Many a man has had a. tine tide to his
grave who during this life had Io walk
all the way. A big funeral, and instead
of bread they gave him a stone, that is
a tomb stone. But death ’.hat brings quiet
to the body of others did not filing quiet
to his. First, buried in the ehur-'h of Santa
Maria. Seven years after removed to
Seville. Twenty-three years afterward re
moved to San Domingo. Finally removed
to Cuba. Four post-mortem journeys Irom
sepulchre to sepulchre. I wish his bones
might be moved just once moi •?, and now
that they come so near to America as Cuba,
they might during the great Columbian
year be transported to our own shores
when* they belong, and that in the fifth
century after his decease the American con
tinent might be built a maiissoleum worthy
of him who picked this jewel of the hem
isphere out of the sea and set it in the
crown of the world's geography.
