Higbee. Departed this life on Friday, the 1st instant, Mary S.T., wife of Rev. Edward Y. Higbee, of this city. Early imbued with a sense of her indebtedness to her Savior, and of her lost condition, without an interest in Christ, the deceased gladly yielded a youthful heart to the service of her God. The beloved one of gay companions, and the participant of their joys, she compared these with her soul's immortal interests; and weighing them in the balance of gospel truth soon chose "that better part which can never be taken away." Naturally amiable, and without guile, most lovely and attractive was her character as a Christian. Strong was the tie that has been severed; but, bereaved husband and friends, thanks be to God, "ye sorrow not as those who have no hope." The short pilgrimage of your loved one is ended; but, with the eye of faith, view her, sweetly reposing in the Paradise of God. At the same time, Edward, infant son of Edward Y. and Mary S.T. Higbee.
