THE MAIL MAN
THE CHURoHYARD.

THE CHURCHY ARD. I strolled
 Along the churchyard lanes Where roses blushing in the sun Clung close to marble monuments. The only sound that broke the spell Of that green silent city Was song of birds. And as I strolled I came upon Huge marble pillars grand. That reared their heights above the
 mound Of one who while he lived on earth Was man and master Of many lowly men of toll. And it was fitting that this shaft Should shade the mound where his
 proud head Should lie in everlasting sleep, For he was proud, in life, And lowered over fellow men In naughty grandeur. But now at last six feet of earth Had leveled him to common size. And l strolled on in silent thought Amid the humber monuments And noted that some loving hands Were keeping green the memories Of happy days. And On the polished marble white I read of homely virtues That marked the one who lay be-
 meath With folded hands, And it was we'll For graven words In granite spoke Of useful life, And friends who grieved at parting. Then through the churchyard gates
 there came A mournful cortege. Who made their weeping way To open grave, And laid at rest one who had been A husband and a father. And silently I went my way. For l knew we'll That loudest walls are soonest
 hushed, And gushing tears too soon are
 dried. But down beside an unmarked mound A little woman knelt in prayer. No sound came from the lips that
 prayed, NO tears came from the eyes That were uplifted. But in their silent depths I read The love she held close to her heart For some one missing. uncovered there I stood all still. And dared not break the sacred spell For well l knew within that mound Tier heart was buried.
