OBITUARY.
(Mrs. THOMAS HUN.)
A great sorrow has fallen upon the hearts of many in every class and condition of life in this city in the death of Mrs. HUN, the wife of Dr. THOMAS HUN. No one was better known than she has been during her whole life among us, for her earnest and efficient interest in all that could contribute to the good of others, and especially of the poor and the ignorant. She inherited from her father, the late Marcus T. Reynolds, much of the vigor and acuteness of mind and also of the energy and decision of character, for which he was so eminently distinguished ; and these marked natural endowments were enriched and strengthened not only by unusual advantages of early education, but by her life-long habits of reading and reflection, and perhaps even more, by the influence of the re- fined and cultured companionship and associations in which her lot in life was happily cast. Those who knew her in her earlier days, before her growing infirmity of hearing had shut her off from the intercourse of general society, will not fail to remem- ber the ease, graces and attractiveness of her person and man- ners, her quick and playful wit, her happy turns of thought and expression and the airy grace, vivacity and spirit of her conversation. And through it all there ever ran a vein of exquisitely delicate and most feminine sentiment that marked the lady, and gave an inexpressible charm to all she said and did. And yet one could not but feel that back of it all there was the woman of strong convictions and of deep conscientious- ness. In the qualities of her mind and character, she combined in a remarkable degree the theoretic and speculative with the practical. Few persons have ever set before them a higher ideal of duty in respect to living, not for one's self, but for the good of others, and still fewer have worked so faithfully and unwearied as she did to fulfil this duty. Her ever active mind found interest in every plan that promised to reform what was evil, and to help those upon whom the hardships of life press most sorely ; but this was no mere speculative or sentimental scheming; on the contrary, she was eminently real and prac- tical in her aims, and very energetic and efficient in carrying
