spread his heart out to embrace all that was human, and to lift it up for the admiring recognition of the highest. His writings honor human nature, and will for ages be an influence to increase the sum of human kindness and enjoyment.

He who has done so much

"His task is done. It is all peaceful and well with him. Advanced above pale envy's threatening reach, he recks not how they rave. His works will live; and his name and fame are safe. to unfreeze the hearts of the upper classes; he who has written so many passages of tenderness which none can read without tears, and thousands have read with convulsive sobs, will never fail to be remembered with affectionate honor. He did well to refuse to be baroneted. Kings take not rank from their inferiors: they bestow it.

"I am glad they laid him in Westminster Abbey with such democratic simplicity, on that June day, when, as their reverential hands bore him through the low archway, the same English birds that sang to Chaucer, Shakspeare, and Milton were warbling from every branch and coigne of vantage. With instinctive fitness, they buried him in the corner of the poets; for he, too, was a great poet, whose words will make millions enjoy nature more, and love men better. How sweet sleep was to the worn and sensitive worker! How unspeakably welcome was every soothing tone or touch of love!

And now, deeply and forever, the weary child rests in the embrace of the Infinite Father, where the perfect intercommunication of spirits supersedes every symbol, martial and ecclesiastical and literary alike, and all truth is at once its own pulpit and preacher."
