OBITU ARY RECORD.
"In the midst of life we are in death."
DIED, In this borough, on Sunday last.
MARGERY M'MURTRIE, in the 30th
year of her age,
[COMMUNICATED.]
Death has laid his icy hands on her whose
spirit has gone to that undiscovered country
from whose b sum no traveller returns. By
•this severe dispensation, the bright hopes of
life were suddenly blighted, and although
the weeping eye and sighing heart may f •nd
ly cling around the grave of the deceased,
yet the remembrance of her memory and
virtues will be a som•ce of pleasing reflectiot,.
She whose death hos cast so deep a gloom
u'er a large circle of relatives and friends
was beloved for whatever is amiable in fe
male character.—She whose remains have
been committed to the cold and silent tomb,
vas highly esteemed, not only for her good
item of heart, but also for her early and warm
embrace of christianity. Religion was her,
sole hope., supported by it, site submitted with
jhristlau resignation go The pains of a long
and !ilgeriiig illness If tranquility of mind
and a sCring assurance that religion is the
one thing neecintl, be any evidence that the
brightness of the future world beamed upon
her soul, then may we fondly hope that her
spirit has winged its flight to a brighter state
of existence.
