 joung Warrior, cut off like a fresh and blooming 

 flower, in the spring of his career. There, too, rests 

 beside them, the generous Stranger, who, in his 

 ardent zeal for the welfare of man, had come from a 

 distant continent to share the treasures of his wisdom 

 with an unknown people.* Around their remains will 

 gradually be gathered the best, the fairest, the brav- 

 est of the present and of many future generations. 

 In a few short years, we, too, gentlemen, who are 

 now employed in decorating the surfece of Mount 

 Auburn or describing its beauties, will sleep in its 

 bosom. How deep the interest that attaches itself 

 to such a spot! How salutary the effect which a 

 visit to its calm and sacred shades, will produce on 

 souls too much agitated by the storms of the world ! 

 It was surely fitting that Art and Nature should com- 

 bine their beauties, to grace a scene devoted to pur- 

 poses so high and holy.
