eravestones at Auction.

Al Breslau recently an auction sale
was held in the military churchyard,
when large number of old and neg
lected grayestones and monuments
were offered for sale. Many things
have at different times come under
the hammer but sale OF used-up
grayestones is sufficiently unique for
comment. Before the sale the auc-
tioneer specially impressed upon
those who attended the necessity of
treating the OCCASION seriously and
for behaving with piety in the sacred
precincts. Yet, after all. the auction
nearly ended in a free fight 4 ring
of local undertakers had been form.
ed with a view TO keeping prices
down, but on each occasion when
they thought they had completed
a purchase, stranger made a bid
at the last minute and just beat
them by Sd or Cd. The ring" be-.
came SO angcred at last that thty
attempted 10 turn the stranger out
OF the churchyard, and troops had
to be called in to maintain order.
One very pathetic inciaeut marked
the sale. Just as it was over a
man dashed up TO the gates IN a
motor car, and, springing out, asked
Tor the auctioneer. lie said he had
come to buy the stone from his moth.

The Hon. William NJ Evarts, Secre-
tary of State during President Hayes
administration, was celebrated not
only as a statesman and a lawyer, but
also as a great wit.
On one occasion he was at large
stag dinner given by Edward Potter
in New York. The five Potter broth
ers were among the numerous guests.
Toward the end OF the dinner Mr..
Evarts was called on for a speech, TO
which he responded:
AS | look around this table | am
reminded OF story of a young Pres
byterlan divine recently licensed to
preach, who was holding his first SER
vice.
In leading the prayer the nervous
young clergyman began:
We thank thee,-- o, Lord, He
stopped, cleared his throat, and then
went on:
We thank thee. o, Lord
Again he paused, and then in des-
peratlon said.
I'VE thank thee o, Lord, that thou
art the clay and we are the Potters.'"
The guests were convulsed and his
speech was an instantaneous hit, al
though none but Mr. Eyarts would
nave dared to do it.-Washington

Trouble in advance,
Knowing it will hit you
When it gets a chance?
Wait its grand arrival
To get truly glum,
Simple logic tells you
1t is bound to come.
Nothing gained by fretting
Or by feeling blue:
Only makes you thinner

Wait until misfortune
