"Old Burying Yard Hin "

1.-THE wales are sweet with fern and rose,
The hills are maple. crowned
But not from these our fathers chose
The village burying ground.
1.-THE drearest spot in all the earth
To Death they set apart
With scanty grace from Natures hand
And none from that of Art"
Tn Sc words from Whittier do not apply
to what has been known to the people of this
village for hundred years as "Old Burying
Yard HILL" For this is truly beautiful
spot. Situated in what is now the center of
the village, it is the highest ground within
its bounds, and the view from this hill top is
one of the most beautiful in this vicinity,
with the valleys of the Carrabassett and the
mill stream stretching away to the west and
the north, the former terminating with the
peaks Of Mt. Abram and Bigelow, some
forty miles away. Green woodlands bound
he horizon on the south, while to the east
may be seen the shining waters of the Ken
nebec and beyond that the rising hills of
Madison covered with well-tlled farms. To
the north and northeast can be seen the top
of Moxie mountain in the distance, while
nearer are the white gables of the farmhouses
really a picturesque spot which the crude
forefathers" of the hamlet of "Seven Mile
Brook" chose for the resting place of their
dead.
1t is not known when this ground was
dedicated as Goods acre" but there is good
authority for believing that the present vii
lage cemetery was first used as burial place
about the year 1880, 50 that doubtless but few
were made here. after this date. 1t seems to
have been abandoned long before 1860, for in
that year liberty pole was erected upon this
hill. The workmen supposing they had
selected a spot where there were no graves,
commenced to dig and soon struck the lid of
coffin. Changing their course little, they
set the pole at the head of the coffin ard
there it stood for many years, while from its
top "Old Glory waved in the breeze.
a few crumbling stones-fourteen in num-
Der, still mark the graves where long since
the dust returned to dust, as it were. Time
has dealt so harshly with the inscriptions on
the stones that in some instances they not
decipherable. OF those that can be read, the
following may be of interest to our readers:
In memory of Mrs. Dalnda Norris, wife
of Capt. Josiah Norris, who died March
II, 1880, aged ~ years.
Here by the couch of lowly sleep
Shall friends and kindred often weep
And bending DER thy humble tomb
Shall long deplore thy youthful bloom.

In memory of Mary 5, daughter Of Mr..

A double headstone contains the names
Of twins, while the left side reads as fol-
lows: In memory of Arthur Dnsmore
who died Jan. 10, 1872, aged ? hours.
The inscription on the right side reads :;
In memory of Robert, twin to Arthur,
who died at the same time.
OF the families represented by the above
names, nearly all still have descendants living
in this village.
As this first village cemetery is now a pub
lie thoroughfare for pedestrians who would
take short path for the shank factory and
the depot, would it not be showing more re-
spect for the dead to remove their dust to the
cemetery on Pleasant street and have the
headstones properly set? -Anson Advocate.

TO WE'D A POOR SOLDIER.
Lord Rosebery's Daughter Engaged to
a Lieutenant of Coldstream Guards.

Lord Rosebery's Daughter Engaged TO
a Lieutenant of Coldstream Guards.
London letter: Socially the most talked
Of event of the week has been the engage
ment OF Lord Rosebery's elder daughter,
Lady Sybil Primrose, to Lieutenant
Charles Grant of the Coldstream guards.
Very few persons expected the engage
ment, though the young people have been
seen a great deal with each other lately,
being fellow guests at more than one big
party.
1t is considered quite a love match.
Lieutenant Grant is not at all a wealthy
young man, nor has he any title in sight
through any relative. But he is as brave
as he is handsome, and he did good work
in the recent war in South Africa.
Lady Sybil, who from girlhood has been
much In the public gaze, was, like her
younger sister, Lady Peggy, who was
married to the earl Of Crewe three years
ago, a great taVorite of the late queen.
In appearance she is like her father, but
dark. She has delightful manners, which
have stood her in good stead when acting
hostess for her father, assisting him TO
entertain royalties and all the best known
men and women Of the day.
Among the celebrities with which Lady
Sybil came in contact was Bismarck, who
said the little girl, as she was then, spoke
his language better than any English girl
ne had ever met.
When she was but two months old Mr..
Gladstone CAV her the nam Of Suffrage
Babe" This was during the late states
mans Midlothian campaign, In which
Lord and Lady Rosebery rendered such
hearty service to the great liberal eader.

NINTH JOB
Given Up by Governor Taft, the Man of
designations.

SIVSn Up ny governor art, the Man OF
designations.
New York World: There is little doubt.
If any, that the president will appoint
Governor Taft to the United States SUI
preme court bench to succeed Justice
Shiras, who retires next October on &C.
count Of age. When Judge Taft is named
he will add another resignation to his al
ready long list.
No man in official life in the United
States has so large a number Of resigna-
lions 10 his credit. He has already given
up eight offices, and the probability is
that he Will have ten designations to his
credit before he finishes his upward
stride, as 1t is understood to be the in
tention of the president to make him
chief justice when Mr.. Fuller retires two
or three years hence.
During the interim Judge Taft will be
serving a sort of apprenticeship on the
bench. There is no doubt that had he
lived and had the opportunity President
Mckinley would have appointed Taft to
the chief justiceship, and the understand
ing is that President Roosevelt has fully
as big an appreciation of the
lively young man,
The first office Judge Taft filed was
that of assistant prosecuting attorney of
LlbAhiiAOI SOuillS, OHlO. mat ne gave uD
to take a seat on the banch of the COM
mon pleas court. He resigned that for a
place in another court, and surrendered
that to take a seat on the superior court
bench.
He was serving in that capacity when
he was invited to become solicitor gem
eral of the United States. He resigned to
take a seat on the bench of the United
States district court at Cincinnati. That
t1rac N ltfn fNnofftn, h,,H "a
tation he gave 1t up to accept .the an
pointment of president of the Philippine
commission with the distinct understand
ing that when he had organized the gov
ernment OF the Islands he should be given
a place on the federal bench.
When the civil government was estab-
lished as superior to the military In the
Philippines the governor had to give up
the office he had in order to take an
original appointment under the new order
OF things. That made the eighth lucra-
tive office he had given UP.
