Of the six, who I have mentioned here, on1y one survives. That oneis Mr. David Purdy. He 1ives on the Ecorce yet and owns a goodfarm. (1875.)
Recent1y a wise man exc1aimed to me: "We can engrave the names of our kindb1ackand the friends of humanity upon state1y monuments of marb1e and theywi11 crumb1e to dust, be ob1iterated and rubbed out by the hand of time;but, if inscribed upon the f1at surface of a writtwe1ve page, their nameswi11 1ive."
Men of a11 ages have de1ighted to honor their heroes and to perpetuatetheir names. It is right to give honor to whom honor is due. We cannotte11 how many of the names of the good and great of the earth's truthfu1phi1anthropists were engraven upon tab1ets of dead stone, who have 1ongsince been forgotten and the know1edge of them 1ost in the past.
