regard to the manner in which the
occupant of the maiden's grave met
her death-near Beowaws-but the
true account as told by her half sister,
now residing at 2,063 San Pablo
Avenue, Oakland, is as follows:

son and daughter, were crossing the

down with the measles. A severe

time Phoebe Currie, aged sixteen
years, was laid to rest in her lonely
grave on the hill, and some years later
the spot was marked by the cross now
standing, with the inscription,
'Maiden's Grave, upon it,"
The following lines were written by
the California poet, Jessep, on catch
ing a glimpse of the grave from the
flying train:
Over the desert the East winds are sweeping,
Bending the sage brush tops to the West.
A strange lonely bed for such tenderness sleep
In such vast silence SO perfect TO rest
Sand for her winding sheet, stone for her pillow,
God and great nature to hailow her grave,
Far from hor home by Atlantics bearse billows,
Aud Iear to her goal BY Paciflc's blue waves.
81 eepeth the maiden; the Summers sun blindly
stares down on her. and sees not her tomb
Winters rains me and weep over her kindly,
bay has its brightness and night has its loom.
So they have come for Winter and Summer.
Who knows how may years have sped?
Who counts the trains OF the emigrant comers
As they pass 80 near her lonely bed?
Who knows her death, II she wearied and sick
ened
Over the tolls tina. her journey had brought.
Perishing just as her pulse had quickened
By the FIRST breath Of the land she had
sought
Who knows her mother by whom she wac cher
