This little poem. from the pen of the late Presi
dent, was written before his first term in Congress
—hence some . twenty years ago. At that time pos
sibly the President of a Christian college' was the
"summit_ where the sunbeams fell," but the last
lines are all but a prophecy.
, Tl 5 beauteous night; the stars look brightly down
Upon the earth, decked in her robe of slaw.
No light glea m s at the window , save 14 own,
Whidi gives its cheer to midnight and to Inc.
And!tiow, with noiseless step, sweet memory comes
Anif leads me gently through her twilight realists.
What Poet's tuneful lyre has ever snug, k.
Or dlleate pen e'er portrayed,
The enchanted; shadowy laud. where memory
TOWANDA, PA.
• 'dwells ? - . •
It has its valleys, cheirless, lone autt,drear,
- Oark•shaded by the intinrnful cypress tree ;
And yet its annuli mountain tops are bathed
In Heaven's own blue. Upon its craggy cliffs,
Robed in the distant light of dreamy years, ,
Are clustered Joys serene of other days.
Upon its gent te,-sloplng hillsides bend —
The weeping willows o'er the sacred dust
Of denr'depaiii!dairest'aild yet - In that land,
-Whereer cur footstepsfall - upon the shore,
They that-were'iieeping rise from the dust,
TOtderith's long, silent years, and round us stand 4."
Aserst they did before the prison tomb
Itecelve,d their-clay within its voiceless halls.
The heavens that bend above that land omitting
'With clouds of various hues.. Some dark and chill,
Sureharged with sorrow, cast with sombre shade
Upon the sunny, joyous land below.
Others are floating through the dreamy air,
White as the failing snow, their margins tinged ••
With gold amterirnsoned lines: their shadowalall
Upou - the fliurery ineads_and ninny' slopes, •
Soft as the shadow of an angel's wing.
When the rough battle of the day is done,
And evening's peace fans gently on the heart,
i bound antaY, across the noisy years,
-Unio the Utmost verge of memory's laud,
Where earth and sky in dreamy distance meet,
And memory dim with dark oblivion joins,
Where woke the fist remembered sounds that fell
Upon the ear tit childhood's early morn ;
And, wandering thence along the rolling years,
I see the shadow of my former self
Gliding feout childhood up to man's estate. •
The path of youth winds down through many a
vale, • •
And on the brink Of many a dread abyss, '
From nut whose darkness comes no ray otltglit,
save that a ;Manton' dances o'er the gulf
And beckons toward the verge. Again the path
I.en.ds'o'er the sutnnift where the sunbeams tall;
And thus In light and shade, sunshine and gloom
Sorrow and joy, the life-path lends along.

iier n, WiAnesday morning. .At the
ireq est of Mrs. Garfield,' religions
services consistiEg of a prayer and . ,
reading selections from the scripture,
were conducted by Rev. Charles J:
Young,lof Long Branch.
The following passages of Scrip
ture were read "Blessed are the
dead . who die in- the Lord';" "Yea,
saith the Spirit; that they may rest
from-their labors, and their works
do follow them." "We know that if
our earthly house of this tabernacle
Were dissolved, Ap have

Eternal in the heavens, therefore . ,'we
are always confident, knowing that
whilst we are at home in the body

'and this mortal must put on immor

the saying That -is written : " Death
is swallowed--up-in victory. Q, death;
where is 'thy sting? O, grave,
where is thy victory ?" The Sting,
of death is Sin and the strength of
death is the law: But thanks be to
God who givath us victory through

"0 Thou who didst open the grave

The special train, heavily draped.
in mourning, had been some time.in
Waiting. Immediately after the con
elusion of the services at the Franck-
lyn cottage, Mrs. Garfield, accompa
nied by her son Harry, Colonel
Swaim, Colonel and Mrs. Rockwell,
Miss Mollie Garfield and Miss Rock
, •
w • •
ell, and Dr. - • Boynton and C. 0.
Rockwell, came from Francklywcot-,
tuze and entered the first coach. -
The casket !fs:very unpretentious,
being covered With rich black cloth,'
and with the exception of the heavy
silver_ mountings, is perfectly plain
The only - decoration is a large
shaped sago palm, which 'extends
from the foot of tit'D casket upwards.
The PreSident was, laid out in the
suit. of clothes he spore inauguration
day, his left hand laid across his
breast.. The body Was, so greatly
shrunken that artifloal. means were
resorted to, to, give the clothes the
appearance of fitting,. A piaster cast
was ;taken of the
- face Tuesday, as
'well as of the righ hand.

* WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-:—The spe
cial train bearing the remains of the
late President, which left Elberon.at
10 . A. reached Washington at 4.35
The passage fromtlberon to
Washington was one of . continued
Manifestation of sympathyand.sorrow.
In Ipopulouteities, in smaller villages
and even in • the country through
which the mournful train passed
deinonstrations - of sympathy and sor
row were ever . present
cities multitudes of people assembled
and 'stood silent with heads uncov
ered, as the train passed by, chile
the tolling of bells, flags- flying at
half-mast and the funvral drapery
which covered many. buildings; all
added to the solemnity of the scene.
At numerous points' along the
route 'beautiful floral offerings were
obserVed, and at several places the
track was literally covered for a dis-
tance of .naore than one hundred
yards with ferns and floweis. Even
in the country along the route, there
wag nolack of evidence - of affection,
regards, sympathy and sorrow. Men,
women and children; collected on the
porticos of residence's near the track,
at crossings and embankments corn
mandina a near view 'of the passing
train, and withdbowed and uncovered
heads for a fleeting instant as the
train rushed by gave evidence cf
their,sorrow. Labprers in. the flehl
watched the coming of- the train
bearing the dead President4 - and - with
bared arms .and uncovered heads
stood mute and sorrowful while the
train passed. .
The Procession tothe Capitol.
No „incident worthy of 'note - óc.:
purred' on board during the passage,
and at 4.35 r. M. the train. lowly en
tered ,the depot, when - idle casket was
at once removed - to the hearse in
waiting. The funeral party took .
seats in the carriages and under mil
itary escort the procession at once
proceeded to the Capitol.
A Vast Thronk of r
PeoPle
were assembled about the - depot to
do, honor to the illustrious dead.
Every avenue and approach was I
packed with jostling, but in
every instance quiet and orderly, cit
izens. A large number of poliEe
were oii'duty, and the immediate ap
proaches, to the depot were roped off
and closed against all, save those
participating, in the ceremonies; or
t. ho held special cards of admission
to the depot.. The military were
drawn' up against the east side of
Sixth street, with Ae right resting
on Pennsylvania avenue. Upon the
opposite side of the street nearest
the (repot was a long line of carri
ages, preceded by the hearse, which
was drawn pp directly at the main
gate of the-Sixth street side.
The Hearse
used today is known as the Centen
nial hearse, it having been awarded
the prize - . at ihe Centennial Exhibi,
Mon. It was draped in black of a
rich and heavy material, wholly un- -
relieved by any other color. It, was
drawn by.six iron s grayhorses, whose
trappings were arso draped in black.(.
.lust before the train entered the de
pat 'the platform was cleared, by the
police,
and officers of the Army and
Navy to the number Of 1.30 formed
in scngle rank upon the left facing
the train.
A 4 the train moved slowly into
the depot, every head upon the plat
form was uncovered, and a. stillness
as of the grave pervaded the ' , vast
throng, which for more than anlhopr
had been patiently waiting by the
roadside. Soon
assisted by Secretary Blaine, de
scended from the car t and taking his
arm upon her right, and that of her

