OBITUARY. dwmtid this Ufa, in Greenville, 8. c., on Uw rains of Saturday, May 26, Mil. Mait KuiAimLmii, wife of William V. Lister, eeq., of the place juat named, and eldeet daughter of Wit. Walme? (deceased) of Spartanburg village. She had suffered much from ill health for several years ; her fatal disease, however, ooatinued but two weeks; when, in the fortieth year of her age, and two days before the twentieth anniversary of her marriage, in oalm resignation to the Divine will,and sustained and cheered by the faith and hope of a Christian believer, she expired. This announcement will doubtless pierce many a heatt with no ordinary pang of grief. Those whose privilego it was to know her to the extent of due appreciation of her worth, will, it is belisved, however remote in joint of rtuuenw, or oi ionuiy or sooial relationship, * feel a sense of personal berc i Yemeni, aud a cou soiousnrs* of Individual loss They cannot but know (bat Lb is visitation of Provideuce is, to surviving friends, the close of a bright and en chanting scene?the disturbance of a long and sweet repose of the heart's purest affections? the end of a pleasant life-dream?which, however mueh valued in its \ mgross, is more so now that it is past. An cmloliinent o( much of the true, the beautiful ami the good, has been covered over from our visible contemplation by this Bad fall of death's dark, separating wing. But the consolation is, that it is not lost or destroyed; for it still shines, though unseen by mortal eyes, in uudiuiincd and increased splendor?unobstructed by the frailties of the flesh, and untarnished by con'act with n sinful world. Her netnrnl endowments were of a high and poble order. From very childhood the was ever distinguished by a leading mind, which did not fail to attract attention, to command respect, aud elicit admiration. In the readiness, elegance and strength of her pen, she excelled in a degree that would hare adorned the pagee of the printed volume. ller comprehensive grasp of every subject within her accustomed range bf thought?a rapid and judicious . analysis or combination of ^11 the important elements involved in any question of practical morality, of prudence, of utility, or of taste, rendered her a valuable counsellor and desirable friend. Such was the confidence inspired by a knowledge of her talents in these respects, that her opinions often exercised a controlling influenoe in direetions where, in becoming modesty, she would not have presumed to offer formal advice. Conscious that her vIcwb and opinions, when matured, were not mere whims, Itnf fkn nnaiilf af a ?? *? ~ ? ? w?* M*? ivvMiv v* m urWCBO U1 I UASUUing, the ww conspicuous for decision and firmnets; while a constitutional ardor and energy imparted to her character such a mot ire power aa rendered her eminently active and efficient In every sphere of life. The unostentatious elegance, the frugal comfort, and the excellent taste, displayed in her mnch-loved home, attracted the eye of the visiting stranger; while her intellectual elevation, conversational attractiona. graceful deportment, and winning attentions to all those amenities becoming to her position as mistress of the household, usually made an impression remembered, and often referred to, with expressions of pleasure, and in terms of praise. When about thirteen years of age, in company with her father and brother, she joined the Baptist Church; but ten or eleven years ago she united with the Methodist?in which conimanlon she remained until death. She always cherished a lively and abiding interest in tho prosperity of the church?its ministry and membership?the progress ot its doctrine-*, and the advancement of its various enterprises fur the promotion of the moral and spiritual improvement of the world. Her feeble health debarred her, much of the time, frotn what she erer esteemed a privilege end pleasure?the exercise of her superior gifts and acquirements in the Sunday School rooin. Among the innny things, pleesent to remember, which she said in her lest days, was an expression of the hnppineee H would afford Iter, should God be pleased to restore her health, to "take the dear little ohitdren as by the hand, and lead them to Jesas." The trying times of the last several years furnished many exemplifications of her patriotism, fortitude, sympathy and charity. Htr death-bed utterances were of a vtry satisfactory and comforting nature. Wholly absorbed in spiritual exercises?unreservedly reliant on the merits of Jesus Christ?full of love to God and every human being?she often spoke with an exulting degree of assurance, of tbo blissful, glorious future. Her mind was clear and bright until the sun of life went down?no cloud or darkness was uiicoruiDic uuiu me nigm 01 ucain naa ruiiy coma; and the intelligent, instructive, and consolatory expressions which, during those memorable hours, fell from her lips?coming as they did, solemn, soft, and mellowed as by reverberation from the very hills enclosing the alley into which she was gently descending? hare found a lodgment in the hearts of those who watched around her, whioh, it is hoped, may prove to be of everlasting worth. She ie gone?but it is only in an inferior, a material sense. Mentally, spiritually, wo yet sea bar, hear her voice, and feel the power of har presence. We await the time when we shall see ber, and other loved ones gone before, more really than we have ever done in this life; and when we shall enjoy communion with them ia that heavenly relation, which we understand to be more intimate and endearing than any of tha ties known to earth, in that our Saviour hath said, "they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God."
