It is believed by them that the spirit of the last person burfed watches over the churchyard umtil an- other is buried, to whom he deiivers his charge. In one diviston of the country, singular scene occurred Wi btirials were to take place in one chureliyard on the same day. Both parties went as fast as they could to consfgn their respective friend, in the first place, to the Qust. They met at the gate and the dead were thrown down until the living decided by blows whose ghost should be con- demned to watch, The custom of laying flat stomes in our churehyards over the graves has been transmitted from very ancient times, as appears from the writings of Cleero. When we consider the fulsome eulo- gles on some stones, we feel Iike ask- ing the pertinent question Lamb put to his sister, ,Mary, where do the naughty people lie?” u‘pliaph should most certainly ba briof, and should have both beauty of expréssion and tenderness of feel- ing. e real sorrow is never lo- quacious. In England, many of the humorous epitaphs are due to the fact that it seemeq to be the only place where a man could express himself freely. This custom was brought over to us about the 18th century, e lles like an epitaph” dld nut become an aphorism for a long t Its bfavll}' has, of necessity, mads it splgrammatic, and some of our best epigrams are in the form of epitaphs. Nearly every poet, from Chaucer down, has written them to the memory of the living and dead. Most of the following epitaphs, al- though nefther beautiful in expres- glon, nor tender in sentiment, yet they may be found rather unique and in- teresting. This characteristic inscrip- tion was found over a dentist's grave: “He is filling his last cavity.” There was no intentional disrespect in the widow of the deceased, who ve some honor to her lord, but was evidently of a timorous nature : a two “Fo follow you Fm not content Vmfl I know which w‘:‘y you went.” Who never more will trouble you, - trouble you.” We are sorry “Uncle Peter” was tso previous, but he was delightfully eir- cumstanial, nevertheless. “Beneath this stone, a Iump of clay, Lies Uncle Peter Daniel Who. early it ke month of May, Took off His winter flannel Domestic troublés have been laid bare on the tombstone since the time of the Greeks and Romans.

Nor In Vineyard Haven, I heard the sad story of a bride of long ago, whose husband went off whaling for four years. He was lost at sea, and she dfed a few months after he left her: both mercifully ignorant of each oth- er's fate. The following inscription bears testimony to their worth: “Lydia, wife of John Claghorn. She died Dec. 81, 1770, in ye 23 yr. of her age. John and Lydia, That lovely Pair. A whale killed Him, Her body lies here. There souls we hope With Christ naw Reign,” So our great loss Is there great Gain.” In quaint old Edgartown, on a hill overgrown with briers, lies an old broken tribute to the memory of Rob- ert Stone, died 1689. The inscription is partly deciphera- ble, and reads: “This is the place of the oldest tombstone on Martha's Vineyard.” Sixty rods southeast from grave may be seen the rufns of the cellar of ihe first white Settler who came to the island in 1630. In the cheerful, well kept littie cem- ¢tery in North Truro are many phil- osophic carvings. One té “Caleb Up- ham, who expired April 8th, 1786—I have been and that is all” “Priscilla Upham, amiable consort, v.l;o expired in a fitt of apoplexy, 1785.” This epitaph to Horace Ayres may lack in rhythm, but it is certainly re- signed: “Go hom my friend ang céas yeur 1 must he hear ’till Christ appeers Here's joyful news for évery suffer- er, here’s a real combination remedy that includes a 2¢ day’s internal treat- ment in tablet form that restores the blood circulation, reduces the swellings up the piles. )lo mattér how long you have suf- THE KNIFE DONT END PILES.

After all, “Death s always death, and the place where the dead lie Gol- gotha,” but we are not meant to_go through the world mourning. The graveyards are only in scattersd places. If we can be cheerful over the rest of life's journey, we can afford to leave our heart's best over the one. little spot where we mourn, our hely of ho- lies! Although death comes at last to us all, some of the cemeteries are 8o ten- derly kept that the grave is robbed of half its dread. Even in some of the oldest burial grounds, where the worn, scarred stones iean with the privilege of age, the staring death’s heads are cozily muffled in moss, and Patlence, wife of Experience, sleeps under a coverlet of heartsease.
