The town of Easton, and indeed it may be said the county at tlarge, has suf- fered a grievous loss in the death of Benjamin T. Beers. His character was above reproach, and in all the activities of life he was ever gentleman and a Christian. He was of type of man. hood that Is sorely needed in our coun- try life, and the passing away of such a character makes serious gap. His in- fluence for good will long be felt in the town in which he resided.

spy was hanged. and in the meantime he
had been supplied with every possible
comfort and treated with distinguished
consideration. The tears of those who had
been his enemies in arms bedewed his
grave. and their sympathies found expires
sion in kindly letters to his mother and
sisters. His king also testified to his
memory by erecting handsome monument
in Westminster Abbey.
But sadder romance yet clings to the
death of young Hale.
The young maiden to whom his last
thoughts Of love went out was worthy of
all the affection he had bestowed upon her
and she never forgot him.
For three quarters of IA century we are
told she toiled on, wrinkled, bent and fail
ing, but even before her unfading memory
always stood the gallant, handsome Nathan
Hale, with the bloom of health upon his
cheek that was there when he spoke his
last farewell at the little garden gate of
her mother cottage.
She could still see him before her as on
that beautiful but fateful September after
noon he stood with the fire of patriotism
kindling his youthful figure into glorious
manhood.
Years after her beloved had met hero
death she yielded to the pleading of one
who had long loved her silently, and by
the advice of her friends she gave him her
hand in marriage; but she never forgot.
Seventy-tive years after Capt. Hale had
given his life to his country she who had
been betrothed to him was removed by the
angel Of death The messenger found her
ready and willing to 90, for she had waited
patiently for many weary years. Waiting
and for whom? During the delirium OF
her last illness she repeatedly called for
Nathan, " and talked to him of the days
when they had been together. and with
his name upon her lips she passed into
| eternity to meet him.
| The statue of the marty spy stands in
the City Hall Park, New York, and was
erected by the Society of the Sons of the
| Revolution. 1t is of bronze. and repre-
sents Hale at the moment that he uttered
his famous exclamation. He stands erect
with his feet bound together and arms
bound behind his back His shoulders are
thrown back and his head is erect, while
his face wears an expression Of heroic sac
rifice. He is dressed in the Continental
uniform, with knickerbockers, wooden
stockings he'd heavy shoes. His shirt
is torn open, barring the throat and chest.
The figure is that of a young and active
man. PEeSriHe. Nd
