Poem written by Oliver Wendell Holmes on George Peabody.
Bankrupt! Our pockets inside out! Empty of words to speak his praise! Worcester and Webster up the spout! Dead broke of laudatory phrases! Yet why with flowery speeches tease, With vain superlatives distress him? Has language better words than these,- The Friend of all his race, -God bless him!

A simple prayer, but words more sweet By human lips were never uttered Since Adam left the country seat Where angels' wings around him fluttered.

When he sailed on the steamer Persia for Liverpool, England, in Aug. 1857, he closed a visit of almost a year to his native land. During this time he travelled more than 13,000 miles, or more than one half the circumference of the globe. He visited twenty-six states of the Union, and the Canadas; he watched closely the business inter- ests and material resources of the country ; conducted gigantic monetary operations and founded benevolent

He conducted a correspondence almost fabulous in extent; he was con- fined for weeks with painful illness, and yet found time for the indulgence of all the bland courtesies of social life. More than this, he delighted in the mild and domestic virtues, and in manifestations of endearing attachment to kindred and home.
