ight Rest, genial scholar, from the dear delight Of arts and books! Rest, steadfast, stainless friend! For ever ours,—though lost to sense and sight. Stern Duty's champion, at thy bier we bow! Brave, honest, faithful to the end,—thy vow To God and Freedom kept,—unbribed, unbought: Rest thee,—or rise to loftier labors now. Sumner was at this time a great favorite in Boston society. He was welcomed to the best houses as soon as he reached home. He frequented those of Mr. Ticknor, Nathan Appleton, Harrison Gray Otis, Abbott Lawrence, the Austins, Eliots, Dwights, and Guilds. He was always glad to meet the Calderons during their visits to their relatives on Chestnut Street. He passed long evenings with Jeremiah Mason, talking of law and lawyers and the topics of the day. He was often a visitor at Dr. Channing's, and held much grave discourse with him on war and slavery, and whatever concerned the progress of the race. Of the new friendships which Sumner formed at this time, th

He hopes you will not be swallowed up by a buffalo, before you return to Oriental civilization. To Dr. Francis Lieber. Boston, July 13, 1842. Your note, dear Lieber, came yesterday. . . . Do you abjure Boston, this summer? Bring Mrs. Lieber to the North, and give Mary and myself the pleasure of making her personal friendship. Do not let it rest always in paper.

In all his controversy with Forrest he had Sumner's counsels and cordial support; and their correspondence showed a constant interest in each other. Few men have ever lived so much in their friendships as Sumner; and this year brought changes in the loved circle where his life had been garnered up. Cleveland died in June. Dr. Howe was married to Miss Julia Ward in April, and Longfellow to Miss Appleton in July. Sumner rejoiced in the happiness of his two friends; he was present at both weddings, and groomsman at the first. Of the group of young men who had been linked most closely together he alone remained single. Dr. Howe, with his bride, sailed for Europe immediately after their marriage, and was absent sixteen months. From Halifax he wrote back a farewell message: Nor can time or distance or new relations ever loosen the bond of affection by which I am linked with thee; loving t

Cary, communicated in letters their dissent from the doctrines of the oration. The eminent lawyer, Jeremiah Mason, at that time retired from thch for your sympathy, and for the eloquent extract from your sermon. I am glad, too, in Mrs. W.'s kind words.
