Thero was laid aw.-ty in Forest Hill Cemetery gunday aitomoon, one of llie feood women of this earth. Miss Mary D. Beers was as near faultless as it is possible ïor human beings to be. Her life was paire, simple, uuiet. Not a partiële of jcaloiisy ,of 1110rosemess or revenge ever enteren her mind. Shc was biest with a disposition as swect as the nectar that the bees and batterflies sip from the bloom of the clover fields, and tlie influence oí her life was as fcagrant witai kindness, with charïty and with blessings, as were the wealtli oif beautiful roses that surroiinded her casket, with odors pleasamt to the senses. One fcannot think of lier life, and the fcalm, Kweet fipirit that anima ted it, vittout instinictiviely turning to the Saviooir, who bore all trials and ordeals 'without a murmur, but with praises oi God upom His lips, so great was the o've He bore to all mankind. lier ways were ttraly ways of love, and her path through life was a pathway f peace. Tliose who knew her mourn the toss of a true and sympathizing (friend, and her absence from the home she has ha.d for tlie ])ast two decades, will be missed beyood coneeption. Siich spirits, such iives, sweeten. BO'athe an,d mate endurable the troublous paths of many otlier Uves with who.m tli y coiné in contact. Tlvey are the laven placed here amd thiere among tlie human family to iiemieate by their influence ther Iives with Hwcotness. Her light has gome out, but its i ays will lighten the paths others liave to tread, until the end is reached. Her spirit has pased away, bat its kimd, sweet iafluence will remain as loiug as tíiose remain who were touched Ty it.
