"Love! Who interced'st in heaven
For my soul, when I'm oppress'd

Then she, with a loud voice, and a peculiar emphasis added the two last lines:

"Love Almightly, and divine!

On the 25th of October in the morning she appeared to fall asleep, and so she continued without a struggle, her breathing by degrees becoming weaker, till 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when after having had a solemn prayer offered up in her behalf, and having received the last blessing, her Spirit gently exchanged the tenement of clay, for the celestial mansions prepared for her from all eternity by the Saviour of her soul, who she so dearly loved.

Her age was 68 years 9 months and 5 days.

The friends and relatives of the dear deceased, take this opportunity to express their thanks to all those who kindly offered their assistance during her last illness; and especially for the faithful and untiring exertions of her Physicians.
