The yreat Napoleon said: " 'Ldesire that my re- matioctoulo iepose on the baets of the Seine, In hfe midst of that French people that I have loved so well."

Now, tmy brethren, bow have the generauons of the pas. answered this challenge of our nature, and what response have they mnad to itc de maad ? Let their monuments answer. They have put it lato a concrete and substantive form, and given it their full indorsement. All btitory informs as that, is every age, sad in every natioe, memoriels for the dead have been raised, according to the habits and character of the people, and the age in which they lived; but all desigaed as a tribute of respect, and. in some degree, forming a part of the nation's hlasory. The pyramids of Egypt, the monumental piles of Europe, the tombs of A merica and the mounds of our aborigiaee, all speak of the dead to the livig., sad impress upon the mind truths the most satary, as well as mch of the past history of the world. In our own sunny land it It regarded a sacred duoy to care for the resting places of the dead and keep alive their memory. Each tomb and grave in the Cities of the Dead " that surround us has become a Mecca to some sorrowing house- told or friend, to which, with the tidelity of tin tollowers of the Prophet, they annually go, with sub-ldued and saddened hearts, to spreaad opan them the fresh blown flowers, asd k -ep alive the thousand memories that epring up In the mind, Shime perforating this touching eetemoay-- a eere* niony that cannot be witue-sed without awakeniig every noble feeling of our natue, and reviving in our own mind all the memorses of the past.

It was in such hours that, with friendly grip, kindly smile and cheerful voice, they poured into our ear the words of conso!ation and hcre, or with alien hand relieved our necee-itiee, and bid us cheer up and acquit ourselves like men under all the difficnltiee and trials of life. Such was their friendship, and such their noble acts through :fe. I-u', mny brethren, it is as Masons that they claim our p .isniount regard. and we are here to d:y to show to the brethren who have honored un- with their presence, and to the world, that the neemory of the good and true will always be ehe rished, and live in the hearts of their brethr, n. Aidently devoted to the great principles of MasoLry, they labored earnestly for their ma n toI aruce, and urged their practice in our daiy dltsue, and in our constantly recurring conat t Sith our fellow-men.

Now, tmy brethren, bow have the generauonsof the pas. answered this challenge of our nature,and what response have they mnad to itc demaad ? Let their monuments answer. They haveput it lato a concrete and substantive form, andgiven it their full indorsement.

All btitory informs as that, is every age, sad inevery natioe, memoriels for the dead have beenraised, according to the habits and character ofthe people, and the age in which they lived; butall desigaed as a tribute of respect, and. in somedegree, forming a part of the nation's hlasory.

The pyramids of Egypt, the monumental pilesof Europe, the tombs of A merica and the moundsof our aborigiaee, all speak of the dead to thelivig., sad impress upon the mind truths themost satary, as well as mch of the past historyof the world.

In our own sunny land it It regarded a sacredduoy to care for the resting places of the deadand keep alive their memory. Each tomb andgrave in the Cities of the Dead " that surroundus has become a Mecca to some sorrowing house-told or friend, to which, with the tidelity of tintollowers of the Prophet, they annually go, withsub-ldued and saddened hearts, to spreaad opanthem the fresh blown flowers, asd k -ep alive thethousand memories that epring up In the mind,Shime perforating this touching eetemoay-- a eere*niony that cannot be witue-sed without awakeniigevery noble feeling of our natue, and reviving inour own mind all the memorses of the past.

No. nty brcthren, the friendship of WalterNice I uno Juohn Both was the sto!,rm-cou l friend-ship that corme to us in our ho,ur of otiltlion,shten the heart was bowed in sorrow, or whenlle changes of fortune had reduced uo to wantand the future looked dark and foreboding. Itwas in such hours that, with friendly grip, kindlysmile and cheerful voice, they poured into ourear the words of conso!ation and hcre, or withalien hand relieved our necee-itiee, and bid uscheer up and acquit ourselves like men under allthe difficnltiee and trials of life. Such was theirfriendship, and such their noble acts through :fe.

Aidently devoted to the great principles ofMasoLry, they labored earnestly for their ma ntoI aruce, and urged their practice in our daiydltsue, and in our constantly recurring conat t

Sith our fellow-men. To be "good mnen andtrue" was, with them, a cardinal point. as it i-indeed the Polar star of iall ~li0,l lfeseons.
