"Only a Clod.'

An epitaph was inscribed on the frail
memorial of peasant in the country
churchyard: "Only clod. !" Whether
dictated in a pathetic or cynical tenn
per, that epitaph is really grand. What
wonderful things are latent in clodl
All possibilities of forms, color, music,
light fragrance and fruitfulness are
there. Exquisite shapes, ravishing
hues, ears of gold, purple clusters,
bread to strengthen mans heart and
oil to make his face shine, dropping
honey, budding roses, pure lilies, and
a thousand other miracles of grace and
glory spring out of the dust.-Rev. W..
