ARTHUR SIMMINS, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1859. p5-Atteution is directed to the letter V Gen. BRIssAXs. The Concert. Mr. J. T. BAcox's pupils in music, it will be seen, give % Concert at Odd Follows & Masonic Hall on the evening of the 'ith July. Doubtless thero will be a full attendance and a pleasant en tertainment. Mr. B's pupils are many of them young. both in years and in the art of music; yet we venture to predict they will all show that they have been under the guidance of a masterly hand. Military Election. On Saturday last, Lieutenant S. B. BLocrs' was elected without opposition Major of the Lowei Battalion, Ninth Regiment, S. C. Militia. On the same day, at this place, LieuL M. W GARY was elected Captain of the Edgefleld Hue sure, and Messrs. R. W. Toupiys, and M. C. But min, respectively, rst and second Lieutenants i the same spirited corps of Cavalry. First Gun* Find, by reference to the general card of Invita tion, that the Fourth is to be celebrated at Wit liamston Springs by Rqading, Speaking and Di ning. We doubt not that all will be done deeentlj and In order, and that those who go will realise i treat. Map of the War. An excellent colored map of the war region 11 Europe may be had by application to Mr. S. 0 COURTfNAT, Charleston. It is cheap, costing bu 25 cents. A Beautiful Beet, and a Big. That beet from the always-superior garden a Mrs. . 0. B. is really a beauty of a bt. Twen ty-ive Inches in clroumferenee is not to be beatei easily. Although Columbia has us In length, a per paragraph below from the Guardian, we mua still be alloived to doubt whether Mr. P. H. F beet Is as beautiful as Mrs. B's. - IoXcvaa BxzT.--We saw and handled on yea terday, a monster beet which was grown in th garden of Mr. H. Flanigan, of this City, and whic we think is one of the largest we have ever seet It measured 25 inches in circumference, about 1 inches in length, and weighed 1 pounds. It I certainly a noble specimen of a fine garden vege table. The Agent Out. Mr. D. W. McCoRn, the Agent for Montgome rys celebrated Fans and Threghers, and Cotto Gins, Is now going the round of this District an will be most happy to serve all who need thea Important implements of agricultural labor. Th machines from the long-tried house of Mr. Jos - Extteou, Abbeville C. H., are said to be uniu passed for excellence and durability; and here I en opportunity offered to buy them at your doe -end have them delivered on your premises. Great Dinner in Augusta. A great dinnqr comes off in Augusta on Satui day next in honor of HOSORABLE ALEXANDER A STEP.s, late member of Congress from ths Congressional District. -Preparations are makin, for a Ave-thousand mass. The Democracy , Richmond and the surrounding counties wil doubtless be out in full numbers. Expectationi ehigh in regard to the distinguished speaker of th occasion. His views are looked to with great in terest, influential as his voice ever is in the politi cal conduct of our. sister State. Some suppos that he will probably manifestan approach toward affiliation with DoUGr.As. For one, we shoul regret deeply to see any such thing developed that powerful quarter. We do not believe that h or any other man, or set of men, can unite th South in support of SrEAvon DouGLAs ; and w duubt very much the ability of Mr. STII'RNS unite even the Georgia Democracy on that grouna The effort to foist the Little Giant upon the peopl of our section will either result in sbortion or in fatal division of the Southern Rights Demoeraca In the hands of so gifted a men as Svau~msa Georgia, this effort might not prove an abortiot We should therefore deeply deplore his taking an; action of this kind. Certain it is, that he can ex *pect no sympathy from South Carolina. fa-- The Charleston Conrier says: "A correa pendtent of the Marion .Star, proposes the name Chbarles WV. Miller, Esq., of Marion, for the vacan cy caused by the death of Chancellor Dargau The names of John A Inglis, Esq., of Cheraw, an James P. Carroll, Esq., of Edgefteld,havealso beel mentioned, although not stated in print as yet." Religious Progress. It affords us sincere gratification to be permitte to record the factof considerable religious progres in our quiet community. Within the last si: months, without any mere excitement-macinetry~ a goodly company of believers have been gathere within the fold of the Church. This has beel especislly observable in the Baptist congregatiox under the ministration of that fervent and efficien man of God, Rev. LUTHER R. GWArLrsET. Bu the good work has not been limited to this con gregation. Rev. Jonx R. PICexstr, of the Methe dist Church, has also been wielding the sword o the siriit with seal and energy, and we understan' that many have