OBITUARY.
Died on the night of the 12th inst., of sore throat, in her fourth year, Maria, daughter of Barnard E. Bee, secretary of war.-This infant had just landed on our shores (accompanied by her mother from South Carolina, when it pleased the almighty disposer of events, thus early to close her career.-"Chaste as morning dew, She sparkled, was exhaled, and went to heaven."
Education had already made lovely (even to strangers) this early victim of the grave-she was extremely interesting to the numerous passengers who came in company with her on board the steamer, Columbia, from Charleston to the port of Galveston. She sleeps in a strange land, but not foreign to the fountain of universal life and immortality. Her suffering parents cannot be otherwise than deeply afflicted by this melancholy bereavement. In the green hour of grief, consolation from man has but little peace to bestow-comfort for them must come from a higher source.
