over the minds and hearts of others; or
won so rapidly, or so permanently, upon
their good opinion. It was impossible to ; pC|
be with her without the consciousness of a j
superior presence; nor to turn i
an hour of social intercourse without a con-
sciousness of purer and nobler impulses;
The eharrn-of superior grace and intidli-
genee appeared to characterize every action
and utterance of h^r life. During her girl-
hood she had been eminently a child of sor-
row. Surrounded by circumstances of
misfortune and embarrassment such as
would have crushed an ordinary spirit;
hers had been wounded but not subdued.—
Proud, sensitive, innoceint, pure, noble, and
aspiring, she pursued steadily a high aim,
and arose superior to the embarrassments
of her situation. As the tempest enures
and invigorates the oak, so does the blast
of misfortune bring forth, develope and in-
vigorate the noblest qualities of the human
soul.’ It is doubtless in part to the causes1

ble-minded woman. Possessed of great
congeniality of sentiment and feeling; few generally; to call and-examine for them-
marriages have proved more Tortunate in
the mutual happiness they conferred.
,. It is needless to say that she is mourned
by numerous friends and relatives. But
they that mourn, mourn not without hope.
Previous to her sickness she had made no
• open profession of religion, but her • mind
had a pious cast, and she often indulged in
pious meditations, and, in her last moments,
•he expressed her trust in the Savior Jesus
Christ. It is epnsoling to believe that the
te loved and lost here may be regained and
r be reunited with us in the Land where
there is no death, and where the heart is
nevez. wrung with the agony of separation.
But she is gone forever. In the morning
' of her youth, and the bloom and pride of
her womanhood—in th6 midst of hope and
hap pi nets, | and the prospect of bright and
lengthened’ days, she is “cut off,” Like a
bright and beautiful vision (hath she passed Oct. 27, 1853. 5

to feel that a great evil hath befallen us.—
A great and noble spirit hath ceased to
dwell on earth and departed for a higher
sphere. There is a vacant seat at the do-
mestic hearth ; a desolate household ; hopes
annihilated ; hearts wrung with the agony
of bereavement. The golden bowl is bro-
ken at the fountain. Long will her mem-
ory be cherishedT.y those who knew and.

years, Hearing B. A. Fahnestock’s Ver-
mifuge recommended very highly for ex-
. pelling worms, j was induced to try it. I
Brandy^old Bourbon Whiskey^Eagle took four vials of it, and to my great aston-
ishment, I passed about forty feet of tape-
worm. I feel quite relieved of the distress
in my stomach and head. In fact, I feel
like a new man since the reptile 1< ft mv
stomach. I can recommend the Vermi-
fuge as-a highly valuable medicine for ex-
pelling Mjorms. It is very mild in its op-
eration, and perfectly safe and harmless.
