SUDDEN-SAD.

Mr.. Samuel Winch, of this city, received
a telegram Saturday from Ashton, Kingman
county, announcing the death of his mother
at her home the night before. The first train
carried him and Mr.. Husey out to the house
of mourning. The death was singular and
touching one. Mrs. Winch, who has been
true Christian mother, had been in her usual
health, and on Friday in particular, bright
and happy. At nightfall, after kneeling at
her bedside and offering up her evening de-
votions, she lay down. Spending time in
pleasant conversation with her husband in
few moments he heard her gasp once or
twice Remarking to her, 'are you asleep
and dreaming already" and receiving no an
swer, he became alarmed and in a moment
discovered that she had ceased to breathe.
For long time they worked with her, not
convinced that she could be dead, but alas,
the soul Of the gentle wife and fond mother
had taken lis everlasting fight from the pure
breast TO which so many heads Of loving
children had been pressed. Frederika
Winch. in the fifty-.wo years of her life, hsd
raised eight children, all but one Of whom
have reached the estate of manhood and wo-
manhood, and all of whom she had gently
nurtured in that warm. unfaltering love
which only tender mother bears. Earth
h"ld- no symbol Of that changeless fame,
but the shadow of deaths chill wing fell
across her earthly path, her work was fin
i-hed ana in that last prayer in the
quiet peace Of an expiring zephyr her pure
spirit was released for its heavenly fight.
That her children loved. slmos. worshiped,
their now ssii3t.-.i mother We have evidence
sufficient, bot there Is left TO them only the
tender mc.nor. of life and face which
shall grow brighter and fresher until at tho
end Of long and weary wears they maynap
hesr again tha, voice which was the assur-
ance Of their childhoods' innocent hours
calling to them from su unseen world =
welcome home.
''Ssd, death-clo,ed eyes, which on have told
Affection, pure rs heart can hold.
Which still have smiled whom destS seemed
dreer.
Aud given dispsir fresh heart OF cheer.
To-nigh ws miss each loving glance
Which bid defiance TO mischance,
And. missing. still we doubly know
To thee hsli death nsw gIories show,
And joys raveai.'
