Gray wrote a number of poems of

Is perhaps the best known and the

masterpiece n by many will ever be
considered as the greatest poem that

can equal it in simple beauty and in
terse and elegant expression. If one
reads it slowly and carefully, he will
see how expressive and how beautifully
Worded it is. how not a single word
could be improved by the substitution
of another, how the entire poem is
gradually and sublimely constructed.
1T is more than a poem. it is a great
philosophy. Nc stronger blow was ever
dealt to pomp and show, to vanity and
the baser ambitions. It points the way
to correct living and thinking and CON
talns no pessimism, except for those
who wish to cling to the petty and base
things of life. 1t will never lose it's
charm. for it is laden with truth and
music.

Tho Battle of slenheim.

1T was a summer evening
Oid kaspar,s work was done,
And he before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun;
And BY him sported on the green
His little %grandchild Wilhelmine.
She saw her brother Peterkin
Roll something large and round,
Which he beside the rivulet.
In playing there, had found:
he came to ask what he had found
Old kaspar took it from the boy,
Who stood expectant by:
And then the old man shook his head,
AND, With q natural sigh

For there's many hereabout;
And often. when I go to pillow,

Young Peterkin he cries;
And little Wilhelmine looks up
With wonder-waiting eyes

And what they fought each other for"

But what they fought ZACH other for

That t was a famous victory.
MY father lived at Blenheim then,
Yon little stream hard by;
They burnt his dwelling to the ground,
And he was forced to fly,
So with his wife and child he fled,
Nor had he where to rest his head.
with fire and sword the country round
Was wasted far and wide:
And many a chflding mother there
And newborn baby died;
But things like that. you know, must be
AT every famous victory.
.They say it was a shocking sight
After the field was won-
For many thousand bodies here
Lay rotting in the sun:
But things like that. you know. must be

Said little Wilhelmine.

DASHED HIS HOPES OF GLORY
Wou'd-6e Military Hero, Aged Eleven,
Recognized Call That There Was
No Disobeyins.

Senator John Sharp Williams was
never in the Confederate army. But
the fault is not his. He started with
the best intentions. as we'll as with a
knapsack filled with a good lunch.
The war was at it's height when he
was a big boy of eleven. and as his
father was in the army, and dozens of
friends and relatives had gone forth
to battle against the dreaded "Yank,"
John Sharp one night decided that his
country called him to arms. The fact
that he was only eleven, and about the
only road he knew was that to the
candy shop, did not deter him. Out
in the darkness of the night the call"
OF his country sounded as loud as the
dinner horn to hungry field hands.
So young William arose and set
forth down the road in the early dawn.
And as he tramped down the lanes of
dust, past the still farmhouses over
which hung the early smoke from the
kitchen chimney. he dreamed dreams
OF how he would come back on a
%prancing charger covered with glory.
gore and gold lace. Then suddenly
behind him he heard the lope of an APP
preaching horseman. Looking back.
he saw 1t was old Uncle Zeph ON the
blind mule. Uncle Zeph pulled up the
mule with a jerk beside his young mas
ter.
John, your nav says as how you
better be gittin' back home in a hurry.
She amt er goin' ter stand fur no SIGH
COINS on" exploded Zeph. You jes'
CHM up here hind me on dis mule and
he'll tote us home ter breakfast"
So John climbed aboard the mule
and turned his face homeward, leaving
IN the ashes of a dead past his high
hopes of military glory.

Gray Buried There.

How appropriate it is that the poet
is buried here in the spot that he knew
and loved so we'll? This vas the place
of his dreams and his inspirations and
here he likely spent some Of the hap
piest moments of his life lost in noble
thought and poetic music. 1t was not
the grandeur of the great city, the
learning of the university. or the in
%spiration of travel that brought forth
this great masterpiece, out the simple
rustic beauty and quietude of his lit
tie rural nook. This is the place that
seized upon his imagination and in
spired him as nothing else did. it was
here he learned to despise n pity
the pomp and tinsel of life. 1t was here
that he realized that the work of the
humblest rustic is often more useful
to mankind than the work of a states
man or an emperor; and he sleeps be-
side his mother, whom he loved so
dearly. in the church yard which was
his inspiration and which he has made
immortal.
The first church to be built here
was built in early Norman times, and
the present church was erected about
