former, and christian
submission and loving kindness to all
around her in the latter. Mollie was ever
meek, loving and submissive to her hus-
band, who doated on her as a faultless jewel
fall set with charms. She leaves six loving
children, who ever We'd with each other in
the anticipation and performance of all the
tender duties of tilial love. AS neighbor
she was unsurpassed for kindness and gen.
erosity, which noble traits were so faithfully
reciprocated, in her last illness, by the good
women of New Providence, whose hearts
abound with such christian virtue. Though
afflicted for many years, Mollie's constant
exercise. of christian patience, connected
with the asSidious attentions and never
ceasing love and sympathy of her devoted
husband, children and friends, contributed
largely to ease her bed of pain. She pro-
fessed religion many years ago, Joined the
Cumberland Presbyterian church, of which
sne was a member at the time of her death,
attesting In that trying hour the truth OF
christianity.
Although dear Mollie has passed the val
ley of death and is now

lie,
Yet, that which warmed 1t once, will
