The iwo younger daughters, Muses Millie aud Jennie, are still at home, und it was their mother's desire and hope to live to see them enjoy the same privileges of education as her other children. Mre. McCjII will live d her children to be a blessing to niany generations. She was a lady 01 retiriug disposition, and of few word?, but her force of character was an inspiradon to all who knew her. Her life was truly a Cnristian ministry free trom parade or show. She was a woman of remarkable endurance, never having any necessity for the aid of a phvsician from the time of her marriage until stricken with the disease which proved fatal last Sunday morniDg. She died of the same uilmeut of which her twin sister, Mrs. James McColl, died twenty-five years ago. She began Christian life in early womauhood and continued laithful to its principies to the end and haying finished her course, we cnnot say anythiug m re fitting than that wbich is ixpresse.l in Phil. 1 and 21, "And to die is gaiü."
