to recommend Immanuel and his religion with her latest breath, to all around her. The family informed me, that she called them all up into her chamber the day before, that they might unite with her, in praising and glorifying God for his mercy. "I have been my dears," said she to them, "upon Pisgah. I have had a view of the land of promise. I want the tongue of Gabriel. O! if I had the tongues of a thousand Gabriels, I should be unable to express, what I have seen and felt."

Tuesday, April 5th. "I have had," said she, "a poor day. I feel uneasy and restless in every situation: "my bed refuses to comfort me." I hope I shall net be left to repining thoughts. I desire to be resigned to my heavenly Father's will, and to endure chastising as a child. O! if I am but purified, and made meet for his glorious presence, it will be enough: I ask no more." memory had failed very much, since my last visit. She thought it was the sabbath; and every few moments, made some inquiries accordingly. After having been repeatedly told of her mistake,

Her

she said, "well, it has been a sabbath, I trust, to me; and that may be the reason of my impression. He who walketh in the midst of the golden candlesticks, has drawn near to my soul; and enabled me to say, it is good to be here. All places are alike, and each one a Bethel, where God is."

The following sabbath, I found her sitting in her chair; but extremely feeble. It seemed an effort for her to speak a single word: yet "the abundance of her heart," would not suffer her to be silent. The crucifixion of Christ employed her thoughts: and, as if apprehending her memory to be more defective than it was, she made frequent inquiries respecting the circum stances of that wonderful scene. "Was not Joseph of Arimathea," said she, "an honorable counsellor?" On being answered in the affirmative, she added"And what an honor was conferred upon him, in having the body of the Blessed Jesus to perfume his tomb!" A few moments after-"My time here must be very short. I felt this morning, as if I should not live till night: but the

Lord lives, and will live, blessed be my rock; and let the horn of my salvation be exalted.” After another interval"I long to hear you pray; but I am afraid to ask you; after the labors of the day, you must be fatigued. But I hope God will strengthen you as your duties increase, and make you a polished shaft in his quiver." Prayer being concluded "Oh!" exclaimed she, in allusion to something said in it respecting Christ, "what a precious corner-stone--what a sure foundation is that! 'Tis the only basis of my hopes; 'tis the only ground of my glorying."

"While Jews on their own law rely,

And Greeks of wisdom boast;
I love the incarnate mystery,
And there I fix my trust.'

One of the family speaking of a neighbor who was sick, she desired that a part of some oranges which had been given her the day before, might be sent to him. "He needs them," said she, "more than I do. Besides, if I should want more, I shall be supplied. He who hath said-Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things

A

shall be added unto you, will not let me want any thing really necessary. He has raised me up many friends, who seem to vie with each other in the distribution of his bounty. I cannot recompense them : but they shall be recompensed at the fesurrection of the just. The good Lord reward them an hundred fold into their own bosom." Wednesday, April 10. "I find you madam," said I, "once more, among the living." "Yes," was her reply, “and among the living I hope to be found, when these eyes are closed in death : for Christ liveth in me; and because he lives, forever lives, I shall live also-live to behold his glory, and to be satisfied with his likeness. I hope I shall be willing to wait God's time, and to suffer God's will. I believe that I am. God early called me by his grace; and since that never to be forgotten season, though I have been visited with many trials, I have never been left to murmur against him. And shall I begin now, when he is thus kindly disengaging me from the world, and letting me down so gently to the grave? O! no. I do rejoice that the Lord God

Omnipotent reigns-that I am in his hand, as the clay is in the hand of the potter. He can do no wrong; and all that he does is for the best." Appearing to be exhausted with talking, one of the family put a glass of wine to her lips, requesting her to drink it. "Let me take it in my own hands," said she, extending one of her arms and raising herself upon the elbow of the other. Then rolling her almost sightless eyeballs towards heaven, she said, "as I now take this natural wine, for the nourishment of my poor decaying body, so may my soul be eternally refreshed with that newwine, which Jesus has prepared for his people in his heavenly kingdom. Grant this, O merciful Savior, and grant the same blessing to us all, amen."

I visited her again the next sabbath evening; when the family informed me, that for an hour and a half during the interval of divine service, she was in a state of transport, far exceeding any thing they had ever seen, or heard of. At one time, rendering praises to God, in the most exalted strains, for her spir
