dead and gone from them, never more to re-
turn, But as she has been a sincere and faith
full follower of the meek and lowly Savior for
many years, she was prepared to depart and
be at rest. Some of her children have just
lately enlisted in the cause of religion, and

are readers of the SPECTATOR and will an
xiously await it's arrival.
