Of a fond and loving bride.
But there's a light to lure us homeward,
In this sorrowing world of ours;
And we'll strive to meet the dearly loved one
Where forever bloom unfading flowers.

Horton.—In Terrytown, Jan. 7, 1872, Miss Nancy T., daughter of Dr. G. F. and Abigail Horton, aged 25 years.
Decided in her convictions, yet with charity for all, amiable in disposition and warm in her affections, she won a large circle of friends, who sympathize with her immediate relatives in this bereavement. She availed herself of every advantage afforded to store her mind with useful knowledge. Diligent as a pupil, she was successful as a teacher, exhibiting unflagging energy and patience in the school room, she surpassed most in securing the love and advancement of her pupils. She was sustained through a long and painful illness by an unfaltering trust in her covenant keeping Saviour, and with her feet firmly set on the Rock of Ages by a living faith, fearlessly entered the dark valley, fearing no evil.
