 himself! Then are the Pyramids grander than their builders!

i r es! we shall see him again. In a land that is fairer than 

 day! — in the full possession and active exercise of those mental 

 powers which have been the admiration and gratitude of earth, 

 shall we see him; — see him as along the pathway of an unending 

 progress, and amid the ever-rising, ever-thickening glories of the 

 universe, he makes his way upward and unto the infinite goal, 

 "lost iii wonder, love, and praise." The sublime creation of God 

 which we have known as Joseph Henry is endowed with the 

 power of an endless life. 



"Eternal form shall still divide 

 The eternal soul from all beside; 

 And we shall know him when we meet." 



Till then, reverent philosopher, humble Christian, noble man, — 

 farewell and farewell!
