As he stands among the graves, and treads upon the dust of his ancestors, may he be incited, by the record of their actions and character, to emulate their virtues, and to perform similar deeds of patriotism, philanthropy, benevolence and religion.

A short flight with the eagle among the stars, is more valuable than a long race with the reptile in the dust. Happy he, who while passing through the changing scenes of earth, becomes by the power of Divine grace, thoroughly prepared for his own last great change, and fitted to awake from the slumbers of the grave in the likeness of God.
