WE extract the following from Mrs. Partington's "Carpet Bag of Fun":—
A STRING OF EPITAPHS.
"WEEP, stranger, for a father spilled
From a stage-coach, and thereby killed:
His name was John Sykes, a maker of sassengers,
Slain with three other outside passengers."
"Here lies the body of James Monk,
Suddenly drowned when he was drunk;
He paid his score, and cheated no man—
De mortius nil nisi bonum."
