OF wholesome life in growing Things.
Trembling of blossom, blade anu
wings.
Perfume and beauty everywhere.-
Skies. trees, and grass, the very loan,
] love them all; this is our home.
Million on million years have sped
To frame green fields and towering
bills;
The mortal for a moment tilis
His span on earth. then is he dead
This knows he well. yet doth behold
His paradise like miseE,s golas SgF
I woufdsbe nobIer than to chacWM
My little world with gloating gasp:
Now. while live. my hands unclasb,
Or LET me hold it not so much 'sS~sA-s-z---1s
For my own joy as for the good -.
OF all the gentle brotherhood ssA
And as the seasons move in mirth
OF bloom and birds. of snow and leaf,
May my calm spirit rise from grief
In solace Of the lovely earth;
And though the land lie dark or lit,
Let me but gather songs from it.-R.

In historic and picturesque old
Hampden-the town which has so many
attractions to the antiquarian and stu
dent of local history, is a cemetery, in
disuse for many years, which contains
the remains of numerous soldiers of the
Revolution. Back from the main street
of the town which is now traversed by
trolley cars, and almost hidden from
view by the Town hall and other build
ings, the burying ground is frequently
sought out by persons looking for quaint
epitaphs and for reminders of the
pioneer settlers of the town. According
to the authorities on the towns history,
this old cemetery in which Il new grave
has not been opened for nearly Il CEN
fury, was the first burial place in
Hampden. Some of the headstones
which are even now in good state of
preservation, show, by their dates, that
interments were made as late as 1903,
but most of the markers We're placed
during the last of the 18th century, in
the years Immediately following the
close of the Revolution. 1t was proba
bly, soon after the second war with
Great Britain, during which Hampden
and Bangor We're besieged by British
fleet that the location of the cemetery
was changed to its present site, just
across the road. With the purchase of
the new burying ground, many of the
remains were removed from the an
cient cemetery but others We're left I'M
disturbed.
Thanks to the Daughters of the
A -l,o how ,,la
their appropriate markers at the graves
of the Revolutionary sildiers it is,
therefore, no problem to locate the
resting place of these heroes Of Wash
ington's times. Among the conspicu-
Gus lots is that of Col. Gabriel Johonnot,
one of the pioneers Of the town of
Hampden. AS an example o. the nu-
merous quaint epitaphs to be found on
stones in the cemetery. the following
which marks the grave of Miss Ruth S.
Young. who died Nov. IA, 1903, at the
age of IA years, is a good example:
blooming youth as you pass by,
Remember you are born to die.
MY body here lies in the dust
In hopes to rise among the Just.
AZ monument that is sure to attract
attention is that which denotes the
resting place of Daniel Neal, Revo-
lutionary soldier This stone was
cleaved by stroke of lightning away
back in the year 1910 and to this day
the two sections of the marble remain
as after shattered by the bolt one
piece upright while the other lies on the
ground a short distance apart. One
of the best evidences of the age Of the
old cemetery, aside from it's thicl.
growth of brush and shrubbery, which,
in many instances, completely hide
from view the smoothly worn mounds
is the tall birch tree which has sprung
up from the very head of the grave of
Freeman Cobb, whose stone bears the
date of 1898.