been added to the roil of his cit cuit. In the Baptist meetings, which have beea continued nightly for severfi weeks, the Rev. Mr HanhasuAx, of the Episcopal Church, has render cg faithful and exemplary service by his earnes and forcible lecturesi. If his labors in that behal may not result in numerous accessions to his ow: Church, he .will none the less have his reward foi euch unselish devotion to the advancement of the Church Universal. All together, the religioun privileges, with which our community is now beinj blessed, are such as to arrest the respect if not the gratitude of every witness. It Is indeed "a day spring from on high" which no one surely cat mark with indifference. The Season and Prospect. The month of Juno has been a month of showers in these parts. As a .eonsequenoe, the crops sri in remarkably fine growing condition. Along with the crops, grass and weeds are also very luxuriant. In fact there is a strongeontest waginj at the present time for the aseendeney,' betweet the use/fd and the noxious in this department of the vegetable kingdoms. From all we can learna the use/fd will yet come cout triumphantly, except In a few cases where the desire to get rich ?oo fasl has induced farmers to owerarap themselves. But there is not yet a certainty of good crops bj any meanas. Let us not raise our hopes too higi hecause every thing looks flourishing at present kemember, the hot month of July, the tost mont] of the seasun, is yet to come and go. Shiuld thi rains stop short, even the most forward corn fieldi may be reduced sadly from their present hopefe prospects.. Should the rains continue too ahun dantly, the cotton fields may strive in vain te whiten into a full harvest. Mind, we are no grumbling in advance. Whatever comes, it is th duty of men to be submilssive. We only weou net have them expect a great deal when they may yet be disappointed. In other words, let us no count our chickens before they are hatched, that's al. What he Died of. -The Placerville Obsereer thus accounts for thi eudden death of one of the digger tribe, who re cently departed from the land of acorus and grass hoppers, for the spirit land of Diggerdom. Perished thus the luckless Digger, Perished too, from drinking whiskey, Strichnine whiskey, sharp as lightning, Ruin-blue and Ninie rifle - noek-em-stiff and flaming red-eye Buch as kill 'enm at the counter, Forty rods or any distance. Perished thus the retched Injin, By Imbibing strychnine whiskey Bold by some confounded bummer At abit a glass or cheaper Strpehnine whisky-whisky strychnine. W' Mr. 1.3E. flushlag was bitten by a rattle snake, at his plass, near Gilhiseaville, B. C., an' diedi e~M~n~m d The Oakey Woods of Edgenleld. Our correspondent "CAxtaitoGE," last week, and others this week, have taken us to task with no little zest on account of our neglect of the oakey woods of Edgefleld in occasionally mention ing the productions of our suil. Feeling that we have perhaps offended on this score to sonie ex tent, our desire is to make the 'ameude honorblu' -which we now do, as followeth: A large portion of old Edgefpeld (where are the Newberry Vindictiveo?) may be justly designated as "oakey wouds." If travellers by the South Carolina Railroad conclude from what they see on that route, that old Ekdefield is a twetotal piney woods district, they largely mistake the matter. There are great bodies of oakey 'woods in several parts of our territory. First and foremost there is the Cambridge " settlement," embraeing numer dus plantations of good land. with thousands of acres choice in quality and deservelly high in rep utation. Then there is the Liberty Hill section, which- exhibited a splendid oak growth. many years ago, before it was all cleared up and worn out by the QVARn4r', Hsi.tnis, HV:aATs, TRAY Lons, MrNDys, Lyoxs, TALnaraa, and others of a past day. A great deal of this old land is 'com ing to' again under the successikl culture of Its present possessors. Then there are large bodies all up along the Savannah River, including the Beach Island bottoms from which heavy supplies of corn go Into the Augusta and Savannah mark ots. Consider moreover the waters of the Savan nah River, Stephen's Creek, Turkey Creek, Log Creek, &c., and the broad acres along their mar gins. There is also much oakey woods of tolera bly fair grade throughout the Saluda regimental preclncts,-some of It excellent top, as for instance the low grounds and adjoining uplands on Big Sa luda, on Little Saluda, on Richland Creek, on Mine Creek, on Red Bank, and other smaller streams. Then go to old Horn's Creek, with all the hill country thereto appurtaining, and you find another wide scope .of ground where once "large trees from little acorni grow." Indeed it may f safely be