We go silently up through a winding path quite hidden in ever- green-trees and bordered on one side with a ledge of rocks, in the crevices of which ferns and wild columbines wave graceful hands at the passers-by. As we go, a partridge, hiding there from the boys with guns, who frequent the neighboring woods, whirrs up through the bushes and disappears over the rocky wall into the grove on the hill above it, safe within these enclosed acres from the cruel hunters. The crows caw to each other over in the horses' paddock among the trees, and chick-a-dees flutter almost in your face. You think of the verse, " Not a sparrow falleth to the ground without your Heavenly Father," and you leave this cjuiet place feeling that nothing should be to'o common or too small for us to notice and to love. We must not omit to mention some of the notable monuments that have been erected to horses and to dogs outside of ceme- teries. A monument that has frequently been spoken of is that which was erected in Edinburgh, Scotland, to the memory of a dog whose faithful devotion to his master's memory no human being could have surpassed. A poor tramp died and was buried in Greyfriars churchyard. When the sexton covered the grave, the little dog, who had been following his master, lay down on the grave and refused to leave it.
