All the sympathetic affections seemed to centre in her benevolent soul. Her attention and liberality to the poor were perhaps equalled by few and excellent by none. At the same time this injunction of our Lord "Let not thy right hand know what thy left hand doeth" was the motto of her charity. She exhibited a distinguished pattern of prudence, industry and economy, was a true friend of her country and a great encourager of its manufacturers. Her whole life was adorned with the profession and practice of Christianity, and was not less remarkable for humility and piety toward God. The benevolence towards men. Her last illness which was a lung fever brought in by influenza, she endured with this patience and resignation to Heaven, which results from conscious integrity and faith in the Redeemer.
