And Is it wrong that we should weep for such a loss? Can there be any sin in mourning for one whose compassion for the poor had become proverbial? whose naturewas such that it entered wholly into the afflictions of others and forgot individual grievances In solicitations for their weal? Whose; charity . ., was such that. ,tt. .,.

The sickness that had such an un looked for and melancholy : termination, was ' of about three weeks duration; and until' but a few hours before her demise had not assumed any very alarming phase, and even until it was positively ascertained that she was no more, the faith of many Jn her ultimate recovery1 remained unshaken.'

Quietly she passed away and a smile of sweetest expression b'erspread her pale features. The funeral services took, place on Thursday morningVat U o'clock, from the residence of her parents, and a large assembly of relatives and loving friends gathered to attend the last rites over tha remains of this loved one. .The coffin was literally covered iwith beautiful and fragrant flowers, the emblematic tokens of: friends; a rtlstlcally arranged in wreaths, in byuquets, and In festoons, draping the coffin in Spring loveliness.
