now cloHing with the first bcains of day,

All thc uext day they watchcd bcside thcir

Thc twilight shadows bcgan to gather. A
grave had becn dug iu the shade of the lar
gcst and most bcautiful ofthe trccs, amid
whose hranchcs birds wcre now singing thcir
evcning songs. Thcy kucw that the time
had cnnic for them to commit hcr to thc dust,
and kncclins down by the bicr, wovcn of
stroug boughs, Mr. Osbonie offcrcd up a
praycr, fervcnt and humblc heart-thrilliiig,
yet full of trust. Whcn they arosc they fclt
strcngthcucd for their moumful task. Thcy
placcd her gcutly iu the gravc thcy jiad prc

then all but the fatlicr turncd away, for they
could not bcar to see the carth fall upon thc
swcct face tliat had so oftcu sniilcd upou
them, and which was bcautiful cvcuin dcath.
Mr. Osbornc lcancd for a few nvnutcs on his

which hc owcd to the dcad.

Evcn the voice ofthe winds was hushed; yct
as thcy sat togcther by the spot wl.cre thcy
had laid their poor Rna, 'a floating whispcr,'
such as is heartl ouly in the dccp liush of the
cvening or night time, seemcd to comc to
them like low and distant music. None
spoke, yet it fell 011 the cars of all w itli deep,

the ccho of spirit voiccs, singing some awcct

The moniing rose bright and balmy, and

an cdiication iu which, pcrhaps morc thau
any othcr citizcu of that time, I had advan

falhcr, had not becn worlhlcssly bestowcd
on cotning into life aftcr such great ad.
vanlagcs, and having the duty of selccling
a profcssion for mysclf, I choso that of Iho
Rar. I closcd my cducation as a lawycr
with onc ofthe tnost cinincnt jurists ofthe
age. Thcophilus Parsons, of Nowburyport,
at that time a praclising lawycr, but sub
scqucntly Chirf Justice of tho Common
wcaltli of Massachusclls. Under his in
slruclion and advicc, I closcd my cduca
tion, and commcnccd what I can hardly
call tho practice of Law, in tho cily of
Ooston.
At Ihal time, Ihough I cannot say that
I was fricndless, yet my circumstanccs
wcie nct indcpcndcnt. My fathcr was
thcn in n situation of great rcsponsibilily
and notoricly, in Iho govcrnmcnf of tho
Unitcd Sialcs. Rut iic had bccn long nb.
scnt froni his own counlry, and still con.
linucd alisent from Ihat part of it to which
hc bclongcd, and of which I nas a nalirc.
1 Hcnt thcrcforc as a voluntccr an ad

you whom I nowsce before mc, may con

I may say I was a strangcr in that citj ,
though almost a native oftho spot- 1 say
I can hardly call it praclicc bccauso for
tho spacc of onc year from that timo, it
would bc diflicult for mc to namc any
practice which I had to do. For two ycars,
indccd, I can rccall nothirg in which I
was tngagcd. Ihat may ho (crmcd prac

wcre some symptoms, Ihat by that pcrse
vcring palicr.ee of which you, sir, have
spokcn in sucb eloqucnt tcrms, practice
mighl comc in (imc.
Thc third year I continucd Ihis paticncc
and pcrscvcrancc, and having li'llo to do,
occupied my timo as wcll as I could in tho
sludy of thosc laws and institutions which
I have sinco bct-n cailcd to administer.
At tho end ofthe Ihird year. I hauoblain
ed somcthing which might bc callcd prac

such an cxtcnt, that 1 nn longcr had any
conccrn as to my future dcsliny, as a
hrst l'residcnt ot Ihc Umted Statcs, antl
lo con- ;
not per-

anl &ent 'om home on a mission to for-

From that timo the fourth Tcar after

S,ln t,A llio firct -rrnr nf mv ndmissinn

,8lnte - l was dcprivcd of Ihe cxcrciscs of

u..f.i v. . ' -j
this distinction a dislinction for which a
prcvious cdication at Iho bar, if not an in
dispcnsablc qualificalion, was at Icast a
most uscful appendago. From that timo
" practice at Iho bar has bccn little more
than during Ihc hrst year.
I was abscnt in Europc on that mission,
succeedcd by olhcr3 which it was the
peasure of Ihe first President lo confide
,0 mc for soven vcars. Rcturning then
to mv nalivc country, I again commenced
r mv l' f ";nn in Rosfon.
But 'n tho fi"t yenr, I was again sclected
to nn offico which no longer admitted of
my practising at the bar. From that time, ,
now upwarda of forty yeare, I havo nppcar-
cd at Iho bar but onco and that wilhin
Ihc last two ycars, in the Supromo Court
of the United Slates, on Iho occasion to
which you have alludcd, sir, in terms so
much morc complimcntary than I dcservc;
and I cmbraccd Ihat occasion, to tako a
final adieu of tho Profcssion.
In Ihe courso of that pcriod of time, I
havo gone Ihrough a great varicly of pub.
Iic ofiiccs, among which was Iho highcst
political stalion that can bo conferred by
thc pcople of Iho Unitcd Slates upon a
cilizcn. And yet, it may pcrhaps furnish
some of Ihe younger mcmbers of tho bar
who now hcar mc, food for a scrious rncd

