Such a man was Niemcivitz. So was he wept; so will he be remembered,
proving, indeed, most convincingly, that there is a standard set up
in men's hearts, if they would but look to it, which, whatever be
their minor clashing opinions, shows that the truly great and good in
this earth are all of one family in the estimation of pure intellect,
the spiritual organ of all just estimation, which is, in fact, that
of the kingdom of heaven--that kingdom which, if its laws to man were
properly preserved and obeyed, would spread the shepherds' promised
"peace and good-will to all mankind." But men may listen, approve,
and admire, and yet withhold obedience. But why will the heirs of
such a covenant, with sight and hearing, die from its inheritance?
Kosciusko and Niemcivitz were real appreciators of so rich a
birthright in "the better country!" and now are gone to Him who
purchased it by His most precious blood, to enter with Him forever
into its peaceful and glorious rest.
