EVOLUTION. 95 



On the i4th of December, 1878, in the sixty-sixth 

 year of his age, Professor Agassiz passed away. 



A boulder from his beloved Alps alone marks his 

 resting-place at Auburn, city of the dead: while 

 lilies bloom about him (white lilies-of-the-valley, are 

 they); the birds and insects make music above him; 

 and, while the world endures, his memory shall not 

 fade. 



The story is ended by the recent notice of the com- 

 plete destruction, by fire, of the school buildings, 

 which can now be viewed by picture only. Alas, in- 

 deed! Penikese Island is but a memory!
