Of officials desiring TO attend It was found
necessary TO limit admission by card.
The cards of admission to the church. some
700 ia number, had been issued TO members
Of the House aud Senate. supreme court jus.
tices, families OF cabinet officers diplomats and
officials OF the treasury and other departments.
The diplomatic corps was largely represented,
among the number present being the British
minister and representatives OF nearly AL the
leading nations. After the remains were
borne through the aisle of the already crowd
ed church and the family and those who ar.
rived from the residence had taken seats
every available foot Of space in the church
was rapidly filled.
Rev. DR.. Hamlin offcisted. The services
began with reading scripture, followed BY
prayer, in which the Borrowing family and
his associates and the nation were remember
ed. After further reading Of the scriptures
and appropriate selections Of music, DR.. Ham,
lindelivered a brief but eloquent address, re
ferring to the eminent services Of the dead
statesman and his consistent christian life
witch he characterized as the most comfort
ing thought to all at this trying moment
At the conclusion of the services the remains
were removed to the hearse, and long line
of carriages containing besides the family and
cabinet, members ofCongress, judiciary. treas.
ury officials and others, took up the line Of
march to Rock Creek cemetery. which is some
two miles distant from the church, where a
grave has been prepared for interment. The
services Of the grave consisted Of the reading
of the burial service of the Presbyterian
Church and brief prayer, after which the
remains were consigned to their last resting
place.
There we're evidence of the deepest sorrow
throughout the city during the day. Flags
on all public buildings were at hSlEmast, al
departments and the postofice closed the su.
preme court was adjourned without perform
ing any business, and the House aud Senate
deferred their meeting until o'clock to en-
able the members to attend the services aud

GRASS VALE.

Grassvale lay hidden in the hills in idoleni
repose,
1t lay there, like snowflake, in the bosom
of rose
Against The mountains on the East, the East
winds vainly pressed,
And the mountains stopped the fury of the
storm-burst from the West.
But the Grassvale people waited for rail-
road to come down,
And tunnel through the mountains and wind
grandly into town;
Through the weed-grown streets Of Grassvale
men would saunter to and fro
And tell how, when the railroad came, the
little town would grow.
Every night to Durkee's grocery came q
crowd of men to talk it
With big empires in their fancy and two
nickels in their pscket;
But the crowd trod down the dahlias In each
housewives small front yard,
And whole droves of pigs went roofing down
thy village boulevard
Every morn the magic sunrise all the eastern
hills would streak,
And God flung His sunset banner from the
topmost western peak;
But moss grew on the houses where no paint
had yet appeared,
As the face that has no beauty is the first to
raise beard
The chimney of the old town hall was thrown
down by the rain,
And they stuck rusty funnel through the
bottom window pane;
AT the little church the steeple blew of one
tempestuous day,
And they left it as rendezvous where hens
could go and lay.
The great dream Of the railroad banished
their uneasy fears.
Although they had suit of clothes but once
in fifteen years;
For they reasoned when the railroad should
come winding down their way
They should have pair of trousers almost
every other day.
And we all wait for our railroad, while our
front yards grow with thistle,
Lay and listen in our valley for the locomo-
tive's whistle:
Yes, We build up mighty railroads in our
superhuman brain,
While we ought to climb our mountains and
just foot it to the train.