in Ihc profcssion of law, as mine did, and
it wcre put to mc, after passinc Ihrco and
; a half or four ycars of Iho first part of
j my lifo as a lawycr. whclhcr I would pass

j clarc, that so far as pcrsonal happincss is
j conccrncd, I would inlinitcly prcferlopass

auilily which UoU has givcn me, lo that
j lifc which I have IcJ, aml in whicli I have
held placcs of high trust, htmnr, rcsponsi-

I I say not obloquy, now, for Iho purposo

Iho public scrvants of tho United Sialcs,
j it had becn my forlttno to suffer moro of

lircthren of Iho Profcssion of Ihe Law
Pcrhaps my cstimalion of Iho Profcssion,
nolwitbstanding what I havo said, may
not bcso lngli as Ihat which mnnyot you
makc. So deep is my imprcssion of tho
natural cqnality of mankind. and of thc
fundnmcnlal righls which Ihat natural
equslily confcrs upon cx'cry human bcing,
that I havo bcon occutomcd, and have
accustomcd mysclf, to Iransfcr that prin
ciplo of cqualit to all Iho profcssions of
mcn Ihc honcst profcssions adoplcd by
mcn in tho great and various pursuits of j
Iire.
It is common to say that thc profcssion
of thc law is thc highcst, tnost bonoralib,
and most dignified, that can bc cxcrciscd
by man. Possib'.y some of you may think
so. It is possiblc that you tnay havo cn
tcrcd upon the profcssion with that imprcs
sion. But that im.rcssinn is not mine.
I do bclieve that thc libcrlics of a country
dcpends morc upon thc mcmbers of the
bar than upon any othcr profcssion com
mon (o man. Yct I do not considcr it, tn
point of dignily, in point of importancc,
bcyond Ihat of thc shocmakcr, or thc lai
lor, or Iho houscwrighl, or mason, or any
mcchanicil profcssion. I considcr it not
superior to tho profcssion of tho hcaling
art, dcstincd lo allcviatc and rcmove thc
physical cvils of Ihc human racc ; far lcss
i!o I considcr it supcrior to that profossinn
whicli connccts tnan with thc fuluro and
with God.
Perhaps some among you cnlcrlain thc
opinicn Ihat Ihis proiession alono may
havo thc samc claims to honor and dignily.
lircthren, my own opinion upon that sub
jcct ts.that thc profcssion of divinily stands
upon thc same tounualion asthc proiession
of Iho law. Thc professors of both are
bound by tlic laws of naturc and of God,
to pass livcs of punty and innnccncc, do'
ingnu mcgooti mcycan to mcir lctiow
crcalures on carth. And if ,t ,s Ihc pnv-
ilcgoof tho prorcssorsof d.v.nity to stand
as mcdialors bclwccn God and Man, it is,
crmnlly Ihat of thosc of tho law lo mnin
tain at all hazards, cvcry tndividual right
confctrcd upon man,by Naturc and God.
I would say, llicrcforc, that we ought to
rcfcr tho wholc qucstion of Ihc rclalivo
dignily and importancc of profcssions and
tradcs. to that sacrcd principle of Datural
cquality which is thc law of naturc bctwccn
man and man.
I deem it unncccssary to cnlargo furlh
cr on this subjcct. I will not discuss thc
right of differcut classcs, to makc prefen
sions to Iho supcriorily of their rcspcclivc
professions. If thero isany ono profcss
ion which can claim supcriorily ovcr nll
tlic rcst, it is that of Ihc cultivator of Iho
earlh. For him, moro Ihan oncc, that
claim has bccn asscrtcd. But to him I
should assign prcciscly cqual rights with
all thc rcst. Bccauso hc in numbcrs
counts more than nll thc rcst though his
profcssion numbcrs moro tban tcn to ono
of all othcrs togcther I cannot admit
supcriorily on his part ovcr the mechanic,
tlie mcrchant, or tho lawycr.
It is truly an exccedingly agreeable cir
cumslancc lo mc, lo rcccivc this addrcss
on tho part of brethrcn of my own pro
fcssion. Thc rnanncr in which it has bccn
pronounccd Iho tcrms in which tho hon
orablo gcnllcman has spokcn to you of me
would furnish mo language of cloqucnce,
if language of cloquenco wero mir.c, for
tho rcmainder of this day. But Ihis would
put your paticnco to a severo trial.
In rcfcrcnce to that constant and pcrse
