DIED the 22nd ult. Mary Young, wife of John Fielding Young, in the 31st year of her age.
Thus has been taken away in the flower of life one whose many excellencies had endeared her to a large circle of relatives and friends, and whose early sudden death has left in many hearts an "aching void" never to be filled again on earth.—But a few days ago the family circle was gladdened by her presence, but now she is in eternity and that gladness is changed into gloom. The place that then knew her shall know her no more forever.
She left a babe too young to know its loss, and a husband too well acquainted with her worth to forget soon his bereavement. They had but just entered upon life together and the promise and hopes of the future were brightening before them, when in an unexpected hour death bared his icy arms, and her dust returned to the earth as it was, and her spirit to God who gave it.
"Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north winds breath,
And start to set— but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine, O Death."
But why should the bereaved husband give up to sorrow while he has reason to believe that his loss, is her infinite gain, that "Mary had chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her."
The deceased had been for many years a consistent and worthy member of the Presbyterian Church of Richmond. She loved the ordinances and cause of her Saviour and interested herself in the means of personal piety and the operations of the Church for the spread of Gospel truth. But she has left the Church militant, as we trust to join the Church triumphant, the scene of her labors and trials here, for the rest of Heaven, and the employments and satisfactions of the blessed. Let the afflicted family, and friends, and the Church of which she was a member, heed the solemn warning; "Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh."