put down, that the one-half of Edgelield is to be classed as oakey woods. Bo be it pro. I olaimed, Neither do we pretend to withhold the I truth that the oakey region of Edgefiaeld for along t time made up the wealth and tone and strength of i our district, Neither do we deny that it is stilloc cupied by much of the tailent on4 spirit and en - terprise of our people. Nor da wo gainsay the a fact, that it can still boast some excellent farmers, some well-managed plantations, some rich corn 5 fields, some prime cotton-patches, and "some s pumpkins" in a gineral way. All this we gladly - allow to our friends, our very good and esteemed friends of the oakey woods. We not onlyilow it, but would also exclaim, "A song to the oak, The brive old oak, That hath ruled in the greenwood long." Yet, while we most cheerfully say in war-ballad :phrass, ST hSre etatnds JohAn Bu"1 it startifi pomp," . we cannot fall to add with equal if not superior g tusto, r "And here stands old PINETUCKY." r Yes, here she stands, with sleeker niggers, fatter horses (our'n excepted,) likelier cows, better roads, finer carriages, purer water, more. pianos, neater farm,-in short, almost all the evidences of a rising civilization in higher perfection A "Than whom ?" says "Cambridge" and his allies. .If you can't guess, we are not going to he so im Spolite as to tell y'ou. eA Iheavy " Run" at Billiards. - The following account of FRAXIC Pautas's -.reat "run" at Ililliards, we find going the round, of the papers. Can any of our Edgfel crack Splayers make 500l points ? " The JIanesville Times says that Frank Parker, formerly of Milwaukee, whose friends lately pub. 0 ished a challenge to any person in the State, tmade a "run'' of 5,170 points on Saturday, June S4, on the Hyatt House tables. Itwas made whilst *playing an ordinary flull game, and the first twenty-one points were made "round the table ; Safter which, the two redl bulls and the cue bali Lbeing about 18 inches from the cushion, he played ethem so skilndlly and caeul.a towake one a aroms, makilng in all$,;0pomnts. The billiar-d, .were fairly made, and the time occupied was about f two hours, when Frank being fatigued, and doubt. less somewhat nervous and excited, accidentally " froze" them, and thus was compelled to "' dry Vup." This is said to be the largest run which ha, ever been accomplished by any player. A gentle. man in New Orleans once made 4.144, and another in some portion of Illinois, we think Galeha, toade very near 3,000.' Cigar-Smoking. There is nothing of harm that we can see in the Senijoyment of a peaceful eigar,--especially if it breathes the mild aroma uf a gentle Hlavanna. True, the medical men are writing the practice dlown just at 'this time, and that to'o upon thet .itartling ground that it not unfreq.uently superin 1duces insanity. But this may orumay not. he,-the Sdoctors are not more infallitble than u'Iber peole. Yfet we do maintain that what the ladies say in regard to cigar-smoiking, should bo a law to all men of true gallantry, and eepdecially to bac'helor, still on the lookout foar good wiv'es. Neow, see what a pretty correspo'ndent indites upon this sub ject. We clip but a sentence or two from her delicately-written note: " And further Mr. E'lit'sr, let ore tell you what -the ladies thijnk of cigar-smokers. If our pret'er ence could he complied with, We would say, " smoke Inot at all ;" but as this result is rnot to be hopedl f or, we do say, "&Smke to youarae/r. in yorr studies, in your shops. and inr your officese, if sm'ke you must; never forget yeourselves so far ns to smoke in a "ladies' iarlor," and, most especially, never, aerer' let the light of your ciyor' or the lbreuth 0f/its esahalation be perceiredl in perimity to, the sacred House of Our God." There, gentlemen, is a woed for us all. Let us prohit by it. "Cloud-featured Christians." This singular expression exthibited itself the other day to .our first acquaintance, in the coere~e of reading a religIous article eof considerable an tiquity, and also of considerab~le merit. We kunow of no eas. s chore the exl.r. se camn apply ; Yet there may be some euch, as there were in the year 171l2, the date of the article in questione. At all events, out of place or in place, we si pcnd a lib eral extract from the ancient essayist, and ask attention to It. The closing illustraition, which we have italicized in part, will strike every one, by its appropriateness and sacred beauty. Hear then - the chaste Addison; for It wau he who wrote what we now copy: "Sombrius is one of these sons of sorrow. He thinks himself obliged In duty to be sad and die. consulate. He looks on a suddens fit oef laughter as a breach of hisbraptismal vow. Ate innocent jest startles him like bhlaphermy.

