QUAINT EPITAPHs.

Gems From Ancient oraveyards In
Suffolk, England.
The Suffolk England) Institute Of
Archaeology has been collecting eri-
taphs from the ancient graveyards
throughout the shire. and several Of
the most curious are here printed. One
shows traces of a pessimistic philoso-
ply surprising when we consider the
strong orthodoxy Of the day when the
epitaph was written:
Beneath this stone lies Catherine Gray.
Changed to a lifeless lump Of clay.
BY earth and clay she got her pelf.
And now she's turned to clay herself.
Who knows but in the course of years
In some tall pitcher or brown pan
She in her shop may stand again.
Another from Suffolk reads as fol-
lows:
Here lies Robert Wallas.
The King of Good Fellows.
Clerk of All Hallows
And maker of bellows.
These which follow could scarcely be
lines chosen by the reverend occupant
Of the tomb himself. a clergyman
named Chest:
Hero lies at rest. do protest.
One Chest within another.
The chest of wood was very good.
Who says SO Of the other?
And. to conclude. here Is q bit Of phi
losophy that cannot be improved by
any of the great thinkers of all time:
Here l lie outside the chancel door:
Here lie because I'm poor.
