county tax books will close the last
day of March. Do not put it on un-
til the last minute. Pay at once. and
avoid the unpleasantness of the una
voidable rush that We always have
at that time.
Also remember that the taxes are
40 cents higher on each assessed $l00
valuation over last year. And when
you come be sure and bring a correct
description of the property on which
you wish to pay 1912 taxes.
| have tried to make these few re-
quests. plain. and you will not only
facilitate the working of this office 20
heed them, but we can give you more
speedy and efficient service.
Respectfully,
w. l.. COLBERT.

 Mercy LarEin.'' Dear daughter. we knew she must
 leave US
 When day after day We saw her frai1 form fast wasting
 away Her low hallow cough and shortness
 of breath
 Soon told of decease more dreadful
 than death
 But why should we mourn that our
 Sister is early at rest. And with the bright angels in heaven
 she's b1est
 How gladly We here her loved form
 would retained But we know that our loss is her
 infinite gain.''
 Perhaps the best epitaph ever writ ten Is that over the grave of Albrecht Durer-the single word. "Enigravit.' It is to be hoped that the New England Genealogical society vii take Tnea sures to preserve the ton1bstones in all the ancient burying grounds and that it may have the assistance and cooperation of other historical soeie- ties.
 After all, Death is always death, and the place where the dead lie Col gotha," but we are not meant to go through the world mourning. The graveyards are only in scattered places. If we can be cheerful over the rest of Ife's journey, we can afford to leave our hearts best over the one little spot where we mourn, our holy of ho- lies!
 Although death comes at last to us all, some Of the cemeteries are so ten derly kept that the grave is robbed of half it's dread. Even in some of the

 It has been truly and f1ttingly said that cemeteries express the feelings and meet the wants of an altered time. the dead is almost coeval with the ex- istence of mankind. Without the les sons we learn from them, the arch ftecturaI history of Rome is an uT- irteTIfgfBle maze, and the connection between the arts of Greece and Italy, from the earliest time, equally fnex- plfGabIe. These voices from the dead make, as it we're, a transition bridge for us all to cross.
 The mounds Of tun1uii, in America, as we all know. probably owe their ori- gin to the Mound Builders
 In the vicinity of Chicago, near Wa1dheiTn cemetery, are a number of mounds. which have produced skulls Of such peculiar formation as to show. beyond doubt, they are the efanfa of the Mound Builders.
 The different customs of burial are well worth our attention for little while at least. The BabyloniaIIS ern- balrned their dead fn honey, and were bitterly opposed to cremation. thinking such a performance nothing short of dfsloyaIty to the sun.

 Tn one division of the country, a singular scene occurred when two burfaIs were to take place in one churchyafd on the same day.

 The custom of laying flat stones in our churchyards over the graves has been transmitted from very ancient times, as appears from the writings of Cicero.

 It's brevity has, of necessity, made 1t epigramn1atic, and some of our best epfgraYns are in the form of epftaphs. Nearly every poet, from Chaucer down. has written them to the memory of the living and dead.
