His mind calmly and patiently awaited his change, trusting with an abiding faith in him “who doeth all things well.’ Mr. HW. has left a large cirele of relatives and friends to mourn their lows. In Republic, Seneca county, Aug. Lith, 1852, Mus. MARY ANN SHOW, wife of Dr. G. HE. Show, and daughter of John P. and Elizabeth L. McArdle, aged 33 years and 7 months. She left children to mourn her irreparable lofe. Mrs. Siow had for some years been a resident of Republicy was much esteemed and beloved by all who knew her; and her sudden and unexpected death has cast a deep gloom throughout the circle in which she moved. Her tlprss was of but a few hours duration. She was, apparently, in usual health when she retired. Ablithe knew those happy children, as they pressed a kiss upon her cheek, it was their mother's farewell kiss, her last “good night whe at eve was coy and happy, the first beams of morning found her feebly strug gling to the embrace of death. Never have we be held so mournful and thrilling a scene as her death presented.

Yet we know that she is sleeping With the green turf on her breast, And the moan of khindred weeping, Troubles not her dreamless rest. And me thinks kind angels hover Round those babes, that shadowed hearth Where so late were gaily sounding, Happy voices, cruicheh mirth Husband!—thus there is broken — Thus the heart forgets thy love, But how beautiful the province, Thou mayest join the host above. A kind band hath clothed the lilies, He thy weeping children hears — read them to him—he will kindly Treasure up their falling tears Zein
