OBITUARY.
DIED, at Spring Bank, Wayne County, on the 15th instant, in the 18th year of her age, Miss SARAH H. eldest daughter of Genl. Nicholson Washington.
In recording the death of this amiable and exemplary young lady, language fails to speak her eluogium.
Though the mysterious dispensations of an all-wise Providence had subjected her to a lingering and protracted illness -- yet with an uncomplaining resignation to his divine power and goodness, supported by the hopes of christianity, and buoyed by that “grace which tunes the harps of Heaven,” she patiently awaited the period of her departure, when she might “go away and be at rest.”
The afflictive bereavement to affectionate parents, relatives and friends, cannot be diminished by the consoling certainty that she’s gone --
Where holy souls perpetual sabbaths keep,
And never are concern’d for food or sleep;
Where flaming scraphs sacred hymns begin,
And raptur’d cherubs loud responses sing.
