244 • HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER.

On a small marble oblisk is the following :

Sacred to the memory of the REV. AUGUSTINE P. PREVOST, only son of the late Mrs. L. C. Palmer, who departed this life on the 15th of November, 1843, in the 37th year of his age, and the 8th of his ministry, 7 years of which he was Rector of St. John's Church, Canandaigua, N. Y.

Rest from thy labors, blessed spirit rest ; Tho' early called, God's ways are always best, Nor need this feeble, partial pen declare What was thy need, or what thy labors were. The poor, the desolate, the bad reclaimed Are mouths for thee, who never wert ashamed To own thy Master's cause before the great, Nor heeded frowns while laying bare their state ; A weeping flock, children mourn the loss Of their lov'd Pastor. Steadfast on the Cross He kept their gaze -- "Watch," was his latest cry,

" Neither is he that plartteth anything, neither he that tratereth. But God that giveth the increase." -- 1st Cor. 3d chap., 7th verse.
