Burning Driftwood.
[From the. Independent]
Before my driftwood fire I sit,
And see with every waif I burn,
Old dreams and fancies coloring it.
And folly’s unlaid ghosts return.

0 ships of mine, whose swift keels cleft
The enchanted sea on which they sailed,
Are those poor fragments only left
Of vain desires and hopes that failed ‘3

Did I not watch from them the light
Of sunset on my towers in Spain,

And see, far off. uploom in sight,
The Happy Isles I might not gain?

Did sudden lift of log reveal -
Arcadia 5 vales of song and spring,
And did I pass with grazing keel
The rocks whereon the sirens sing?

Have I not drifted hard upon
The unmapped regions lost to man,
The cloud-pitched tents of Prester John,
The palace domes of Kubla Khan ?

Did land winds blow from jasmine flowers,
Where Youth the ageless Fountain fills?
Did Love make sign from rose-blown bowers,

And Gold from Eldorado’s hllls?

Alas I the gallant ships that sailed
On blind Adventure’s errand sent,
Howe’er they laid their courses, failed
To reach the haven of Content.

And of my ventures those alone

Which Love had freighted safely sped,
Seekinge good beyond my own,

By clear-eyed Duty piloted.

O mariners hoping still to meet
The luck Arabian voyagers met,
And find in Bagdad’s moonlit street
Haroun al Raschid walking yet I

Take with you, on your Sea of Dreams,
The fair, fond fancies dear to youth ;
I turn from all that only seems,
.And seek the sober grounds of birth.

What matter that it is not May,

That birds have flown and trees are bare,
That arker grows the shortening day,

An colder blows the wintry air!

The wrecks of passion and des1re,
The castles I no more rebuild,
May fitly feed my driftwood fire,
And warm the hands that age has chilled.

Whatever perished with my ships,
I only know the best remains ;
A song of praise is on my lips
For losses which are now my gains.

Heap high my hearth ! No worth is lost ;
No wisdom with the folly dies,

Burn on, poor shreds, your holocaust
Shall be my evening sacrifice !

Far more than all I dared to dream,
Unsought before my door I see ;

On mugs of fire and steeds of steam
The world’s great wonders come to me.

And holier signs, unmarked before,
Of Love to seek and Power to save—

The righting of the wronged and poor,
The man evolving from the slave.

And life, no longer chance or fate,
Safe in the gracious Fatherhbod,

I fold o’cr-wearied hands and wait.
In calm assurance of the good.

And well the waiting time must be,
Tho’ brief'or long its granted days,
If Faith and Hope and Charity
Sit by my evening hearth fire’s blaze.

And with them friends whom Heaven has
spared,
Whose love my heart has comforted,
And, sharing all my joys, has shared
My tender memories of the dead.

Dear souls who left us lonely here,

Bound on their last, long voyage, to whom
We, day by day, are drawing near,

Where every barque has sailing room.

I know the solemn monotone
0f waters calling unto me; o

I know from whence the airs have blown
That whisper of the eternal sea.

As low my fires of driftwood burn,
I hear that sea’s deep sounds increase,
And, fair in sunset light, discern
Its mirage-lifted Isles of Peace.

he Putnam Park.

The New York Sun recently published
the following interesting description of
the Putnam camp ground at Redding,
where the state has just erected a hand-
some monument, built by Mr. P. W. Bates,
of Norwalk. As our readers are all more
or less interested in the preservation of
the old landmarks of that historic spot we
reproduce the article for their perusal :—

It is but a little distance from the
Westchcstcr‘county border of New York
state to that landmark of the revolution in
Fairfield county, the winter encampment
of General Israel Putnam’s division of the
Continental army, at ltcdding, 1778—9.
This place has been restored by the state
of Connecticut until it is now one of the
most valued treasures of the state. Put-
nam had three camps, but the vestiges of
only one remained, and, when it was
rosblvad to restore this, two men, Aaron
Treadwell, of Bedding, and U. B. Jen-
nings of Fuirfield, gave the land, about
forty acres, which has been converted'
into a park, for which purpose the legisla-
ture appropriated $22,100. The work of
creating the Putnam Memorial Park has
been in charge of a commission of seven,
appointed by Governor Bulkelcy, of which
Major 0. H. Blanchard, of Hartford, was
chairman.

The work has been completed. The
entrance is through a cleft in a hcdge—ltkc
thicket between two frowning ledges.
Directly ahead stands the Putnuu monu-
ment, an oblisk ten feet square at the
base and forty—two feet high, built of
rough ashlar, except the pedestal, which
is of polished granite; On the west side
’an inscription tolls what the monument
commemorates On the east side is this :

The men of ’76 who suffered here

To prose: ve forever their memory, the State of
Connecticut has erected the monument,
A. D. 1888

The north side bears those words:

The world is full of their praises.
Postority stands astonished at their deeds.
The south side bears the names of the

division commanders. The monument
stands on a orug twelve feet above the
plateau on which the line of barracks
stood. Ncur at band is». beautiful lake,
made by drumming one of the two streams
in the park. The dam is built of cut
granite, laid in cement, and has a fancy
gate house. Almost the first thing after
the main entrance are two block houses
on either hand, standing on granite bases
eight feet high. fl‘bcv are like those in
storming or defending which Putnam and
his followers dietinguisbcu themselves.

