Mount Auburn, although his dust does not repose there. A fine granite shaft to his memory stands on Gentian Path, erected by Thomas Dowse of Cambridge, whose admiration for Franklin led him to pay this tribute. Mr. Dowse's own memory is perpetuated by the beneficent local institution known as the Dowse lecture course, which he established upon a generous foundation.

      On Spruce Avenue is the grave of Anson Burlingame, the distinguished congressman and diplomat. It is a marble sarcophagus, bearing on one side his name and on the other the dates of birth and death. It was in 1870, when he was not quite fifty years old, that the end of his career came. Perhaps the most noteworthy achievement of his life was the part he had, as our minister to China, in securing a highly favorable treaty with that suspicious and exclusive nation. That was in 1868, and in the summer of that year he returned to this country in company with a Chinese embassy. The embassy was most cordially welcomed, and was entertained in Boston at a banquet, for which occasion Dr. Holmes wrote one of his most delightful poems. I was then a lad, trying my hand at newspaper work in the leisure afforded in college vacations; and it was my happy lot to ride across the state, from Berkshire to Boston, in the car which carried Burlingame and his Celestials. It was a time of triumph for Burlingame, as at every station along the way crowds thronged the platforms to catch a glimpse of his party.
      If the trim, compact gravel walks of the cemetery retained any impress of the steps which pass over them, surely Mimosa Path would be found to be one of the most worn. It is there, in the old family lot where his mother and father lie, that Phillips Brooks is buried. A modest stone of white marble marks the grave. On it are inscribed the name, the dates of birth and death, and the dates of his service as rector of the Church of the Advent and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia, and Trinity Church, Boston, and as bishop of the diocese of Massachusetts. There is also the inscription, "Him that over-cometh I will make a Pillar in the Temple of my God." The grave is rarely without flowers.
