   The subjoined contains a solemn warning:

   Upon a tombstone in Pennsylvania:

     John D L was born March 26 1839 in the town of West Dresden State of New York where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest."

   A tombstone in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, has these lines:

    From

   a butcher at Berhampoor, India, to a customer:

   "To his Highness—Kid Esquire

     "The humble butcher, Nows Rouny, Restpectfully sheweth that for your honor has sent a good beef, 1 rump and pleased to take it and pay day labor of bearer coolly. As your obedient butcher shall ever pray."

   From a scholar in India to his master:

     "My dear Sir: I humbly beg to inform you pleas to give me leaf for one week because I cannot walk with my feet, I am very

     uncomfortable. Give my compliments to My Master. I pray to God for Everlasting life. I am your humble Servant Shebart Lall."

   From an Indian school-boy:

     "Benevolent Sir: The wolf of sickness has laid hold on the flock of my health."

   From an Indian clerk:

     "Sir. Being afflicted to the stomach and vomiteng I am sorry I cannot attend to office today."
