BROUGHT BY FAITHFUL HANDS OVER LAND AND SEA, HERE RESTS DAVID LIVINGSTONE, MISSIONARY, TRAVELER, PHILANTHROPIST, BORN MARCH 19, 1813, AT BLANTYRE, LANARKSHIRE. DIED MAY 4,[28] 1873, AT CHITAMBO'S VILLAGE, ILALA. For thirty years his life was spent in an unwearied effort to evangelize the native races, to explore the undiscovered secrets, and abolish the desolating slave-trade of Central Africa, and where, with his last words he wrote: "All I can say in my solitude is, may Heaven's rich blessing come down on every one--American, English, Turk--who will help to heal this open sore of the world." Along the right border of the stone are the words: TANTUS AMOR VERI, NIHIL EST QUOD NOSCERE MALIM QUAM FLUVII CAUSAS PER SAECULA TANTA LATENTES. And along the left border: OTHER SHEEP I HAVE WHICH ARE NOT OF THIS FOLD, THEM ALSO I MUST BRING, AND THEY SHALL HEAR MY VOICE. _Blaikie's "Personal Life of Livingstone."_ The late E. J. Glane, who crossed Africa in the interest of _The Century_, makes the following entry in his journal: July 9. To-day I revisited the tree where Livingstone died, and in order to guide others to the exact spot, in case this tree should disappear from any cause, I selected another big tree likely to last many years, cleared away two and a half square feet of its bark, and in the space marked as follows: "This tree is magnetic southwest of the tree where Livingstone's remains are buried, and is forty-five paces from it." I brought away a bit of the bark of the memorable tree--a dead part, so as not to be guilty of vandalism.[29] Livingstone's grave is in a quiet nook, such as he himself desired, in the outskirts of a forest bordering on a grass plain where the roan buck and eland roam in safety. When I visited the place turtle-doves were cooing in the tree-tops, and a litter of young hyenas had been playing near by; in the low ground outside the hole leading to the cave were their recent tracks; they had scampered into safety at our approach. [28] In the _Last Journals_ the date is May 1st; on the stone, May 4th. The attendants could not quite determine the day. [29] The section of the tree containing the inscription made by Jacob Wainwright has been brought to England and deposited in the house of the Geographical Society. LOCKE (John, author of the celebrated "Essay Concerning the Human Understanding"), 1632-1704. "_O, the depth of the riches of the goodness and knowledge of God!_" Some authorities say his last words were, "Cease now;" to Lady Masham who was reading to him a Psalm of David. LONGFELLOW (Henry Wadsworth), 1807-1882. "_Now I know that I must be very ill, since you have been sent for_," said to his sister who came from Portland, Me.
