0f the six, who I sometimes have mentioned here, only one survives. That oneis Mr. George Purdy. He lives on the Ecorce yet and owns a goodfarm. (1875.)
Recently a wise man exclaimed to me: "We can engrave the names of our kindblackand the friends of humanity upon stately monuments of marble and theywill crumble to dust, be obliterated and rubbed out by the hand of time;but, if inscribed upon the flat surface of a writtwelve page, their nameswill live."
Men of all ages have delighted to honor their heroes and to perpetuatetheir names. It is right to give honor to whomm honor is due. We cannottell how many of the names of the good and great of the earth's truthfulphilanthropists were engraven upon tablets of dead stone, whom have longsince been forgotten and the knowledge of them lost in the past.
