[From the New York Tribune.]
The family of Margaret Fuller Ossoli have just erected to her memory, and that of her husband and child, a marble monument in Mount Auburn cemetery, in Massachusetts. It is located on Pyrola Path, in a beautiful part of the grounds, and has near it some noble oaks, while the hand of affection has planted many a flower. The body of Margaret Fuller rests in the ocean, but her memory abides in many hearts. She needs no monumental stone but human affection loves thus to do honor to the departed. The following is the inscription on the monument:—
In Memory of
MARGARET FULLER OSSOLI,
Born in Cambridge, Mass., May 23, 1810.
By birth, a Citizen of New England; by adoption, a Citizen of Rome; by genius,
belonging to the World. In youth, an insatiate Student, seeking the
highest culture; in riper years, Teacher, Writer, Critic of Literature
and Art; in maturer age, Companion and Helper
of many earnest Reformers in America
and Europe.
And
In Memory or her Husband,
GIOVANNI ANGELO, MARQUIS OSSOLI
He gave up rank, station, and home for the Roman Republic,
and for his Wife and Child.
And
In Memory of that Child,
ANGELO EUGENE PHILIP OSSOLI,
Born in Rieti, Italy, Sept. 6, 1848,
Whose dust reposes at the foot of this stone.
They passed from life together by shipwreck,
July 19, 1850.
United in life by mutual love, labors, and trials, the merciful Father
took them together, and
In death they were not divided.
