Saved from sin and sorrow, the sinless spirit flies; / To hail a bright tomorrow, with loved ones in the skies./ Where pure and radiant angels, in tenderness most sweet; / Love's holiest evangels, shall make its joys complete.
Oh! sorrowing hearts and bleeding, where er you rest or roam, / Their love-winged feet are speeding, to draw you to their home. / The home of love supernal, by life's bright rolling river, / Around the throne eternal, to live and love forever.

Death
About four o'clock Tuesday afternoon, 1st inst., Miss Annette Campbell of Toddsville [Otsego Co. NY] while fixing the fire it is supposed, had her clothing ignited and before aid could be summoned, she was completely enveloped in flames. Upon removing her clothing, it was found that her breast and hips were burned to a crisp, and her back was so badly blistered that after a short time the skin came off entirely. Dr. Bassett was called about eight o'clock, but the sufferer was beyond successful medical treatment. All that could be done for her was an alleviation of pain. Dr. B. remained with her, doing what he might in mitigating the sufferings of the unfortunate woman, until eleven o'clock, when death came to her relief. Rep. & Dem.

Mr. Warren Martin's little children, consisting of a boy 6 years, a girl 9 years, and a boy 11 years old, were out playing in a sand bank near the Fair Ground in Harpersville [Broome Co. NY] when suddenly the bank caved down covering the little girl and oldest boy. For some time, they could talk and asked the little brother to dig them out, which he attempted to do, but finding it impossible he left for help, when the little girl remarked to the brother with her, "Brother has left us and we shall die here. We must pray to God that He'll save us." Help soon arrived and uncovered the children. Dr. Ezekiel Guy was called and succeeded in restoring the boy to life, but the angel spirit of the little girl had gone to a fairer clime. Thus, the fond parents who had taught their children to pray, had the fairest flower torn from their family vaise. Otego Record

By this providence in the prime of life, an affectionate wife, a kind mother, a beloved sister, and a Christian friend, has been transported to the land of bliss and large is the circle of mourning relatives and friends.
"Death may be terrible to some, / Whose treasures all on earth are laid; / But were it suddenly to come, / I would not shrink or be afraid.
What is this life, that I should cling / So fast upon its brittle thread? / And fear the summons that would bring / So great a gain when I am dead?
No-I am not afraid to die, / Unwelcome as the thought may be; / For Christ went by the grave on high, / And lighted up the way for me."
