GRANT.

Breathe it calmly, speak it low,
Let the soul in silence weep,
Drape the land with hearts of woe,
That the world may sadly know
Grant has passed to endless sleep.
Spread the roses on his bier,
Hang the garlands on his tomb,
Where our love and falling tear
Would forever lilies rear,
Would forever make them bloom.
Thrilled by deaths appalling knock,
Here we shudder where we stand,
For the tidings send a shock,
Like the FITTINGS Of a rock,
That upheaveth all the land.
All our glory's swept away,
And the pulse of pride Is still,
And the splendor of the d0
Is a phantom of dismay
On the brow of sorrcv's hill.
The hoary years shall bev the head
To Grants immortl name,
And heroes lead as ons he led,
And on their country glory shed
The luster of hifame.
Serene and calm aAutumn's eve
Beneath tepsr sky,
His creed sublim~as to forgive,
He taught mankd the way to live,
And showeehem how to die.

PASSING BEFORE THE TOMB.
Taking a Lat Look at the Cask e1
Before the Vault vvas Closed.

Before the Vault was Closed.
AS the last gun of the presidential salute
was fired the Seventh and Twenty-second
regiments of the National Guard, which was
formed in double column on the western
boundary of the park, faced about and began
their march from the ground. Back of these
regiments stood a crowd that extended from
the line of gray and white to the edge Of the
bank that overlooked the Hudson As the
march began four sentinels took position
about the vault, one at each corner They
were selected from Battery H, Fifth United
States Artillery. The Federal forces followed
those of the National Guard.
For hours the immense crowd had stood
outside of this line without thought of VEN
turing beyond it. When the rear ranks in
their desire to obtain glimpse of what was
occurring in the, to them, charmed circle,
would push forward the inner ranks would
make the most desperate efforts to prevent
the line from being broken The officers in
consequence We're put to comparatively little
| trouble in keeping the space clear. Their
presence Oh the ground seemed to be suf1i
Gent. The moment they retired from their
each one of the waiting thousands.
There was wild and sudden rush from all
sides to a common center. For hours thouS
sands of men and women had stood patiently
in the sun, buoyed up with the hope OF wit
Messing not only the funeral ceremonies Of
General Grant. but of examining as closely
! as possible the tomb to which his remains had
been consigned. Now that there seemed to
be no obstacle to the fulfillment of this de-
sire, the imaginary line was wiped out in an
instant. The huge stands that faced the front
and rear of the vault were deserted almost
as quickly as if their occupants had been
hurled to the ground against their
will. Most of the carriages had left the drive.
Those which remained were unable to move
for fifteen minutes. Their drivers could do
nothing but try to quiet their frightened
horses The crowd that had occupied the
ground on the eastern boundary of the park
surged around and past them in a solid mass
and then swept across the open space, be-
yond which lay the tomb, with the rush OF a
mountain torrent.
| For hours men and women filed past the
tomb The inner door of oak was thrown
back The outer door of iron lattice work
was closed, but through the bars the interior
of the tomb and the casket which contained
the remains could be plainly seen. No one
was allowed to stop, or even to hesitate in
the hasty march, as those in front were sub
iected to constant and heavy pressure by
those in the rear Those who passed the
tomb had simply al, opportunity of casting a
fleeing glance at its interior. Few probably
saw the caszet, as they had little idea OF what
to expect. But the fact that they had looked
at the spot where General Grants body lay
seemed to satisfy everybody.
The crowd Of persons eager and curious to
peer into the tomb pressed On in seemingly
