MISS FANNY APPLETON.
Entered into rest, July 19, 1870, FANNY, daughter of John A. and Serena P. Appleton, in the 17th year of her age.
Many a life, as full perhaps as this, of promise of beauty and usefulness and love, is cut short in its bloom, without further public notice than that which summons relations and friends to the burial; but some circumstances surrounding this brief life and its sudden close will excuse a fuller reference to it, not for the sake of those in the living family circle thus rudely invaded and broken-they need it not-but for the young, with the fulness of their life yet before them, whose hearts these words may meet and touch. This dear child, nurtured in a beautiful home, with everything about her to develop the intellectual and the spiritual elements of her nature, floating through her brief career of life on a very ocean of love, surrounded by everything to make this world attractive, had already set her affections on things above, and tasted something of that already set her affections on things this world attractive, had already set her affections on things above, and tasted something of that longing which the ancient saint expressed, "To depart and be with Christ." Four months ago she voluntarily came forward to renew the solemn baptismal vow, and receive the Blessed Spirit's gifts, and then in holy reverence knelt to receive the Blessed Spirit's gifts, and then in holy reverence knelt to receive the spiritual food of her dear Lord's body to refresh and strengthen her for her life work. From this time the higher life, which is above the morbid or the melancholy. Bright, active, cheerful was she, and always loving. The summons to the blessed rest of Paradise came, alas too soon for those who remain behind, but not for her, who was already prepared. A two hours' walk under a July sun, while engaged with her teacher in the study of botany, proved too much for a delicate frame, and within the weary octave, crowded with anxieties and medical consultations and many earnest prayers, the Master came and took her to Himself.
It was a sympathetic congregation of relatives and friends which met, in the courts she loved so well, of the old St. John's church, Clifton, to show their love by assisting at the last sad scene; thy were loving and earnest words her pastor spoke, the words of her favorite hymns, "Nearer, my God, to Thee," and "Jerusalem the Golden," were meet to be sung as we laid her gently to her rest. Such a life, brief as it was, cannot be without an influence; such a death points us to that "sweet and blessed country' where
_____ "they, who with their Leader
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
"Jesu, in mercy bring us
To That dear land of rest,
Who are with God the Father,
And Spirit, ever blest." Amen.
