DIED-

At the Rock River Seminary, Mt. Morris, Illinois, on Tuesday morning, the 9th of November, A.D. 1852, Miss Elizabeth Moriarty, aged 19 years, 6 months and 7 days.

This sudden bereavement has fallen sorrowfully upon our little family circle. Our dear departed sister intended to spend the winter at the above institution, but she has been summoned to a higher and holier sphere. Her ripening intellect gave flattering promise of future usefulness, had it been the will of the Divine Being that her life should be prolonged.

Favored by nature with an amiable disposition, she was beloved by all who knew her, and her early death will be deeply regretted by a large circle of sincere friends and their sympathies, we feel assured, will be kindly mingled with our sorrowing tears.

Miss Moriarty was a member of the M. E. Church, and a sincere and zealous laborer in the cause of Christ. She has been called to her rest in the eternal home-no sorrow enters there, nor even a dream of pain. There are no breaking hearts in the mansions on high-nor lonely firesides there, but the souls that have won that holy rest, shall smile forever.
