We would add our tribute of respect, and gratitude, and admiration, and affection. We bless Thee that so much of the good that men do lives after them, and that he, whose mortal remains lie before us, being dead, yet speaketh. Help us to hear and to heed the lesson his notable life teaches. Let our admiration inspire imitation, make us better men, men of God, men of faith, men of action, truer to conviction, more ready to do and to dare, for God and man, for country and world. "Apply Thy balm of consolation to the wife and family of Thy deceased servant. Comfort all who mourn over this event. We thank Thee for the safe conduct, thus far, of these precious remains. Attend them to the resting place, where we shall gratefully and sacredly cherish them. Bless our city. Into our municipal life may there enter such laws and such administration as shall make us an upright, happy, contented, and united community. Bless our beloved land. Bless our President and his immediate advisers, our Congress, the Governors of our States, the Judges of our Courts, and all who bear any authority. Help us, stimulated by the lives of worthy citizens who have gone to their reward, to cultivate the righteousness that exalteth a nation. Bless all lands and all peoples that on earth do dwell.

May God be universally acknowledged as Father, and may all men live together as brethren. " The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with us all. Amen." AT MOUNT HOPE. At the close of the services in the church the procession re-formed and slowly proceeded to Mt. Hope cemetery. The streets through which the cortege passed were thronged with great crowds of people. Sorrow was depicted on every countenance, and many were the kind expressions heard as the great champion of human freedom and equal rights was borne to his final resting place. When the procession reached the cemetery the Rev. Dr. W. R. Taylor, of the Brick Presbyterian Church, conducted, in the presence of the family and a few friends, the burial service, simple, but impressive. The body was then placed in a vault temporarily. Later it will be interred in the family burying lot, which is one of the most beautiful sites of Mt. Hope cemetery.
