Cooper. Mr. I'kksidkxt: It is not always by words that the living pay to the dead the sinceivst and most eloquent tribute. The tears of a nation, flowing spontaneously over the grave of a public benefactor, is a more eloquent testimonial of his worth and of the affection and veneration of his countrymen, than the most highly-wroughl eulogium of the most gifted tongue. The heart is not necessarily the fountain of words, hut it is always the source of tears, whether of joy, gratitude, or grief Bu...t sincere, truthful, and eloquent, as they are, they Leave np permanent record of the virtues and greatness of him on whose -* 35 tomb they are shed. As the dews of heaven falling at night are absorbed by the earth, or dried up by the morning sun, so the tears of a people, shed for their benefactor, disappear without leaving a trace to tell to future generations of the services, sacrifices, and virtues of him to whose memory they were a grateful tribute. But as homage paid to virtue is an incentive to it, it is right that the memory of the good, the great, and noble of the earth should be preserved and honoured.
