The end drew near. On Saturday evening, April the fifteenth, she said it would be a great joy to exchange the physical for the spiritual body; and she was comforted by reading Bishop Brooks’s addresses, “Perfect Freedom.” On Monday, April the seventeenth, she grew rapidly worse; and in her unconsciousness, she frequently murmured in prayer, the word “Freedom.” On this day her soul was released, and she entered into the fullness of the Glory of God. On a little slip of paper she had written these last words:-- “O Mariner-soul, Thy quest is but begun, There are new worlds Forever to be won.” She was borne lovingly to Trinity Church, where she had worshiped; and there, in the presence of her sorrowing friends, the service was held. There was also a service in St. Peter’s Church, Beverly, where her fellow-townsmen gathered to do her this last honor. She was laid to rest in the soil of her native town, within sight and sound of the sea. INDEX. Abraham, Mount, 72. Adirondacks, 237. Advertiser, Boston Daily, 182. Alden, John, 97. Aldrich, T.
