sleepy Hollow Cemetery.

Sleepy Hollow cemetery, the burial
place Of Washington Irving. directly
across the Hudson from Nyack, is so
crowded that it has been found neces-
sary to enlarge the grounds by the pur-
chase of some adjacent property. The
addition TO the cemetery will be made
on the north side of the beautiful
grounds, and will consist of forty-one
and one-half acres, purchased at cost
Of $4,000. Sleepy Hollow cemetery is
visited by thousands of strangers every
year, who are drawn thither by the his
toric interest which centers there, and
the burial-place of Washington Irving
claims the attention of all.-New York

And then wrote but line or two,
Ere to seclusiOn babe Adieu

Declare the National Poet is, The Bard of

The Bard is by no means modest,
and has told her autobiography In
verse to the following effect:
In peaceful cottage by the sea
\ couple dwclt in harmony;
Ere breath Of scandal reached the ear
OF him about his Wife held dear.
lie was drafted man In War,
Aud falsehood had been written afar
BY Old Maid, who tried to marry in vain
The letter bore the signature of an honest
mans name.
Though the letter was a forgery he went out
of his head
Soon as honest mans names to the stories
he read,
And declared he would kill his wife either
sooner or late;
Crazed fourteen years and then died very
sad, sad fate.
The cottage was not quite as near to the sea,
As the Susquehanna River was flowing
peacefully
Through town of the same name, way
down toward the sen,
Dwelt happy couple once, and one of that
couple was me.
Then bereft of my children for many long
years,
Crazed husband had stolen them because he
had fears
Because of the falschood the old maid did
write.

the military gentleman known as Cali
fornia Kelley" the Bard was teaching
school in Susquehanna County, Pa.
In one of her effusions she says:
am thinking, am thinking
OF the days when was young;
was the very best Of teachers,
At least my praises SO were sung.
BY A. n. Bullard, Superintendent
OF Susquehanna County at that time,
| was educated most resplendent.
II is evident, from the closing stanza
of her poem, Bury Me Beside My
Husband" that while Mrs. Kelley docs
not expect to be immortal in one sense,
she is quite confident of it in another:
Bury me in jackson Cemetery, very beau
tiful place.
Let the officiating Minister be the Rector of
Grace
Catholic Protestant Episcopal Church OF
Honesdale, Pa,
The Bard Of Shanty Hill, whose Fame shall
never fade away.
Mrs. Kelley said when she left Port
Jervis last that she would never leave
Washington until Congress had granted
her request; so it is probable that Con
grcss will have to submit.
