Kome - time ago on a sombre
sullen Sunday, in the companion
ship of no one, I wandered into a
silent city of the dead in the gold
en west, and there under the
canopy of a leaden sky, without
any sound to disturb the reverie
into which I had fallen, save the
chimes of church bells which
called good men and women to
the altar of worship," I stood uu
covered before a dignifled and
simple piece of granite,.- hewed
from the rocks he loved' so well,
that marks the resting place, the
chamber in which sleeps one of
the masters of English." John
James Ingalls. While thus con
templating this singular am
fascinating personality, my mind
instinctively recalled. his famous
"Opportunitv." his sarcasm and
wit, and while thus lost in con
templation,- I read in modest
bronze upon the boulder his ex
qnisite and apnropriateexpres-
sToiijf T "T
When life's: -fitful fever is ended,
And the wrangle of the market
And the forum have been closed,
(irass heals the scar which our
descent
Into the bosom of the earth has
made,
And the carpet of the infant
Heroines the blanket of the dead
It has been said that' I he man
who can grow two blades of

that singlar and mystifying nec

as it is fed by hope of fame,

shapeless niarble metamorphosed
into living entities that their
creators may live in the niche of
fame, and lives be sacrificed in
senseless wars to immortalize
ambition's child, but I would
rather have a monument to my
memory such as is paid here to
day than all the shafts of marble
at the altar of fame. To know
that some loving hand will plant
a flower upon a grave, or some
sorrow at a -dissolution is the
greatest monument of all. I
have stood under the shadows of
a monument reared to the mem
ory of Burns by his grateful
countrymen and in fancy- heard
the sea moan over his death. . I
have ntood at the grave of Tasso
and dreamed of his Jerusalem
Deliveral, while his resting place
remained unmarked. I have stood
in the gallery at, Dresden, awed
and enthralled with the trans
cendental genius of Raphael, as
his divine creation of the Sistine
Madonna Lurus-her inetrable halo
into the heart. I have leaned up
on the marble balustrade In the
Church' of the Invajides, where
sleeps -the resiles Napoleon; I

in fancy the protest of its silent
stones against the crimes. of Ro
man brutality; I bave been in the!
tails of the palace o'f a king dec
orated with the blootly trophies
of xi senseless ; war, but of .all
these tributes to greatness, and
genius which the present pays to
the past, none can approximate
in . intensity and feeling that
sentiment which prompts - u
with each coming year to stand
in memory upon the edge of an
unmarked grave and shed a . tear
for -our unforgotlen. dead.
To the undying dead who live
in the memory of affection, I pay
the tribute of this brotherhood,
to their living friends I ofTer the
consolation of lives well spent
and which has made the world
belter for their being in it.
Farewell, a long farewell, and
as you sleep in silent dreamless-
ness in God's holy acre, while the
soft winds sing a requiem and
the weeping heavens shed a tear
upon vour resting place, let it be
said of them and you when (.od s
linger touches your eyelids in
death that you were one "where
even God did seem to set his seal
and give the world assurance of
a man."
Such an epitaph engraved up
on the hearts of loving friends is
the proudest legacy and gentlest
memory that man can leave to
those who follow after him. Sleep
on, sleep on, and with each com
ing of this holy month the
ilowers of unforget fulness will
be placed by loving hands upon
your bier.
Some time ago, while sealed at
a table in a public park, amid its
mvriad of dazzling lights alone, I
listened to the exquisite strains
of the Traumme.rie as its sweet
sounds stole over me, but seem
ingly fell upon thf unwilling ears
of idle men and women who pit
ferred the sound of clinking
glasses to the melody of music
Aroused from the reverie into
which I had fallen, forgetting the
beautiful women who. hung lov-
inglv, amorously and tenderly
upon the arms of their degenerate
companions, I unconsciously
pulled from my pocket a piece of
folded paper, torn, soiled and
lingered, for I had read it often;
it was a few line written by a
friend upon the Equality of Man
in Death.
Only a little longer
And the journey is done, my
friend,
Only a little farther
And the road will have an end
The shadows begin lo lengthen,
The evening soon will close.
And it's ho for the inn of the
sexton
And the inn where we'll all re
pose. The inn has no bridal chamber,
No suites for the famed or
great ;
The guests who go there to
slumber
Are all of the same estate.
The chambers are small and
narrow,
The couches are hard and cold;
And the grinning, lleshless land
lord Is not to be bribed with gold.
A sheet for the proud and
haughty, '
A shroud for the beggar guest;
A sheet for the blooming maiden,
A shroud for us all and rest.
No bells at the dawn of morning,
No rap at the chamber door;
But silence is there and slumber
Forever and evermore.
Then ho for the inn of the sextn.
The inn where we all must
sleep.
When our hands are done with
.toiling
And our eyes bave ceased to
weep.
