The Tents Of
The Silent
! s-s-Aee.s-i-oe-a-ise.As~@4-tee.sAe

The village of Brokenstraw had two
cemeteries. One lay to the east of the
! settlement, on the road to Birchvlle.
1t was surrounded by neat white
picket fence and boosted large,
square gateway of quite imposing di-
mansions. 1t was laid out In severe
squares and stiff paths and rigid tri-
angles and, like many another country
graveyard, was devoid Of shade.
Every lot was we'll trimmed and care
fully weeded Many possessed rustic
chairs and benches. Thrift and care
were apparent on every hand. Broken
straw was proud of the East cemetery
and always pointed it out to strangers
with commendable vanity.
Thar hain't nothin," said Deacon
Paget, the oracle of Brokenstraw-
thar hain't nothn tibet so sets off a
town as a well kept graveyard Thar
hain't nothin thet shows the enterprise
Nv the place so well. Jest look at the
East cemetery an see what the towns
made Nv thet an then compare it with
tibet miserable, shiftless buryin ground
on the hill Why, faint nothin more
nor less than a parsture. It's a dis
grace to the hull community"
The burying ground on the hill was
west of the village. A wooded height
rose abruptly from the town, and on
its summit WAS the neglected grave
yard. 1t was lovely spot. Grand old
pines and naples swayed above the
few lonely graves. The mountain lau-
rel and sweet brler perfumed the
woods in summer and the scarlet tea
berries peeped through the moss in au-
tumn. A winding path, thickly over
hung with outstretching boughs, led
up the hill and around its brow, from
which an extensive view of the valley
below was obtainable. 1t was q spot
for the poet and dreamer, not for the
typical village materialist.
"The buryin ground on the hill' was
an eyesore to the hamlet Of Broken
straw. The inhabitants had long de-
sired to obtain possession OF 1t that
they might hew down the mighty
trees, clean out the dense forest under
brush. put up smart picket fence and
fix things up generally. according to
the standard of rural graveyard gar
dening.
But the place belonged to a private
estate and there was an heir who

COVER THEM OVER.

Cover them over with beautiful flowers;
Deck them with garlands, those brothers of ours,
Lying so silently by night and by day
Sleeping the years of their manhood away.
Give them the need they have won in the past
Give them the honors their future forecast;
Give them the chaplets they won in the strife;
Give them the laurels they lost with their life.
Eover the hearts that have beaten so high
Beaten with hopes that were doomed but to die
Hearts that have burned in the heat of the fray
Hearts that have yearned for the home far away.
Once they were glowing with friendship and love;
Now their great souls have gone soaring above.
Bsavely their blood to the nation they gave;
Then in her bosom they found them a grave.
Cover the thousands who sleep far away,
Sleep where their friends cannot find them today;
They, who in mountain and hillside and dell,
Rest where they wearied and lie where they fell.
Softly the grass blades creep round their repose;
sweetly above them the wild fow'ret blows;
Zephyrs of freedom fly gently o'erhead,
Whispering prayers for the patriot dead.
When the long years have rolled slowly away,
Fen to the dawn of earth's funeral day;
When at the angels loud trumpet and tread
Rise up the faces and forms of the dead;
When the great world its last judgment awaits
When the blue sky shall fling open its gates,
And our long columns march silently through,
Past the Great Captain for final review
