In subse- quent ages, it may be a hundred years or more, when, by the ravages of time, the violence of man or the fury of the elements, this stone shall yield its contents to view again, the people then living will be permitted to hear a living voice that has been boxed up for a hundred years or more ; all of which is very instructive.
