    Mrs . Mary Bkistowb . July 17 , at Ringwoody Hants , universally lamented , aged 38 years , Mary , fbe beloved wife of the Rev . J . B . Bristowe , which endearing relation she had

    sustained barely fifteen weeks . A bilious fever , which neither the power of medicine , the tears of affection , nor the prayers of piety , could subdue or arrest , carried her , in ten days , to the land of silence and of death . Of this excellent

    woman it may be Justly affirmed , that she was rationally pious and devout towards her Maker ; humane and charitable to the poor ; and governed in all her deportment by a high sense of moral and religions obligation . Affable m her manners , and alive to the deprivations of fcne humbler part of mankind , especially at the time of sickness , she promptly arid In various ways administered to theft

    wants ; and , in return , she was greatly beloved and is deeply regretted by them . She might have appropriated to herself , wMb great troth , a line in Virgil : ** Nbn ignara mail , miseris- snccurrere disco . " She was zealous for the prosperity , and delighted at the recent increase , of the congregation ; and which has been attributed , in some measure , to the moral influence which her character and

    example , and the esteem in which she was held , naturally threw aronnd her ; but another cause * lent Its aid in the good work . Had it pleased Divine Providence to prolong her life , there can be little doubt that she would have proved a very useful accession to the religious society with which sbe had become so

    intimately connected . She had formed a plan to visit the poor members regittarfy , with a view to ascertain their actual situations , ' intending to supply , from her own resources , or to procure from others , suitable relief : but the purposes of her heart were broken off , ana her very thoughts are perished .

    and still prayed , " that God would not > , fa iom Itefforitte her from the object of her affections , yet she was devoutly resigned to the Divine will . " In this happy frame of mind she continued till she , at last , sunk under a cRgeasewith

    which her delicate constitution was unable successfully to struggle , quietly and placidly leaving this scene of uncertain happiness in the prospect of one snore permanent hereafter . Her remains were deposited in the vault of her family in Riagwood churchyard , and the funeral service was impressively read by the officiating clergyman , himself deeply

    affected , having but a few short weeks before performed the marriage e&emomfy whea she appeared healthful , gay , and happy . An admirable discourse , i » which a merited tribute was paid to her virtues and benevolence , was delivered on the melancholy occasion to a very crowds and sympathising audience * ( inereasHf by the Independent minister

    Mr . John Davy . Aug . 15 , at his father ' s house , Fwctem * near Creditm , John , the second son of Isaac Davy , Esq . On the Sunday preceding the day of his decease , he had completed his 22 nd year . But , though removed thus early , he had lived sufficiently long to give every promise of a character of solid worth , and a life of amiable usefulness . He knew but the

    language of truth , and his word was a bond . The rectitude of his heart discovered itself in his conduct ; and the peace of an upright mind was stamped upon his brow . Worn down by the fatal malady , which endears while it bereaves , and beautifies what it destroys , his calm and manly resignation afforded a noble example of the ascendancy of the mind

    over a decaying frame . He died in his youth , but it was the death of thto righteous . With no blemish of vice , nnd every promise of virtue , he was called to that Being who alone can feriow for what purpose the good are thus prematurely removed from a world which might have been benefited by theiHabours , antfwade better by their example , ¦ < i ¦ , 4 H- ( di ^ J 4 ir 4 ^ \ l i , .
