THE UMPIRE OF THE NINE.

THE UMPIRE OF THE NINE.
An umpire of the league mines,
Lay dying at the plate,
And the CORY rocks about him
Told the story of his fate.
He had made a rank decision,
And the crowd, in frenzy deep,
Had shuffled off his mortal coil
By rocking him to sleep.
The catcher stood beside him
AS his life blood ebbed away,
And swung his bat with vigor
To keep the crowd at bay.
The dying umpire beckoned,
And the captain of the nine
Bent over him in sorrow,
For he feared another fine.
But the umpire's words came feebly
AS the crisis was at hand,
His dimmed eyes were soon to open
In brighter, fairer land.
Then he whispered, low and sadly,
Call the game, it's getting dark;
Let IL END on even innings,
So the last run do not mark.
81 have finished watching bases;
! am numbered with the slain,
And the cry of rats will never
Echo in my ears again.
"Place my hand upon the home plate;
Let me have my little mask
Frame a set of resolutions;
This is all have to ask"
The dying umpire faltered,
His face turned toward the sun,
One gasp, and all was over;
1t was his last home run.
They buried him at twilight
In hole they quickly made,
And no stone marks the lonely spot
Where the weary umpire's laid.
