Mrs . Frances Shepherd . 1829 . Nov . 17 , at Gatettcre , near Liverpool , Frances , wife of the Rev . Wm . Shepherd . The retiring modesty which so peculiarly characterized this lady , might seem to render unappropriate any further notice to the public , than the simple announcement of her decease , were it not for the
consideration that , amongst the readers of this work , there must be many to whom she was personally known ; and ho small number who , in their boyhood , have experienced , under the roof of her husband , a large portion of her almost maternal care ; to such this little tribute will not be uninteresting , as recailiug the memory of a kind and valued friend . Mrs . Shepherd possessed an excellent
understanding , which had been well cultivated by reading ; but her singular modesty of character led her to be so much more frequently a listener thai ) a speaker , that none , except her most intimate friends , could fully appreciate the extent of her information , the correctness of her sense , and the soundness of lier judgment .

If posthumous fame can ever be accounted a reasonable object oi human ambition , it must surely be when it assumes this form . The hope of being enshrined in the hearts of those who knew us best , is not only soothing to the anguish of departing friendship , but animating also , as being linked with that better part of oar nature which aloue survives , when all besides shall have perished and been forgotten .

Miss Louisa Hawkes . December 21 , aged 22 , Louisa , the ouly daughter of the Kev . James Hawkes , of Nantwich . Though cut off iu the spring-ticne of life , the deceased had anticipated much of the auxiety and affliction that is generally reserved for a wore advanced period . To the trials incident to the long illness and bubsequeut death
of her mother , whose place she was called upon to supply at that early period when females generally depend on a mother ' s advice and direction , succeeded that of her own very long aud very painful sickness . In her case tbe aalutary influence of affliction was mogt plea « iugly manifested ; and her frieuds ,
while they deeply sympathized with Inr in her illness , which was unusually tryin -K from the want of the soothing effect of a mother ^ or a sister ' s affectionate attentions , long indulged the hope thai she would enjoy a rich recojn pence for her MifTeringa in the exercise of those virtues which were the fruit of her happy
