Mar. 12--In New York City, Virginia A., daughter of Egbert Mills, aged 2 yrs.

Mar. 5--In Raisin, Michigan, Gabriel Wells, in his 61st year; and on the following day, Maria, his wife, aged 54 yrs.

Mr. and Mrs. Wells were among the earliest immigrants who settled in the neighborhood where they resided, having removed thither some twenty years since, from Middletown, Orange Co., N. Y. As citizens they were ever and widely esteemed among the most worthy and useful. They were distinguished for good sense, kind feeling, peaceful habits, social integrity, and above all, for the fear of God. They walked together as mutual heirs of the same divine faith, and the same immortal hope. Over a family of seven children they presided with great prudence and parental affection. To the same covenant-keeping God in whom they believed, in whose service they experienced the richest enjoyment, and on whose promises they relied for every future good, they early conscrated their beloved offspring. Having, in prosperity and adversity, enjoyed the supports of the Chrisitan religion, and witnessed the benign influence upon five of their children, they had for some time cherished a presentiment that their work on earth was well-nigh complete. Thus impressed, they hoped that it might be the will of Heaven that they should pass away before any of their children were laid in the grave, and so it proved. After some months of feeble health, Mr. Wells found relief in death? Mr. W., who had been ill but a few days, immediately showed symptoms of fast-decaying strength, and on the next day was once more with her beloved husband, over death victorious, on the mount of God triumphant. "Lovely and pleasant in their lives, in death they were not divided." On the Sabbath, a large circle of friends and neighbors laid them together in the same silent grave, and wept tears of regret for loved ones departed, of gratitude for that Gospel which sheds the light of immortality on the home of the dead.

"No more, O pale Destroyer, boast

Thy universal sway;

To heaven-obrn souls thy sting is lost---

Thy night, the gate of the day."

---Tecumseh (Mich.) Herald.
