104 Departed this life on Tuesday, May 15, at her res idence in Chambers Cos., Ala., sister NANCY PARR, consort of brother Jeremiah Parr, in the 54th year of her age. In the demise of this sister, there is as sociated with it an unusual peculiarity. Her hus band had been at work in the plantation cn the evening of this fatal occurrence, when seeing a dark and lowering cloud approaching, and threatening soon to burst in torrents over his head, he set off for home, and in hurrying on his animal, it became exci ted, and throwing him to the ground so much shock ed and injured him, as to render him unable to either got up, or attain his house, whereupon his anxious family hearing his wailings, immediately rushed to his asistance, and vainly made efforts to rescue him from the pelting storm. Among them was his wife the subject of this memoir, who had for several years been afflicted with a disease about the heart, but up to the time of this sad occurrence had enjoyed usual health. Amid torrents of rain and hail, they all toiled in vain to remove her husband, when very suddenly, as if wholly exhausted, she sank into the arms of a neighbor lady, who was endeavoring to aid in their distresses, and expired in a few moments. — Here then was an appalling sight. The husband unable to move himself, and so much injured as to scarcely allow himself to be moved, and his loving companion who but a few moments previous had la bored so faithfully to aid and administer to her hus band's distresses, now gasping in the icy arms of death, both lying together on the ground, unshelter ed from the pelting storm of rain and hail; and were not removed until the cloud was over, which continu ed pouring down upon these uncovered victims for more than an hour. In the death of our sister, the church at Mt Pis gah has sustained the loss of a consistent member— the vicinity a good neighbor, and her now afflicted and bereaved husband and children an irreparable loss. Yet why need any mourn, when we have left with us the testimony that our loss is her eternal gain. A: BROTHER. The true Light. Is thy heart athirst to know That the King of heaven and earth Designs to dwell with man below, Yea. hath stooped to mortal birth ? Search the word with ceaseless care, Till thou find this treasure there. With the sages from afar Journey o‘er sea and land, Till thou see the morning star o,er thyheart unchanging stand Then shalt thou behold his face Full of mercy tmth and grace. For if Christ he horn within, Soon that likeness shall appear Which the heart had lost through sin God’s own image fair and clear; And the soul serene and bright, Mirror forth his heavenly light, Jesus let me seek for nought But that thou shouldst dwell with me ; Let this only fill my thought, Through this earthly cave and strife, Through the calm eternal life. W ith the wise who know the right, Though the world accounts them fools, I will praise Thee day and night, I will order by Thy rales All my life, that it may be Filled with praise and love to Thee, SOUTHERN BAPTIST MESSENGER.
