Died:  In Smithville [Chenango Co., NY], on the 8th inst., Mrs. Catharine M. Henry, aged 53 years.  The deceased was a long and patient sufferer from a severe and lingering disease.  It was evident to herself some time before her departure that death was inevitable, and she dreaded not his summons.  Of a naturally amiable disposition, indulgent to her children, gentle and affectionate in all the relations of life, she has left a chasm in the household circle never again to be filled.  Beloved by all who knew her, many gathered to her funeral to testify their sympathy and respect.  Seldom have we witnessed so long a funeral train as wound its way to the church, and grave, whither her remains were borne; seldom have we so much felt the joy which brightens the grave in the hopeful doctrine of the Resurrection, as on that occasion the eye stretched over the chequered beauty of the autumn foliage in the brilliancy of its decay.  Such is the Christian's "loveliness in death, / That parts not quite with parting breath; / But beauty with that fearful bloom, / That hue which haunts it to the tomb, / Expression's last receding ray, / A gilded halo hovering round decay, / The farewell beam of feeling past away; / Spark of that flame, perchance of heavenly birth / Which gleams, but warms no more it cherished earth."