After all, So"nbr ins is a retigius mian. and would have behav.-dI himself very pro. perly, had he lived when Christiankfy u'as wandpr general persecution. I would by no means presume to tax such char. actors with hypocrisy, as is deone too frequently ; that being a vice which I think none bat he, who knows the secrets of men's hearts, should pretend to discover in another, where the proofs of it do not amount to a demonstration. On the contrary, as there are marty excellent persons, who are weighed down by thIs habitual sorrow of hean, they rather deser'e our oomptwsion than our re proaches. I think, however, they would do well to consider whether such beheaviontr does not deter men fronm a relIgious life, by representing it as an unsociable state, that extinguishes all joys and gladness, darkens the face of nature, and de stroys the relish of being itself. I have, In forpner papers, shown how great a tendency there ms to chearfulness in religion, and how such a franeof m~md )j not only the most lovely, but the moat commendabl, in a virtuous person. In short, those who represent religjgp in so unamiable a light, are lik's the spies sent by Moses to make a discovery of the lasif of Promise, when by their reports they discouraged thre people frori patring upon It.

EwTron :-Please copy the piece below, cut from the Marion Star of June 21st. Col. CHARLES WILDS Mn.Ln is a nephew of Gov. SThstan D. MtLLa,-was his ward and studied law in his office. He is now in the very primee-tigor of manhood, being just about fifty years of age. Bis acquirements in his profession are undisputed; and few men, if any, of his age, in the 8tate, have higher accomplishments and at tainments in general learning and literature. In addition to his scholarship, he possesses the most elegant manners and refined sensibilities, and by his bearing and courtesy, he would dignify the Bench and exalt its standard of propriety. In the administration of Justice, we know his temper would be impartial, and his heart in the right place; for " even his failings lean to virtue's side." ONE OF THIS CIRCUIT. Mn. Ernon: The lamented death of Chancellor Geurge WV. Dargan, renders It the duty of the Legislaturc, to elect his successur. Resp~onaihili ty, doubt aend difficulty will surround the electors o~n the g'reat occasion of choice, in supplying the place of so good andl great a man. Jlerit should be the polde etir of election, but all things being equal, and the Republic receiving no detriment, the local wants ca' the Eastern section of the State, should bt- regarded. Every lawyer knows our need. We have neither Chanesellor nor Law Judge in all the Pee Des country-the garden of the State-the rose on the Estern border. Among the distinguislhed members of the bar, on' the Eastern cirenst, there is no man, in all respects, so well fitted for the .igh, nd arduous duties of -Chancellor as Mr. Charles WY. Miller, of Marion Village. The State, will not suffer in calling himn. Twenty-five years of laborious ad varied prac. lice at the asr, an iron constitution, good health, good tem rI; magnanimity, acknowledged learn ing, as a lawyer and scholar 'stored in a retentive memory, qualify him -well for the vacant statioan. Let us hAre his,! Besides, his residence niear the centre of the Eastern circuit, andl the Eastern Congressional D.iseriet, paresents a local claim, en the part of the people, to his election' if it be for the goodsu of the wrhols Ytute. Pan Parn:A. For the Advcrtiser. Mountain Creek Celebration. Ma. Etaroue-On Friday lest it was my most pleasant privilege to paarticipate in the t'estlvitiee of the celebration elf St. John, tile lbsptist, by the Macsonic brethren of Friendlship Lodge, No. 25, at Moauntain ('reek Church, situated shout 20) miles Noarth-Westl of this Village; and, a, this celehrn lion was alike ere'iitaeble to the goodl taste, so.cial spirit nud praziseworthy hospitality of b~otha the Masons and citizens generally of that vicinity, yosu will please allow me space to make honorable mention of the sa'me through your columns.

