Thus, in the fpace of two fhort days, has a 
fond hufhand loft one of the moft amiable, 
the moft benevolent, the moft affedtionate, of 
wives-——one of the lovelieft and fweeteft chil- 
dren that eyer bleffed a hufband and a parent, 
Could net one victim, relentlefs Death, fa- 
tisfy thy rapacious grafp? To record. thofe 
excellencies, which have adorned the charac. 
ter of departed friends, is at once a jut tri- 
bute paid to their memory and an encourage- 
ment given to the virtuous, that the amiable 
qualities they Siieivace fell not be configned 
to that immediate diflolution, which awaits 
their earthly form, It has feldom fallen ta 
the pen of friendfhip to record the removal of 
a larger {hare of thofe qualities which render 
human exiftence valuable, than the fubjed&t of 
the prefent memoir. in her character and 
perfon were united thofe graces and endow 
ments, which give intereft and dignity to 
life. Pofleffing great perfonal attraétions, 
fhe fuffered not the emotions of vanity to lef~ 
fen the intereft they excited, nor the fug- 
geitions of caprice to detract from the refpect 
which they commanded. Direéted by the 
ftrongeft feelings of benevolence and charity, 
her exertionsin the relief of diftrefs wére un- 
wearied, and affectionately afliduous. Her in- 
elingtion to do good was as ample as her 
means. For eleven years had this moft inte~ 
refting and excellent woman been afflicted 
with a tormenting head-ach, wlfich all the 
{kill of the immortal wen could not cure. 
—No interval of real eafe did fhe ever know 5 
but, when fhe had fome refpite from the vi- 
olence of her excruciating pain, her aGive 
mind was filled with an-ardent defire for im~ 
provement, and employed in the purfuit of 
thofe branches of fcience which adorn and 
enlarge the underftanding—in opening the 
meek hand of charity and mild benevolence— 
in wiping away the forrows from affiiction’s 
eyes, and brightening misfortune’s fhade. 
Attentiv+, in the higheft degree, to promote 
the happinefs and comfort of all around her, 
the poor and the friendlefs never applied to 
her in vain: fhe permitted no opportunity to 
efcape in which fhe could foften their fuffer- 
ings, or add to their comfort 5; and ficknefs 
ferved only to foften her temper, not to fubdue 
it. Her manners were artlefs and engag- 
ing—her whole condu& was one continued 
act of beneficence, of kindnefs, of good will; 
but fhe is gone ! and teebie words are unable 
to exprefs her matchlefs virtues. The remem- 
brance of them will live in the hearts of all 
who knew her. She has left an affli@ted 
huiband, and three darling children to emu- 
late her virtues, and to deplore her lofs. 
«* Long at her couch Death took his patient 
ftand, 
And Hetnced oft’—-and oft withfiela his 
hand ;”” 
At laft he ftruck—-the fatal blow he gave: 
Nor love, nor fkill, nor art, had power to 
fave.
