Died, on the evening of the 2d instant, of typhoid fever, at the residence of Mrs. Catherine Gilliam, in Powhatan county, Virginia, in the twenty-second year of her age, MARGARET LEWIS MARSHALL, second daughter of the late John Marshall, of Oak Hill, Fauquier county, Virginia. Another flower plucked from the Saviour's garden; another light faded from the heart of loved ones' another vacant chair in the broken circle; but another jewel in Emanuel's crown. Oh! Murmur not, ye who are bowed down beneath the stroke, but plead for wisdom to interpret well the sentence so inscrutable.

Oh! Could we with a selfish hand unbind the gleaming coronal upon her brow, and with the dew of earthly sorrow aim its untold lustre? Oh! No, we would not tarnish with an earthly stain its ever growing brightness. M."
