help of future suns and showers. It seems sometimes that death is commissioned to seek out a victim whose departure, more than that of any other, will mock at the sympathies and endearments which make dying seem, for a season at least, impossible. How like a ruthless enemy, glad, if the sufferings which he can occasion may be aggravated by private and peculiar circumstances, does the last enemy frequently appear! The next stone we shall notice would appear to be the joint property of Fairfield and Wadsworth, both which names it shows. Beyond this, on Indian Ridge Path, are those erected by Nathaniel Francis, Greenleaf, and Martin Brimmer. In the same neighborhood we find also one raised to the memory of David Patterson, a young merchant of Boston, who died at sea in 1834:-- Erected by his commercial friends and associates as a memorial of their affection and respect for his elevated moral and religious character. He sleeps beneath the blue lone sea, He lies where pear

ated occupant of the grounds of Mount Auburn. Of his history it is proper to add something, for the satisfaction of such of our readers as may have been less familiar with it than the inhabitants of this vicinity are presumed to be. And here we shall still be indebted to his friend and countryman, Dr. Follen. Gaspar Spurzheim was born on the 31st of December, 1775, at Longvich, a village near the city of Treves, on the Moselle, in the lower circle of the Rhine, now under the dominion of Prussia. His father was a farmer,--in his religious persuasion, a Lutheran. Young Spurzheim received his classical education at the college of Treves; and was destined by his friends for the profession of Theology. In consequence of the war between Germany and France, in 1797, the students of that college were dispersed, and Spurzheim went to Vienna. Here he devoted himself to the study of medicine, and became the pupil, and subsequently the associate of Dr. Gall, then established as a physicia

apeake, which cruised many months under the command of Captain Samuel Evans. In June, 1813, the frigate sailed again from Boston under a new commander, the brave but unfortunate Lawrence, and was captured the same day by the Shannon. Mr. Curtis, in that bloody battle, in which the Captain, first Lieutenant, Master, Boatswain, Marine Officer, and an acting Lieutenant, comprising almost all the deck-officers, were killed or wounded, served as aid-de-camp to the Commander. He was carried to Halifax, and was one of the officers selected by the British as hostages for the lives of certain Englishmen imprisoned by our Government. Afterwards he served as Midshipman in the Constitution when, under Commodore Stewart, she captured in the same action the frigate Cyane and the Levant; he was sent home by the Commodore second in command of the Cyane, and arrived with the prize at New York. In 1815, after peace with England, he joined the fleet sent, under Decatur, to chastise the Algerines,

lassic realms of splendors past, to rove O'er haunted steep, and by immortal streams,” Now, though thy mortal harp no more shall sound, Nor yield response to my fraternal strain, Yet sweet the thought, that, in a better world, Thy sainted spirit strikes the seraph lyre In worship of thy God, with all the angelic choir! On one side of the marble which has led to this somewhat extended notice, is an inscription To the memory of a much-loved Father, General William Hull, who died at Newton, Mass., Nov. 29, 1825, aged 74 years: also of an only Brother, Captain Abraham Fuller Hull, who fell at the Battle of Bridgewater, Lundy's Lane, July 25, 1814, aged 24 years. Before leaving Poplar Avenue the monument of Choate, surmounted by an urn, will be noticed. In Oak Avenue we find that of Prichard. That of Martha Ann Fisher is not far distant, on Willow Avenue,--bearing the inscription, She is not hereshe is risen. The two next, on the same Avenue, show the names of Williams and M

You speak of the Rural Cemetery at Sweet Auburn. I am pleased with the project. It will undoubtedly succeed. I am happy to learn that father contemplates taking a spot there; with those pleasant places my college days are tenderly connected, and I would love there to sleep my long, cold sle, By Tweed's green shores, and down the golden Rhine; They hoped to hear their youthful preacher raise His suppliant voice within the house of prayer, And lead unto their God the erring sinners there.

as stated in the inscription above quoted, that Mr. Colburn was educated by his genius. It may be proper to add, however, that he was graduated at Harvard College in 1820. His private character was most exemplary. A writer, about the time of his decease, remarked of him justly, that his study through life seemed to be to do good. On Locust Avenue a handsome sarcophagus shows the familiar and ancient name of Cheever. The inscription reads thus:-- Bartholomew Cheever was born in Canterbury, County of Kent, England, in 1607; came to America 1637; died in 1693, aged 86. Mason. Howard. Whitney and Cooke.
