Show A Poet's Besting Place. Walt Whitman has chosen a spot for the final disposition of his body when his life is ended. The place is characteristic character-istic of the, man. It is located in Har-leigh Har-leigh cemetery, about a mile from Cam-don, Cam-don, N. J., and in the prettiest part of the grounds. It is a natural mound, be-peath be-peath majestic oaks and cheatnut trees, while about 200 feet below a stream of water flows over a precipice from an artificial lake. A driveway which leads through the woods winds within a few feet of the spot, and the boughs of the gnarled oaks ure spread like arms over the hillock and touch the greensward on the sides. Back of this piece of ground is the woods, where a footpath leads to the entrance gate. Exchange. |
