W are here to pay the last tribute of respect to
COT departed friend. The circumstance Attend
Soc the deAth of the loredne we mourn were
certainly very peculiar,' And the Announcement of
the fAet Itself was calculated to shock the comma
Bit, And paitlcaWly those standing in near rela
tionship to the' deceased. Blnce, however, we
Cisy not choojMj the manner-of our , decease, nor
order ita Attending' circumstances,' may we not
bid our hearts be still respecting the, event itself
And all matters connected with it, and, with full
Confidence In the wisdom And loving kindness of
oar heavenly Father, rest in the Assurance that it
is well ordered And wisely fdr all concerned 7
Death, in this Instance was very sudden, and
slrlystsrtllng lu 1U unejiMtedness. Thesum-
mons came without the least previous nonce, ami
" illustrates most forcibly the declaration of our
. Lord, "Watch, therefore, for ye know neither the
. day nor the hour wherein, the Bon of Man com
th." In the enjoy meot of usual health and of
excellent spirits ; without .premonition or warn
ing of Its approach ; without Any of the ordinary
circumstances ttndtngeTreiceor-lndlcAt
Inf the purpose of the VKIng of Terrors, she
literally fell asleep "Asleep in Jesus," may 'we
not readily believe, to awake in the light and
jfloryof heaven And to be satisfied with the like
ness and In the immediate presence of her divine
Sartor? And what a striking lesaon do we learn
here of the Absolute necessity of Immediate And
Complete preparation for death and the Judgment
day. It furnishes a forcible commentary on An
other of the sayings of our Lord, "Be ye Also
ready, for in such An hour as ye think not the Bon
- Of llAA nmh.M , "
The messenger of deAth came to her while en
gaged !i a ministry of mercy. Watching with
the sick, And warding off, as best she couldlhe
dADger threatening her friend and relative, she
furnishes in herself a shining mark for the quiver
drawn with unerring aim. Hhe Is standing At her
post, performing the duty of a sentinel, doing the
lodlnut Assigned her, wheirihe Ti called Vy
Avolce, that disturbs not In the lesst the silence of
the night not startles In any way her own sensi
tive organization, to come up higher and rest from
the care And toil of earth in the peace of heaven,
in the love of GodrJesus, whose disciple she was,
And In whose steps she was following, must needs
be About his Father's business while he lived here
in the world. "It was his meat Arid his' drink to
do the will of his Father and finish his work.'1
His' career was devoted to a ministry of love,
Yott And I Are reminded to-day that we are to be
employed In service for the Master, doing good as
we have opportunity, the rule being "diligent In
business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord."
Death found her Away from her home and sep
arated from her family, a part of whom were at
borne end a partmong friends Ina neighboring
City, but All utterly unconscious of the black
shadow following her so closely, And all equally
InApprehensIve of the blow so soon to strike, and
"Wow -Uriah lu the ground 'so
wished hopesrHh went out on the evening of her
deAth of her own Accord, And to a tAsk of her own
Choosing. The place and work were of her own
selection, and were in entire keeping with Chrls
tlsn conduct? and here It was that death found
"Tier. , AndTsl fliot weir? Could h u man wisdom
have planned it better? In your recollection of
Other friends who have gone to the "unseen city,"
Are there any or, at any rate, are there, many
Woo have crowed over where the circumstances,
tAken an In al were so favorable ?
Death, then, may Arid us anywhere and in anv
service, doing good or doing evil. Happy are
they who, pure in heart and upright in life, are
found where they ought to be, doing such work
AS Ood calls them to, though widely separated
Irom. those they love best. The great lesson of all,
then, Is that we should always live in readiness
for. death. ' .
"Brethren, the time Is short" time In comnari-
jon with eternity, over whose borderejnust
Aoon pass ana particularly the time of our natu-
raJLiue. n is as -a nrcAm-whu cue alooketih
"II Is as a shadow which contiuUeth not." "It is
the night of a bird, the' passage of-the weaver's
shuttle In consideration of this fact, "it re
mAlnetbiV salth the Apostle, "that both they who
hare wlvesbe as though they had "none ; and they
who weop as though they wept not; and they
who rejoice as though they rejoiced not ; and they
who buy as though they tnssescd not ; and they
who use. this world as not abusing IU For the
fashion of this world iaseth away."
. .Even the most Intimate and endeared of earthly
relationships -the acred union of -4usbaiid-And
' wife should be entered into and continued under
An ever Abiding sense of the liability of Its speedy
dissolution. The same consideration shouldimod
erate our grief as well as our Joy. Our friends die
And Are removed from our sight The objects of
fond endearment are taken away to return no
more. And we weep for them, and Nature her
tlf bids us weep; but we should not yield our-

