Just before her marriage, a sweet
seriousness and gentle dignity seemed
to take the place of her girlish

the solemnity and responsibility Of the

know the place of wife and mother was
filled by her as perfectly as she had
hitherto filled all other relations Of
life.
She met death without a fear, and
with perfect trust in her Redeemed.
