      m the last Number , p . 121 . ) In both cases a large circle of relatives and near friends had to experience the same sorrows , and they shared jn the same consolations . None who knew Mrs . Estlin ^ intimately , " can cease to mourn her loss . Her mild humility , her simplicity and uprightness , her steady and

      discriminating judgment , and her rational and influential piety , and well-disciplined affections , formed a character unusually matured , and enabled her to fill up well the gelations of wife and mother , daughter , sister and friend . Religious conscientiousness formed the main-spring of her conduct and self-culture ; and with this ,

      which gave her the firmness of duty , and prepared her for its higher and more extraordinary exercises , she blended the mild graces of the female character , its thoughtful kindness , its tenderness and its gentleness ; and these made her more useful and more respected , as well as more the object of heartfelt affection . —

      The principles' which gave such stability and value to her virtues , which shed their influences on the sources of happiness and comfort , chastening without weakening , directing without interrupting them , and which made her view the world , as the Christian should view it , in its relations to another state of being , enabled her to meet death with a collected

      composure , a peaceful hope , a tender concern for the best interests of others , a stead-Fast trust and filial resignation , which could not but aid the lessons of her life , and which were alike affecting , encouraging and consolatory . One is deprived of her watchful , judicious care and guidance , who is too young to know her own

      calamity . She held her child as a trust ; and by express act , as well as in the daily offering of the heart , devoted her to her heavenly Father . May he who shared in her ' pious cares , be enabled so to fulfil their mutual purposes aud most earnest desires , that when the separation is finally

      ended , ( which to her , as she said , " is faut for a moment , " ) she may $ ee them fully realized . —Her religious sentiments were those of Unitarianism , which she embraced from conviction , after a aerious search inXo the records of revelation ; and ahe manifested an in cream tig satisfaction in their truth , and in their

      efficacy and value . It is refreshing , in these days of excitement on the one hand , and of indifference ou the other ,, to witucss tha simplicity antl ruliu influential piety of the gospel .