Arrived at the stand, the WVor ship'ful bluster, announced that the R1ev. brothert Joas Rt. Pcaum, Chalaina of Concordia Lodge. No. 5ee, had baeen selected as the Orator for the occasion, and introduced him to the audience. Thereup~on, Rev. Mr. Pac~xrr, after prsyur, arose and addremsedl the large concoturse before him in his usually able and agreeable style. Hee portrayed in glowing colors thue ueauties of Free Masonry expatiated on their moral duties both to G~od and man, and presented with mnnch force answers to epapy objections made against Masonry. His ex planation i tlw .gcerts of the order for the edifi cation of the ladlies, was insloe.4 gguoropn, and we think served to strengthen their confidence in the institution. At least we hope so, for the approv ing smile of the fair sex is a great desiderattun in the success of alny enterprise-and here we would remark that In order to win their regardl and the admiration of the world, those professing Mason ry should ever conduct themselves with brotherly love-gentlemanly deportmnenat-andl always act in accordance with the .many virtues they are so frequentlif Iaught to inculcate. If this were the case, the objections of the few to this noble insti rution would vanish like the early dew. The entire address of Mr. Pzcaavr was listened to with the closest attention by amp ietelligent and appreciative audience, ceampriseing mnch of the talenit, beauty andlleveliness of Mountain creek and its surroundings.

EnItOn: You say that you proposo, from lue to time to give publication to your views.. ouching the Blue Ridge Rail Road, whereby you re induced to advocate that great work. Allow. me to suggest the propriety, of your going back,: ad wherever you can obtain the opinion of thez reat men of the day wherein the idea of our, niting ourselves by Railroad with the West was rat broached, publish them f&r the consideration f the people. I have given a sample of this in my notice of Mr. CALHoUN's Interest in the work;& ad it has struck me that the opinion of another reat man of the South should be addued; pinion which must carry weight with every res leetive mind, for. It stands upon a foundation s trikingly by indicative of greatness, that every one, on perceive it at a glance. I allude to Gov. Troupo f Georgia. It must have struck all who have. onsidered the subject before us, that the powerfut tate of Georgia entered with blind seal upon her areer of public Improv-ement; thattohave launch. d three millions of dollars upon her first venturg, md to have followed this up with three milliois nore before she completed her portion of the on orprise, viz: the passage of the Blue Ridge, bot iered on madness;-but not so. Every step w" ken with the utmost discretion. Every great nind undertook the consideration of the subjeK md the combined solution was submitted to the eople. It is a false idea, Mr. Editor, that the Engineer is a mechanical tool in the hands of a Preslent and Directors, for the construction of a Railroad. In strict professional parlance he is kgeut for developing the resources of a country. Re estimates trade, he estimates the cost of con truotion, and then he examines the disposai' neans of the cojnmunity involod in the underi king. At least we practiced that system in Ge r. lia at the time in question. That State j1 th millions of money employed in Banking. It , , fund that the people cherished, and had intrust )d to the keeping of one of the most distinguished non that any age or country has over produce allude to the late Dr. ToxrasXi Four. III )yes were turned to this Washington in probity aud comprehensiveness of view; and when itli remembered that for years he led the Demorse as one man, it can easily be conceived the exulft tion with which the Engineer department fo d him prepared to take the lead in the developmnt of Southern resources and of Western inter-e& munication as an essential branch; and more, de termined to advocate with the people the applica Lion of their "pet Bank" money to the great pur pose. It was the arm of a Hercules applied4to the enterprise. For years had the loading Whigs been engaged in ineffectual attacks upon the Cen tral Bank. They regarded it as the demoralislr of the people, and as centralizing power at e seat of Government. With Dr. FonT committM on the subject, we commanded the Whig leaders; the three million in hand could be reached. But we did not stop here. The Seaboard of Georgia was asleep. Savannah, with all her integas~ta. aroused, Brunswick with all her mad speculgion, could not excite thu seaboard, (I had almost said the Parishes.) What should we do? Therewas one means left us, and * sure one. .Goveoknor Troup, although settled in the center of the S te, was a seaboard man, and swhlle the whol of Georgia exulted in him, the seaboard worshipied him. It was his chief enjoyment in his regre mnt to spend weeks and months with his kinfok on their magnificent Estates upon the Ath~itic. Could we butget Gov. TuouP to express an op aon upon the inter-oomnmunication of the A tie with' the MississippI, the Engineer eo , n to lay out kiework.- A -favorable oppo presented itself. Surrounded by some half dozen leading spirit. at the hospitable beard of a friend, within biscuit throw of the waters of "God's roaring Ocean," the question was suggested of "intemarrying them" with the great "inrand Sea." With all those personally acquainted with "the. .-hsmplon of States Rights," It will be easily im gined that this transcendanutalism elfected little in itself; but the great minds that were finited with these expressions ; the interests which, these mindse had taken in the subject before him, at once aroused the attention of the sleeping giant. Seis ing the map which was near him, he passed his band rapidly over the distance to be overcome by the operation, and esclaiming, " you say, Mr. En ineer, that it is shorter by recohun~dredfmiles than the listuce froms the North Atlantic to the same point, from New York for .example ? if this be the case $ir, this one element in the calculation ettleS my mind-two hundred miles nearer to the Mississippi Valley ! if Railrnads are to do ay thing, two hundred mile., at so many cents per ton per umile must settle the question in our fa our.'' It was enough. Gov.