whb gazed upon here as the central
'figure in the sad pageant. She en
tered, the State carriage and was "fol
lowed by her daughter• Mollie, son
Harry,• Mrs. Rockwell and Mimi
Rockwell. -
The others of the party were Pres
ident Arttiur, -- who leaned upon the
arm of Senator _Jones,. of Nevada,
General Grant and 'General Beale,
General 'Swaim and wife, Mr. Rock
well, Mr. Corbin', Dr. Bliss and
daughter, 'Drs. Boynton, Agnew,
Hamilton, Attorney-General Vac-
Veagh, wife and two sons, Secretary
and Mrs. Lincoln and son, Postmas
ter General and Mrs. James and Sec
retary Kirkwood. -
The first three carriages ,received
the ladies of the party, who did ;not
accompany the procession to the
Capitol.
From the-Depot to the Capitol.
-After they had moved on a short
distance. from the entrance, the casket
appeared borne tipoll the shoulders
of eight soldiers of the Second artil
lery, detailed from the arsenal bar
racks. On the' right in single file,
and headed by Adjutant General
Drum, were. officers of the Army, and
on the left officers of the Navy under
thelead of Iliear Admiral Nichols.
As the casket was borne to the
hearse the Marine Band, stationed
across the street played "Nearer My
God to' Thee," while every bead was
bowed: and many ~ e. yes dimmed. The
hush that bad fallen on the scene
and the grief mirrored on the thous
ands of faces 'marked ,the picture
with shadings that years cannot eft
fad from the memory of those who
stood about the bier of the dead
President.
After the casket had been placed
in the. hearse, the-remainder of the
party entered . the carriages find took
their places in the procession. • Ar
thur's carriage followed immediately
after the hearse, and in it were Pres
ident-Arthur, Seereiary P,lainei Chief
Justice Waite and Secretary Win
dom. The carriage containing Mrs.
Garfield and daughter was driven
down Pennsylvania avenue to 4
street, and thence to the residence of
Attorney-deneral MatVedgh, whose
guest she will be during her stay in
the city. .
• The Line. •
A 5 soon - as the last of the •PreSi
dcntial party _had entered the carri:
ages, the" signal was given by the
bugle and the military escort formed
in . line, and the mournful processipn
started on the way.to the Capitol in
the following order: , •
A platoon of mounted Police; Gen
eral Ayer and mounted staff; Wash
ington Light :Infantry and band ;
UnionVeterin Corps ;''National Ri
_
fles; Washingtim Light Guards; Cap
ital City Guard ; United States Ma
rine Band and Drtun Corps;_ Deta'eh-
ment of Marines; Second U. S. Artil
lery band ; four companies of heavy
artillery and one light battery, Wash
ington and Columbia Commanderies
of Knights Templar.' Then followed
the hearse flanked on either side by.
a single line of Army and 'Navy oill
cers, among them Generals Sherman,
Drum, Meigs t Sackett, Poe, Dodge,
.McKeever, Ruggles, Breck, Col.
Barr and about fifty others of the
army; and Rear-Admiral Nichols,
Commodores English and Sickard,
Pay Director Tooker, Captain De-
Kraft and, Captain ;C. H. Wells ;
Commanders Howell, Manly, Howl-
son, Law ; Lieutenants Schroeder,
Belden, Wainwright, Bartlett, Stock
ton and Sebree, and about fifty (Alt=
ers. After the hearse came the car
riage of President Arthur with
mounted policemen on either - silo,
and 'following it, half a dozen other
carriages, with memb'ers-4f the - Cabi - :
net and others who had accompanied
the remains froin Elberon." A platoon
of mounted police brought up the rear.
With Muffled Drums
and a solemn ` funeral= dirge, the pro
cession moved slowly up the avenue.
dense mass lined the sidewalks all .
the way from Sixth street.to the east
front of the Capitol, and on this por
tion of the route the crowd was ap
parently as great as Upon- the : , occa
sion of the President's inaugural pro
cession. A comparison between the
two occasions was doubtless in many
-minds, and ,numerous expressions of
sorrow were made' at the sad con
trast.
As the procession moved up the
Avenue, scarcely a sound was heard
save that from the feet of moving
men and horses. Hats were removed
and heads bowed - as if by a common ins;
pulse of deep and unfeigned grief, as
the procession moved on towards the
Capitol. Here, at the east front of,
the building, a vast assemblage had
congregated to view the funeral cor
tege. At the foot of the steps was a
double - file of Senators and Represen
tatives, headed by their respective
officers, waiting in respectful silence
to escort the remains into' the rotun.
da. At precisely 5:10 P. 31., the head
of the sad procession moving around
the south side of the Capitol, arrived
at the east front Of the Capitol, the'
arms of the military being reversed
and the bands playing a dead march.
The order was then • given to carry
arms and the troops came to front
face, while to the muffled beat of
drums the hearse and its attendant
train of carriages drew slowly up in
front of the escort.
At the Capitol, •
A hush came.over the multitude,
and heads were revently uncovered
as the casket was .carefully lifted
from the hearse. The officers of the
army. and navy drew up in- parallel
lines on either side of the hearse, and
the Marine band played:
,itigain
"Nearer My God to Thee," as. with
solemn tread the remains of Presi.
dent Garfield were borne into the ro:
tunda and placed upon the catafalque,
the Senators and Representatives
preceeding and arranging themselVes
on melt side of the dais: Close be
hind the casket walked President Ar
thur and Secretary Blaine, followed by
Waite and Windom, Grant, Hunt, Lin
coln, James,
Rockwell, Swaim, Corbin, Broivn.

'ICC. T. D. Poivers delivered a feel

so long pending over our Nation has
at last burst upon our heads. We
s:it half crushed amid the ruin it bus
wrought. A million million of priiy-.
ers, - hopes and tears, as far as human
wisdom sees, were vain. ,Dur loved
One 1148 passed from' us. But 'there,
is relief. We look - awayi, from the
body; we:_forego-
.for a time the
things that are seen ; -we remember -
with joy . his- faith in the .Son of -God,
whose-Gospel he himself
preached, and which he alfrays truly •
loved, and we see light and blue sky
through the • cloud ; structure and
beauty, instead of-ruin; glory, honor,
immortality, spiritual and eternal life
in the place of decay and death.,
Tile chief glory of this man' as we
think of him now was his disciple
ship, in the-school of His at
tainments as a scholar and statesman
will be a theme for our orators anti
hiStorians, and they _must be worthy -
- men to speak .his praise worthily. '
But it is as a Christian that we love
to think of him now. It -was this
which made his life to Man an inval

speakable loss,:bis eternity to him
"self an inheritance incorrpptible, un
defiled, 'and that fadeth• riot away.
His example as son, -husband - and
father is glory- to 'this Nation.. Ile
had a most kindly nature, his power '
over human hearts was 'deep and
strong. He Won men to -him., f . le
had no enemies: The hand that
struck him was not the hand Of his
enemy, but the enemy of position,
-the enemy of the country,.the enemy
of God. -..iresouLdit.to d.oxight man :
