This brave and tender woman, in every storm of life, was oak and rock, but in the sunshine she was vine and flow er. She was the friend of all heroic souls. She loved the beautiful, and with color, form and 'music touched to tears. She sided with the weak, and with a willing hand gave alms; with loyal heart and with the purest hand, she faithfully discharged her duties compatible with divine teach ings. She was a worshipper of lib erty and a friend of the oppressed. She added to the sum of human joy, and were every one for whom she did some loving service, to bring a blos som to her grave, she would sleep to-{ tending two weeks beyond the cus tomary 40 days.
