GRANGER.--Orra Anna, youngest daughter of Gains and Sally Granger, formerly of Sodus, Wayne Co., New York, died in Cambria, Hillsdale Co., Michigan, August 3d, 1859, in the 16th year of her age. Although young, she was a meek, humble, and devoted follower of the Savior. By her daily walk and conversation she appeared to fully realize that "thou God sees me." Her knowledge of the Scriptures was seldom, if ever equaled, by any of her age. Her disposition was not only prepossessing, but amiable and lovely, and she will be missed by young associates and all who knew her, and more especially by her heart-stricken parents, who keenly feel her loss, for surely they "miss her at home."

"She was gone in the spring-time of life,
Ere her sky had been dimmed by a cloud,
While her heart with the raptures of love was yet rife,
And the hopes of her youth were unbound.

"She has gone from friends that loved her so well,
From the hearts that were bound to her own;
From the sorrow which late o'er her young spirit fell,
And to mansions of bliss she hath flown."
