Her Christian fortitude and resignation were evinced, as well on those occasions of domestic sorrow and difficulty, by which, both on private and on public grounds, we all know she must have been severely tried, as in her patiant endurance of the last painful month of her human existence. Her benevolence was active, her bounty great. towards any and every deserving object; and while slanderous tongues were clamouring of hoarded treasures, and avaricious insensibility; facts and realities have proved that the very reverse was the case; and many a retired and solitary sufferer could testify that while the charities of our departed Queen were extended to an amount far beyond what was generally known or suspected, they partook at the same time of the Genuine Christian spirit. She sounded not a Trumpet before her, to blazon her benevolence: her deed of mercy were in secret: and that heavenly Father which seeth in secret as now, we may hope, called her to himself in order to reward her openly. He has called her away from a Temporal Throne to sit down with her Redeemer on his Throne; to exchange an earthly and perishable crown for one incorruptible and undefiled, reserved in Heaven for her."
