TO the employment of the former for
purposes usually filed by the latter.
Thus in many sections of the southern

grapevines are granite posts, and

Undertakers.

Tn England IN 1914 undertakers were
men of influence who undertook for a
consideration 10 get such persons re-
turned to parliament as would prove
submissive TO the royal win OF King
James l. The three chief underwriters
of 1914 were Lords Bacon. Somerset
and Neville. They undertook to bride
the chief speakers and men of iniiu-
ence in parliament that year over to
the side Of the king, with but partial
success. Then there were underwriters
IN Ireland in 1G0S. They were English
and Scotch colonists sent to north Ire
land and were each allotted 1000 acres
of land They were men of capital
and undertook to pay a mark year
for every six acres and to admit no
recusant for tenants; hence the name
as applied to them. But neither the
histories nor the dictionaries give any
reason for calling the men who bury
our dead undertakers.

Written ON Glass.

Miss Harriet Auber's beautiful lines,
sour Blessed Redeemer, Ere He
Breathed," were written by the au-
thoress on windowpane in her house
at Hoddesdon. A dealer in curios tried
to purchase this interesting and pc
culiar manuscript from the owner OF
the house after the death of Miss
Auber in 1862, but he was unsuccess-
full. The pane OF glass was subse-
quently stolen, and 1t has never since
been found or its fate discovered.
Centuries ago TheOdulph, bishop of
Orleans, while in prison at Metz com
posed the hymn, ''All Glory, Laud and
Honor" which he wrote on the win
dow of his cell. AS the usual Palm
Sunday procession passed through the
town the emperor heard sounds OF
singing proceeding from the prison.
He thereupon liberated the bishop,
whose hymn was afterward regularly
used on each succeeding Palm Sunday
as a professional. the choir taking up
each quatrain and the public joining
in singing the chorus.
