The floor is inlaid, and the windows, which are of opalescent glass,
throw over the structure a soft white light, admitting of the perfect
harmony of colours which everywhere adorn this very beautiful chapel.

Almost all whose names I have mentioned in these reminiscences are
gone. There are many others equally dear about whom I cannot for want
of time and space write here; most of them have also passed away.
They can no longer sing the old songs, or tell the old tales, but
their memory remains, and the pleasant melody of their lives. I enjoy
their companionship now in the quietude of my home, and their memory
brightens even the sweet twilight of the evening hours. But it all
reminds me that the signal has been given to ring the curtain down.
I therefore make a last and momentary appearance in the closing drama,
only to bid all and every one with whom I have been associated in
times past and in times recent, as the curtain falls,
AN AFFECTIONATE FAREWELL.
