So that day there was dole nt Astotat." Tknsyhon. Those simple linos the 4'artloss tnlo relate", of the close of ft human existence of that evening of life, which with ' .sallow-rilled gloom" has stealthily | cfopt upon one in our midst and envoi oped her in its ii.y folds. The lust sad labor of love has been performed. There has been made?that departure In its gentle sense of the loved upon -'' earth for a fairer region, with sighs of deep regret for a requiem and the fragrance of a beautiful, virtuous lift: beyond the turning of the tide "far up the shining Hood until will be found the palace of the King.*' While we "grant grief tears", the soothing harmony [o( a christian life is wafted towards us, and *'th?: virtues of a noble woman are magnified and shines more clearly after the blessing has taken it< flight, and there is left to sorrowing friends only "to sou through Heaven's gate the angel within it." Mrs. Sallie T. Wardlaw, tho btdoved wife of Maj. A. I). Wardlaw, died on Friday February l?'lth 1885, at Jl p. m. She was horji at Liberty IIill, Kerahaw Co.. S. C., in 1837, where her early years were spent. On a visit to friends at this placc she met Mr. Wardlaw and they were married in 18~>8. To intrude into that sacred prucinct and disturb the holiness of private sorrow would be to "rush in where angels fear to tread." Suffice it to s*v that the womanly traits of this estimable lady were everywhere apparent and won for her the admiration, the respect and the love of all. Her devotion to duty was the most prominent irait in l???r character. This was beautifully exhibited when, with a bravo, heart, she encountered till; wintry blasts of Virginia (luring the war to Ik* j with him whom she had chosen for bettor | or worse. Fell disease laid its hand heavily upon her and for many weeks sin? was a HufTerer, yet her faith faltered not. and even when the dread summons came she met it with christian resignation. A ' vast concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives assesembled in the Presbyterian Church to pay a last tribute to her estimable character and sterling worth. Ti"hero the Her. \V.
