From his ediot stern there is no appeal
For a tyrant king is he.
He sits unmoved on his ehon throne,
Where the young and the old forever
meet
The frost OF the centuries on his head
And the nation at his feet,
No word OF respite unl0cks his lips,
Though poets and sages have question
ed HIM
And he has no grace Of a softer mood
Tc brighten the ages dim.
He hows no favor to lord or churi,
And he reaps harvest Of pain ana

His beard has growth from the dust Of

And cold and keen is his arctic breath
And there Is no power that earth can

80 Anpomattox AppIe Tree.

ne AHHAfNdAAAh NFNNHt- AFNNF
The Appomattox apple tree fades
and withers from time to time but
never dies. 1t is a perennial Here
it Is blooming out again. An old sol
der presented to the University Of

said came from the tree beneath
which Lee surrendered 10 Grant, stat
ing that 'ke was present at the time
the tree was cut down and took a
portion of il to preserve it as a relic.
The dean Of the faculty, believing
that there must have been something
upon which was based the widespread
belief that the surrender took place
under an apple tree. wrote TO Gen.
Gordon on the subject He stated
that he was familiar 9th the history
Of what occurred IN the Mclean
house and knew that the articles OF
surrender were signed there. but he
wanted to know how the apple tree
came into the story. To his letter
Gen. Gordon replied as follows:
Mr.. Sylvanus Morris. Athens. Ga:
Dear Professor; Yours received.
Both Gen. LongsIeet and myself
were present in the room when the
formal surrender took place at APP
pomattox. as was also Col Marshall
The account. therefore. which states
lhes only Col. Marshall was present
is Incorrect The apple tree Incl
dela is a romance No surrender
took place except in the room OF the
Mclean house. The only connection
Of the surrender with the apple tres
is the fact that Gen. Lee and Gen.
Grant met there for a few moments
and agreed upon the place for formal
meeting. Probably the most appro-
pirate inscription you could place on
the piece Of wood would be to the
effect that it was taken from the
apple tree near which Gems. Lee and
Grant met prior to the surrender
with best wishes. am, sincerely
