LEXINGTON AND
ITS COMMON.....


The village Of Lexington lies about
ten miles northwest of Boston. The
first settlement was made there in
164O near the site of what afterwards
became known as the Buchanan Tav-
ern. There still remain in the village
several well-preserved houses which
were standing at the time of the bat
tie of Lexington 125 years ago. They
have been we'll cared for and have I'M
dergone little change. They add much
to the historic interest of the place
and are annually visited by thousands
of tourists. The local historical society
has placed tablets on them enumerat-
ing the dates and facts of especial in
terest.
Lexington Common is in the form
Of a triangle and stands nearly in the
center of the village. At the time of
the fight on April 10, 1875, it was an
open space and used as drill ground
for the militia. Today It is beautiful
park. At the southern end of the tri-
angle is what is known as the Pulpit
monument, in the form of a granite
pedestal surmounted by an open Bible.
This monument stands on the site of
the first three churches built by the
colonists Just behind 1t. properly
protected, is a thrifty elm which was
set out by Gen. Grant Is years ago
on the centennial anniversary OF the

There is color in his cheek,
There is courage in his eye; ".
Yet to drum beat and heart beat, .
In moment he must die.
BY starlight and moonlight 80
He seeks the Briton's camp,
He hears the rustling flag
Ard the armed sentry's tramp;
And the star light and moon light
His silent wanderings lamp.
With slow tread and still tread,
He scans the tented line:
And he counts the battery guns
By the gaunt and shadowy pine,
And his slow tread and still tread
Give no warning sign.
The dark wave, the plumed wave!
1t meets his eager glance,
And it sparkles meath the stars
Like the glimmer of lance
A dark wave, plumed wave,
On an emerald expanse.
A sharp clang, a steel clang!
And terror in the sound,
For the sentry, falcon-eyed,
In the camp a spy hath found;
With a sharp clang, steel clang
The patriot is bound.

FRANCIS M, FINCH,

NJ. F1NCd. -
With calm brow, steady brow,
He listens to his doom:
In his look there is no fear, t.
Nor shadow-trace Of gloom;
But with calm brow, and steady brow,
He robes him for the tomb.
In the long night, the still night,
He kneeis upon the Sod,
Aid the brutal guards withhold
Fen the precious Word of God;
In the long night, the still night,
He walks where Christ has trod.
Meath the blue morn, the sunny morn,
He dies upon the tree,
And he mourns that he can lose
But one life for liberty
And in the blue morn, the sunny morn,
His spirit wings are free.
But his last words his message words,
They burn, lest friendly eye
Should read how proud and calm
A patriot could die,
With his last words, his message words,
A soldiers battle-cry!
From Fame Leaf and from Angel Leaf,
From Monument and Urn,
The sad of earth, the glad of heaven,
His history shall learn,
And on Fame Leaf and Angel Leaf
The name of Hale shall burn.
