[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:—
| Erected |
| 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 of 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. 5, 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. |

These lines are beautiful and full of sweet sympathy. The home of the mother and brother of Margaret Fuller being now removed from Manchester to Boston, the remains of the little child, too dear to remain distant from us, have been removed to Mount Auburn. The same marble slab is there with, its inscription, and the lines deserve insertion here.—ED.
