A week or two befoVC her death, she expressed her readiness to depart and be with her Maker —said she had no fear of death—-that her way was Clear—and shouted aloud the praises of God. Her remains were buried the next day in the graveyard at Corinth, and her funeral was preached by Rev, Mr. Bowdon. Sister, thou has left us; hut While we miss thee sadly, it rejoiceth our hearts to believe that thou hast re l * joined the loved ones who have gone before, and art to-day basking in the sunshine of eternal bliss. Though we will ne’er see thee more on earth, we have a hope of oße day greeting thee in that land where part* ings are unknown, and where sorrow, pain and trouble never enter. B.
