My Friends, we have met to-day to pay the last trihutc of
respect, friendship and affection to our departed Friend.
Although she was noy partner in life, I cannot allow this oc-
casion to pass without making a few remarks on her life and
death.

We have also met to consider briefly the subject of Death
and the lesson it tenches to the living ; and if while wo pass
a few moments in these reflections, we should be so fortunate
as to obtain therefrom any incentives to the better discharge
of the duties we owe to ourselves, to one another and to the
cause of reason and humanity everywhere, it may not be in
vain that we have met together to-day.

The event of death, though unavoidable, produces very
generally and naturally feelings of solemnity and sadness
when it comes either to ourselves or our immediate friends.

This is to bo expected and it is coramendablo. Onv frioiuls,
t'to, we consider part of us, and hence we are seldom if ever
prepared to yield tliom up, even when they have lived tho
allotted term prescribed to human existence and beyond
which if they remain there can be but little else in store for
them than the pains and infirmities of old apfe. Still wo
would keep them with us if wo could. Wo would always like
to look upon tho old familiar faces that have smiled upon us
from our childhood, and would always like to hoar tho ac-
cants of those kind voices that have smoothed and cheered us
on the rugfjed way of life. We never become tired of look-
ing on the one nor of hearing the other. These feelings are
natural and honorable, for they spring from the kindliest
emotions of our common humanity. We are social beings,
and it is in tho society of each other that our happiness con-
sists. But it is i'l the family circle more especially that our
choicest treasures are garnered, and when a member is taken
away an aching void is left within the heart that years on
years may not fill up, for memory is always busy in pictur-
ing tho lineaments of the loved and lost.

We are reminded, my Friends, upon this occasion of her
whose career in life has just ended. Although for years she
enjoyed but very inferior health ; still she wished to live, be-
ing surrouuded as she was by a kind circle of friends and
acquaintances and enjoying all the comforts that a happy
home could afford. Believing that this world was the viglyr
j^ lot il fltny all and the end all, it was natural for her to
have a strong tenacity for life.

" Do you ask what religion she had ?

Be her character thus understood —
A dissenter from all that was bad,

A consenterto nil that was good."

My friends, seldom or never has the coffin closed pvor a
more upright woman. Death had no terrors, for her. Al-
though she wished to live, she looked upon Death as a bless-
ing and not as a curse. When disease had made such

headway iu lier sj'stem, when she saw that it was impossible
for her to recover, then she welcomed death as a fiicud. In
justice to Llie departed, I must say, that the principal features
in her character were Honesty, Industry and Kindness. A
wronger an unjust action she scorned hut uph-^jld right and
truth under all circumstances. When enjoying anything
like fair health she was ever busy adding to the comforts of
our happy home. Her hand was evc-r open to alleviate the
wants of the poor and needy.

On the morninj? of h( deatl», I was pleased to hear her
guardian make this remark, "Shf^Las gone; a wrong word
she never gave to me."

We pity her who has lost a loving child but she has this
consolation that she did her duty nobly. No Mother could
do more for a loved one, than she did for the departed.

For myself, I will only say, I have lost my nearest and
dearest friend, we cannot hold ourselves out the consolation
that we will meet her a<^ain, for wo believe that she has gone
to sleep the sleep that knows no wakening. If their is such a
thing IS a meeting — and I hope their may be — we shall re-
sume those kindly associations we formed when here. But
we see nothing in nature to warrant us in harboring the idea,
for as the Writer savs " as the tree falls so it must lie,"
*• Man goeth down to the grave and riseth again no more for
ever."

The lesson to be learned from the event of death is to era-
ploy our time usefully in the performance of good deeds
rather than in making a display ol profession. It is custom-
ary I am aware on occasions of this nature to listen to exer-
cises of another character. We cannot all think alike ; but
their should always be charity for honest convictions, and if
this were the case, we should hear no more persecution and
intolerance on account of opinions. We believe that good
works are the only preparation for this life or any other, and
that he whose career has been useful and blameless, is the
fittest to live and the best prepared to die.

Mny we all livo thns. Be kiiid to the poor mid unfortunate ;
relievo the oppresAed ; inst^oj; the ignorant; be furgi\iug
to the erring ; and just to all. So that when our turn comes
to follow our dear sister and tr.ke our last look on earth, it
may be said of us that we have done our duty and made ihe
world a little better for our Itaving lived in it.

And now, my dearest friend, iny kind associate, farewell.
Thur is a hard word to nso in ordinary circumstances, but on
an occasion such as this it makes the eyeH and the tongue to
falter. In all our meetings for the cause of truth, and the
advancement of the human family wo will only wish that you
were with us. In nil our friendly gatherings you will not be
forgotten, but will live in ihe beating hearts of those who
knew you best.

Dearest, again, farewell. 5 /
