. Dearborn's guide through Mount Auburn : with seventy-six engravings for the benefit of strangers desirous of seeing the clusters of monuments with the least trouble ; with the established rules for the preservation of the cemetery, purchase of lots, and other concerns ... # 20 JOHN H.

Alas! how vainThe wreath thai Fame would hind around our tomb—The winds shall waste it, and tlie worms destroy;The fickle praise of far posterity,Come, weigh it at the graves brink, here with me,If thou canst weigh a S.
