Thus hath passed from time to eternity In
the morning OF q Joyous and happy life one
Of the very ,0veliest characters IL was ever
the pleasure and good fortune OF the writer
10 know. lie had known her Intimately
from her infancy, and can with entire truth
saw that In all the gradatiOns from the
cradle 10 womanhood she was gentle, kind.
considerable, and sfiectionate. and ever ex
hibited that beautiful thoughtfulness OF
others and utter abnegatiOn OF self which
so endeared her TO all with whom she WAS
bought In contact. and won for her warm
place in their affections. In person she was
as lovely as In character. II would have
been difficult for the most captious critic to
have pointed out any defect either IN figure
or In feature. She left surviving her an in
FAINT son only about thirty hours old.
Though everything had been done that the
best medical skill could suggest to save her
yet II was apparent 10 those az her bedside
on the evening before that Death had SCI
his seal upon her, and
"Tbe suffering ended with the day.
Yet lived she at It's close;
And bieathed the long, long night away
In statue-like repOse.
Put when the Sun I'm all his state
Hlumed the eastern skies,
She passed through GlJry's morning gaze,
And walked In PaIadlse.'
She leaves devoted husband. mother,
brothers sister. and "A large circle of rela-
tives and friends. who are crushed by the
sudden and overwhelming aiillctlon. May
God. who "tempereth the wind 10 the shOrD
lamb" in His infinite goodness and mercy
give them strength and grace TO besr the
heavy load of sorrow with which he In His
insclutable providence has seen tit TO aiilict
them. Il.
