[The following article from 111C pen of REV.
CHARLEs NICHOLs, of New Britain, who was
intimately acqu IIDICd with Mrs. Collins for
more than forty years, may be of interest to
mg of our readers—FEDS. GAZETTE]
Obituary.
DIED, in Norwalk, Ct., Nov. 6, 1867, of
typhoid pneumonia, Mrs. Lydia Colllns, wife
of Rev. A. B. Collins, in the sevcnly-sixlh
year of her age, and having been connected
with the husband of her youth 51 1-2 years.
It is due to the deceased and to her survi-
ving family to say. that Mrs. Collins was not
merely a good woman in the common ac-
ceptance Of tllcgexpression, but that shc'was
an eminently Christian woman, trusting in
to the entire exclusion of every other ground
of hope—exhibiting the cllrlstian spirit ln
her daily life—and seeking habitually to be
conformed to the will of the Saviour in all
things. She wits firm in her religious prin.
ciplcs, sound in her views of Christian doc'
triue, “rooted and grounded" in the truth of
the gospel, an earnest, zealous lover of the
cause of Christ, and a faithful, constant, and
judicious worker for its advancement
Much of the time that Mrs. C. sustained
the relation of a wife of a christian minister,
she was an invalid. 'Oiten she was entirely
prostratcd by sickness, and not :unfrcquent-
ly she was a great sufferer. It Would be
speaking within the bound of truth to say
that in the aggregate several years of weak‘
ness and sickness were allotted to her du-
ring the period of her married life. Yet she
never lost her interest in the things of
Christ, but on the other hand gave pleasing
evidence that while the outward man sufl'er-
ed, the inward man was renewed and invig-
orated, and that her soul was enjoying sweet
spiritual health. Mrs. C. was interested in
her family, in her friends, in society, and in
what was transpiring in the busy world
afound her. She was cheerful and ioyous,
never morose, sauctimonious, or affected.
She met her his nds and neighbors with a
smile, had a good word for them, and was
interested in whatever is of true interest to
our race. Yet spontaneously and naturally,
not by studied cfiort, she made it daily evi-
dent that her treasure was in heaven. and
that her heart was there. She was also an
earnest lover of the gospel ministry, and
thought and spoke much of the trials, joys,.
labors and responsibilities of those whose
Office it is to preach the gospel. It is config-
dently believed that she died in the Lord
and is now with him, beholding his glory.
When asked in her dying moments by her
pastor, Rev. Dr. Childs, whether she trusted
in Jesus, she replied, “I do, 'I do," and ad-'
dcd, “simply to His cross I cling.”
Mrs. Collins was disciplined and matured
for heaven in the school of affliction. Once
and again shefollowedthoscdearto her,lothe'r
resting place in the grave. Two of' the four
children, whom God gave her, were called to
pass over Jordan before her. A much loved
daughter, Mary I. C. Collins, aged 21 years,
died in North Stafi‘ord,while Mr. Collins was
Pastor of the church to that place. Her re-
mains sleep in the cemetery in North Coven-,
’try, Ct. Another daughter, her beloved and
affectionate first born, Elizabeth, wife of
Samuel L. Talcott, Esq., of New Haven,
died in 1804, 46 years of age. She and the
sister before mentioned, sleep side by‘slde, in
the same cemetery, and both sleep in J esus.—-
Thus by the discipline of sickness and sor-
row the-Master saw fit to draw his child from
earth, abd fit her for the skies. Seemingly
the attraction of the heavenly world must be
very strong to the surviving members of the
family, though they are now a broken cir-
cle—three having passed over into the prom-
,ised land—and three yet sojournere, wailing
for‘thc summons. Our prayer shall be, that
the good Spirit of God, may so quicken and
saclify the surviving members that they may
in due time, constitute an unbroken circle, in
that world which sorrow. and death can
never invade. Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord. . " ‘

DR. SAMUEL COVEL'S
RHEUMATIC PILLS.
For the safe complete and speedy cure of INFLAII-
A'i'ORY. CHRONIC, HEREDITARY, Luna AGO, Sounds,
and MsncunrAL RuEUNATIsII, RREUMATIC Gour
and otherdiselscs affecting the muscular system.
The tortures of the Inquisition were scarcely more
excrutinling than that which Rheumatism inflicts
upon its victims, and it appears in such a vartety of
forms and is so capricious in its effects, that the
steady observation of years is necessary to under-
stand its peculiarities.
To tlggobjcct the last years of Dr. Covel's life were
directe . Drlrfnga professional career of over half a
century he directed especinlattention to this disease
and its modifications ; and the result of his labors
was the pOsitive rejecting of the old method of
treatment as useless or erniclous, and the introduc-
tion of his celebrated P LLS, composed exclusively
of such Vegetable ingredients as he had proved, by
extperimenr, would exercrsc a specific and beneficial
illlmuence in the innumerable cases placed under 1115‘
c r e. -
Th 3 great remedy was not perfected in a day or a
year ; it was no sudden thought, but the fruit cf‘lollg
study and carefully conducted practical test. New
ingredients were added from time to time as the
symptons of this disease and the philosophy of its
actions were more clearly understood; until at last
in the declining years of a useful life, the physician,
philanthropist and christian pastor was enabled to
announce to the world a radical cure for a complaint
ghivh had heretofore defied the skfll of the medical
cu t .
TheSePills sustain and cherish the animal force
invigorate the constitution and thus not on the a]
lies of nature in her effort to cast off the disease
Their medicinal action is direct and specific. It
reaches the materia-morbus or radix ot the disorder,
through all the com lications ofnerves and fibres in
which it is clltrcuc led, and expel: from the blood
the febrile rinciple which feeds and spreads and ill-
tcnsigres, w rile itsprcads the fatal tendencies of' the
main .
SuchY an array of testimony as these Pills have
have called forth from all classes was never volunta-
rily offered in favor of’ any other medicine. The cu-
ses of cure comprehend every stage of Rheumatism,
whether accompanied bytllc terrible sensibi ity of
the arts affected, common in the inflamatory phase,
by t e muscular contractionspvhich under the victim
of chronic rheumatism, a helpless cripple. or by the
ever changing symptons which are tllc characteris-
tic of this Protcrln complaint
Tile Editor of‘ the Sunday Times. after having
himself taken them, and seen their effects on others,
speaks of them in the columns of his apt-r as fol-
lows :—“Wc have known the most horrible kinds of
Rheumati-m to be entirely relieved by Rev. Szrmucl
Cove-1‘s Rheumatic Pills. The cures accruing next to
