and sought a home in this new country
logetlier idmriitg iu many inconveniences.
Death has called a number from our miJst
durinsr the past auiiuner. Amid the iih4
pleasani social relations', surrounded hy all
the comforts and luiuries of life, how ler-
ril lo teems thq tliaugh( of Ilittating'oue,
from tlie loved family circle, and how
doultly uflliciing when mrrounded by
strangers, and in want f many tf llio
comforts and conveniencos of home.
Rut two weeks from tint lime I touk my
firt eiitliwslaslif view, of llie beautiful
country surroundinir Ih-llevue, Iiow wnj
that Iiit enthusiasm rliillcd, by bctui,'
prni'tii'ully lnmiiulfd, thnl denth was ever
in our midst ; and (he first victim wu-i 11

and how dark 11 uluulow llio Ioks fif Mu h
n little life could Cast; only those whobuvo
kiiown by etporii't'ice, 'could fully' TfrtFizr.
llien came (he lonj and liiierlnp; ' ill
iH's'sof one, who, b avin; her only daugh
ter iii tin' enro of friends, joined her hnX
band with many plmsnnt ntiticljiatiotm fur
spending a pleasnnt minuner nt Relli-rtte,
and in the prime of life, she, too, was laid
iu our cemetery, fur f 1 um the fritmdp of
her youlh, and deprived of tho privulege
of folding her child in one InM embruup,
and whispering a few last wonU of Heo
tioualo uounsel, which as the purling ud
vico of n dyinsj mother, might have prov
ed 11 powerful ulismniuloshield hi-rhuuri
from tin in the hour of temptation. , , ,
Although her husband was entirely de
pemlant upon strangers for aBsistanco in
her cam, hhe won a wunn place in mofe
than one heart, by the patience, awl sweet
ness, with which she endured her protrnr
ted sud'eriugs, and her huhlmnil, the Tcs
poct and unfeigned sympathy of all, for
bis untiring wuU hf uluess itid care. . A
few weeks more past, alid o: young mati
was borno pust to his last rcstbig pluce. -
lo Was buried by strangers,, dependunl
upon strungers for tho discharge of the
ust sad duties, and not a man of God to
commit the df jiavted npirit to it. Creator,
as his body was consigned to the grave. .
Ah! then we bitterly realized that. we
wero indeed iu a : new country, and bhud-
dercd for the muny young men, who, eni
barking all, to make their fortune here;
were many of them, so far removed from
the many restraining moral influences
which surrounded them iu their eastern
homes. :
The fall has proved an unusually un
healthy one,. and there have been few fam
ilies entirely exempt from bickness. AU
though, I believe, there has been but four
deaths, yet lhote have been under circum
stances so touching and sad, ,as to caiu
every heart to thrill with deep sympathy.
Not soon will we forget tho young hus
band and wife, who came to us but latet
spring with as bright anticipations' for fu'
ture happiness and prosperity as any of
us, yet after only a short illness, bo h are
now resting side by side in that last fleep
which' for this life can know, no wakening.-

Then so soon after followed the death
of Mrs. S -,'die twet lride of Lut
six short months--the fair flower I had so
often noted with pleasure, us transplanted
to our western soil,iu the lirst Uiuh of it
opening loveliness. None who knew her1
can ever forget the fair open lroWf anf
