the ocean to his bedside. The thou2:hts and 

 aims for which he had lived were often on his 

 Hps, but the affections were more vivid than 

 the intellect in these last hours. The end 

 came very peacefully, on the Idth of Decem- 

 ber, 1873. He lies buried at Mount Auburn. 

 The boulder that makes his monument came 

 from the glacier of the Aar, not far from the 

 spot where his hut once stood ; and the pine- 

 trees which are fast growing up to shelter it 

 were sent by loving hands from his old home 

 in Switzerland. The land of his birth and 

 the land of his adoption are united in his 

 grave.
