In Geneva, on the 15th inst. Miss Amelia CHAPIN, daughter of Col. Cyrenias
CHAPIN, in the 18th year of her age.
Seldom has it fallen to our lot to record an instance of mortality which has
excited so much feeling as the death of this young lady. Possessed of a mild
and amiable disposition; a benevolent and affectionate heart she was beloved
by her friends and esteemed by her acquaintance. Her deportment from her
earliest youth exhibited an inclination to seriousness; a love of virtue and
morality, and a peculiar attachment to divine institutions. Through a long
and distressing sickness she was an eminent example of humility, patience and
resignation. The exercise of the severest pain was never known to utter a
murmur; nor that fond attachment to worldly scenes, so peculiar to youth, a
complaint. Her mind was unclouded to the last, and evinced a calmness and
composure which is derived alone from the religion of the Saviour, and which
enabled her to bid a cheerful adieu to earthly objects, and to triumph over
death and the terrors of the grave. To her fond parents and affectionate
sisters, the loss is irreparable; yet the consolation, that their loss is the
eternal gain of their departed friend, must be a balm to their wounded
spirits, and enable them to say. "The Lord hath given and the Lord hath taken
away: blessed be the name of the Lord."
