By Nebos lonely mountain,
on this side Jordan's wave, .,
Ir a vale in the land OF Moab,
There lies a lonely grave.
And no man dug that sepulcher,
And man saw 1t e'er:
For the angels OF God upturned the sod
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth;
But no man hear the trampling.
or saw the trail so forth.
Noiselessly the daylight
Comes when the right Is done
And the crimson streak on oceans cheek
Grows into the great sum-
Noiselessly as the sprinstime
Her crown OF verdure weaves,
And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves
So, without sound OF music
Or voice of them that wept,
silently down from the mountain crown
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle
On gray Beth-peor's height.
out of his rocky eyry
Looked on the wonderous sight
Perchance the lion stalking,
Still shuns that hallowed spot
For beast and bird have seen and heard
That which man knoweth rot.

The shorter a man is the longer ne is
willing to talk.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-03-23

brated by Father Curtin in the recep- tion room of the drst mentioned place on January 2, 1896.
 On the morning of April .22. 1903s a big sensation occurred when Con- tractor William McGrath, who, was .excavating for the foundation of tho church, disappeared through an opening in the lot and could not bo found for several minutes, but waS finally located and fished out by Father Curtin and Contractor Ber- gen. It was thought that MT Nc. Grath got into an old cesspool, but upon further investigation it was dis covered that the spot he went down in was a portion of the Indian cave which is said to extend clear over to Pine hill, with subterreanean pass ageways leading to different parts of the district and all connecting with a monster cave in Pine Hill. The old residents tell of an opening in the rocks near that point through which nobody ever dared enter, and even the younger generation know some thing about it and tell of the roaring sounds heard as soon as one entered few feet into the aperture. Mir Mo- Grath was very much excited when he found himself slipping under the earth and declares that al the mis- deeds of his life came before him as he sank
