THE burial place of the founder of Harvard College has long ceased to be marked, by any thing which designated the spot in the church-yard, where reposed the mortal remains of one whose name and memory are truly imperishable. Even the slab which, with the primitive simplicity of New England habits, tells the name and age of the deceased, was gone ; and tradition, only, pointed out the place consecrated to his ashes. His best monu- ment has always been the growing institution to which he gave such an efficient impulse. However unnecessary to his renown,
