The accompany notice chronicles @ most pa- theuc event, which has brought sorrow to many, but has overwhelmed an already bereaved heart with still another and unspeakable woe. We can- not understand the wonderlai ways of God, and we have need fo pray that our fasta fail not under suctt dismal and severe chastisements. ‘There are some whose condition in life Is so in- tolérable, by reason of afiliction, the fickleness of fortane or the unkindness of their fellow-men, that “had not the Everlasting fixed His canou ’gatnst pellalsngaee mey would voluntarily seek relict tudeata. Tenderly and sorrowiully be it spoken, but alas ! it ls too trne, that many worn out refuse things in human shape- wretches anxious to be nd of “a weary life,” would have joyfully hailed we advent of this stera messenger. How diferent the lot of our dear ittle Sophie !

The poet bay described a “torm'’ go perfect that “every god did seem to set bis seal upon it.” Though this might be adulation 4 applied to a mortal, yet we can most trutniully say of her that Heaven “had set 118 seal” upon ber sweet face; for her very prow and aspect pro- claimed the divinity within, She possessed ad ep Dature and a large capacity for admiring and loving all that ts beautiful or lovely or good. ler gentie soul had early yielded to the sweet influences of religion, The truths of whtch at ail times easily and profoundiy impressed her, Faith, hope and charity Were touchingly exemmplitied in her life. “The gre est of these’’—charity—was pre-emtaen tly ch: terfstte of her, as Wehr oan testify who were the recipients of’ her Kind deed and as some well know who have listened with pleasure to ier be- nignant and charitable words, The itttie sp that came early in the mormng to be fed balcony, couid also bear witness to her benevol Her fla) avfection was something quite remarka ie; it was, indeed, her “ruling passion.” Her dispo- sition and Rearing towards ail Was so peculiarly win- niug that she received, without the least effort on ber part, universal admiration and love, In this brief sketch only a few points can be no- ved; but it would not be easy to exhaust the alory hev \irtues.