The history of eighteen elturies have answered the former question, and he past few days haye poaeed the latter to my ompleto satisfactlqn.

The exhibition was opened with a burst of uasic from the whole school; even the little bird ing the flock carolled in melodions harmony rith the elder Orioles and Candrli, till the air scams perfectly vocal with the "aconeord of sweet ound." A dialogue was then enacted between an aged 7andother and a little mist', which wes very musing and warmly applauded by the adiene. Speeches were next on the tapis, or rather reci ations of poetry by the young ladies. They were iimitable, and the Chapel rang as never before rith the hearty encoss.

Ax ODsRVyR. Love and Hope. BlY 1. R. OODXAN. Love stopped to rest at a cottage one day, Where Hope was a dweller before that he camo; 99 was tired of roaming, and thus he did say As he took off his quiver and handed the dame: Oh! long let me tarry where, ever, mid flowers Your sweet, lonely cottage so cosily stands, Where the hum of the bees, keeps alive all the bowers, - And the rivulet murmurs through silvery sands, The sunlight fNlls softly through every tree, And peace breathes In all. things the eye cam behold; Oh I who In thialife but would stay here with thee , Sure 'tia better than cities, 'tis richer than gold! Then Hope interrupted the light hearted rover Good lack, you are joking; nor mean what yot say; You will scarce stay a day 'mid the bees and thi A - clover, ut weary of quietude farther will stray. For sure tho' 'tie peaceful and smiling around, You soon yet will pine formore fancifulbeautyj You'll tire where nothing but nature is found, And declare "that you're sadly neglecting youi duty." Though the " White arms of peace" be extended . towards thee, Yet, gold being wanting, to add with its weight As poverty enters, ah I quiekly will you flee, Yes, out of the window; nor seek for the gate Love pouted, and sulkily pioked up his quiver, And turned on his heel as If angry Indeed I Yet he paused, and his arrow he raised with i shiver, As if of the words he had taken full hood. Why speak you of Poverty I love reigns tri, umphant, And drives away every intruder you know; Let it come, while love lives, he is ever exultan, -And fears not the darts that his enemies throw As long as thy anchor holds, here burns my fame My arrows shall enemies turn into friends; Thus, hoping, and loving each other the same, ni' thus for my erring make ample amends. Hope welcomed the feeling and thus it stands ever While love stuck his torch o'er the low oettag4 hearth,-. Now dare any mortal the partnership sever That thus between Hope and Love first had It birth ? Fot the Advertisir. Ma.

Little Isrz was the Idol I of the whole family, and was a beautiful and love- b ly child, and remarkably intelligent for her age. For three years only she was given to those who i loved her, when death came and boro her, as we believe, to a better world. We yield thee to our Saviour's arms, Thou fair and gentle child; With all thy spirit's holy charms, By evil undefiled.

This fair young girl was just emerging from her bright young girlhood to woman's estate, with many a glowing anticipation of future usefulness and happiness. The period of her school life was passing away, and eagerly was she availing herself of the opportunities which her kind and devoted parents were making for her advancement. But alas! the insatiate tyrant who is ever on the wing, speeding his unerring darts to the bosoms of frail humanity, had marked her for his victim, and she has gone to that untried world to which we are all hastening, For two years she had prayed to have an inter est in the blood shed by her Redeemer for the sin of mankind, and in her dying moments she ox pressed her perfect willingness to die, and with the utmost patience sho bore the tedious and pain. ful illness which she was called to suffer. The loss is yours, hers is the gain, For now an angel's robes she wears; A Saviour's soft and loving hand From her blue eyes hath wiped the tears.
