On Tuesday the 23 th May , at Bei * edere Hqufce , Bath , aged 12 years and , 9 months , Frances , youngest daughter of Mr . Thomas FisHEft , of JDorcbestcr , a child in -vvhosf ingenuous mind the opening bucteof
ev « ry virtue had promised an abundant source of comfort and enjoyment to her affectionate parents and friends . 'She was for the first time absent from the paternal roof , and had been under the tuition of Mrs . Broadhurst onlv two months , when ,
apparently in good health , she experienced an attack of epilepsy , which soon terminated her happy life : two days . after the first seizure , unconscious of the presence of her affectionate relatives who surrounded trie dying pillow , her pure spirit bade an eternal adicH to the sorrows of mortality , and returned to God who ffave it . Her afflicted
parents do not—cannot murmur that this choice blessing is withdrawn from them ; it i * the will of heaven , and they desire calmly to resign her-to her Ood . It is not wished ostentatiously to eulogise the memorv of so ' vouri * a person , by
describing the attractions » f a peculiarly amiable disposition , engaging manners , and a swvet susceptibility to all that was endearing , virtuous and good , but the recollection of these interesting characteristics is highly consolatory to her parents . Over siich a tomb Mature and affection are
allowed to weep ' , and longer would they weep , but , thanks to the infinite goodness- of our gracious ' God ! the s « n of righteousness arises to dissipate the sepulchral gloom , and the exulting hope of immortality leads parents , children and friends to anticipate the glorious nioriling" of that eternal day which will reunite them iu the regions of permanent and purer lov « . it
^ An arfdi tiotiul consolation ^ o « M afford them , if this instance of sudden removal from the boaom . of earthly affection , should induce any young persons so to regulate their tempers arid habits , so to cultivate
a fitness * for tlie future state , as to ensure thVir surviving relatives the delightful hope of ^ witnessing and ' enjoying their progressive improvement and perfection in another and a bett * T world , which is to them the greatest possible source of comfort .
