Tho Dust of Ages,

ALI the world lis covered Tricky
with the dust of ages, writes James G.
Purdy. What Of that? Nothing; only
the dust of ages-much Of it's the
dust of dead people. In dry weather
we sprinkle the ground to keep down
the dust OF remote ancestors. In wet
weather we wade through mud COM
pounded of forgotten generations.
We are curiously thoughtless of all
that. We fence in our cemeteries and
protect the graves there with reverent
care. The man who carelessly steps on
a sodded mound feels that he has desc
Grated the home Of the dead. Yet he
will tramp for miles along roads and
across fields with never thought of the
mortality beneath him.
Plenty of people arc afraid to live
near or even pass through, graveyard
because of possible ghosts. II ghosts
rise from graves, think of the disem-
bodied Indians and Mound Builders
q? e We mora aG% over the e skull IL
OF poor Yorick, because it happens to
have kept its shape. But when the
dead Caesar has turned to clay we
plaster up crack with him, never
bothering our brains about the wonder
full man he used to be. Well, that is
as it should be. II is natural, irevita-
ble and very desirable. For there
would be small cheer in life for any of
us ii we had to keep thinking Of the
dead people who count up the largest
total OF the human census. There are
so many of them that we never could
think of anything else if we thought
much of them. And in comfortably
forgetting them we may justify our
selves, if we choose. with this reflection.
A thousand years from now our poster
ity will be dealing with us precisely as
we are dealing to-day with those old
ancestors of ours.
