A Model of Epitaphs.

Some five and twenty years ago I chanced, for a time, to Ijve in the village of Cincinnatus, N. and an inscription on a tombstone there was a wonder and delight to me. It ran as follows: ; Annie Chittenden was my name, — America my nation, Cincinnatus my dwelling-place, And Christ is my salvation. The rose is red, the grass is green, The days are past that we have seen; The days are past, but let us remember That Jesus phrist is our great Redeemer. —Henry C. Vender, in Christian Union.
