years ago after leaving the old ear-

"That little mound points. to the
spot Where rests some tiny sweet

Whose little feet were never used,
i But what of that, they walk above,.

The experience of not finding old
friends and acquaintances on the

I expressed by either Lowell or Long.:

(Postmaster Musgrove will know), •
when he wrote those touching lines ,

The mossy marbles. rest
On lips that he had pressed
In their bloom:
And the names he loved to hear
Had been carved for many a year
On the tomb."

When on a visit to the old town
In recent years T found so few people

For many years I have been fond
of reading old epitaphs. Each really
should be an epitome of the personal
history of the deceased or if the per-
sonage had no history front which
to extract an epitome much better
that no epitaph be carved and per-
haps cheaper, I am quite sure that
Hector MeQuarrie would not ap-
prove the practice of very many of
the temporary survivors, who pay for
the granite, of selecting sanctimon-
ious verses to be engraved at the base
of the stone; which would indicate
that the spirit of the body below was
already in Paradise awaiting union
with the spiritual body yet to be
given to it and destined for the Happy
Hunting Ground, when it was well
known that the drunken scoundrel
was what David Campbell would call
" a child of the devil," Fortunately,
for the cause of truth and righteous-
ness, a crop of timothy frequently
grows around the stone sufficiently
tall to hide the hypocrisy.
It seemed to me in some graveyard
I read at the base of a mounment
to perpetuate the memory of a house-
wife; "She made home pleasant." Let
us hope that was a fact and trust
the weeping widower remembered
with gratitude at least fifty years of
domestic tranquility. Some epitaphs
are very humorous. There was one
I read for a dentist; "Here lies Dr.
Jerkum, etc. He is filling his last cav-
ity" and that one where the sculptor
scrimped himself for space and in-
stead of indicating to respectful vis-
itors to her tomb that the good lady
in life was a shame-faced woman of
unusual piety, that one appeared in
the burying-ground. "Lord, she was
thin." The two best I recall at the
moment were those in memory of the
founder of the Kindergarten school
and the one chiefly responsible for
the authorized version of the Bible.
The last first, was to Tindale. "His.
life was hidden in his work and his
epitaph was the Reformation." rho
first last, was to Jeanne Henri Pesta—
lottzi,
"Here lies Jeanne Henri Pestallotzi,
Born at Zurich the 12th Feby., 1746,
Died at Brugg the 18th Jelly, 1827,
Saviour of the poor at Newhoff,
Father of the orphans at Stanz,
Teacher of humanity at Verdun,
A man, a Christian, a citizen.
Everything for others, for himself
nothing,"
Great lessons are to be learned in
grave-yards. Perhaps our greatest
poem is Gray's Elegy in a Country
Churchyard. Wash Tamblyn. asked
us, before dying, to call in when pass-
ing by; so when occasion serves let
us give them "The passing tribute of
a sigh," even though Jimmy Mun-
show the jeweller, was petrified on
his way in from Lucknow one moon-
light night when he declared he saw
a ghost rise up from behind a tomb-
stone, cross its hands on the top and
face his way. Jimmy grabbed the
whip.
Numerical strength of the principal
racialstocks in Canada at the time of
the 1941 census was, in order, Frenen,
English, Scottish, Irish, German, Mt-
ranian, Scandinavian, Netherlands,
Jewish and Polish.
