e lush than these New England ones, beat upon our ears: [Illustration] "Oh, what is abroad in the marsh and the terminal sea?

On the way back he will show us the place where three of his favorite horses are buried, for he does not sell the old horses who have done him good service, but has them buried "with the honors of war"--that is, standing upright, with their halters and shoes on. Above one of them he has placed the epitaph: "Siste Viator! Viator te major his sistit." I do not know if, as we return to the house where already a fresh group of visitors has arrived, he will pause by a corner of the yard set off by an iron fence. He has chosen this spot as the place where he shall lie, and here, in time, are to repose under the wide and simple vault of sky the wife and children whose going before is to bring such desolation.
