The Tower

The Tower.

cut into marble, but fully realized within a score of years after: —

      "Where now beneath his burthen
            The toiling slave is driven;
      Where NOW a tyrant's mockery
            Is offered up to heaven;
      THERE shall his praise he spoken,
            Redeemed from falsehood's ban,
      When the fetters shall he broken
            And the SLAVE shall he a MAN."

      Upon the stones at Mount Auburn may be read not a few of the names of those who bore an active part in the great struggle for human freedom, to which Torrey was a martyr. On Greenbrier Path stands a monument of fine Italian marble, designed by Washington Aliston, which marks the grave of William Ellery Channing, who was for nearly forty years pastor of the old Federal Street Church in Boston, and who, as the inscription on this stone recites, was "honored throughout Christendom for his eloquence and courage in maintaining and advocating the great cause of truth, religion and human freedom." On Lavender Path, not far from the tower, stands an impressive monument of Scotch granite, to the memory of John Pierpont, who was both a poet and preacher of freedom. He was for many years minister of the Hollis Street Church, Boston, and when the war broke out he accompanied the 22d regiment of Massachusetts volunteers as its chaplain. On Spruce Avenue, a plain, heavy granite slab with curved top, bearing the simple inscription, Dorothea L. Dix, marks the grave of the unselfish and untiring woman who bore a large part in the organization of the work of army nurses. A flag of the Grand Army of the Republic, planted above her grave, shows that her work is not forgotten by those whom she and her co-workers nursed back to life. On Spruce Avenue also, his grave marked by a simple stone, lies Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, whose ardent love of liberty led him to enlist in its cause, not only in America, but in Greece and Poland. On Pine Avenue, not far away, under a brown stone portico, there is a marble tablet, with a plate of bronze inset, on which is this inscription: "This tablet is in memory of Robert Gould Shaw, Colonel 54th Massachusetts Infantry. Fell at Fort Wagner, S. C., and was there buried, July 18th, 1863. Aged 25 years, 9 months." Only a few words, yet they
