No gilded dome swells from the lowly roof to catch the morning or evening beam; but the love and gratitude of united america settle upon it in one eternal sunshine. from beneath that humble roof went forth the intrepid and unselfish warrior, the magistrate who knew no glory but his country's good; to that he returned, happiest when his work was done. there he lived in noble simplicity, there he died in glory and peace.
