Matte F. VICAR. wife of Charles VICAR daugh-
ter OF Jimmie. and step-daughter OF James
Piper, aged % years, IL months, and ID days.
For sveral years she was great sufferer from
spinal affection. which terminated in an ulcer
on her side, with a combination of other dis
| eases that battle sd the skill of the best physi-
clans. For the last six months, her sufferings
were Understandable. Though she suffered all
the pains that we mortals are he'll to- she bore
it all with Christian. fortitude. She had a
sweet disposition, meek and gentle as lamb
no uukind word was she heard to utter. Oh!
that sweet patient soul. Job is nothing COM
pared to her. Though the marks of suffering
were often visible on her face, not q murm ur
escaped her lips. Her sufferings are over. She
is released from her prison-house of clay,
Words beggar description Of the Loneliness OF
that home with the light gone out with the life
of her we loved so dearly All looks dark: Oh
fond, doting loving mother and ompaniOn,
cheer up. She left bright evidence that the
children OF God do not go alone, but He will be
with them through the valley OF the shadow OF
death. Over and again, she repeated the 23rd
Psalm-"The Lord is my shepherd" Oh, what
Heavenly visions met her eyes as He led her
to that land of rest! Oh, that death-bed scene
Is indeltbly eEgraven on your hearts. How
| softly and sweetly she threw her puny arm
around her only brothers neck, kissing him
and telling him to be good boy and meet her
in Heaven She leaves broken-hearted moth
er that was always with her, a devoted COM
panion. kind step-father. and sweet little
of her spotless life, and the example of her VIC
| torious death be blessed of God to the salvation
of every member OF the family,
Let me die the death of the righteous aud let
my last end be like hers.
