About four months provious to bor death, sho became slightly indisposed, which caused her friends but littlo uneasiness; but us time advanced, the backing cough and hectio flush upon her cheek told too plainly that Consumption, tbo great enemy of our race, had marked her for a victim. She bore hor afflictions with Christian fortitudo aud resignation, endeavoring to conceal her sulk-rings from hor kind motbor who watched over her with tender solicitude. Death at last put a period to her sufferings, aud by her brother, in tho quiet grave-yard, we laid her lifeless form, to sleep until the resurrection trumpet shall call it forth to bloom with immortality.

The deceased possessed a heart so kind and generous, a disposition so sweet nud amiablo, that uom could help but lovo hor.
