heart, and for a well regulated conduct, and 
demeanor. Although the period of her con- 
finuance in this school of moral discipline 
was short, her education in it might be 
regarded as complete, since she left it with 
zcarcely a fault in her character remaining to 
correct, and without having any additional 
Virtue to acquire.

At Mosely, near Birmingham, in the 44th 
year of her age, after an illness of a few daysy 
Mrs. Hawkes, wife of Mr. Thomas Lakin 
Hawkes. In benevolence she had few 
equals, and could have no superior; she hud 
that elasticity of aftection, that healthful re- 
lish of life, which were the result of uncon= 
taminated goodness; and a childlike simpli-’ 
city of heart, so that she communicated to 
all around her a feeling of interest in the 
sphere of action in which she moved—a feel -, 
ing of interest, that now, alas! will only be 
remembered to be regretted, whose monu- 
mental record will be a void in the hearts of all. 
who knew her. The most painful experience 
of human life results from the sterility of _ 
excitement which we vainly and variously 
deplore, in all its vain and various scenes. 
And there can scarcely be 2 more congenial 
and reconciling spectacle to those who have 
any relish for what is lovely in the works of 
Providence, than that of a human being, 
active and happy, not from self-love and 
worldly schemes, prosperously advanced, but 
from benevolence, and from the power of 
making the interests of others her own.

but additionally as a solemn arrest to the’ sen- 
sibilities of a numerous acquaintance. er

it alone in pecuniary donations, or im occa- 
sional and easily dispatched acts of benefi- 
cence, that her charity distinguished itself. 
She allied herself to those who wanted a
