New York. which was the ()right of this General Assembly;'

It may well be said of the deceased, " A mother in 'mud,"
indeed, hes been called to her reward. Though for many
years seriously exercised on the subject of religion, owing,
in some measure, to the state of the Presbyterianchurch in
Huntingdon, she did not becomes member until after the
installation of the late Rev. John reeblee, In 1826, as pastor.
Her life afforded clear evidence of the genuineness of her
profession, by her uniform consistency of Christian charm.

death. She considered herself a subject of special grace.
The means employed by her heavenly Father—domestic
affliction—the death of children. These afflictions " worked

of her character, the portraiture might, to strangers, have
the appearance of fiction, or too highly colored eulogy. Her
most prominent characteristics were, a constant regard for
the affairs of the Church, both temporal and spiritual, con

the cause of Foreign and Domestic Missions, and all Institu

poor, the silk and. filleted, Wand unostentatistua hospitality:

' The Oeolokical Works of 'Thigh Miller have 451i:tied the
greatest among scientific men, Ant aim
among general readers. There is in them a freshness of
conception, a:power of argumentation; a depth of °thought,
II purity of feeling, rarely „met. with in works of that char
acter. . . . But what le in a great 'degree pecollaCtO our
author, is the successful combination of Christkurdoetrines
with pure scientific truths "
From Rev Thome/ Chalmers, D.D , LL.D.:
u Since the death of Bic Wilter.Scott; he (RUgh Miller) is
the greatest Bootchman that is left."
Prom Sir David Brewster, LLD., F.R.5..:
"Among the efninent "gthdents of tbe'strircture of the
earth, Mr. Hugh Miller holds a lofty place, not merely from
the discovery of new and Indescribed organisms in the Old
Red Satidetone, but frOm•the accuracy and beauty Of his de
ecriptlone, the purity and elegance of his coopoeitions, and
the high tone of philosophy end religion which distinguishes
all Ida writings. . . With the exception.or Burns, the
nnedricated genius which has done honor to Scotland during
the last century has never 'displayed that mental refinement,
and classical taste, and I: tellecteni energy, which mark all
the' writinge of 'our itithirrit. • ' •

descriptions of Hugh Miller, , That wonderfulman describe.
these objects with alacility which makes me ashamed of
tho comparative meagreness ant poverty of my own de
scriptions in the • Bridgewater Treatise,' which cost me
hours and days of labor. Z would give my left hand to pos

pleases Providence to spare his useful life, he, if any one,
will certainly render science attractive and popular, and do
equal service to Theology and Geology."

From Rev. William Minns, LL.D.:
"He sncieeded 1n placing his name in the first rank of
British scientific writers and thinkers. His wrirks arechar•
acterized by a fine union of. strict science, classic diction,
