A Watchmaker's Epitaph.

The following epitaph is reproduced from
a tombstone in Welsh cemetery:
Here lies in horizontal position the
outside case of George Rutleigh, watch
maker: whose abilities in that line were an
honor To i,is profession. Integrity was the
manspring and prudence the regulator of
all the actions of life. Human, honest, in
dustrou-, his hands never stopped until
they had relieved distress. He had the art
of disposing of his time in such n way that
he never went wrong except when set
a-going by persons who did not know his
key, and even then was easily set right
again. He departed this life Nov. Z, 1911
wound up in the hope of being taken in
hand by his Maker, thoroughly cleaned
regulated and repaired and set a-going in
the world to come.
