SHE ALWAYS. MADE HOME
:1.= l.s, Il. HAPPY. ,sf- r.. es5

So wrote bereaved and sorrowine
household over the grave of mother.
It was touching tribute to one who
had well deserved to bear that sacred
name. The simple words suggest to
us q beautiful picture of the life and
character Of a true woman in the sphere
for which she is particularly designed
and lifted by Heaven. We know with
out seeking the history that she was a
successful mother; children trained in
. such a home went forth into life both
shielded and armed for the battle. Yet
when We speak Of this as peculiarly
happy home, We do not mean that it
was home where capricious whims
were laws, or where every wish was
gratifed; we know that it was home
where obedience to the will of the par
ent was understood and recognized as
first principle, and yet where mutual
love was an all-peryading influence
which led to gentleness and forbear-
ance and kind, thoughtful efforts for
the comfort and happiness of each mem
Der of the dear circle. We know this,
because it is only this combination that
makes truly happy home. The first
OF these principles is generally recog-
nized in theory, if not in practice, but
the influence and Importance Of the last
is too often entirely overlooked. Par
ents love their children, but they do NOT
allow their love to manifest itself in a
kindly interest in what interests them,
in forming little plans for their
amusement, and in seeking as promA
nent object their happiness. Very
many parents need to be reminded tina,
they have something more to do fol-
their children than merely to provide
for their physical wants, to educate

He felt that all his strength and all his
life belonged to the cause to which he had
devoted them. Baker" said he-and
to me they were his last words--"Baker,
when [ was struck tried to stand firm,
but the blow blinded me, and l could
not" / trust it is no shame to manhood
that tears blinded me when be said it. OF
his last hours have no heart to speak.
He was the last of his race there was no
kindred hand to smooth his couch or
wipe the death-damps from his brow ;
but around that dying bed strong men,
the friends Of early manhood. the devoted
adherents of later life, bowed in irrepres-
sible greif, ''and lifted up their voices and
wept."
But, Fellow Citizens, the voice of Ia
mentation is not uttered by private friend
ship alone-the blow that struck his
manly breast has touched the heart of a
people, and as the sad tidings spread, q
general gloom prevails. Who now shall
speak for California? Who be the inter-
prefer of the wants the Pacific coast?
Who can appeal to the communities of
the Atlantic ? Who can speak for mas
ses of men with passionate love for the
classes from whence he sprung? Who
can defy the Establishments of power,
the Incidence of Office, the corruption of
administration n? What hopes are buried
with him in the grave!
"Ah! who that gallant spirit shall resume,
Leap from Eurotas banks and call from the tomb"
But the last word must be spoken, and
the imperious mandate of Death must be
fulfilled. Thus, o, brave heart! we bear
thee to thy rest Thus, surrounded by
tens of thousands, we leave thee to the
equal grave. As in life, no other voice
among us so rung its trumpet blast upon
the ear of freemen, so in death, its echoes
will reyerberate amid our mountains and
valleys, until truth and Valor cease to
appeal to the human heart.
His love Of truth-too warm, too strong,
. For Hope or Fear to chain chill;
His hate of tyranny and wrong,
Burn in the breasts he kindled still.
Good friend true hero hail and
farewell
