De Ia Howe Tomb.

IleuQdle, Sd1llOIAlo.'
De Ia Howe Tomb.
Fifty-six years, and few months
more,
Since stood before the old iron door,
Then it appeared that it soon must
fall,
1t was leaning far out from the
crumbling wall. .. =
Now am told it is firm and upright,
To me that would be a comforting
sight.
There in the lonely tomb in the wood,
Lies a man whose heart was more
than good. -.
If mistakes he made, they were can
celled the day
When he made "Lethe" Home
where orphans can stay.
If in France he erred, here he did
atone, - =.
"Let him that is without sin, cast the
first stone." -,
"Into the waters of Lethe, let my er-
rors be cast" .
This was his request, when breathing
his last;
That he loved children, you cannot
deny,
See what he gave them, when he bade
them goodbye.
To orphans .he gave all, a generous
bequest,
Then folded his arms and lay down
to rest. ,
"Lethe" is the name, he gave to the
place,
Wither the hand, that name would
erase;
Once in each year when the flowers
- are in bloom,
The community should come and
bring tokens to the tomb.
Let the children, in the district he
loved so well,
Bring sweet flowers, the tribute to
swell.
Place wreaths on these walls, keep
., sacred this spot,
That the donor of "Lethe" may not
be forgot.
The trees that shelter this French
mans grave,
From the blight of the axe, prosper
ity should save;.
That zephyrs through their boughs
may continue the note,
Which they murmured in the days,
now far remote.
Yes in the years, that have long since
fed,
They whispered requiem over the
noble dead.
Does the grey old sentinel still watch
by the tomb,
Both in twilight and in gloom?
And sends out his signal, over vale
| and hill,
The plaintive cry of the whip-poor-
will.
Hark! Do you hear sound down by

LET NAME. STAND
Suggests That ''Lethe e" is Best Title
g.. For Home.

Editor Press and Banner:
Perhaps there are not more than
two persons in Abbeville who know
ME, but all know of De la Howe and
Lethe. have heard that the name
"Lethe" is to be dropped from the
school. I am sending a plea for its
retention.
In 1865 I visited the De la Howe
home and tomb and found the great
er part Of the wall had crumbled and
fallen to the ground. The forest trees
were still sheltering the grave at that
time. I am told they are still there.
Would it be treating the benevolent
old mans memory with due respect
to change the name he chose for the
school? The symbol he used for the
name of the school is fine. To me
Lethe is hallowed spot. I was born
there in. 1841. The school has borne
the name of Lethe 124 years. Why
should it not retain it for all time?
