GRAVE OP WILLIAM PENN. 335

wont to pass a part of the summer months, with an endeared relative. In its vicinity is the grave of Wil liam Penn, severe in its simplicity, marked only by a mound of earth. And there, memories of that plain- garbed, firm-souled man, who crossed the ocean to bear the spirit of peace, and to found our beautiful city of brotherly love, mingled with those of the classic, pen sive, picturesque poet, whose Elegy, standing as we did in its secluded birthplace, we felt would be read and loved, as long as the " still sad music of humanity" shall vibrate through the hearts of men.
