We  bow  not  the  neck  and  we  bow  not  the  knee,
But  our  hearts,  Lafayette,  we  surrender  to  thee."  1

Next  day  Lafayette  attended  the  commence
ment  exercises  at  Harvard,  where  he  occupied
the  seat  of  honor.  Here  it  was  that  Edward
Everett  pronounced  one  of  his  matchless  eulo
gies,  and  at  its  close  "  every  one  in  the  assem
bly  was  in  tears."  2

By  the  middle  of  September  we  find  our
national  guest  again  in  New  York.  In  Castle
Garden  a  magnificent  banquet  was  given  in
his  honor,  and  of  the  thousands  present,  every
one  wore  a.  badge  or  likeness  of  Lafayette.
