Star diademed, in chariot of pure pain,
Auii-I the Empyreal Star-fires gloriously,
triumphant o’er death in Heaven to reign—
I J'V soul is gone—seeking its blest abode
Wliert break the songs ol stars against the
feet of God.
At Heaven’s high portal than doth stand,
Halids of attendant Angels by thy side—
(i.izing wnil rapture on the promised land
-I’nlo—meek—from thv last sickliest—pu
rified,
lly suffering. Irom the sills ol earth, lobe
A while-robed angel round God’s throne
eternally.
Low in tlit dark still night of death
I lorn lie'll, unsi'l.'d by the lowly dead !

A beauty shone prophetic of what thou art i

Died at her residence in Hillsboro’ on
die evening of the 14th of May, Mrs.
. Lucinda 15. .Morris, wile of Mr. John G.
, Morris ami only daughter of Col. L 5. Hell,
, in die 35th vear of her age.
Tor several years Mrs. Morris had been
apprehensive of die approach of eonsuinp
, lion, and sought by all proper means to
and oil the drcadlul doom—but ils filial
progress betainu more and mors manifest,
■ mild it appeared evident, that life was rap-’
idly drawing to a close. Human effort bud
(ailed to aflord relict—sho must die ! In,
• ibis momentous crisis she contemplated
her situation with a calmness and sellfpos
session characteristic ol her whole lift*. —
Thu nilnesimg duties ol her station ltsb(
engaged all her cares—she had to led lor
l others, ami neglected heiselt. Though
| evt r scrupulously luiudliil ol her moial du
j li <** and obligations, she lilt at ibis trying
j moment die absolute necessity of a ebatte
jol heart before she could appear in the
j piesence ot her Crtcjlnr. Long bail berl
j U-rveiii players been olfeted in secret for a
j preparation lor judgment; but instead of
I comfort and joy in believing, she felt herself
I bowed down in the deepest humility and
distress, n dor the consciousness of her
, on n uuwor'liiuess.
t til Saturday before her death, she oh
j st'rvei! to a friend, “Though my sulferings j
have been long and unmitigated —my liodv
j prostrated and loitering lo the giave—dear
jly ;is ’ I love my hush and and children I
j would Ireely give them up, il l could he
j assured ol the salvation of my soul. She
! dien called lor the reading ol some passa
ges ol “Si iipture, and listened with the J
| most inteaso solicitude; appearing to be I
i deeply afiertt and with the sublime doctrines j
jol reileinplioil ill the hhiod of Christ.” On j
Sabbath moiiiing she was very much de- ■
I pressed m mii.d, and extremely feehle in
I hotly. Sore was her distress! it had been
a gloomy night to that poor sulferer!!—
| She asked some seareliing question* upon
| those divine words ol St I’anl, “lly grace
j are ye saved through faith, and that not of!
i yourselves, it is the gilt of God.”
Not obtaining full satisfaction, she ex- j
pressed great desire to see her dear absent
brother, (her hail brother, the Rev. Jacob
King, ol Upson county.) Hut no human
aid could avail her now— her aching heart
was turned lo Christ, and those words be
came words ol peace to her—she was
taught ol God ! With St John she could
say, “It is the spirit that quiekenelh ; the
ll> sh profile til nothing ; the words that 1 j
speak unto you are spirit, and they are life,” j
She began lo comprehend the foundation ol ,
her hope—mil it is true, in her own Illness, |
noi Irom the pglit ol nature, nor human
reason—but in the meiitsof a ciucilied
Saviour! She was coiiilorled, though all J
her doubts were not removed; a holy iullu- !
mice had reached her heart. She cotilinu- j
ed in this stale until Tuesday, at limes j
lii m in laiih, and then in doubts and sorrow.
Would the Lord send her help in this her
lime ol need!—will iiust him lor his
grace.”
Her lung wished lor brother arrived—no
one knew ol his coining—lie \-as God’s j
honortd messenger to Ins beloved sisioi ; !
long and tender was their interview—not of
earth was their conversation; but of Christ I
ami the s lints everlasting rest!—Faithful y
did that man ol God execute his mission to j
bis dying sister—lu r feats were banished
—sectarianism scattered to the winds—
clear and simple, yet glorious was the way !
and plan ol salvation, as now brought to j
her view—and in that solemn hour, she I
was enabled to say r , “Oh ! death where is j
1 l*y lmg, Oh ! grave where is thy victory.” j
Stvilily passing to liiu tomb was that tiagile !
torn), Inn her spirit was waiting in Inttnble
resignation, the will of Heaven.
Site sent word to her beloved husband
(who could iml see her, being prostrated
upon a bed ol suffering in another room)
not to grieve for her, but meet her in
Heaven.
Vein would lie the attempt to portray the
last hotiis of her life—her reason novel
lorsook her—her faith was calm and strong,
enabling her to triumph even over the I
agonies of death. She yielded up her j
ransomed spirit, without a struggle or
groan, 18 minutes after 3, P. M.
She has left a husband whom she adored j
and three promising children, together with |
hei relations, and it large circle of friends to 1
depone a loss that can never be supplied. [
The endow ments ol her mind were of a
superior order, and in the tva'ks of domes
tic and social Itle, she was truly an orna
ment to her sex. R.
Time to cut Timber. —lll a paper by
! ‘Timothy* Pickering, presented to the agri
cultural society of .Ma??aclui?otts in 1821,
it is ascertained that oaks lelled in May
lasted 22 years, whereas, those cm in Feb
ruary lasted Iml 12, though exposed under
’ die same circumstances. A farmer in that
State, cut a birch for a welt swcoo, in Marr
am! peeled the bark oil'; it lasted 17 years ;
• but bitch felled in the w inter season, and
I left w ith the hark attacked, does not last
1 more than a year. It is also stated in the
| same paper, that timber cut in June should
be sawed immediaUly after it is cut, as then 1
it works easier. —Maine ( ulltvutor.

a Qnaaeily Review, adapted lo the wants |
of Baptists in iho •Suuiuem Slates. Ol the 1

sumo there can be 110 doubt. Hitherto,
we have been content to trust to the North ;

tin e* With llie exception of weekly news-!
papers, scarcely any publications have been
issued by Southern Baptists, with a v,sw
ot'keeping pace with the intellectual ad
vancement of the age. Tim direction ol
opinion upon subjects of gicat impnitaueo
and of peculiar interest to us lias been com
mitted toother, and often hostile hands; and
publications have been circulated among
esr chinches containing sentiments adverse
to our institutions, snd prejudicial to our
Christian character. It is time that wo
should think and write for ourselves.
The Ksviow will contain articles on im
portant subjects; roviows and notices of lit-!
crary and leligious works, as woll as olltor
interesting and valuable manor. It will be
published quarterly at $3 00 a year paya
ble on iho delivery of the first number.
To those who take the Index, thu I’eri

published in the State in which they reside,
it will be pul at $2 80 the year.
