OBITUARY.

Miss Callie Goudchaux, aged 19 years, died at the residence of her father in 
Big Cane, in this parish, on Friday the 14 inst., after a lingering illness 
which she bore with great patience and fortitude. At a proper age she had been 
placed in Mrs. Hayes' female Institute in this place where she remained until 
her graduation. Her life while there, was all that could have been desired. 
Faithful and apt in her studies, - affable, kind and gentle in her manners, she 
won the admiration of her teachers and the attachment of all the inmates of the 
Institute. In all the rounds of the social circle in which she moved, no young 
lady was more admired. By her quiet and gentle demeanor, even when moving round 
in "pleasure's ring," all her actions served to illustrate the graces of female 
character, and to lend to society its highest taste.

By her care-eluding art and by her faithful devotion to her father, she had 
become to him, the fairest of her sex, -the solace of his toils. Perhaps he had 
become even too idolarous, was why an inscrutable Providence dethroned and took 
her from him. In her early death society is made a great loser, whilst 
acquaintances, associates, friends, a fond father, and loving kindred, weep as 
they reflect and realize that her visible loveliness shall never more cheer and 
gladden their hearts.

We tender our sympathies to all and particularly to those who most of all loved 
the departed one, and yet we know that, - "Tis impotent to grieve for what is 
past, And unavailing to exclaim."

It must suffice for mortals to know that God does all things right and for the 
best. That the "fitful dream of life," will soon be over with all of us, and 
that we may be united on the Eternal shore where grief and sorrow cannot enter 
and a life of bliss be endless.
