horticultural grounds. Here | grasp the
hand of that dear old man, Prof. DuPre
whose heart was all golden and royal. He
was child of nature. He loved children
and flowers, the songs of birds, the hum
of bees, the gardens, the orchards, the vel
vcty green of well-kept lawns, the open
| sky, the dawn of morn, the golden glory
of noon, the moon with her soft and silvcry
beams, and the unchanging light of the un-
changing stars. Fain would [ visit dear
old Abboville and lay upon his grave at
| least few fading flowers. Over the grave
of her he most loved, the greatest of all
humorists inscribed these lines that might
be fifty chiseled upon the head stone of
him who loved nature and served his fellow
men:
Green summer sod lie lightly here,
Soft summer wind, blow gently here,
Good night, dear heart,
Good night Good night"