 

NOBWALK

They are of logs, notched at. the ends,
about eight feet high, and pierced with
loopholes for muskets. They project over
the stone piers on which they stand two
fectall around. and have leopboles m the
floors so that defenders may fire down
upon an enemy lurking underneath.
There are but two of these block houses
now in existence that were used in Indian
warefare, one near Detroit, on Sugar
Island, and the otbcron Mackinaw Island.
The Bedding block houses were copied
from these.

From the entrance to the park to the
monument is a steep up grade botwuan
walls of cut granite and over an arched
stone bridge parapetcd in true colonial
style. It was from the stream that this
bridge spans that the soldiers got their
water. At. the base of the monument
begins the line of the ruins of the old bar-
racks, running northward in a straight
line over at quarter of a mile. They are in
parallel rows about twenty-five feet apart
cuch way—nothing but heaps of mossy
stones that. once formed the fire places of
the log houses. These. will be preserved.
W illows and clms will be set out to throw
arches above lllem.~ Superintendent Bar-
tram has lately purchased twenty acres of
land on the north out of the camp, where
are a few molc fire places, and also the
famous Philip Rock and Cave.

Altogether there will bl- one and one-
half miles of beautiful Ill iv»: in the park
and seven springs-1 of water. Many of the
trees in the old :lppic orchard, which were
set out in the camp the year after Putnam
left 11, are still drawing: su tt-llancc from
the ashes of lbccmnp tires of the Revolu-
tion. Not a day passe:- but some relic is
dugup, such as built-ls, pt-wu-r spoons,
and mess kettles. A brass button was
dug up bearing the ruin-d lcllcrs, “U. S.
A.” All the curiosities found hereafter
will be added to the stock already on
hand, which comprise sheath knives,
wrought nails, and quaint irons hammered
out in camp and presented by Putnam to
Col. Barlow of Bedding, letters from
Putnam and others written at the camp,
and lhc bones of tWo men executed on
Gallows Hill. The collection will be
placed in a cottage of colonist style, which
will be used as a museum. This will
stand in the grove of maples. This grove
comprises about ten acne, is owned by
the state, and is being fitted Willi tables
and accommodations for visitors, as no
picnic parties will be allowed within the
park. -

Back of the camp is a monsu'ous clifl?
covered with enormous boulders dotted
with trees,and seamed with caves. In
this wild spot it is said one of the veterans
lived after the war, having found a life of
peace too irksomc. His pillaging expe-
ditions finally led the farmers to shoot
him. His ghost still haunts the caves, it
is said. Another-story is of the terrible
example Putnam made of a spy and a
dcscrter, in order to subdue a discontent
in the army. He ordered them shot to
death before his soldiers, and formed his
army in a hollow square around the scene
of the execution, on top of the h‘gh bill,
which towers over the camp, After they
were shot the whole army was marched
by and every soldier made to view the
bodies of the two men wherc they had
fallen. . _'

Putnam spent a most. gloomy Winter 111
Bedding camp. His soldiers suffered
tcrribly.. The Connecticut brigade han an
especial grievance in that, while their pay
was long in arrears and they were nearly
naked and starving in camp, their ines
and children were in equally as desperate
straits at home. The troops Were sent to
Bedding front the highlands of the H udson
to protect the Sound shore and to support
the New York city garrison. There was
much snow that winter and the cold was \
intense. The poor soldiers in their rude
huts cowered in bundles of straw. For
weeks at a time they Were on half allow-
ancc. In January the legislature sat at
Hartford, but did little to relieve the suf-
ferers, and at last the troops formed the
design of marching to Hartford and secur-
ing justice at the point of the bayonet.
They had formed in ranks for that purpose
when Putnam heard of it. He was speed-
ily 11] front of them, and after an impas-
sioned appeal concluded with:

Whose cause have you been hghtin : ? I. it

not your own ? Have you no property. wives,
norchildren? You have behaved like men
so far. All the world is full of your praises.
and posterity will stand astonished at your
deeds. Your officers have not been any better
paid than yourselves. But we all expect better
times; think what a shameit would be for Cou-
nocticut men to run away from their officers.
Then he quickly ordered the men on
regimental parade,which was gone through
with good humoredly, and the arms were
stacked. 'l‘hc ringleader was confined in
the guard house for trial and shot during
the night by a sentry while escaping. The
mutiny thus ended.
The New Haven Colony Historical soci-
ety, the Fairlield County Historical soci-
ety, and many others are to petition con-
gress, setting forth the talents and public
services of the soldier poet, Joel Barlow,
who was Putnam’s friend, and asking for
the removal of his remains to his native
country. They have asked the Putnam
Camp commissioners for consent to lay
his remains beside those of his comrades
in arms in Putnam Memorial Park. Their
request has been granted.
