DIED—At Lenox, on the 20th of May, Mrs. Tryphena, the worthy consort of Mr. Eliphalet Spencer, aged 72 years, after a lingering illness of more than two years. During the whole of her sickness she manifested a truly christian resignation, and seemed to possess that unshaken fortitude, which a firm reliance on an Almighty Supporter, has a tendency to produce. She was a firm believer in Universal Salvation, for thirty years before her death. She was frequently questioned during her last illness, by both the opposers and friends of her faith, concerning the steadfastness of her mind, and she gave satisfaction to all, that she was sincere in her belief.
In her death her husband lost an amiable and affectionate companion, her offspring lost a tender and prudent mother, and society and religion an ornament. She was a woman of superior intelligence and great strength of mind. She died without a struggle and seemed sweetly to fall asleep. Her calm and reconciled state of mind, which was conspicuous to the very last moments of her life, may well be compared to the setting sun, where there is not a cloud to hide its brightness, when he retired from our view, to rise in a more glorious and happy morn.—Communicated.
