her tenderly beloved husband were: "All is well:" and again,
shortly before the final close: "My foundation is on the Rock;" that Rock, we
undoubtingly believe, which "no tempest overthrows."

The sudden death, by Cholera, of this dear young friend, caused at the time a very lively
emotion among a wide circle of friends. She was the only and much beloved child of her
bereaved parents;--naturally of a most amiable disposition, and of that lively
temperament which gives a peculiar zest to life and all its passing enjoyments, she
diffused around her somewhat of the buoyancy and sunshine which seemed ever to attend
her own steps. Thus attractive and admired, and drinking largely of the cup of present
pleasures, the thoughts of the future appear to have had but little place in her mind. In a
state of excellent health, she had gone to Mountmelick to pass a few weeks with some
near relatives, when she was seized with the disorder which, in a few hours, closed her
life. Those hours were passed in much bodily suffering, but sorer still were the conflicts
of her mind. The scales which had prevented her from seeing the real worth of life and
the awful realities of the future, at once fell from her eyes, and she saw or rather felt with
indescribable clearness, that the great truths which appertain to the welfare of the soul
belong alike to the young and the healthy, to the sick and the dying. She saw that she had
been living to herself and not to God, and this, whatever particulars she might lament,
was the heavy burden of her awakened spirit. In the depths of contrition, and in the
earnestness of faith, she was enabled to pray to her heavenly Father, and Saviour, to draw
near and to have mercy upon her.
Thus passed some hours never to be forgotten. The rapid progress of her disease hardly

allowed time for much further mental exercise or expression. She sank into a state of
quietude of body and of mind. And when all was over, the sorrowing parents were
condoled in the hope, that the prayers of their beloved child had been heard, through the
mercy of Him who never turned away his ear from the truly repentant suppliant.
What lessons does this brief narrative offer to survivors. Awfully does it speak to the
children of pleasure, of the inestimable value of the soul--of the importance of time--of
the folly of living in forgetfulness of God, and unmindful of their high destiny as
immortal beings. What a light does it throw on the responsibility of parents; and whilst
affording no encouragement to delay in the hope of a death-bed repentance, what a view
does it open of the infinite mercy of our heavenly Father in Christ Jesus.
