WeFATely, nowadays, make q record
oideath, however much We admired lhe
character estlnateitle worth, Of loved
theyittues oftlioss whose loss We most
sincerely inourned. And We come moi
now, in paying this list SID ttibu.e 70
the memory d departed worth, to in.
dnlge in tulsou,e eulogy I've propose
only to make such record as the subject
bfthe notice justly merits.
Born in our midst, reared, trained and
tahtated by kind, loving and devoted
parents, endowed with native intellec-
tuality, gentle, modest, unassuming,
lelicately refined, amiable in character
and literally educated, she bore her
long salierihts patiently and uncom-
plainingly, and Ss teel that we can say
Of her truthfully that size was the true
type Of a correct upright Christian wo.
man, cut down in The full maturity Of
womanbood.
When weseethelittie darlingtAAtched
from its mothers breast, before It had
known the Joys and sorrows, the pleas.
ures and pains Of life, before Il had
learned 10 love andBe loved with the
fond devotion Of youth, or before ithad
formed those attachments and alliances
otmaiarer years; o. when we see the
old worn out bysage, sink gently aud
setshsls down to rest, feeling that they
had lived out their allotted span, that
they had performed their part and fin
ished their work upon the great theatre
oflife, that they had outliyed the Joys
and pleasures Of this earthly tabernacle
we can, with some degree Of consolation
and resignation say, "lIy God, Thy
Will he dUne,'H there Is a "balnl in
Gileadp for those who mourn, there is a
surceasc Of sorrow for the afflicted, but
when We see a young woman, in the
pride and prime Of life, in the full frui-
ton Of life's greatest and purest pleas
ures, enshrined in the hearts Of a de-
voted father, a fond mother, tender and
loving sisters, the object Of sincere aifec-
ton 81 a latge uirle Of relatives; connec.
tons and friends, and when we realize
how impotent the skill Of physicians,
the tender and devoted attention and
nursing Of the loved and loving ones Of
Iiome, are to dizzy the fatal arrow or
throttle the grim monster, but looking
on, see him lay hlscold icy hand on such
an one as the subject Of this netice, in
our hearts we can but exclaim, in the
Sgonized language Of our Saviour III IT
be possible, lSt this cup pass from my
lips"