Assist us In putting a proper estimate on All
earthly possessions, and should dispose us to hold
end use them as the stewards of Ood, And who ere
responsible to Him for An early settlement; and
the reason assigned for All this for thus, viewing
life and conducting ourselves in the various cir
cumstances of It is, "For the fashion of this world
pAsseth away." Like the shifting scene of the
drama which Is put on the stage lo pass quickly
from It and be succeeded by another, so with the
drama of human life.- It Is. brief In duration, Its
form Is aV illusion, And it Is. subject in Its very
nature to sudden end opposite vicissitudes.' We
should pass through it with all its relationships,
however Intimate, and Its griefs and oys, how
ever heartfelt and real, and with ah its interests,
however nearly affecting our welfare, in complete
subordination to our God and the higher and bet
ter Interests of heaven and the eternal world.

All that Is here left us of our late and dearly' be
loved friend Is the mortal body. We have still
the clay tenement, but Its occupant Is gone. The
casket is stljl here, but the jewel has been taken
to adorn a crown, to dazzle and blaze in undimmed
luster forever. Husband, children, sisters, broth
ers, friends of her who is gone, I commend to you
the God she worshipped, the Baylor whom she
trusted and endeavored to follow, and the religion
of Jesus which was the solace of her heart ; end In
this presence, before God, sod on the verge of the
open grave, I "adjure you to receive4 Jesus Into
your hearts, and to consecrate your lives to His
service. Bring all your trouble to Him In entire
confidence and submission, and be assured Of His

.A WOMAN IWKfrmiL.
: From the Western' Gasette, ah English psper.l
An exceptional woman received a well-won ap
pointment the other day1 In New York, when
Mrs. Annie E. WJlson was made inspect ress of
the New York Custom House. Born In the Bay
of Bengal, and reared on shipboard, she married a
Boston captain when 14 years of age. For' seven
years, this child of the ocean continued to sail the
seas by her husband's side without Accident; but
In 1872 their vessel waS struck by a storm on the
banks of Newfoundland. The captain, her hus
band, had his shoulder blade broken by the fall of
a mast, and the first mate and a part of the crew
were also disabled. The second mate gave way to
panic No sooner, however, bed the jcaptaln been
carried down, lashed on a door, to the cabin, than
his wife, then a woman of one-ahd-twenty, hur
ried on deck. "Boys," she said,' "our lives are In
danger. et us stick together and all of ::ug work
with a will. I will take mv iiin'"'"1'' p1"

cleared off the wreckage, manned the pumps, and
succeeded In weathering the gale. After It sub
sided they rigged up a Jury mast, put the ship be
fore the wind, and 'went to r?t. Thomas, which
they reached In 21 days. After repairs, the in
domltable woman, fluding her husband was stilf
helpless, navigated the ship to Liverpool, making
the voyage without-eccldent In 30 days.' Her
husband was never able to resume work, and for
seven years She kept him and her child by work
ing as a clerk In a dry goods storeTTEIght months
ago her husband died. This jnonth Secretary
Sherman appointed Mrs. Wilson, who Is not yet
3(1, to an Inspectorship of the New York Custom
House. .
