" "A WISE MAN IS STRONG. " A. DISCOURSE, DEATH OF DANIEL WEBSTER DELIVERED IN TRINITY CHURCH, WASHINGTON, D. C. , NOVEMBER 7, 1852. VII. DISCOURSE. The wise man is strong. — Prov. Xxiv. 5. A wise and strong man, lately with us, has departed. The last of "the three mighties" is no more. Daniel Webster is no longer the name of living wisdom, grandeur, power. He is hidden from our eyes. The funeral rites are over. The mourning multitude who, with drooping heads and swelling hearts, attended his bu...rial, have dispersed. The little group of chosen friends, lately gliding with suppressed, reverential and affectionate sorrow around his bed, and through the hushed house of mourning, have all departed. The echo of the blended voices of bereaved love and affectionate eulogy, which rose above his grave, yet linger on the air. The sickness, the death, the burial, the admiring tributes paid to his memory by individuals, Cities, States, and the Nation, no longer passing in august and mournful proces- sion before our minds, have now taken their places among the most sublime and affecting incidents of our national history.
