Text Appearing Before Image:
study and ven-erate the wonders of our own country. MOUNT AUBURN IN AUTUMN. By Mrs. Eliza Lee Follen. I LOVE to mark the falling leaf,To watch the weaning moon; I love to cherish the belief,That all will change so soon. I love to see the beauteous flowers In bright succession pass.As they would deck lifes fleeting hours. And hide his ebbino; o-lass. I love the rushing wind to hear,Throuo-h the dismantled trees, And shed the sadly soothing tearOer joys that fled like these. 274 MOUNT AUBURN. I love to tliink this glorious earth Is but a splendid tomb,Whence man to an immortal birth Shall rise in deathless bloom ; — That nothing on its bosom dies,But all in endless change Shall in some brighter form ariseSome purer region range. J On this fair couch then rest thy headIn 2^eace, thou child of sorrow; For know the God of truth has said,Thou shalt be changed to-morrow; Changed, as the saints and angels are, To glories ever new ;Corrupt shall incorruption wear. And death shall life renew.

GOSSLERS MONUMENT. This monument was erected to the memory of J. H. Go3SLEE,of Germany, who had become a citizen of the United States. 276 MOUNT AUBURN. INTERIOR BEAUTIES OF MOUKT AUBURN. In treating of the interior beauties of Mount Auburn,I shall confine my remarks chiefly to the natural scenery.Every visitor must notice that the grounds are remark-able for a great and beautiful diversity of surface, as wellas a large variety of trees. Long before any one thoughtof it as a cemetery, it was a favorite resort of studentsand others who sought it on account of its beautiful andromantic scenery. There are hundreds still living, whoremember it as the scene of many a delightful ramble,alone and with company. It was no vulgar place of re-creation ; but a spot whither the thoughtful and studiousfled for that needful rest from mental weariness, or foremploying themselves in those studies of nature whichare even better than entire repose from labor. Many a student has resorted to these grounds
