DEATHS HARVEST.
Mrs. r. p. Morris and Mark A. Pitt
Called Home.

Called Home.
Mrs. Sarah Isaac Morris, the wife
of Councilman Richard P Morris, died
at her home yesterday at 9:1O a. m, of
pneumonia.
The deceased was the daughter of
Benjamin and Phoebe Isaac, and
was born in Landowner. Wales,
on April Z, 1854 She leaves
behind to mourn her loss a vast
acquaintance, a husband and four
children aged IA, 9, and 4 years re-
spectively.
The funeral will be held from the
residence, No 2O5 North Seventh West
street, tomorrow at 3 o'clock. Her
friends are invited to attend.
The death of this woman creates a
vacancy which will never be filed in
the hearts of those who loved her. She
was one whom to know was to rever-
ence. AS a mother she was a treasure
to her children; to her husband she
was a priceless jewel; to her friends a
being of kindness. There are many
sad hearts in the neighborhood where
she lived, on this bright morning. To
them the sunshine is unperceived; the
clear blue sky wears a sombre hue:
gone, never to return. 1t will be a
long time ere the flowers are as frag-
rant as they once were; ere the songs
of the birds have the same melody
they had when with her they sat and
listened.
To the poor she was a friend in need.
and many an INDECENT one will miss
her charity, for to her the poor were
always with US. Over the last resting
Of he &c Col
tear.
Endowed by her creator with a
beauty Of countenance which few of
her sisters possessed, she was gifted
with disposition which made her
seem even more beautiful than she
really was. 1t seems bitter, indeed,
that one so lovely, both in mind and
person, should be taken away, just as
the noontine of life with all it's at
tendant joys had arrived; but such is
the stern decree of fate.
The deathbed scene was one of those
grand ones seldom witnessed, but
once seen, never forgotten. On SatuE-
day last she was informed by the at
tending physicians that she could not
survive. With that fortitude which
comes with the satisfaction that the
future is we'll, she called her family
and friends together yesterday and
u
messages to absent ones and words of
cheer to those who were present, she
endeavored to stay the tears Of those
who stood at the couch Of death. Then
when the last word had been spoken
she passed into the sleep from which
all hope to awaken in a land where
separation is unknown.
There is a Buddhist ceremony which
Is used at the conservation Of a babe
which reads: Little one, thou contest
into the world weeping, while all
thou shall pass away thou shalt smile
while all around thee weep"
And so has this lady lived; so she
died. It is a sad event for all who
loved and respected her, but there is
consolation yet remaining-some day
all will be well.
