& case of diatress to remain which it was ilp her power to re move . She del igh ted in consoling' the wretched , and instructing the ignorant . The last time the writer of this had the happiness of seeing her , sheiiad ventured out on a col 4 winter ' s day * to forward the plans of a charity-school . That this superiority of character is to be attributed in a great
measure to her religion , will be readily admitted by those who were acquainted with the firmness of her faith and the ardour of her piety . She indulged none < af fcbat indolence or indifference on religious subjects which is recommended by a celebrated Doctor in his advice to his daughters . She considered it the
highest privilege and the first duty of a rational faeittg , to inquire into th& truth and importance of that system on which depended all h £ T hopes of future happiness I Most of her reading , therefore , and no smalt share of her conversation , vrcre directed to this interesting subject . And her faith was enlightened as it was
firm , and her piety fervent as it was exetnplary . She adored One God as the Father of all ; and she confidently trusted that his wisdom , power and goodness would effect that great object after "which her heart so ardently aspiredthe complete and eternal happiness of crery human creature . Such was her
religion , such were its fruits . As it rendered her life useful , so it rendered her death happy . If " an unspotted life be old age , ' * to that honour she had attained ; and when she was summoned to a better world , not one upbraiding of conscfcffcey not one neglected duty
came to plant a thorn on her dying pillow * She exhibited to her sorrowing attendants the perfect serenity or * a departing Christian ! •* Night dews fall not more gently to the ground , No * weary , worn-out -winds expire so soft . "
