March 4 , aged 62 , A& * ne , the widow of the late John Lees , Esq ., of Castle-Hill , Dukinfield . The lapse of little more than eighteen months since the loss of her husband , [ see Mon . Repos . XIX . 570 J has consigned to the family . vault the remains of this most excellent woman .
In the union of this pair , which took jfctacje . earjy in Ufe * was exemplified in the strictest sen ^ crf the matrimonial affiuity , tb ^ female qualification of being iC an help meet for ft iniJ" She became to her family , and household the portraiture , of all the liusbaud himself exhibited in the
management of his extensive concerns , prudent , methodical , attentive to the interests , and liberal in providing for the wants , of' her dependants . Unlike the fashionable wife of modern refinement , she had a much wider sphere than the
drawing or the dining-room afforded for her superintendence . 'The whole house , hold establishment was her province , the whote economy of its provision aud management had her fore-thought and direction . But this was not all . As the
mother of a numerous family , their early education , the formation of their maturer habits , and the correct religious impres-8 ions she was anxious they should imbibe , were a source to her of constant care and maternal solicitude . f >» e of her highest gratifications was to see the
whole of them assemble with her in the solemn performance of public worship . For this purpose her own attendance was exemplary and uniform . Aud for this purpose her disinclination to allow social
parties on the day set apart for religious improvement , to interfere with its duties and its obligations , led hev to resist the innovation of ule ^ uie and the indulgence of convivial ipieetingp aa much as possible jOh that d « ty . > . ¦ : C > , . , . ¦¦ ¦ ., •> " < ¦¦ f

Sfye ^ vyjm W camojended gre ^ precaution t ' a tjiose Who had tfie care , any the ni ^ bage ' iil ^ nt of the sick , and thfe propriety of her advice and example has been known to at-
rest the influence of cuQtagipn in the dwellings of the afflicted . JJer conduct , a 3 a wife and a mother , endeared her to her husband and her children ; she was to the former faithful arid affectionate ; to the latter , a trailer " m the way that they should go , " a iC light to their path , aud a lamp unto their feet . "
Her dissolution , though sudden and unexpected , was consoling to her afflicted children and friends , inasmuch as it was tranquil , and sustained wiih the most perfect composure . A dysentery hurried
her from the enjoyment of health , and the society of a family circle , all eager to contribute , to any the least of her comfort ^ , Iu the short space of forty-eight hours , to the tomb . No murmurs of
regret at her approaching dissolution escaped from her lips , and nothing but the lingering looks of affection , like the withdrawing beams of a settiug sun , held commerce with those she was leaving behind her . One thus favoured could
not avoid , at this awful crisis , remeuaberiug Young ' s admirable description of the death of the righteous : " The chamber where the good iBrfh meets his fate
Is privileged beyond the . common walk Of virtuous life , quite in the verge of heaven . " W . H . Dukinjield , March 18 , 1826 .
