The me Heines failed to have the desired effect, and the whole system became more or kiss para¬ lyzed. The neuralgic suffering WHS relieved >n Monday, but the febrile symptoms seemed to be beyond coil- trol. She was rational to the ln6t mo- ment, and conscious oi her real con- dition all the while. She asked that her mother who resided twenty miles away, and her oldest son who was teaching school in Montgomery Co. near sixty miles from home might be sent for. Messengers were dis¬ patched for them early on Tuesday morning. Her mother reached her side in the afternoon, about ten hours before she breathed her last, but her son could not reach home nn- til twelve hours after shi had fallen asleep in death. The news reached his ear as he drove to the his horse dripping with perspiration, that his mother was dead. He was conducted 1 in the house to see, with broken heart, the lifeless form of his beloved mother lying upon the cool- ing board. On Monday she expressed a wish to see her Aunt Margarette(Mrs. J. B Brew ton). She was told that Aunt Margarette was coming to see her next day,(Tuesday). On Tuesday morning she inquired several times, ‘*ls it not time for Aunt Margarette to come p” When informed that her aU nt had come she said, “I am g'ad.” Upon speaking to her aunt she said, “Aunt Margarette, I don t want to die and leave my poor little babe. If it could go with me, I could go satis- fi'-d.

Will you not take it dear Aunt and care for it for me V” U non re- ceiviug the promise that Mrs. Brew- ton would take care of the babe, she appeared to be satisfied upon that subject. During all hvr sickness the babe never cried or qyughed but she knew it She would frequently have it brought to her and held in a ppsi- tion where she could Ui*s it and p)o- nounce her blessings upon it. A tew hours before her death she said she could go satisfied tvs she had procured a good home, for the babe. On Wednesday morning at 3 o’clock und 10 minutes she “leaned upon tbe breast of Jesus and breathed her life sweetly there ” hut The church with a large C',agrees tion assembled at 4 o’clock and Rev J. T. Smith preached us a very COIll- torting sermon from the text, -‘Blc«s- ed are the dead that die in the Tiord. ’ after which the body was taken to tne village cemetery and buried from ouf view. God help ns so to live . that we may meet her in Heaven.
