Their Scriptures taught that Christ would brcuk Hell'? aneient power, und set them free, That He, the sleeping saints would wilke, And lose thom from captivity ; That Ile Would crush the serpent's bend, Parry tho force of Adam's fall, tlucaor thc liringaiid|lhodead, Whom Satan held so long In thrill). Out not tlie'Israelttcs alone, Wishesj.for the ending of the night; The (le H tile, wm ld desired il gone, And craved the dawning of their Light. Aeadetnieians had appliud Th? lens of proud Philosophy, Life's ubitruto riddlo to decide To solve Man's ?ml and destiny. They delved with subtle skill und url. These wondrous secrets lo unmask. Dut without cum}.m J. without chart. They wcro unequal (ollie tnsk. Tho Pagan world, the Hantken Mind, Rssay.d their ulrcugth, their energy, But could no netting balsam find, For human ills mid misery. The age nf Prophecy was tone, And carling tokens every M hire, Tint her long night was utmost gono That ??.on her Saviour would appear. The gr mt A rehanged had apr cured Before tt maid of matchless Worth, And in lier wondering ears declared That she would bring that Saviour forth.

G., Dec. 21st, 1809, and ber mortui remaios were Interred'in tbe Cemetery of Sumter, S. Ci on her sixty sixth birthday, by tho side of Johu C. T. dilbert, hor youugest sou, ? viotim of tho war. Mos. OILBKHT recoived ber early educational training partly in thu city of Now York, and partly iu tho town of Camden, S. C. She was married, in tho yoar 1822, to Mr. Amos A.Hilbert, of New Davon, Connecticut. Sbo connected herself with tho Presbyterian Church iu carly girlhood und continued a momber of it to tho timo of her death. Sbo wu? for many years a member of tho Church ut Waltcrboro', S. C., un? der the pastoral caro of tho Kev. Edward Pal? mer, for whom sho eutortuincd tho greatest nf fuction as a pastor and friend, She closed her earthly career in connexion with the Presbyte? rian Church, Sumter, S. C. She leaves as obiof mourners, turo sons and three, daughters, with numerous friends sympathizing with thom in their gi eat grief. Mrs. Gilbert was loft a widow with six chil? dren, whlloyot tho oldest was only twelve years of age. How she met this great responsibility, in tlie midst of manifold struggles, tho energy and usefulness of these onco helpless ones, sufficient? ly testify. The eurliest recollections of ber chil? dren, uro associated most tenderly with tho pray? ers and religious instructions and wise couusols of their venerated and lamented mother. Sho was of foc?le frame and health, but ber great energy of character und hor abiding fulth in tho God of tho widow, powerfully sustained her in the midst of uOlictions and trials, which would biive overwhelmed and Crushed many, not so constituted, not so trustful lu an ovcrru lii g Providence But her energy had n wider reach for its ex? ercise, than tho family circle. Sbo loved tho cause und kingdom of tho Mossed Redeemer. She bud a heurt to pray, nnd a band to labor for Zion's welfare. "Sho did what sbo cou d" in tho church of God. Sho devised and executed liberal things. Sho was nuver idle. Difficulties in the path of duty never deterred her, but only oxeitod bur to more determined effort. Sho was intensely patriotic. Sho clung to hor integrity, in tho midst of tho wreck and ruin which sur? rounded her, and lived to seo reluming prosperi? ty, rising from tho ashes of desolated homes, and tho utter prostration of every thing connected witt) her adopted und beloved South, the land of her children's nativity and ot horbost irlends. Ono ol ibo Inst labors of those active und never, tiring fiugors, now palsied in death, was a beau? tiful work of art, designed us a contributon to tho Fair recently held in .Sumter, to raise funds to eruct a tnuuumcnt in memory of tho heroic young men of tho District, who died tn thu war. She was a very Dorcas In labors of love and of mercy. Sho exhibited in u remarkable man? ner, what an amount of good a determined pur* poso with a corresponding effort cnn cflcot, with? out tho aid of largo pecuniary means. Dui thu timo liad now como when sho must not in u higher, holier and happier sphere. Tho work of her Master wus dono upon earth. Sho hud lived to a purpose Sho had raised her family to manhood and womanhood. She hud illustrated Christian character under bereavement, and adorned tho doctrino of Oed her Saviour in tho activities of lifo, lier death was u beautiful and '.ouching commentary upon a lifo spent ia the service of God. Though this last enemy carno suddenly, he did not como unexpeetcdly. Sho wisc no of those wiso ono?, who'always have their lamps buming and their loins girded. Sho was reinly, though tho cry of "behold tho brido groom cometh, go ye out to moot him,'' should como 'at even, or at midnight or at cook-crowing, or in Ibo morning-" She feared not tu traverse "the valley of thc shadow of death," for sbo knew who had promised tu bo with ber. There wcro no agitations ol mind, no hurried and unsatisfac? tory preparations for the mighty future. AU was calm nud serene She was pleased with every thing. Just as tho sun bogan to gild tho East, sho desired tn riso from lier bed, for it was her u iual hour of rising Sho was told that she was too weak for such an efTort. But sho insisted upon it, und sho was accordingly assisted to riso und was scated in a chair. Having givon some directions 08 to making her position comfortable, sho yielded up her spirit, without n strugglo or iv groan. It was a surprise to nil that sbo lind survived so long, und it was equally iv surprise that sho breathed her lust so calmly, so suddenly. A radiant glow was left upon her fuco, such as was not seen Ibero in Ufo. Was it not ibo faint imago ol' immortality which animates that body, which fell so swiotly uslccp in Jesus? Was it not a glorious reflection of tho happy depart in ir spir? it? There it remained fur hours, liko the beauti? ful Aurora, illuminating tho surrounding dark? ness. ".She is not dead, but slccpetb." Death cunio und knocked, knocked quick upon that dour, 'Twas opened straight, hut angels wcro before There Jesus stood, anil Death retreated back; Hu bud no work-his power was tn'on away There was no need that he should longer stny Both Soul and dust, lo Jesus now belonged Ile bought them butti, and would not buvo them wronged, Tho happy soul, the angels bore aloft, Tho budy loft, to sleep in slumbers soft. High o'er that dust tho Saviour's watchful oyo I,miks fondly down fruin loftiest-arch of sky, 'Twill not bo long before thnt uwful doy, When Heaven and Kurth, new glories shall dis play, Tho coming Judgo, willi nil his nngcls strong, This precious dust, will rise and join tho throng, And brighter shine than splendid morning star Within that bouso which faith now secs afar. _(.
