kixty years have now elapsed since the very latest of these trans¬ actions were had, and seventy-four years since the first, as contained in the first year's record. Soon it will be a century, then two cent¬ uries, and then two centuries and a half, which is drawing closely upon the life of the written records that were made nearly a century ago. The inferior paper made in that day then begins to decay and become so tender and brittle that, with the least handling, it is defaced, and falls in broken bits.

Of all those mentioned of the many names given of the early comers to the county, you could count them all on the fingers of one hand. They have moved on to the silent city, and the most of tlieir bodies are again mingling with the elements from which they originally came.

It is only the lowest or meanest order of human beings that feel no regret at the idea of immediate and utter forgetfulness with the passing awrny of life. When you are away from home, you gain your chief pleasure from the reflection that there are those who ever bear you in mind and who so frequently think and talk of you. There may be those who not only have no home, but no place" nor person in all the world who would wish for their return, or their present welfare, or even bear with them the memory of the past. But such people are so rare, even if there be any, that they are unnatural.

When another brief eighty years have come and gone, all this animate life that is now so noisy, so busy, so rushing aloim- the great highway, struggling, fighting, helping, crying and laugliing, will, in their turn, be as silent as are the dead who are herein - befoie lecoided. Let us hope that we then may be done by as we have tried here to do by our ancestors.
