As soon as we were ushered into her presence we felt the magic influence as of one whose natural purity and goodness, rendered more potent by the chastening hand of affliction, could inspire all around her with love and admiration of her beautiful character. She was the idol of her family, the fav- orite of a large circle of friends at her late home in Lansing, Iowa, which she had given up, with all its comforts and pleasant surroundings, to join her husband in making a new home in the young West. But alas, how uncertain are our most cherished hopes! She reached Lincoln overcome by her trip and was soon prostrated upon a bed of sickness. After a few days of patient suffering, in which she exhibited in a most remarkable degree those christian virtues which alone can make us happy, either in the midst of life or in death, and God, that God in whom she had trusted all her life, claimed her for his own. As she lived, so she died, falling asleep "Calmly as to a night's repose "Like flowers at set of sun," while her gentle spirit was wafted to the God who gave it. To the bereaved husband and daughter of the deceased, and to those absent ones whose sad fate it is to mourn the lost of their darling mother, the author of this would tender the offering of sympathy from their friends in Lincoln. Would they meed her hereafter, let them, as she did, "live the life of the righteous," that like her, "Sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams." Her last moments were relieved and cheered by the attention of many good friends of the family in Lincoln and a larlge concourse of our kind hearted citizens followed her to her last resting place in the new cemetery. A Friend.
