on Sunday morning at the usual hour.
Mrs. M. com planned Of having been
cold during the night /, and had heavy
chill early In the morning; nothing
serious, however, was expected until
Sunday evening, when DIR. Draper was
summoned and informed the family that
she was dying. At 2 p. N, her littl .
daughter, while standing by her bed

|countenance and inquired IL she were
not dying. The answer was "No."
The alarmed children tben exclaimed: /:
10 yes, mamma, you're dyinRr' to
which she replied, mo, I am not
dying" She appeared to be totally un.
conscious OF her dying condition. She
was conscious until twenty minutes
previous to her death, which resulted
from blood poison.
Her maiden name was Nethery and

where she taught school for q few years
in both New Garden and Pocopson
townships, and then secured position

most efficient and energetic teachers.
She leaves devoted husband and three

Thou art gone and LEFT thy happy home, and
vacancy is there,
The partner Of thy life is left his lead of grief
10 bear;
Hts star Of hope has asd, the holy tie is
The bird has flown and left its mate to wing
its flight TO Heaven.
Thirteen years had not elapsed since the
bridal vew was spoken,
oh, whs could have thought the holy tie 80
soon could have been broken;
Dsath was present ct the nuptial, and
marked the happy bride.
And her husband now is left without star
toguide him. HER HUSBAND.
Mamma, thou art gone; thy name shall
live in our hearts though the grave has
forever hidden thee from our view.
Sad We give the TO the number,
Laid In yonder darksOme halls;
But above thy peaceful slumbsF,
Many shower Of sorrow falls.
The hopaeseircle, which vas re.lsred
joyous by her presence, is now broken /;
. bright star has passed away and left q
vacancy that cannot be filled. Tue
deep and piercing sorrow that rests upon
the remainder of our band shows that
death WAS q melancholy visitor. In
deed, he 10 always such, but when he
enters and claims as his victim she who
so lately stood before us In health and
happiness. the most obdur one must
be affected and the stoutest heart be ap.
palled.
M ANNA, can IL be that you are sleeping,
In deaths cold embrace to-day;
Can IT be the angels called aer,
Called our mamma dear away.
Must We always live without her,
All those coming, weary years3
Life's bright days will lose their sunshine,
Without mammals words to cneer.
HER CHILDREN.
Sister when last we parted, how little
That thou should'ss reach thy spirit land
ere We two met again;
As eheerfaliy listened to thy words Of kind
flrewell,
How little dreamed the nexs found should
be thy funeral knell.
For tho sake OF days my sister, by.g gone days
Two passed with thee,
For the sake of scenery, where We communed
when sumner robed her trees
In many past moments to thought and feel
Ing dear,
l drep u Son thy blessed grave the tribute OF
my tear.
But we'll meet again, my sister, when time
has passed away,
And meet, We trust, 70 part no more In ever
lasting day;
There Col shall give his blessing, when
Rrace's work is done,
And make us more than eonqusrers through
Jesus Christ his Son.
A tribute OF remembrance from her
SISTER AND MECH.
