FAREWELL TO AMERICA
On the 9Th day OF May, 1851, I saw Mr.. Payne for
the last time. He had taken passage for Havre In
the steamer Humboldt, which sailed on that day
at noon. As was unable to accompany him to
the ship, he called at my rooms On his way thither
wore brown overcoat. closely buttoned, and car
RED beneath his right arm large umbrella, which
had evidently seen much service. He was In ex-
cellent spirits. though as he grasped my hand at
parting he exhibited no little emotion, and his
voice was husky as he pronounced these last
him as he moved down Broadway with rapid step
and form erect, and thus passed forever from my
sight
HIS DEATH.
On the 9th day Of Ap I'll, 1852 In less than year
from the time parted with Mr.. Payne, his gentle
spirit assembled to its eternal rest During his last
illness, which was long and painful, he received
every needed attention and comfort from his
Ie9ds IN Tuns and especially from four Sisters
want. The sisters said OF him that "he was very
gentle and thoughtful OF their comfort to the last
was often visited BY Mrs. Heap, q most excellent
and lovely woman, who read to him nom his fa7-
orite books whenever he was able to listen.
HIS BURIAL
Els remains were inferred In tho Protestant
Cemetery OF St George. at Tunis, and his grave
marked by thick white marble slab, on which
was carved the seal Of the United States. followed
by an appropriate epitaph. Zach edge OF the slab
was Inscribed with line OF poetry, the four lines
reading thus:
