Annie, oldest daughter of Capt. J. Wool.
our esteemed townsman, departed this
life last evening, the 5th, at J:4o in the
17th year of her age. Though youug.
she had an established ohai a ter which
v as full of loveliness and worthy of
praise. In all the walks of her tender
lie she was faithful. As a daughter
and child she was most dutiful; as a
siter, she was affectionate and good,
n I isa Christian, she was ever found
a willing discharge of duty to God, her
:hurch and to those amongst whom she
nfid be.jn specially called by a seuse of
duty to cast her lot. From her death
comes a sadness that pervades the entire
ommuuityaud fills all hearts with
deepest emotions. Such was o.tr
in her Christian character we are
pared to say to the bereTt:
Lift not thou the willing voice,
Weep not; tis a Christian dieth;
Up, where blessed saints rejoice,
Ransomed now, the spirit flieth:
High in heaven ""s own light hedwellerh :
Full the song of triumph swelleth;
Freed from earth, and eatthly tailing,
Lift for her no voice of wailing.
