 Died at Marshall, on the 20th inst., Mrs. SARAH H., wife of Tyler, of Preston Mitchell, esq., and daughter of Mr. Joseph Tyler, Baldswinville, N.Y ., aged 28 years, 2 months and 25 days.

 When disease is ravaging the land, and the pestilence is destroying at noon-day,death, becoming an almost familiar companion, loses none of its individual terrors. When the great conqueror rides upon the battle-field, or slays by thousands, the mind becomes confused at the magnitude of the slaughter, and loses sight of the softer feelings cf the soul. Death indeed is the common theme of nature. It has been so from the beginning, and will be to the end. But come when it will. the shaft will pierce some loving bosom, and infuse sorrow into some wounded heart. The great mass of human beings, throughout the globe, anxiously watch the progress Of the great common destroyer, when his field of operations is the nations of the earth. In times like these the public a sympathies are general in their tendencies and the individual sufferer, who lingers in painful and wary existence, often goes to his long home, regretted by fond and faithful friends, but almost unobserved by the living and moving world. In all instances, however, there are hearts that bleed and friends who mourn. There is the faithful companion, who watches the beating pulse, and the sympathising friend, who marks the ebb and flow of is the tide of life. To these no common or general affliction.

 But a few years since, but a short time ago, the subject of this notice was apparently in the enjoyment of health and worldly felicity. She has departed; not by the sweeping breath of pestilence, not by the sudden stroke which carries thousands to the grave. She has lingered on the bed of sickness and of pain - watched by the hand of patient care and affection. It is a comfort to the living , that loved ones and friends are not suddenly swept from their sight; but a greater comfort to know that they who have departed, have realized that the earth is their abiding place forever, There is greater consolation to those who survive that loved ones in death could enjoy the prospective felicity of a more perfect state of happiness in a future world.

 She died as she had lived with a faith founded upon the immortality of the soul. She died sorrowing at her, separation from worldly interests, associates and friends, but feeling conscious of a reunion with those she loved beyond the earth. Some of these have gone before her, but she leaves behind friends of her youth and the companion of her bosom. To him it is the sorest and most painful of all bereavements. It is in the nature of the human heart, that he should now revert with painful pleasure to happy hours of past enjoyment. She can feel for his wants, partake of his sympathies, minister to his cares, participate in his joys, and feel for his sorrows no more. It is the living who suffer; but the promises of the Gospel to those who faithfully trust in its assurances afford strong consolations to the afflicted. To these we commend them, and while a fond father and trusting brothers, and more than all, a faithful companion, mourn her loss, the reflection that she died in peace, wit a good will towards God, should be a source of the liveliest, emotion, the liveliest because the faith that was to her a sure reliance in the hour of dissolution, will be to them the path to a blissful immortality beyond the tomb.

MARY ORTESA WHEELER
 In Bedford, on the 19th inst., of erysipelas, after a distressing illness of three weeks, MARY ORESTA, youngest daughter of Samuel R. and Esther E. Wheeler, 7 months and 20 days.

   Relentless Death ! what hast thou done ?
   Of saints thou doest bereave us, For nothing less was this dear one
Whose loss doth sorely grieve us.

  To its parents twas on idol dear, To others nothing less, To all it is a loss severe, And causes sore distress.

  But for her sake we should rejoice, For God has taken her home, And thence methinks I hear her voice
  Say unto us Do come,

  The savior now embraces.
  For when I canne, he said, Of just such innocents as thee
  Is heavens kingdom made.

“ Parents and sisters do not weep, Oresta is not dead :
  She is but in a quiet sleep, While angels guard her head.
  Two brothers and myself are here; A happy three we are:
  Farewell my friends, be of good cheer,
  Our joys you soon will share.”      [Com.

DEATHS

REV. NATHAN NOYES
 In this village, on the 19th of August, inst., Rev. NATHAN Nov Es, in the 65th year of his age.

 The subject of this notice was born in Guilford, Vermont, December 18th, 1784. From his parents in early life he received much religious instruction, but for a scientific and literary education, was dependent on his exertions.

 At the age of 23 he settled in Preston, Chenango county, N.Y., where became a follower of the meek and lowly Jesus United with the Baptist Church, and was soon after ordained a minister of the Gospel. He afterwards removed to Perinton, Monroe county, N.Y. and labored in the cause of religion amid difficulties and trials, until 1833, when he removed with his family to this State. He settled on a farm near Northville, Wayne county, then almost a wilderness, and devoted self with renewed energy to the work of the ministry. Through his instrumentality a small church was organized, which, under the blessing of Heaven has become one of the largest in the State. Endowed by mature with but a moderate shore of physical strength, his labors and exposures invited disease until his constitution was broken under its repeated attacks. For the last few years, his growing infirmities obliged him to abandon public speaking, and his time had been mostly occupied in writing and religious conversation. It was his greatest pleasure to dwell upon the excellencies of the Bible and demonstrate its infinite superiority to the works of human genius. As a minister he sought to preach the Gospel in its simplicity and beauty, under a consciousness of the power of truth. He courted not the applause of men but the favor of Heaven. Independent and fearless in the discharge of his duty, none have questioned his honesty, however much they may have differed from him in opinion. Kind and benevolent in his feelings, the poor were welcome under his roof. In his domestic relations he was beloved for his tenderness and sympathy, and the spirit of personal sacrifice for the good of others. To his children his death came like a messenger of evil, spreading gloom and darkness over the domestic circle. To his widow, bowed and wrinkled with the weight of years, the stroke is particularly heavy. It has taken from her the husband of her youth - “her first and her l last love.” The arm on which she leaned in declining age is palsied in death and the voice which had so cheered her in tha hour of trouble is hushed forever.— Yet those who were bound to him by the ties of consanguinity derive consolation from the reflection that death is not an eternal sleep that he who rules the destines of men has ordered all things right. He has passed away. In his old age after a life of usefulness, he sank to rest, “like a shock of corn fully for the harvest,” and believing in a glorious immortality beyond the grave.

  “ A skilful workman he
    In Gods great moral vinyard; what to prune
    With cautious hand, he knew; what to uproot
    What was mere weeds, and what celestiel plants
    Which had unfading vigor in them knew:
    Nor knew alone; but watched them night and day
    Transplanted to the Paradise above.”               [Com.

This simple announcement of an event so common as that Death, the cold usurer, hath seized his bonded victim,” will meet the eye of the careless and uninterested, who will note it but as another soul gone to its heritage. But there are those in whom it will awake a generous and kindly recollections of other years, whose will recount the noble qualities and mainly character of their friend. Such kindred hearts will sorrow that Deaths stern mangate hath been issued, and Times subject been now mustered for eternity.

 
“The tree is felled, and boughed, and bare, and the Measurer standeth with his line.” Shall not one then who knew him long and well, pay a tribute to his worth while the memory of other days cluster passing image? He has been born, to the silent tomb by the hand of friendship and affection; and we remember him not as touched by the effacing finger of Decay, but as standing with us in manhood's prime the ready sympathizer, the active friend, and possessor Of those social and generous qualities which endear man to his fellows.        Statesman.
