^ er and anxious j » otfaer , a kind and sincer e friend , ieto ^ could equal her ; and , tv 2 * $ n iu tolerable heakh , she was never happier than in bekig- etpployed in useful and benevolent worjss . At the head of an affectionate and united family , her life might , perhaps , have afforded her as as is
ia $ ck eu ^ iy uien t usually met with ia tiiis transient aad chequered state , had it riot pleaded the Divhie Providence to visit her with personal affliction . During the la $ t llfoefen years * of Her life , her health ! h $ d bt * e $ extremely delicate , but more particularly so for the six years previous t <* her ^ iecease ; within which pcnod her complaints were frequently
attended with tl * e n ^ ost excruciating pains . Yet in the midat q % her sufferings , her daily and hoiwijr prayer was , not so much to be released fi ^ p " i (|| em , as to be endued with strength patiently to bear that which her Heavenly Father allotted her . She was thus passing away the evening of life in- the practice of piety , when it pleased God to deprive her of her beloved partner .

The near approach of the destroyer was attended with no terrors , no painful suspense , no , excruciating pains , for she retired to rest in the evening at her usual hour , amidst the blessings of her children , to awake , in the morning , iu the world of spirits , and to join the
innumerable company of those , who , having come " out of great affliction , ' % " will Jwuiger 110 more , nor will they thirst auy- more ; nor will the sun strike on them , or any heat * For the Lamb t , hat is toward the inid $ t , of the throne w $ L be their . shepherd , and w | U lead them to fountains of waters of life : and God will wipe away all tears fronfL ibfir eyes .
