the people OF the North and was scarcely
less beloved by them. She was not the
woman OF any section, but the fairest
type Of American womanhood, Of brilliant
intellect, Of lovely disposition OF charm
ing personality. No higher tribute could
be paid to her than that OF her distin-
gulshed father who said Of her on his
death bed that she had given him only

last semblance OF sectionalism pass away;
she lived to sec her country reunited. she
lived 20 see the smiles of the North and
to receive tokens OF friendship from
those who were once accounted her
fathers enemies, and now that the strug-
gle is over her gentle and purified spirit
passes away 10 the land Of rest, ito the
waveless calm Of perfect peace"
