A GRIDIRON ON A GRAVEsTONE.
Singular Epitaph of Person Who
Cooked for a Duke.

From the Philadelphia Record.
There are few more curious inscriptions
In the whole literature of epitaphs says
London Million, than that on the grave of
William Simonds of Wood Dtton. Cam
bridge. In his lifetime he occupied the po-
sition of head cook to the late Duke of
Rutland's father, who resided in a stately
mansion in Cheveley Park, near Newman
ket. His love of the good things of the
world was fostered by the opportunities
he possessed in the ducal kitchen. Nature
had evidently endowed him with a con-
stitution of iron strength. for. notwith-
standing all the "sops" and luXuries with
which he regaled himself, he managed to
reach four score years before he surrender
ed them He was an admirable cook and
displayed his abilities in many eccentric
ways. He was not ashamed of his profess
sion, for, in accordance with his last
wishes, the culinary utensil he had ham
died for so many years-the dripping pan
or gridron-waS placed on his SraVeStone,
where 1t may be seen to this day. 1t Is a
curious piece of hardware, and Is kept In

derneath is the following quaint inscrip-
ton:
Here lies my corpse who was the man
Who loved q sop in the dripping pan;
But now, believe me, I am dead
Now here the pan stands at my head.
7 still for sop to the last I cried,
But could not eat, and so I died.
NV neighbors they perhaps. may laugh
When they do read my epitaph.

around every lot on the farm. which was a
large one. All this stone came off his place
Every spring his boys were put to work
early with the cattle and the stone boat

to build a new and larger spring house for
his milk and the boys and cattle went to
work hauling stone for it.
Zone day CephaS, the oldest boy came
in to say that they'd got stone enough haul
ed for the new spring house.
THE old man put on his hat and went
out to see.
Thee thinks that is enough, Cephas %
he said, as his gray eyes slowly wandered
over the huge pile of rocks the boys had
got together.
Yes, father said Cephas.
