OBITUARY. you have tears, prepare shed them now." to Never was "the electric chain, wherewith we are darkly "bound," so keenly and so stern ly smote, as in the late lamented death of Mrs. Mary M. Joxes; a matron the perfection of whose character neutralises the lan guage cf eulogy, and silences the voice of praise. We bow in silent reverence at mention of that venerated name, and shrink in despair from the task of delineating the virtues which adorned it; yet a heart, that has Jonr kncnvii and felt the sooth ing influence of those virtues, whose darkest and dreariest shades have often been relieved by the halo that ever dwelt a round her spirit, would fain seek in the expression of it's sorrow, a temporary refuge from the grief which oppresses it. If ever the universal hom--age of the living, was due to the memory of departed good ness, her's cannot fail to' com mand all hearts, that breathe and beat within that sphere, in which her genius moved and shone. The spirit of an ano-el clothed with the habilimen's of mortality, she seeded a link be tween the frail creatures of earth, and beings of superior bourne. "Her's was one of 1 those heads which Guido has often painted; mild, pale, pene- f rating free from all common- . place ideas, of fat, contented ignorance, looking downwards on the earth: it looked for wards; but look'd, as if it look led at something beyond this world." The dew of heaven. i was net more lindlv (o tho wi Tyherm& grass; tftan was her'pre 1 3cnce to the parched and weari ed heart; her home, like a fairy region, where all the harsh and stormy passions of the world were silenced, furnished a rest ing place to the soul; all that we know and can conceive of hos pitality, was there dispensed, wit;i a heart whose philanthro- phv knew no bounds, and "a ha open as day to melting charity." But she is gone her voice will never asrain wcl- iei vune wm never again wci :ooirt the earning guest, nor her the sufferings of co ha ie ne.Miv; me nnsrriiest anu .i , i the ipililcststar in our moral fir rmment, has set forever. I stood beside her aged and ex hausted form, a few hours after "the spirit was not there" how different ihe attitude, from that in which I had recently before observed it; then mov ing majestically along the cur rent of life, attended by all it's graces, and dispensing all it's blessings: and now lying "in cold obstruction. " I never be held a face so intelligent and serene in death; .it wore to the last those felicitous traits of ex pression, which illumined it when living "On iife itself she was so still and fair, That leath . with gentler aspect '.vi- ther'd there; As if she scarcely felt, but feign'd a sleCD. And made it almost mockery yet to ween. H, who hath bent him o'er the (lend Ere the first day of death is fled, The first dark day of nothingness, The last oF danger and distress, (Before decay's effacing fingers Have swept the lines where beau ty lingers,; And mark'd the mild angelic air, The ranture of r-pose that's there, And fiyV vet te.mer traits mat 311 - The languor cf the placid chec Sti r (Some moments, ay, one treache rous hour, He still might doubt the tyrant's power; So fair, so, calm, so softly seal'd, The first, last look by death re veal'd; Expression's last receding ray, A gilded halo hovering rou-id de cav. The farewell beam of feeling past away!" I gazed upon that aspect with out alarm, for I read in its atti tude the moral of her life, and almost fancied that I still com muned with an animated being', but for the sad and shroudetj eye, I yet had doubted whether her spirit had flown "Oh ! o'er the eye death most ex erts his might, And hurls the spirit from her throne of light!" Sainted spirit! fare thee well--'-"therc have been tears and bursting hearts for thee:" and mine, though riven with its own afflictions, hath bled, and would have died for thee "Farewell! a wold that must be, and hath been A sound which makes us linger; yet farewell!" 'From lisping infancy, to stoop wig age," all praise and pray lor thee, "bnlnvpfi w n p lii-m.r and revered now scone." For the FreePress. r "An honest man's the noblest work of God." So frail and so feeble is the organisation of man, his march ouch hie liable to be ob structed hy such a varietv of casualties, that in the ordinary occurrences 'of mortality, when deth lays low the undistin guished and the ignoble, the e vent is regarded neither with sympathy nor surprise; but when tho grim and surlv mon ster, strikes down a bein of superior order: when hi hl jancl icy fingers aro placed nnon ncart, in which the noblest and best affections of humanity glow and harmonise toecstacv: when under the influence of his . . . " palsying touch, such a heart abjruishes and dissolves, we all feel, deeply feel, and respond to the stroke. .Such was the ca tastrophe, in the late dissolution of 'our worthy and beloved fel low-citizen, Jacob S. At.so- brook; a man whose character claimed and received the hom age of all hearts; whose "life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him. that Nature might stand un and sav to all the World, that was a man" he was no snlendid and com manding crenius. hut the softer O 0 .T and the' kindlier virtues were his,' and of him it may be truly said, he lived without reproach, and died without a fault.

' "Like the dew on the mountain, Like the foam on the river, Like the bubble on the fountain, Ht is gone, and forever." Peace to thy mild and generous spirit; angels will visit the scene of thv renose. and if aught divine can weep, will hal low the spot with their tears." Farewell! if ever fondest prayer, Fir other's weal avail'd on high, Atinc will not all be lost in air, Rnt wnft thu nttnip hevnnd the 'jJwere vain to speak, to weep, to I sigh, O!imore than tears of blood can tell, When wrung from guilt's expiring eyt', Are in that word, farcvjell! fare ' veil!.'

The fol owing item of political news relative to Greece may be con sidered the only one to which importance attaches: It is stated in the Paris Etoilc of the 14th of July, but upon what authority does not appear, that after the taking of Navari no, a division of the Egyptian army penetrated into the coun try, and gained some advan tages over the Greeks but being surprised in a defile by Coloco trorii, it wis defeated and re pulsed in disorder towards Mo ,. don.
