Were you ever in Aberdeen church-yard,
| and did you see in an obscure corner a
tombstone with ''To Mary" and a couple
| of verses thereon? I will give you his
tory thereof. Mary was about fourteen
years old when she died, and years before
| lost her hair by severe scald. She had
finely fitting wig that deceived almost
every one, made from coarse wooded
sleeps pelt dyed beautiful auburn. One
| of Wesley's itinerants came that way and
Mary was converted. Not many days af-
ter, the ordinance of sprinkling was adj
ministered. Mary went forward to be
sprinkled, and being timid she bent so
far forward that only Il few drops fell
upon the curly wig. Going home she was
run over by a team and died the next day
from the injuries received. Her parents
erected the stone spoken of with the fol-
lowing appropriate verse thereon.
''Buried with Christ one day before
Our precious darling died;
| She is an angel now, we deem,
Up by the Saviour's side
wag who saw her sprinkled and knew
that the wig only received the few drops
of water in the ordinance of baptism, saw
the epitaph, and cut underneath the fol
lowing:
"'Buried with Christ when scarce three drops
Upon her wig fell down;
The gates viii open not to her,
The wig will wear the CROWN
